Revenue Recognition Schedule and Its Entries

The Lifecycle

Entry status is a separate vocabulary. Native recognition and reopening move affected entries between Unrecognized and Recognized; retiring a schedule does not change those entries.

Transitions Explained

The transition rows distinguish releasing revenue, undoing fiscal recognition and retiring the source generation. Recognition includes due earlier releases, subject to the source booking-date check.

What Cannot Happen

The native process does not restore a retired plan. Recognized is excluded from the voiding update; that exclusion is not proof that unposting the originating collection is always refused.

Concurrency and Timing

The unresolved policy concerns already recognised revenue when source accounting is removed. The current implementation can preserve fiscal recognition while retiring or reversing the source generation, and the design does not invent compensation.
