 Select the scheduled invoice type: Fixed percentage or Frequency.
Once the invoicing element is used on a sales order, the scheduled invoice type can no longer be modified.

• When the schedule is of the Frequency type, the scheduled invoice amount is calculated by dividing the overall amount by the number of scheduled invoices.
  In this case, you must enter the information related to periodicity.
• When the schedule is of the Fixed percentage type, the amount of each scheduled invoice is calculated by applying the specified percentage to the overall amount.
  In this case, the schedule information are to be entered in the management grid.

This field can only be accessed if the schedule type is Frequency.
Select the method used to determine invoicing dates:

• Pre-invoicing (term to mature): the invoicing date of each periodic scheduled invoice is determined based on the period start date and selected invoicing day. It is set, at the earliest, before the scheduled invoice start date and, at the latest, at the beginning of the period. Post-invoicing also includes excluded days and unavailability periods.
  
• Post-invoicing (over due term): the invoicing date of each periodic scheduled invoice is determined based on the period end date and selected invoicing day. This process is performed when the period ends at the earliest. Post-invoicing also includes excluded days and unavailability periods.

Examples of determination of the next invoice dates on the first period, based on the invoicing method:

This field can only be accessed when the schedule is of the Frequency type and when the frequency is of at least one month.
