Use the app when one purchase, sales, or general journal line must be distributed over a defined accrual period. The source line remains part of the standard Business Central process; the app supplies the dates, template defaults, schedule calculation, and posting-period behavior.
Before You Start
Set up the standard deferral template and accounts.
Decide whether the schedule should use actual days, equal 30-day periods, or the linear calculation.
Check the allowed posting and deferral periods in General Ledger Setup if backdated behavior is used.
Main Process
Open a purchase document, sales document, or general journal and enter the line amount and posting information.
Enter the Deferral Starting Date and Deferral Ending Date. If the deferral code is empty, a matching purchase or sales default can be proposed automatically.
Review the deferral code and the generated schedule. The schedule is rebuilt when relevant dates, amounts, or deferral information change.
Post the document or journal. Before posting, the app checks that the dates are complete, the start date is not after the end date, and the template period count is compatible unless period checking is disabled.
Review the resulting deferral lines and ledger entries using the standard Business Central pages.

This is illustrated below using a line in the financial accounting sheet. These functions are also available in identical form in the following areas...
Usage, Posting behaviour When posting sales, purchase, or general journal documents, the system automatically processes the entered deferral information...
