During channel inventory update, when a particular price bucket is updated, the system now includes information that reflects deferred revenue and liabilities incurred from deferred cost of goods sold.
Recognize revenue-related point of sales data and information from channel inventory history records.
Since indirect channels of business recognize revenue with respect to channel partner sales only once a POS notification is received.
Adjust channel inventory for cost of goods sold (COGS).
