Revenue accounting teams maintaining the recognition schedule by hand for 200+ active contracts. Multi-element allocation rebuilt quarterly in a giant Excel workbook. Billing teams triggering invoices late because the revenue schedule lives somewhere else. Errors found at audit. The revenue waterfall in the board pack is four days stale by Day 7 close.
Revenue Recognition Agent reads every contract (or syncs directly from Contract Agent), generates the ASC 606 / IFRS 15-compliant schedule per the 5-step model, allocates the transaction price across multi-element arrangements at standalone selling price, posts deferred and recognized JEs automatically, triggers billing milestones on contract events, and reconciles billed-to-recognized at close. The 5-step model becomes 5-second model.
