• Key Concepts: 
  Deferral amount is a term used in SAP's FS-AM-OM-AC Account Order Management component. It is the amount of money that is held back from a customer's payment until certain conditions are met. This could include the customer meeting certain requirements, such as providing additional documentation or completing a certain task. The deferral amount is then released when these conditions are met. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The deferral amount can be used to ensure that customers meet certain requirements before they receive their payment. This can be done by setting up a deferral agreement in the system, which will specify the conditions that must be met before the payment is released. Once these conditions are met, the deferral amount will be released to the customer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a deferral agreement, it is important to make sure that all of the conditions are clearly stated and understood by both parties. This will help to ensure that the customer meets all of the requirements and that the payment is released in a timely manner. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The deferral amount can also be used to manage customer credit limits. By setting up a deferral agreement, customers can be prevented from exceeding their credit limit until certain conditions are met. This can help to ensure that customers do not take on more debt than they can handle.
