Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for establishing a revenue arrangement mechanism for creating and handling revenue arrangements designed to allocate revenue according to accounting rules and procedures for managing revenue. These aspects of a revenue arrangement enable a business to more flexibly and accurately manage and recognize revenue in a manner that complies with applicable accounting regulations and rules. In some embodiments, the methods and systems may be implemented as part of a business data processing platform that is used in conjunction with ERP, eCommerce, and/or CRM data as part of a multi-tenant system for providing order management and order processing services to one or more businesses. Such a platform may also be responsible for accessing and processing revenue, profit, inventory, sales, and other data in order to generate financial metrics that characterize the business(es) and their operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transitioning to a multi-book accounting system involving first and second accounting books, processing real-time transactions received through a network by applying a first set of accounting rules corresponding to the first accounting book to the real-time transactions to produce the first accounting book, and applying a second set of accounting rules corresponding to the second accounting book to the real-time transaction to produce the second accounting book, where the second set of accounting rules differs from the first set of accounting rules. The first and second rules may correspond to first and second sets of attributes such that every transaction includes necessary attributes for causing data to be stored in attribute appropriate books.

Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for multi-book accounting involving first and second accounting books, processing real-time transactions received through a network by applying a first set of accounting rules corresponding to the first accounting book to the real-time transactions to produce the first accounting book, and applying a second set of accounting rules corresponding to the second accounting book to the real-time transaction to produce the second accounting book, where the second set of accounting rules differs from the first set of accounting rules. A user interface provides real-time access to the first and second accounting books. A user may define the second set of accounting rules and book specific attributes in the general ledger to produce the second accounting book.
