User-Defined Revenue Setup Overview

Revenue methods are used to calculate revenue when you run Revenue Generation. Vision includes standard revenue methods. You can also set up new revenue methods.

If you select the Enable option to update BTD for journal entries to revenue option on the General tab of Accounting System Settings, users system-wide can make journal entries which also increase the job-to-date billed amount used by Revenue Generation in calculating project revenue.

Your company might select this billed-to-date option if both of the following apply:

  • You have projects using Revenue Method B, W, or any user-defined method that includes JTD Billings in its formula.

  • You are adjusting the project's revenue by posting a journal entry that references that project and a revenue account, for example, when recording miscellaneous revenue.
