Grouping configuration

Configure your system to group order lines based on the subscription's source — Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

App store data is organized by subscription, so you'll create two separate grouping rules using the contract grouping feature:

• Apple Store grouping rule: set the grouping attribute to Source = Apple Store.
• Play Store grouping rule: set the grouping attribute to Source = Play Store.

This setup ensures order lines are accurately grouped by subscription source.

Performance obligation

Define an exclusive Performance Obligation (POB) for app store data, where revenue is recognized over time.

This POB — called App Subscription — is automatically assigned to any order line in a contract that meets the Recurly RevRec rules for either Play Store or Apple Store data.

The POB rules are based on the source of the data, ensuring that all order lines with the specified source are grouped under the App Subscription POB.

Data rule configuration

To ensure accurate revenue recognition, configure data rules that transform your app store data correctly. You'll copy the sell price from Google Fees lines into the App Fees attribute and assign the proper account numbers for Play Store and Apple Store data. There are four data rules.

Data rule 1 — Copy Google fees to App Fees

Copies the sell price from Google Fees lines into the App Fees attribute.

App Management integration
