A huge problem with memberships & deferred revenue

In the update, there was a change in membership settings.  You now set the deferred revenue division when adding the recurring service.  The only options are to "Divide Evenly (100%)" or manually... the problem is that it does not recognize when you have 2 of the same services in 1 year.  It changes the preset template to the full amount for the year instead of half.  

Example - $174/ yr for membership; 2 recurring services - AC maintenances (same service, twice per year)

Recurring service template is set to recognize $87 each visit (divided evenly)

When you sell the membership... go to location/ recurring service and click to edit it.  ST now forces the template to change to recognize $174 each visit. 

 

Your accounting will be so far off because this will attempt to recognize the full revenue EACH visit.

Now ST is telling me "a membership year is 364 days.  So in the 1st membership year there is only one recurring event."  So basically a 2x/ year recurring event happens every 6 months, pushing the 2nd event into a new year... which will INCORRECTLY divide the deferred revenue.  Their logic is that in the 2nd year, it will recognize 2 visits.  The problem being that it will recognize the 2nd visit from year 1 and the 1st visit from year 2.  Now, what happens if someone moves or decides to cancel?  ALL of the deferred revenue will be messed up. 

This is a Service Titan issue that needs to be fixed.  This was never a problem before.
