Select the “Deferred Revenue” account in the 'Recurred Invoice Template' line and specify the 'Deferred Release Method' and 'Deferred Dest. G/L Acc.' as per the instructions for creating a Deferred Sales Invoice.

On generating the Sales Invoice from the Recurring Sales Invoice Template, the process will use the Date Placeholders and the Sales Invoice 'Document Date' to calculate and validate the 'Deferred Starting Date' and 'Deferred Ending Date' needed to allow the Sales Invoice to be posted.
