Deferred Revenue Management in Odoo v12

Functional Odoo 12

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is an advance payment received by a company. It is not yet revenues so cannot be reported on the income statement. In other words, deferred revenue is a payment in advance recorded on the receipt's balance sheet as a liability account until either the services have been rendered or the products have been delivered.

For example, if you want to sell a 1-year service contract for Rs 48,000 that begins next month and is of a duration consisting 12 months period. Once you validate the invoice, Rs 48,000 should be posted into a deferred revenue account, because the amount is what you received, and not yet been earned. And, over the next 12 months, you will be reducing the deferred revenues account by 4,000 rupees (48,000/12) on a monthly basis and recognizing the amount as revenue. 
Now let’s see the Deferred Revenue Management in Odoo v12.

To configure the deferred revenues, go to the Settings menu under the module Accounting,
Accounting -> Configuration -> Settings -> Automated Entries, then enable the option Deferred Revenues management.
