PORD accounting entries

Two examples are provided to explain the PORD accounting behaviors.

Example 1 - Price down

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

Then, an invoice line of $180 is collected, which is associated with the SO line. A one-sided initial entry is created for this invoice line as follows:

Impact Balance
Account type Dr Cr Account type Dr Cr Initial Entry Flag
Contract Liability   180 Contract Liability   180 Y

The reclass entries are created by Zuora Revenue as follows. The first two lines are to reverse the journal entries created for the SO line. The other two lines are to recognize the invoice amount.

Contract Liability   180 SO reverse

Later, a PORD line is collected, which is associated with the original SO line. The EXT_SLL_PRC value of the PORD line is -$50 to decrease the SO value by $50. The impact and balance of the accounting entries are as follows for the billed revenue:

Impact Balance

After the PORD line, a CM-RO line of $50 is collected.  The impact and balance of the initial entry is as follows:
