Every Upmind contract product’s service period requires an invoice, even if the amount is 0, to ensure proper revenue recognition and acknowledge the service provided. ## Configuring global revenue recognition 1. Go to Settings > Order Options under Ecommerce Settings. Settings > Order options 2. Scroll to `Misc` and find **Account Revenue Recognition**. 3. Choose Recognition Method: * **Over Billing Cycle**: Revenue is recognised gradually over the billing or subscription period. * **Immediately**: Revenue is recognised in full as soon as the product is delivered or the service is provided, regardless of the billing cycle. Account revenue recognition The selection of a revenue recognition method may vary. Businesses evaluate whether revenue should be recognised at a point in time or over a period, based on factors like delivery of goods, transfer of control, or the fulfilment of performance obligations. Contract terms, including payment schedules, milestones, and service durations, influence the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Compliance with relevant accounting frameworks ensures that revenue is recorded accurately and consistently, reflecting the economic reality of transactions while meeting regulatory requirements. This approach aligns revenue recognition with the delivery of value to customers and supports transparent financial reporting. 4. Enable Hide 0 Invoices for clients.
