How to Create Revenue Schedules for Existing Transactions
You can use the Mass Updater or REST API to create revenue schedules that link to existing Invoice Items or Invoice Item Adjustments.
For the Mass Updater, use the Create Revenue Schedules mass action.
For REST API, use the following methods:
- Create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item (distribute by date range)
- Create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item (manual distribution)
- Create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item Adjustment (distribute by date range)
- Create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item Adjustment (manual distribution)
Revenue Schedule Properties Inherited from the Transaction
When you create a revenue schedule linking to an existing transaction, the revenue schedule inherits the following properties from the transaction. You cannot change these properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Revenue Schedule Date | The Revenue Schedule Date is inherited from the Transaction Date. For example, if you create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item, and the Invoice Item belongs to an invoice with an Invoice Date of 1/1/2016, then the revenue schedule will have a Revenue Schedule Date of 1/1/2016. |
| Revenue Schedule Amount | The Revenue Schedule Amount is inherited from the Transaction Amount. For example, if you create a revenue schedule for an Invoice Item with a Charge Amount of $10, the Revenue Schedule Amount will be $10. |
| Accounting Codes | The accounting codes used by the revenue schedule are inherited from the accounting codes of the transaction. |
