    Company code
    CUR for main campus
    Posting period/year
    Revenue period that you wish to recognize. So if you enter a future posting period you can recognize the future revenue today.
    Posting level
    3 will recognize revenue per sales document item level per posting period. So if you ran for multiple posting periods, everything would be posted today but with separate FI documents. Blank will recognize revenue per sales document. So multiple line items will be posted to a single FI document with multiple line items. Multiple posting periods will not be distinguished.
