Use this page to enter the revenue allocation parameters for a billing schedule. The revenue allocation can be set up and edited only at the time the billing schedule is created. When viewing this page for an active or terminated billing schedule, all values are read-only.

Specify Revenue Allocation

To specify the revenue allocation for a billing schedule, follow these steps: 

  1. Select a billing schedule or a billing schedule line: 
  2. Select Revenue allocation.
  3. Select the MEA type.
  4. Specify the MEA number and the Deferred contract revenue account.
    • If the MEA type is Single, the same MEA number and Deferred contract revenue account applies to each line.
    • If the MEA type is Multiple, you can apply a different MEA number and Deferred contract revenue account to each line.

    The MEA number can only be assigned to two or more items. In other words, a single line cannot have its own MEA number

  5. Select Save.
