Deferral Accounting Rules are used to report earnings/costs which should be assigned to a later Accounting Period. For example, you decide to bill a Media Campaign in advance of the actual run time. In this situation, you receive income in an accounting period, that should be assigned to a later one. Deferral rules establish where this cost/revenue should be reported and can be used to create the necessary Accounting Records accordingly.

There are two different type of collection rules

Deferral - Cost

Deferral - Revenue

Set up your Deferral Rule

• Select the correct rule type
• Give your rule a name
• Enter the Account Number, Cost Center, Internal Order, etc which you like to assign this cost/revenue to
• Optionally enter a validity period
• If this is related to Third Party, enter a TPC Account
