Recognition Management Page

This is your home page for managing revenue and cost recognition through Analytics. For visualizing the grid and recognizing revenue, the revenue manager needs the Analytics View License.

This page gives you:

  • A consolidated view of scheduled, recognized, and remaining revenue and cost with progress metrics.
  • The center for monitoring and analyzing revenue and cost schedules.
  • A comprehensive, filtered view of all revenue schedule lines.

To manage data for efficient targeted analysis, you can apply filters at the top of the grid to narrow the focus to the following:

  • Companies
  • Scheduled periods
  • Currencies
  • Accounts
  • Recognition sources
  • Source records
  • Status

You can add additional filters, add columns, change column order, and customize the grid according to your recognition needs with an Analytics Full user license.
