Deferred revenue account in Invoice-GL impact

When the Advanced Revenue Management feature is enabled, revenue for all items is deferred until revenue recognition journal entries are created. Item records use the system–generated deferred revenue account and the Default Standard revenue recognition rule by default.

Normal Gl impact of invoice:

COGS A/C DR to Income from sales A/c

When Advanced Revenue Management feature is enabled:

COGS A/C Dr to Deferred revenue A/c
