Quick Start Guide
Once you create an account with REVLOCK and you verify your account you can login and are ready to get started.
Note that when you login to REVLOCK you get a test and a production environment. We recommend you setup a sample data set in the test environment first and once you get comfortable move to production.
There are a few items that you will need during the set-up process:
The Price Book – The price book includes all of the products and services that you offer and the “list price” for each item.
Stand-Alone Selling Price Rules – To comply with ASC 606 revenue recognition standards, companies need to define their Stand-Alone Selling Price Rules.
These rules include two items
Stand-Alone Selling Price –The price that a product would be sold for on a stand-alone basis. This Stand-Alone Selling Price is determined by the company’s management and should be reviewed by your outside auditors (if applicable).
Revenue Recognition Policy – Under ASC 606, revenue is earned as performance obligations are satisfied. The identification of performance obligations and the revenue recognition policy are determined by management and should be reviewed by your outside auditors (if applicable).
The Stand-Alone Selling Price Rules are configured in REVLOCK’s Stand-Alone Selling Price Library™. This information is applied to each line item of each contract to properly recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606.
Sales Orders – The sales order includes all of the information related to the contract with the customer. This may include multiple products and/or services.
Billing Schedule – Agreed upon invoicing terms, critical to calculating Deferred Revenues (Liability).
