cross-reference subtopic

ASC 220-932 is a short "pointer" subtopic that addresses income statement presentation for oil- and gas-producing activities. It contains no substantive incremental rules of its own: it adopts the scope of ASC 932-10-15 and directs readers to the industry disclosure requirements in 932-235-50-21 through 50-28 and to the illustrative results-of-operations example in 932-235-55-5.

ASC 280-932 is a short "pointer" subtopic that addresses segment reporting as it applies to oil and gas producing activities. It contains no substantive requirements of its own: its scope mirrors that of the oil and gas Overall Subtopic (932-10-15), and it directs preparers to the industry-specific segment disclosure requirements located with the other oil and gas disclosures in 932-235-50-22 through 50-23.

ASC 705-10 is a "pointer" subtopic: it contains almost no substantive rules of its own and instead links to the Topics where cost of sales and services guidance actually resides. This structure follows from the Codification's asset liability model, under which costs are recognized as assets are sold or remeasured (or liabilities incurred), so the guidance sits in Topics such as 330 (inventory), 360 (PP&E), 606/340-40 (customer contracts), and 718 (share-based payment).

ASC 705-985 is a "links only" subtopic that points to the authoritative guidance elsewhere in the Codification on cost of sales and services for computer software. Its content is that amortization of capitalized software development costs for products marketed to others is charged to cost of sales or a similar expense category (per 985-20-45-1), while duplication/packaging costs are inventory costs under 985-330 and costs to keep software current with hardware revisions are addressed in 985-20-55-11 through 55-12.

ASC 730-985 is a "link" subtopic: it contains no substantive rules of its own but points readers from the research and development Topic to the software guidance. It directs users to 985-20-25-1 for costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, and to 985-20-25-8 through 25-10 for the cost of purchased software to be marketed.
