I see what you mean Mike.
I imagined the following scenario: Notice I dont have experience in software companies.
1-Sales Agreement with Customer Signed
2-Goods Manufactured and Shipped to Customer (licence given)
3-Terms for Delivery / Transfer of Risk Are Met (SWARM installed)
Dr. Cost of Goods Sold $?
Cr. Inventory $?
Dr. Accounts Receivable $1,500,000
Cr. Revenue $1,500,000
4-Invoice Mailed to Customer
5-Customer Submits Payment for Invoice in Q4 2007
Dr. Cash $500,000
Cr. Accounts Receivable $500,000
Customer Submits Payment for Invoice in Q1 2008
Dr. Cash $500,000
Cr. Accounts Receivable $500,000
Customer Submits Payment for Invoice in Q2 2008
Dr. Cash $500,000
Cr. Accounts Receivable $500,000
Why do I consider it like that? Because delivery of the product happens once at the start of the cycle. It is not a Turbine being constructed that could take 2 years to deliver.
