Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

The accounting rule for when revenue counts as earned. For prepaid subscriptions, revenue is recognized as each delivery ships, not when the cash arrives.

Example

A customer prepays $120 for 12 monthly deliveries. The brand recognizes $10 of revenue each month as each order ships.
