Documentation

Definition

Defines how the system determines the installments within a fee calculation period.

Use

You need at least two time limits to distribute a payable to installments.

The system offers the following installment determination methods:

  • Percentage

    The system determines the installment from the given percentage.

  • Fixed amount

    The system uses the specified amount as the installment.

  • Remainder

    The system determines the remaining payment amount and uses this as the installment.

Notes

In fee calculation, you may not use the installment determination methods percentage and fixed amount concurrently.

To avoid rounding differences, use the installment determination method remainder as the last installment.

Example

You want students to pay their tuition fees in three installments. The first installment is 50 percent, and the second and third are 25 percent each. You map this in the system as follows:

Time limit    Installment determination method    Percent

1001    Percentage    50

1002    Percentage    25

1003    Remainder    (the system enters "percentage".)
