1. 605-25Multiple-Element Arrangements605 Revenue Recognition

   ASC 605-25 was the legacy guidance on multiple-element (multiple-deliverable) revenue arrangements — how a vendor decided whether deliverables in one contract were separate units of accounting and how to allocate arrangement consideration among them. Every paragraph of the subtopic has been superseded, principally by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), with a few earlier paragraphs superseded by ASU 2009-13. There is therefore no operative guidance left in 605-25; entities apply ASC 606 (and ASC 340-40) instead.
