To Configure Multiple-Installment Credit Terms

You use the Credit Terms (CS206500) form to define each set of credit terms. For a set of credit terms, you can specify payment as a single installment (described in To Configure Single-Installment Credit Terms) or as multiple installments (described in this topic).
