Read a schedule's unrecognized amount correctly

Distinguish the plan remainder from the live balance of its ledger account.

Updated 2026-11-11

Recognition schedule details show Planned, Posted recognition and Unrecognized. Only this schedule's unreversed posted journals reduce its unrecognized amount. The screen explicitly states that this value is not a live ledger-account balance.

Use the schedule's journal links to explain which months have posted and which remain. A prepared draft, submitted request or future period is not equivalent to an unreversed posted recognition journal. Review any reversal history when a previously recognized amount becomes available again.

If the prepaid or deferred ledger account has a different balance, inspect the account's other sources and posted activity. Multiple plans or entries outside this schedule can affect the account without belonging to this plan's remainder.

Do not adjust the schedule merely to make it equal the whole account balance. Identify the specific source and dated activity behind the difference. Keep the schedule name, planned total and source reference with your explanation so another reviewer can distinguish a plan-progress question from a broader account-reconciliation question.
