Revenue recognition: Negative Net Revenue Not Populating Sales Accruals

In the Revenue Recognition (GESREVRECV function), for a revenue recognition code using the method “Percentage of costs without estimated margin at completion” (code AVCTFI in a recent SEED folder), when the Adjusted Net Recognized Revenue is negative, the amount is correctly calculated but the “Sales accruals” column is not populated, despite a valid standard formula being defined for this column in the Revenue recognition rules (GESREVREC) function. With the same configuration and standard formulas, the “Invoices to be issued” column is correctly populated when the net amount is positive. All formulas involved are standard and unchanged. This behavior worked as expected in releases (2024R2 (12.0.36), indicating a regression in the current and previous release.

Negative revenue (and cost) adjustments are not reflected in accrual columns, resulting in missing revenue/cost adjustments.

This leads to incorrect revenue recognition results, impacting period closing and accrual accounting.

Frequency:

Always, when Adjusted Net Recognized Revenue < 0 (and similarly for Net Recognized Cost < 0).

The correction will be included in a future standard release (currently estimated for 2026 R1, P39).

 

Available workaround:

Manually update the formula in GESREVREC :
For Sales accruals:

 For Cost accruals :
