ASC 606 five-step model in Oracle NetSuite
Any ERP implementation for ASC 606 must address all five steps of the model. The configuration points that most commonly require specialist involvement are: performance obligation setup (ensuring the system correctly separates distinct promises); standalone selling price methodology (building or importing the SSP schedule); variable consideration estimation and constraint logic; and the disclosure reporting layer.
Implementation note: The hardest part of an ASC 606 implementation in any ERP is not the system configuration—it is the accounting policy decisions that precede it. Which elements are distinct? What is the SSP for each? How is variable consideration constrained? These questions must be answered before a system is configured, or the configuration will need to be redone when the answers change.
