Event-Based Revenue Recognition - Project-Based Services (1IL)

S/4HANA Cloud Professional Services Scope Items

Event-based Revenue Recognition calculates and posts real-time revenue and cost adjustment for professional services for fixed price, time and material, and periodic service type projects.

Processes that do not write a prima nota do not result in any real-time revenue recognition postings (for example, changes of plan data do not directly result in revenue recognition postings). If necessary, period-end closing postings (periodic revenue recognition) correct the event-based postings. This scope item covers best guess reporting, as figures are only correct after period-end closing.

Key Process Steps Covered

Monitor event-based revenue recognition for projects
Manage real-time revenue recognition Issues
Run revenue recognition for projects in period-end closing
Manage revenue recognition issues for projects
