## Description

Handling revenue recognition is one of the most tedious parts of financial reporting. It usually involves digging through long contracts, figuring out which parts of a deal are separate obligations, and then doing a mountain of math to figure out how much money actually belongs in this month's books versus next year's. This Connector takes that weight off your plate by giving your AI agent a dedicated engine for ASC 606 and IFRS 15 standards. Instead of you manually calculating percentages and allocating costs in a spreadsheet, you can let your agent handle the heavy lifting. You can ask it to break down a complex software and service agreement into its core components or tell it to figure out the price distribution for a multi-year deal. It's built to handle the specific logic of relative standalone selling prices, ensuring your numbers stay compliant with standard accounting practices. By connecting this to the Vinkius catalog, you move from manual data entry to high-level oversight. You no longer have to worry about the minutiae of multi-element arrangements or the headache of tracking completion percentages across a massive portfolio of clients. Your agent handles the math, and you get to focus on the actual strategy of the business and the health of your bottom line.

## Tools

### allocate_transaction_price
Distribute the total price across different obligations based on standalone selling prices. It ensures your revenue distribution follows standard accounting rules.

### calculate_revenue_recognition
Determine how much revenue is earned today versus how much stays on the books as deferred. It uses completion progress to give you accurate monthly figures.

### identify_performance_obligations
Analyze contract items to find distinct performance obligations. This helps you separate software licenses from ongoing support services.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a contract for $100,000 that includes a software license and 2 years of premium support. Can you identify the obligations and split the price if the license usually sells for $80,000?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the contract details, here is the breakdown:

| Component | Obligation Type | Standalone Selling Price | Allocated Price |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Software License** | Distinct Obligation | $80,000 | **$80,000** |
| **Premium Support** | Distinct Obligation | $20,000 | **$20,000** |

The total price of $100,000 has been distributed based on the relative standalone selling prices of the two components.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
We're 60% finished on a project that was allocated $60,000. How much revenue should we recognize this month?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on a **60% completion progress** for the allocated amount of **$60,000**, here is your revenue status:

*   **Recognized Revenue:** $36,000
*   **Deferred Revenue:** $24,000

You can book $36,000 as earned revenue for this period.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a summary of a new contract: $50,000 total, with a hardware component (worth $20k) and a service component (worth $30k). How is the price distributed?
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the allocation summary for the new contract:

*   **Total Contract Value:** $50,000
*   **Hardware Component:** $20,000 allocated
*   **Service Component:** $30,000 allocated

The price has been distributed proportionally based on the provided standalone values.
```

## Capabilities

### Break down contracts into performance obligations
The agent identifies separate services or items within a single contract.

### Distribute total contract prices
It allocates the total price across different items based on their standalone selling prices.

### Calculate recognized revenue
The tool determines how much revenue is earned today based on project completion.

### Identify deferred revenue amounts
It calculates how much of the transaction price remains to be recognized in future periods.

### Analyze standalone selling prices
It uses your specific pricing data to ensure accurate distribution of contract value.

## Use Cases

### Splitting software and service bundles
A software company has a deal with a hardware bundle. The agent uses identify_performance_obligations to split the license from the hardware.

### Allocating multi-project fees
A consulting firm needs to split a $500k fee across three different projects. The agent uses allocate_transaction_price to distribute the funds.

### Calculating monthly progress revenue
A construction firm wants to know how much revenue to book this month. The agent uses calculate_revenue_recognition based on a 40% completion rate.

### Updating deferred revenue schedules
A SaaS provider wants to see their deferred revenue schedule. The agent runs calculate_revenue_recognition to update the remaining balance.
