Documentation

Definition

Defines how the program generates newly created due dates.

With the Sequential Procedure all documents with the same due date in the series are included, whereas with the Proportional Procedure documents are processed proportionally.

Use

The system splits the original documents from their due date in order. If several documents have the same due date, the program determines how to split the installments based on the selected installment calculation procedure.
