  Key Concepts: 
  Yearly advance payment is a feature of the IS-U-BI Contract Billing component of SAP. It allows customers to pay for their services in advance for a full year, rather than paying on a monthly basis. This can be beneficial for customers who want to save money by paying in bulk, as well as for businesses that want to ensure they receive payment in a timely manner.
  How to Use It: 
  To use the yearly advance payment feature, customers must first set up an account with the business. Once the account is established, customers can select the yearly advance payment option when making their payment. The customer will then be billed for the full year's worth of services upfront. The customer will then be able to access the services for the entire year without having to make any additional payments.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an account with a business that offers yearly advance payments, it is important to read all of the terms and conditions carefully. This will ensure that customers understand what they are agreeing to and what their rights are if they decide to cancel their service before the end of the year. Additionally, customers should make sure that they are aware of any fees or penalties associated with canceling their service before the end of the year.
