How to activate spread revenue in the booking screen

When the spread revenue setting is enabled in the company settings, the option to use spread revenue will be visible in the booking screen. When you click on the checkbox πŸ—Ή to select the spread revenue, an additional line will appear. Here you can indicate the start date (from) and end date (to) on which you want to spread the revenue.

πŸ“Œ It is only possible to spread revenue to a maximum of three years;
previous year, current year and a future year.

After the invoice is booked with spread revenue, the accounting system will automatically divide the revenue over the periods selected in the booking screen.

If you save this as a posting rule, the spread revenue is also saved and the fields From and To will appear again next time the supplier is selected. However, you need to manually select the dates before booking it.
