Example 2 - SO release upon booking (overage invoice)

This example demonstrates the accounting impact and balance when an initial SO line of $100 is uploaded to Zuora Revenue with a release event upon booking, and later increased to $180.

In this example, the initial SO line of $100 is uploaded to Zuora Revenue. The release event is Upon Booking. The impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Later, the SO line with the same SO line ID is uploaded to increase the SO value to $180. The impact and balance of the accounting entries will be as follows:

Then, an invoice line of $200 is collected, which is associated with the original SO line. A one-sided initial entry is created for $200 in Zuora Revenue.

The reclass entries are created by Zuora Revenue as follows. The first two lines are to reverse the journal entries created for the SO line. The other two lines are to recognize the invoice amount.

Then, a CM-C line is collected in Zuora Revenue, which is associated with the previous invoice. The EXT_SLL_PRC value of this CM-C line is -$100 so it reduces the invoice amount by $100. The initial entry created for the CM-C line is as follows:
