IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers – Boutique treats on performance obligations and revenue recognition, Part II

First Published: IFRS Boutique Date: June 2018 By: Chris Ragkavas, BA, MA, FCCA, CGMA StudySmart management consultant, senior finance & accounting tutor, IFRS technical expert When an entity enters into a contract including more than one POs, the total agreed consideration, may be different to the sum of the considerations that would have been agreed, for each individual PO. Proper allocation of the TP to different POs is essential, especially when some POs are satisfied over time and some at a point in time, affecting the amount of revenue to be recognized in different accounting periods. Moreover, entities need to allocate part of the TP to POs that are contractually satisfied free of charge, as practically  no PO is taken to be satisfied under IFRS 15 for  no consideration . Entities must allocate the TP to the POs, based on the  stand-alone selling price  (henceforth SSP) of each PO. In our examples below, we assume that the SSPs are the price at which the entity would sell each good/service separately to a customer, as alternative methods are beyond the scope of this article.

The transaction price can be a fixed amount of customer consideration, but it may sometimes include variable consideration or consideration in a form other than cash. Consideration may be variable due to price concessions, volume discounts, rebates, early settlement discounts, performance bonuses or other similar items.  The standard compels entities to recognize revenue even when it is variable, i.e. even if there is a degree of uncertainty with regards to the final amount that will be recognized, once the reason for the variability is resolved.

Even if a good or service is agreed to be given/rendered free of charge, consideration must be allocated to it. We will deal with this last point, in another article. How are POs classified? POs are either: A good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is  distinct ; A  series  of distinct goods or services that are substantially the sameand have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. ​ A good or service is  distinct , if: READ MORE Related Articles IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers – Boutique treats on performance obligations and revenue recognition, Part I – READ MORE IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers – Boutique treats on performance obligations and revenue recognition, Part II - READ MORE IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers – Boutique treats on performance obligations and revenue recognition, Part III – READ MORE IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers – Boutique treats on performance obligations and revenue recognition, Part IV – READ MORE
