Recognition schedules use equal full calendar months. Any remainder currency units go to the earliest months so the exact monthly amounts add back to the planned total. The workflow does not prorate by day, calculate taxes or post automatically.
Enter the reviewed total and number of months, then inspect Exact monthly preview. Small differences between early and later months can reflect the supported currency-unit allocation rather than an error. Use the displayed exact values when comparing the plan with later journal drafts.
If the underlying agreement needs a daily or irregular recognition pattern, do not assume this full-month plan represents it correctly. Have the responsible reviewer determine an appropriate supported accounting process before creating the schedule.
Keep the accounting assumptions explicit in the plan's supporting-records field. After saving, review each due month and its source-linked draft before posting. A mathematically complete schedule still needs the right source and timing, and an unposted planned month should not be reported as recognized expense or revenue.
