• Key Concepts: 
  Installment repayment is a feature of the Financial Conditions component of SAP's Financials and Controlling (FICO) module. It allows customers to pay for goods or services in installments, rather than in one lump sum. This feature is especially useful for customers who may not have the funds to pay for a large purchase upfront. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use installment repayment, customers must first set up a payment plan with the vendor. This plan should include the total amount due, the number of installments, and the payment schedule. Once this is done, the vendor can enter the details into SAP's Financial Conditions component. This will create an installment repayment agreement that will be visible to both parties. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:

This includes the total amount due, the number of installments, and the payment schedule. Additionally, it is important to keep track of payments made and ensure that all payments are made on time.
