## Deferred revenue automation

Briefcase has launched deferred revenue automation for Xero and QuickBooks clients, building on existing prepayments functionality to streamline financial close workflows.

## How It Works

1.  Upload sales invoices via existing channels (web upload, WhatsApp, or email forwarding). For current clients, sales invoice processing must be enabled; new clients have this enabled automatically.
2.  Automatic Detection — The deferred revenue AI agent reviews uploaded invoices and identifies eligible deferred revenue scenarios.
3.  Review and Publish — Users examine the proposed revenue recognition schedule. Once published, Briefcase posts recurring journal entries at each period end.
4.  Maintain Control — Users can reverse journals, adjust amounts, or archive schedules at any time.

## Tracking & Reconciliation

All active schedules appear in a dedicated tracker where users can compare Briefcase's calculated remaining balance against actual deferred revenue liability balances in their accounting system.
