Enhancements to Merge Revenue Arrangements

Retrospective merges of revenue elements with different effective start dates are no longer supported. All revenue elements included in a retrospective merge must have the same effective start dates. The effective start dates can either be empty or have a value, but they must be consistent across elements. If the elements have different effective start dates, an error message appears when you attempt to preview or merge the arrangements.

Additionally, retrospectively merged revenue arrangements can no longer be reverted. You can only revert a change order if the revenue arrangement was created from a prospective merge. Previously, it was possible to revert retrospectively merged arrangements using a URL.

For more information about retrospective merges and reverting change orders, see Combined Revenue Arrangements and Prospective Merges.

New Target Fields for Revenue Recognition Field Maps

New standard transaction line fields in the revenue arrangement are now available as target fields when creating revenue recognition field maps. This enhancement increases the number of revenue recognition field maps you can create.

Some of the new target fields are available only if the Advanced Revenue Management (Revenue Allocation) feature is enabled. The revenue recognition field mapping functionality is available only if the Advanced Revenue Management (Essentials) feature is enabled. For more information about this feature, see Mapping Revenue Recognition Fields.
