SO accounting entries

Two examples are provided to explain SO accounting behaviors.

Example 1 - Right to Bill flag set to N

In this example, the initial SO line of $100 is uploaded to Zuora Revenue. The release event is Upon Booking. The impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Impact Balance
Account type Dr Cr Account type Dr Cr
Contract Liability 100   Contract Liability 100  
Revenue   100 Revenue   100

Later, the SO line with the same SO line ID is uploaded to increase the SO value to $180. The impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Impact Balance
Account type Dr Cr Account type Dr Cr
Contract Liability 80   Contract Liability 180  
Revenue   80 Revenue   180

After that, the SO value is decreased to $150 in another upload. The impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Impact Balance

Example 2 - Right to Bill flag set to Y

In this example, the initial SO of $100 is uploaded to Zuora Revenue. The release event is Upon Booking and the Right_to_Bill flag is set to Y. No invoice is received. The Unbilled account will be impacted. After the initial upload, the impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Impact Balance
