Goal

Can you have different Accounting Dates or GL Dates in secondary ledger from Primary ledger on transactions where revenue recognitions has been run.

For example:
Primary ledger calendar  follows 4-4-5 periods sample period -- 23-Feb-14 to 22-Mar-14
Secondary ledger calendar follows monthly calender -- 01-Mar-14 to 31-Mar-14
Due to this difference some days like 25- Feb-2014 falls in MARCH period for primary ledger
and FEB period for secondary ledger.

When you have a service invoice which has a contract starting in the previous month or earlier, Oracle revenue recognition program will create amortization entries as per contract duration, the first period distribution gl date will be 23-FEb-14.  
This date falls in FEB period as per secondary ledger and not the MAR period which is where distribution should be recognized.
