VSOE with Foreign Currency Revenue Commitment Example
The functions discussed in this topic require the Revenue Commitments feature to be enabled.
This example illustrates the revenue commitments process as of Version 2012 Release 2.
In this scenario, you have a sales order transacted in foreign currency. The lines of the order have different revenue recognition schedules, and vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) applies. The transaction currency is GBP and the base currency is USD.
The sales order has the following item details:
|
Sales Order |
Price |
VSOE |
Allocation |
Recognition Schedule |
Deferred Revenue Account |
Revenue Account |

The revenue commitment for the full sales order amount is created on January 10 and the exchange is 1.5 USD/GBP.
The order is billed in arrears based on milestones and billing generates 3 invoices.
All amounts shown are accumulated amounts as of that period. The rate of billing compared to rate of revenue recognition is calculated for the order total, not separately for each line item. Foreign currency translation amounts are rounded.
The following tables show how the amounts are calculated for the foreign currency revenue adjustment, and amounts for deferred revenue, revenue and unbilled receivables. They also show the GL impact for each month when revenue reclassification is run.
For each month, the FX adjustment amount is the amount required to adjust the previous month's FX adjustment to the current gain/loss amount.
This table shows how the amounts posted to the deferred revenue, revenue, and unbilled receivable accounts are determined. At the end of April the sales order is fully billed and recognized. The combined balance for the deferred revenue accounts and the balance for the unbilled receivable account for the order are 0, and $380 has been posted to the revenue accounts.
