  Payment Agreement is a component of the SAP Financial Accounting (FI) module. It is used to define payment terms and conditions for vendors and customers. It allows users to set up payment plans, such as installment payments, and to specify the payment method, such as bank transfer or check. Payment Agreement also allows users to set up automatic payments for recurring transactions.
