How to Use This Tool
Separate expected breakage from the outstanding obligation instead of treating every sale as earned revenue. Estimate outstanding gift card liability from sales, redemptions, recognized breakage and administrative adjustments.

Gift card cash arrives before the performance obligation is settled, so unredeemed value is not automatically ordinary product revenue. The boundary is the job stated in Estimate the Unredeemed Gift Card Balance Still Owed to Customers; Gift Card Liability is not intended to score or transform a different workflow.

If the source uses different units, quoting, nesting, timing or account rules, a plausible-looking Gift Card Liability output is not sufficient validation.
