How to implement and automate ASC 606 revenue recognition

Revenue Rules

Standalone Selling Price (SSP) Library

Chargebee RevRec has a built-in engine that drives revenue allocation for bundled transactions. The SSP library integrates with your price book in order for you to assign SSP for every performance obligation, with the flexibility to handle different variations of SSP.

Transaction-based Workflow

Chargebee RevRec is a transaction-based revenue accounting system and provides either transaction or summary-level information t and journal entries for back-end ERP or accounting systems. With RevRec, you can automate:

  • Identification of distinct performance obligations
  • Determination of transaction price
  • Assignment of SSP to performance obligations
  • Re-allocation of revenue based on the relative selling price
  • Recognition of revenue based on satisfaction of performance obligations
  • Capitalization and amortization of direct contract costs
  • Generation of monthly journal entries and reports supporting revenue, deferred revenue, unbilled receivables, and direct contract costs

Revenue Recognition Rules

Chargebee RevRec automates revenue recognition according to the revenue recognition rules outlined in your accounting policy. It easily configures revenue rules for each product and service included in your revenue transactions.
