Accounting for unearned revenue ahead of billing start period

-The business performs quarterly billing in advance, eg. The bill is sent on 15 March but billing period only starts 1 April.
-From an contractual perspective, this bill is only due from first day of billing period (ie 1st April). There are 2 requirements:
On AR Unearned reveme is expected to be recorded as soon as it is issue (15 March)
In GL/Accounting wise, unearned revenue is only expected to be reported/recorded as a liability from 1st April.
Is there any best practice solution to avoid maintaining GL manual entries?
