My humble opinion, might very well be wrong since I took accounting a while ago...
in your balance sheet now it will be:
|
DR |
CR |
Expense |
$1M |
|
AR |
|
|
Revenue |
|
|
If you credit the later 2M to revenue you would still end up with 1M CR in AR not revenue.
I think it should be:
|
DR |
CR |
Expense |
$3M |
|
AR |
|
|
Revenue |
|
$1M |
So when you get the 2M refund payment later you can credit back to expense and the expense and revenue will match.
I would do:
|
DR |
CR |
Revenue |
|
|
AR |
|
|
|
|
|
Revenue |
|
$1M |
