Installment status

Accept installments

The acceptance of the installment details allows it to be forwarded to Invoicing, where the actual invoice is raised.

Acceptance can indicate financial approval of the installment. Another reason can be that the business partner has accepted the installment details.

Use the Switch Status of Contract Installments (tsctm4201m000) session to accept installments.

Note

The installment status must be Free. Once the status is Accepted, the installment details can no longer be changed.

Cancel installments

At some point, you may want to stop using an installment. Use the Cancel Contract Installments (tsctm4202m000) session to cancel installments.

For example, you may wish to reduce the storage requirements allocated to installments.

Note

The installment status must be Free or Accepted. You can also generate a closure installment at this point.

Once the user has Accepted the details of the installment, it can be transferred.

Use the Transfer Installments to Central Invoicing (tsctm4203m000) session to transfer installments to Invoicing.
