What are Scheduled Payments?
Scheduled Payments enables your customers to schedule future payments for their orders while maintaining your control over the payment process. When a customer schedules a payment, they will select their payment date according to your payment terms with them and a payment method. Then on the date of payment, the system will automatically process their payment and notify you and them about the transaction result.
The latest available date for a customer to schedule their payment is the invoice due date.
How does the system calculate when customers can schedule payments?
The system calculates available scheduling dates based on the payment term configuration. You can see which payment term details affect this behavior in the following chart:
Configuration Field | Purpose | Impact |
|---|---|---|
Credit Period | Defines payment window | Required for automatic date range calculation |
EOM Checkbox | End of Month calculation | Affects payment due date calculation |
Prepaid Checkbox | Immediate payment required | Disables scheduled payments |
Status (Active/Disabled) | Term availability | Inactive terms disable scheduled payments |
| Tip |

We recommend that you set up your payment terms according to our standard term recommendations to ensure a seamless scheduled payment experience. |

Override a Scheduled Payment
To keep you in control of your finances, we’ve created a way for you to override scheduled payments to collect open balances whenever you need to. However, we strongly advise against overriding scheduled payments without consulting first with your customer to avoid damaging your relationship with them.
To override a scheduled payment, do the following instructions:
Go to Screen A/R and select Screen Open Invoices.
Search the invoice(s) you are processing.
Click on the button from the Actions column and select Receive Payment.
Process the payment as usual.
When you override a scheduled payment, the system cancels it and emails your customer with the update on their invoice payment.
