Option A Performance Recognition

Also known as: Cash-basis performance · 業績跟著現金走 · Pay-as-collected recognition

MeiYe Zhan's revenue-recognition model: performance is credited to the beautician on the day the customer pays cash. Unpaid balances are credited only when paid back later.

Full definition

Option A (cash-basis performance) is the core idea behind how MeiYe Zhan counts your sales. When a customer pays in installments, performance is counted on the day the money actually comes in, not on the day the service was done. So if a customer only pays part of the bill today, only that paid-for share counts as sales today. The unpaid balance is tracked as outstanding debt, and every time the customer pays off more later, that new payment counts as fresh sales on that day — so your numbers always match the cash you really took in.

Why this concept matters

Beauty shops deal with split payments all the time — a package paid in 3 installments, a treatment settled later. If you counted all the sales on service day, your staff would earn commission on money the shop might never collect, and you'd be out of pocket. But if you didn't count it then, your staff would complain "I did the work and got no credit." Option A solves both: sales follow the cash, and whoever's payment came in gets the credit. When the customer pays off the rest later, that credit still goes back to the original beautician — and to any supporting beauticians, split fairly by their share.

How MeiYe Zhan handles it

MeiYe Zhan builds this "sales follow the cash" rule into every corner of the system. Whether you're looking at the sales figure on your dashboard, the monthly sales report, or the payroll estimate on the attendance page, the sales are worked out the same consistent way — so one screen won't say one number and another screen disagree. You never have to write out a formula or reach for a calculator: just record each payment as it comes in, and the system automatically credits the sales to the right person, on the right day.

Concrete example

NT$1,000 treatment paid NT$600 cash + NT$400 owed. Option A: day-of performance NT$600; NT$400 enters Debt. Client repays 3 days later → that day's new performance NT$400 (still attributed to original beautician). Compare Option B (rejected): book full NT$1,000 day-of — if client defaults, shop loses cash AND has already paid commission.
