    2️⃣- 🔄 Updated Deferred Revenue Logic: Smarter Tracking

    We’ve overhauled how deferred revenue is calculated to make it more accurate and intuitive.

    🤩 What’s New?

    • Line-Item Tracking: Each appliance, installation fee, and protection plan is now tracked as Deferred Revenue until delivery.

    • Non-Line-Item Revenue: Fees like delivery charges are deferred until the last item in the order is delivered.

    • Partial Deliveries: Revenue is recognized only for delivered items, ensuring precise tracking.

    Example:

    • Order: Two appliances ($5,000 each), protection plans ($200 each), installation ($300 each), and a $150 delivery fee.

      • Deferred Revenue: $11,150.

      • Appliance A delivered: Recognize $5,500.

      • Appliance B delivered: Recognize $5,500 and the $150 delivery fee.
