# Manage recognition for packages - overview

d

For some time, however, recognition of revenue resulting from such sales posed an accounting problem.

A package has a single price and multiple components
(deliverables) included, which are often delivered at different times but not
necessarily at the time of the sale; for example, a package might include a cell
phone, its activation, and a one-year service plan.
Moreover, it might be
permissible to return some components, but not others.

Different countries have different regulations about how to divide an MDA into separate units
of accounting and how to allocate revenue to these units.
