The new scheduled payments can split the original amount and discount with new due dates and discount dates. You must fully split the original scheduled payment. In other words, the new scheduled payments must total the original amount and discount.

Splitting scheduled payments allows you to correct mistakes you may have made during Customer Transaction Entry.

The actual invoice number of the new scheduled payments does not change, only the sequence numbers do. The sequence number of the scheduled payment being split become inactive, and new sequence numbers are assigned to the new scheduled payments.
