# Use payment schedules

When an accrual plan is set up to use a schedule for accrual payments, create the schedule. The total amount scheduled initially equals the **Total Estimated Amount** on the **Payments** tab.

## Steps

1. On the **Customer Rebate/Promo Card**, on the **Navigate** tab, in the **Promo/Rebate** group, choose **Payment Schedule**.
2. If no fixed schedule can be created, enter the information manually line by line:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| No. | Filled in automatically, but can be changed. |
| Scheduled Date | The date on which the payment should be posted. |
| Amount | The payment amount for the specified date. |

1. If a fixed schedule can be created, on the **Home** tab, in the **Process** group, choose **Create**.
2. On the page that appears, fill in the following fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Starting Accrual Date | The starting date of the scheduled payment posting. |
| Accrual Interval | The date interval between the scheduled payment postings. |
| No. of Accruals | The number of scheduled payments to be posted. |
| Accrual Amount | The amount per scheduled payment posting. |

1. Choose **OK**. The scheduled payment lines are created automatically.
