arveldusaegadeni

Arveldusaegadeni is an accounting concept describing the cut-off point up to which transactions are included in a specific billing or accounting period. It supports consistent revenue recognition, invoicing, and period closing by defining the boundary between the current and the next period.

The term is formed from Estonian arveldus (invoicing), aeg (time), and -edeni (until). It is used in Estonian accounting manuals and billing workflows to indicate that any revenue earned on or before the boundary is attributed to the current period, while items posted after are deferred.

In practice, arveldusaegadeni guides billing runs for monthly cycles; for example, a cycle with a boundary of the 30th would include all transactions dated on or before the 30th in that month's invoices. It is related to general cutoff dates in accrual accounting and to systems that implement revenue recognition rules.

Because the term is principally used in Estonian contexts, its exact application can vary between organizations. In international accounting, concepts akin to cutoff dates are described more broadly but may use different terminology.
