General Ledger Deferred Income Deferred Income Recognition Process
Deferred Income Recognition Process
The Deferred Income Recognition Process may take some time to run if your company generates many thousands of Cycle Invoices each month. This process may be run at any time of day, however, once this process is launched, Users should not be crediting off Cycle Invoices or posting any new Cycle Invoices while the process is running.
To run the Deferred Income Recognition Process, follow the instructions below.

process, close all software applications other than SedonaOffice on
the workstation running the process. This program requires a
great deal of memory and you do not want other applications to
interfere with the processing of data while it is posting to the
general ledger.
