Overview of long-term and short-term reclassification

Long-term and short-term reclassification (LT/ST Reclass) to reclassify recognized revenue between contract liability accounts, providing clarity on an organization's revenue position

In Zuora Revenue, when revenue is recognized for the Contract Liability account, there is a provision to reclassify the revenue to both the long-term and short-term accounts. This provisioning process is referred to as long-term and short-term reclassification (LT/ST Reclass) in Zuora Revenue. The main purpose of performing LT/ST reclassification is to reclassify the revenue to be recognized in both long term and short term to understand the revenue position of your organization.

Configuration overview

The LT/ST reclassification functionality in Zuora Revenue is driven by profiles and primarily works based on the specified profile values. Navigate to Setups > Application > Profiles and use the following profiles to configure the LT/ST reclassification functionality:

  • LT_ACCT_MONTHS Use this profile to specify the number of months that are to be considered for the LT/ST reclassification process. For example, if this profile is set to 12, 12 months after the current open period will be considered as long-term periods. If the current open period is January 2019, the long-term periods will start from February 2020 until the revenue end date.

  • LT/ST_PROCESS_FOR_RC_CA_STATUS Use this profile to specify whether the revenue contract in CA position should participate in the LT/ST reclassification process. If this profile is set to Yes, LT/ST schedules can be booked for the revenue contract in CA position. Otherwise, the revenue contract in CA position will not participate in the LT/ST reclassification process.

In addition to profile configuration, for the LT/ST reclassification functionality to work, the following configurations are required in the system:

The LTST Enabled radio button must be configured to No if you do not wish to use the LT/ST process. From 37.014.00.00 release onwards, the system will automatically calculate the LT/ST if this radio button is enabled.
