CM-C line collected after RORD

A scenario that explains RORD and CM-RO accounting entries

In this scenario, a CM-C line is collected after the RORD line has reduced revenue and created Contra AR entries. When CM-C line joins, Zuora Revenue will perform unbilled to billed conversion for Contract Liability and reverse the Contra AR entries.

The current open period is Jan-2020. Both the SO line and the invoice line are collected in Zuora Revenue in January 2020. The POB ratable method is Immediate using current open period.
