How to change the deferred revenue account for deferred revenue journals

How to change the default deferred revenue account used by the deferred revenue journal, in Revenue Journal Settings.

The deferred revenue journal posts to the default deferred revenue account set in Revenue Journal Settings. To change it:

  1. Go to the Journals tab. On Month-End Close, click Open on Deferred Revenue Journal under Revenue.
  2. Click the three dots at the top right and select Revenue Journal Settings.
  3. Under Balance Sheet Account Settings, select the new deferred revenue account.
  4. Click Save.

Then map your deferred revenue account to its revenue accounts - we recommend this even if you use a single deferred revenue account. See Deferred revenue 1: Map and filter your accounts. If the field is locked, contact [email protected].

For every setting, see Revenue setup 3: Choose your journal settings.
