DEFERRED REVENUE

It is the one you called for advance payments or unearned revenue. It will be called as a deferred revenue until the services have been rendered or the products is already delivered. Deferred revenue is a liability because it refers to revenue that has not yet been earned, but represents products or services that are owed to the customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, it is recognized as revenue on the income statement. For example, a company that receives an advance payment of $100,000 for delivery of a product would book it as deferred revenue on its balance sheet.
