Accounting for Event Revenue

Expenditure items are not the only source from which you earn revenue. You create events to write-on bonus revenue, or write-off uncollectible revenue. When you run the PRC: Generate Draft Revenue process, Oracle Projects credits a revenue account for event types with the Write-On, Manual or Automatic classifications, or debits an expense account for event types with the Write-Off classification. Although there are other event type classifications, they do not affect revenue.

Event Revenue Account Function

Depending upon the classification of an event type, Oracle Projects uses the Event Revenue Account transactions to calculate revenue credits for write-ons, or expense debits for write-offs.

The Event Revenue Account function consists of the following transactions:

Fremont Corporation posts both write-offs and bonus revenue to the project-managing organization.
Fremont uses one expense account to record write-offs and one revenue account to record write-ons:
· Write-Offs (5500)
· Bonus Revenue (4500)
To implement the Event Revenue Account function, Fremont defines two rules:
· One rule to supply the Write-Offs account code for the Account segment of its Accounting Flexfield
· One rule to supply the Bonus Revenue account code for the Account segment of its Accounting Flexfield
Fremont uses existing rules to supply values for the Company and Cost Center segments of its Accounting Flexfield.
