# Link deferral schedule to document
You use the Deferral schedule (DR201500) window to create a deferral schedule for a selected document.
For more information: [Deferral schedule (DR201500)](/visma-net-erp/help/deferred-revenue/deferred-revenue-windows/deferral-schedule-dr201500/).
1. Go to the [Deferral schedule (DR201500)](/visma-net-erp/help/deferred-revenue/deferred-revenue-windows/deferral-schedule-dr201500/) window.
1. Click .
1. In the top part of the window, specify the following parameters:
1. In the **Doc. type** field, select the type of the document that requires a deferral.
1. In the **Ref. no.** field, select the document by its reference number.
1. In the **Line no.** field, select the line of the document with the amount for which you want to schedule recognition.
1. Optional:: Click **View document** to make sure that you have selected the document correctly and specified the appropriate line number (if applicable).
1. In the **Components** table, click  and do the following:
1. In the **Component ID** column, leave **< NONE>**, or select a required component (by its ID).
1. In the **Deferral code** column, specify the deferral code to be used for generating recognition transactions.
1. Optional:: In the **Deferral account** column (and **Deferral sub.**, if subaccounts are used in your system), review the account (and the subaccount, if applicable) taken from the deferral code settings, and edit it (if needed).
1. In the **Account** (and **Subaccount** ) fields, select the sales or expense account (depending on the selected document type), and corresponding subaccount (if applicable) to which recognised amounts should be posted.
1. In the **Total amount** column, type the amount to be deferred. The sum of total amounts of all listed components must be equal to amount of the selected line ( **Line amount** ).

1. Click .
1. Click **Release**. No general ledger transactions are generated when you release a deferral schedule.
If you need to release multiple custom schedules at the same time, use the [Release schedules (DR503000)](/visma-net-erp/help/deferred-revenue/deferred-revenue-windows/release-schedules-dr503000/) window.
For custom recognition transactions, you run the recognition process in the same way as you do for automatically generated transactions in the [Run recognition (DR501000)](/visma-net-erp/help/deferred-revenue/deferred-revenue-windows/run-recognition-dr501000/) window.
