Use this reference to configure an SSP List with confidence. It defines every field on the Create/Edit Standalone Selling Price ("SSP") List screen, from the General Information section to the Entries table's allocation and revenue recognition settings.
The General Information section is used to name your price list, add a description, and set it to active. You also set Residual Allocation for Multiple Performance Obligations, which determines how residual revenue is split when more than one item is configured to receive it: Transaction Sale Price, Transaction List Price, or Transaction Amount After Carve Outs. To learn more about how residual amounts are allocated across performance obligations, see Contract Residual Amount.
Item entries determine the allocation methodology applied within a contract. Each entry has seven columns used to set the allocation methodology and revenue recognition schedule after allocations have been performed. Refer to the table below for more detail on each.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Items | Select the items you would like to use in a specific SSP calculation. You can apply an allocation methodology or formula to one or multiple items. |
| Carve Outs | When an item is not listed as a transaction in a contract (explicit POB), but you would like to allocate revenue to a non-listed item (implicit POB), use the carve out functionality. A carve out allows you to create one, or multiple items from a single item in a contract and allocate a portion of the contract value to each item as specified. Carve outs can be configured in three ways:
|
| Allocate Revenue By | How revenue will be allocated to the item(s). There are three ways you can allocate revenue to items in a given contract:
|
| SSP | The designated standalone selling price(s) of a given item(s). To learn how SSP amounts affect allocation, see Standalone Selling Price ("SSP"). |
| SSP Formula | The formula used when allocating revenue. To learn how SSP formulas affect allocation, see Standalone Selling Price ("SSP"). |
| Revenue Recognition Method | How revenue will be spread over the time period. The recognition method specifies when revenue should be recognized. When an item is first selected, the method is set to inherit the default revenue recognition template from your item settings. If multiple items are selected, the default method will be set to the item listed first. The method selected will be used when calculating the method in your SSP list. |
| Duration | How long the time period will be. The duration field determines the time period revenue will be recognized. The duration field defaults to the transaction end date. It can be changed to any of the available fields in the picklist. The duration selected will be used when calculating the duration of revenue recognition. |
To create or edit an SSP List using these fields, see Create and Manage SSP Lists.
