The Debtor Instalment Charges program generates debtor instalments by looking at when instalments are next due. It will only process instalments up to and including the Process Date.
All instalment charges are recorded and automatically maintained on the Debtor Maintenance - Instalments tab.
If instalments are marked as being stopped for a debtor they are not processed. To process stopped instalments, see the Debtor Maintenance - Instalments tab.
