Reschedule Recognition When a Stripe Credit Note Claws Back Mid-Term Revenue

On a Stripe credit note for an active subscription, it reduces the remaining contract value, re-spreads the deferred balance over the remaining term.

What it does

A mid-term credit note is effectively a downward amendment: it lowers what will ultimately be recognized. This workflow reads the credit, reduces the contract's remaining deferred balance, re-spreads what is left across the remaining recognition periods, and produces the reversal entry so already-recognized revenue is corrected too.

When to use it

Use it when you issue Stripe credit notes against in-term subscriptions — concessions, partial cancellations, service credits — and need the recognition waterfall and any catch-up reversal handled in one pass instead of a manual journal.

How it works

  1. 1A Stripe `credit_note.created` event for an active subscription triggers the run.
  2. 2An action loads the subscription's current deferred-revenue schedule from Snowflake.
  3. 3A logic step applies the credit to the remaining contract value and re-spreads the balance over the remaining term, computing any reversal of already-recognized amounts.
  4. 4The revised schedule is written back to Snowflake.
  5. 5The new schedule and the reversal journal entry are emailed to the accounting distribution list via Gmail.
