  How to use it: 
  In SAP Collections Management, installment payments can be set up for customers who owe a debt. The customer will be able to make multiple payments over a period of time, with each payment being applied to the debt until it is fully paid off. The installment payment plan can be customized to fit the customer’s needs and budget. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an installment payment plan, it is important to consider the customer’s ability to pay and the length of time it will take for them to pay off the debt. It is also important to ensure that the customer understands the terms of the installment plan and that they are aware of any late fees or other penalties that may be incurred if they fail to make their payments on time.
