Revenue Cut Shipping Invoice Date Vouching Steps
Identify revenue-cut transactions missing shipping or invoice dates, failing the cutoff-period test, or invoiced after shipment.
Description
Revenue-cutoff vouching uses evidence about shipment, invoice and period placement.
Revenue-cutoff vouching uses evidence about shipment, invoice and period placement. This implementation screens already-coded facts.1
The returned values include Transaction issues, Issue row indices, Transactions tested. The How section below explains the calculation, input rules and interpretation.
When to use Revenue Cut Shipping Invoice Date Vouching Steps
Use Revenue Cut Shipping Invoice Date Vouching Steps when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No actual date comparison, contract delivery term or revenue recognition is assessed. The invoice-timing rule is the committed screen, not a universal recognition rule.
Prepare source-backed observations and the applicable engagement policy before entering facts. Use consistent monetary units and periods. Supply all boolean evidence flags explicitly, and treat a successful screen as a reason to continue professional review.
How to use Revenue Cut Shipping Invoice Date Vouching Steps and understand its results
- Prepare source-backed observations and the applicable engagement policy before entering facts. Use consistent monetary units and periods. Supply all boolean evidence flags explicitly, and treat a successful screen as a reason to continue professional review.
- Enter transactions using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read issueCount, issueIndices, testedCount. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| transactions | Rows ordered as shipping date present, invoice date present, cutoff period matched, and invoice after shipping flags. | list of list of number | Required |
Supply rows of exactly four binary flags in the order above, possibly empty. Return zero-based issue indexes/count and tested count. A later invoice is flagged even when other evidence is present.
issue=shippingFlag0 OR invoiceFlag0 OR cutoffFlag0 OR invoiceAfterShippingFlag1 Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| issueCount | Transaction issues | integer; minimum: 0 |
| issueIndices | Issue row indices | list of number |
| testedCount | Transactions tested | integer; minimum: 0 |

} Limitations and assumptions
No actual date comparison, contract delivery term or revenue recognition is assessed. The invoice-timing rule is the committed screen, not a universal recognition rule.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Core numeric and string lists are limited to 100,000 entries; text entries are subject to the general large-text limit. Follow any smaller calculation limits above. Matrices are limited to 128 rows and 128 entries per row. Missing fields without a declared default, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Revenue Cutoff Shipping Terms FOB Checker: Revenue cutoff follows an explicitly established control-transfer event. FOB wording alone cannot determine that event or satisfy all recognition criteria. For a complementary task, use Subsequent Disbursement Postdated Check Review Window: A subsequent-payment review window has both a day-offset allowance and an explicit end date. A payment must fit both constraints.
