There is a lot of confusion surrounding these two features:

• Revenue Rules exist in order to move money from one profit center to another when a ticket is scanned.

That is it. End of story. If there is no revenue to move, then the rules do not get triggered (for example,

comp tickets). The most common use of revenue rules is to allocate revenue to a “Deferred” profit center

when sold, and later when the ticket is used, move it to another profit center. For example, 5000 1-day

tickets are sold for dirt-cheap at a trade show, let’s say $5.00 each. The client doesn’t want to recognize

$25,000 worth of revenue the day that the tickets were produced in Siriusware because most likely, that

happened during their off season. So instead, the client uses revenue moving rules to move 100% of the

revenue ($5 per ticket) from “Deferred” to “Ticket Revenue” when the tickets are scanned.

• Consignment Programs involve selling a bunch of tickets or vouchers to an account for bulk distribution to a

partner, and then recording the redemption of those bulk vouchers back to the same account once they are

used. The client may price the vouchers at $0 and the redemptions at the consignment rate, or the vouchers

at the consignment rate and the redemptions at $0, or they may put a price on both items and just ‘ignore’

one profit center in order to not double-count revenue. Where/when to recognize the revenue in a

consignment program is a tricky decision and is the responsibility of the client’s accounting department.

Because Revenue Rules and Consignment both have a two-part process, the initial sale and the redemption, and

they both deal with revenue, it is easy to start thinking that Revenue Moving and Consignment can be used in

conjunction to deal with the consignment issue of selling vouchers that cost $$ and recording redemptions that also

cost $$, without doubling up revenue. Unfortunately, this is not true.

Revenue rules only move money from one profit center to another using a DCI specified in the rule to record the

move. Revenue rules do not interact with consignment programs to perform auto-sales to accounts, and cannot set

the price of the auto-sold ticket. So, as tempting as it is to want to use revenue moving and consignment together, it

just doesn’t work that way. In the future it may be possible to create an enhancement to make the two features

more compatible with each other, but for now you must decide on using one or the other.
