− | == Creating a new Payment Plan ==
| |
− | | |
− | Before you begin, one of the conditions of setting up a payment plan is that the customer must have an automated payment method of some kind setup. If you try and create a Payment Plan before you do this, the UI will state this and redirect you to the Payment Method tab. Furthermore, the payment method must be "Enabled" before the system will permit you to create a payment plan.
| |
− | | |
− | Assuming you have completed the step below, go to the customer account -> Payment Plan Tab -> Create Payment Plan.
| |

| |
− | | |
− | In the first step of the wizard, the system asks you which invoices, and what amount on each invoice is going to be subject to the payment plan. Note that if you are only covering a partial amount of the invoice with a payment plan, the remaining outstanding balance will still be subject to overdue invoice events, and automatic payment method attempts just like any other normal outstanding amount.

− | | |
− | In the second step of the wizard, you are asked to specify the details about the payment schedule. The following fields will require completion
| |
− | | |
− | * The payment plan start date. Whatever date you set here will be the day when the first payment deduction will be attempted.
| |
− | * The payment frequency. As the name suggests the interval between each payment deduction.
| |
− | * The number of payments. Determines the value of each payment deduction attempt during the course of the payment plan. For instance, if the total of the payment plan was $100, and you specified 4, then each payment amount would be $25.
| |
− | * Days between retry. It is possible that the payment deduction may fail. This option lets you configure how much time passes before the system will attempt again for that particular payment in the payment schedule.
| |
− | * Maximum tries per failed payment. This lets you control how many attempts you will permit on a particular payment deduction, before the payment plan is cancelled outright. If the payment plan is cancelled, please note that the invoice will become outstanding once again. It will be subject to all over the verdue invoice events, and the system will attempt to deduct the entire outstanding/overdue amount of the invoice if an automated payment method is enabled.

| |
− | | |
− | The next step of the wizard gives you a preview of the schedule. From here you can tweak amounts due on certain days, or if you wish, change the date of a particular payment schedule. In terms of the amount it can be changed to any value, provided that the sum of all the scheduled amounts matches that of the payment plan total. Once your done click Finalize Payment Plan.

− | == Updating a Payment plan ==
| |
− | | |
− | It is possible to modify a payment plan (scheduled dates only), or cancel it after it has been created.
| |
− | | |
− | === Changing scheduled payments or cancel the payment plan ===
| |
− | | |
− | First of all navigate back to the payment plan tab and click on the ID of the payment:
| |
− | | |
− | [[File:Edit payment plan.png|Edit_Payment_Plan]]
| |
− | | |
− | From the next window you can change the scheduled payment dates here and click Update Payment Dates for this to date effect. You may also cancel the payment plan outright.
| |
− | | |
− | If you wish to:
| |
− | | |
− | * Modify the amounts of the payment plan, either the total or individual payments.
| |
− | * Modify the amount of payments to be made.
| |
− | * Modify other attributes such as payment retry attempts then;
| |
− | | |
− | You would need to cancel the payment plan outright and recreate it. Please note that cancelling the payment plan will make the amount overdue again. This could mean that the invoice will again be subject to overdue invoice events, or automatic deductions if the Automated Payment Method is still enabled.
