Revenue Accrual
Accrue part or all revenue for one or more Estimate(s) or Client invoice(s)
Revenue accrual is the practice of recording and recognizing revenue in financial statements before it is received, matching it with the period it is earned.
Create accrued revenue
There are multiple options to create Accrued Revenue transactions within Accountability. To create an Accrued Revenue transaction, navigate to Accounting>Revenue Tools>Accrued Revenue and click Create a New Accrued Revenue.
The Accrued Revenue Wizard walks you through creating an accrued revenue transaction with one of the following methods:
Add Estimate
This method allows you to accrue a portion of or the entire revenue for a single Estimate. You need to specify the job number when using this method.
For detailed steps, see How to create an accrued revenue via estimate.
Add Multiple Estimates
This method allows you to create multiple accrued revenue transactions for a list of estimates at one time.
For detailed steps, see How to create an accrued revenue for multiple estimates
Add Invoice
This method allows you to accrue a portion of or the entire revenue for a client job invoice that you have generated. You need to specify the job number when using this method. A list of approved invoices will appear on the list for accrual.
For detailed steps, see How to create an accrued revenue via invoice
Add Batch
This method gives you control of the amount of revenue to accrue for multiple jobs and task types at a time.

Automate Revenue Recognition Workflow
Accountability allows for automated revenue recognition through one of 2 methods:
- Based on actual time
- Based on the revenue tracker schedule
The system calculates the balance to accrue or defer based on the selected method and will create the transactions for the jobs you have selected. To learn more, see Revenue Recognition Function and Revenue Recognition based on Revenue Tracker
