Deferral Balance Batch Processing

Advanced Revenue & Expense Deferrals > Periodic tasks > Deferral balance batch processing

Use this page to set up a batch processing job to generate a report where you can review the balance of the deferral account for one or more deferral for a specified date. This information can be used to reconcile the balance from the General Ledger to the deferral schedules.

The report shows all balances of the deferral account as of the date on which the batch job is run. Only the data for the most recent batch job that was run is saved in the system.

Use the Deferral Balance to review a screen version of the report in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.
