## TL;DR
Fix this in deferred revenue schedule by acting on the exact problem first: reconcile the deferred revenue schedule to the general ledger by contract, find contracts whose recognised revenue in the schedule differs from the journal total, correct the schedule recognition period for those contracts, and repost the catch up journal so schedule and ledger agree. Do not rerun the whole close unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account or period first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

## Use this when
- The operation in deferred revenue schedule fails with this exact problem: deferred revenue schedule mismatch error recognized revenue does not tie.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- A close task, reconciliation, journal or reporting step is blocked until this is resolved.

## Not for this skill when
- The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with an accounting judgement such as an estimate or a materiality call. That is a controller decision, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure on one named account or period in deferred revenue schedule and record the full problem text plus the account, period or journal involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: reconcile the deferred revenue schedule to the general ledger by contract, find contracts whose recognised revenue in the schedule differs from the journal total, correct the schedule recognition period for those contracts, and repost the catch up journal so schedule and ledger agree. Verify: the single failing account or period now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring accounts, entities or periods that share the same checklist, schedule or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one account. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in deferred revenue schedule on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the signed general ledger record, the subledger record or the bank record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the close log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Variant phrasings

### deferred revenue schedule mismatch error recognized revenue does not tie
The verbatim form searchers paste from the console, report or run log. Treat it identically: same fix, same single account proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix - deferred revenue schedule mismatch error recognized revenue does not tie
The how to phrasing for the same failure in deferred revenue schedule. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### deferred revenue schedule troubleshooting for this failure
The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

## Why it happens
The schedule and the ledger recognise revenue on separate runs, and a contract amended or started mid period updates one without the other until the two are reconciled contract by contract.

## Edge cases
- The account was adjusted, reopened or revalued after the failing run started. Refresh the account state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
- The single account proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other accounts. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared checklist or schedule can hide more than one cause.
- The source systems disagree on the correct value. The signed general ledger record governs posted amounts, the subledger governs its detail, and the bank record governs cash; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: deferred revenue schedule at current versions, plus the general ledger, subledger or close tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
