Deferred Revenue

Production / Stable LGPL-3 Odoo 19.0 Accounting

Manage deferred revenue (unearned income) and automate recognition in Odoo Accounting. When your company receives payment before delivering a service — subscriptions, prepaid contracts, advance rent — this module spreads the income recognition over the earned period automatically, ensuring your financials stay accurate and IFRS/GAAP compliant.

Key Features

Reusable Templates

Save your journal, deferred revenue account, and recognition account as a template — apply to new records in one click.

Pro-Rata Schedule Generation

Confirm a record and recognition lines are created automatically, with precise day-count proration for partial first and last months.

Daily Cron Automation

A scheduled action runs every day, finds all pending lines whose date has arrived, and posts the journal entries without any manual step.

Invoice Linking

Link a deferred revenue record directly to the originating customer invoice line for full end-to-end traceability.

Real-Time Progress

Recognised Amount and Remaining Amount are always up to date — computed live from posted journal entries.

Manual Override

Need to post a line ahead of schedule? Post any recognition line manually at any time without disrupting the rest of the schedule.

Chatter & Audit Trail

Every state change and automated posting is logged in the chatter with full timestamp and user attribution.

Arabic Localisation

Ships with a complete Arabic (ar_001) translation for Arabic-speaking teams.

How It Works

Create a Template (optional) — go to Accounting → Deferred Revenue → Templates and define your default journal and accounts.

Create a Deferred Revenue record — enter the total amount, start date, end date, and optionally link it to a customer invoice line.

Apply a Template or configure accounts manually — choose the general ledger journal, deferred revenue (liability) account, and recognition (revenue) account.

Confirm — monthly recognition lines are generated automatically with pro-rata amounts. Rounding is absorbed on the final line so totals always match exactly.

Sit back — the daily cron posts each line when its date arrives. You can also post lines manually at any time.

Close — once all revenue is recognised, mark the record as Closed.
