First recognition month determines the start of the reviewed monthly plan. The form limits it based on the selected source's available-from date. Number of months accepts whole values from 1 to 120 for the supported schedule.
Choose the dates that match the reviewed accounting assumptions, then inspect every period in Exact monthly preview. The model uses full calendar months, so the source document's exact day does not create automatic daily proration.
If a source became available after a later-period reversal, respect the displayed availability when planning replacement recognition. Do not move a replacement back into an earlier month merely to reproduce the old schedule. The reversal's accounting date can affect the earliest supported replacement period.
Record the date rationale with the source and supporting records before creating the plan. After saving, distinguish due unposted months from future months and locked periods in the schedule detail. A valid calendar establishes planned dates; actual recognition still depends on preparing and posting each supported journal through current permissions.
