System and method for a revenue allocation engine for use with subscription economy

摘要

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for the recognition and allocation of revenue generated by a subscription based pricing model or plan that is applied to a product or service. Embodiments respond to customer needs for a flexible and powerful revenue allocation engine to permit correct revenue distribution within a subscription economy and effectively trace changes to a revenue schedule and the resulting revenue recognition. Embodiments can efficiently react to changes to a subscription agreement and calculate a new distribution for a revenue schedule and its impact on revenue recognition and future revenue projections. In one embodiment, the systems and methods includes a revenue recognition/allocation engine that operates to evaluate the impact of “charge events” on revenue generation, taking into account relevant business rules and revenue recognition principles.
