Continia Finance – Installments
Split, schedule, and manage invoice payments with full flexibility
Give your customers and vendors more flexible payment options — directly in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Your payment options shouldn’t hold you back
Not every invoice fits neatly into a single payment. But Business Central’s standard setup can make it difficult to accommodate more flexible terms.
You’ve probably run into this:
- A customer wants to split a single invoice into multiple installment payments
- You’re relying on external solutions to provide flexible payment schemes
- You need to adjust the payment schedule after an invoice has already been posted
- Your team spends time manually managing partial payments and correcting errors
Workarounds take valuable time, and inability to accommodate might prevent you from closing important deals. In short, the system isn’t built for flexibility.
Say hello to flexible partial payments
The Continia Finance - Installments module adds payment flexibility to both sales and purchase documents in Business Central.
You can split invoices into manageable installments either before or after posting, using customizable templates. Whether you're dealing with a recurring agreement or a one-off request, this module gives you the tools to manage split payments with ease and accuracy.
What you can do with Installments
Split payments before or after posting
Break invoices into installments at any stage — either manually or by applying a pre-built template.
Enjoy full payment flexibility
Split invoices into few or many installments, equal increments or different amounts at different stages – the choice is yours!
Create reusable templates
Define installment templates with flexible maturity dates, split amounts, and naming conventions for quick and consistent use.
Cancel with confidence
Need to make a change? Cancel an installment plan at any time to reopen the original document for adjustments.
Apply installments to any transaction
Use installment plans on journal lines or any existing vendor or customer ledger entry — whatever fits your process.
Handle rounding and residuals
Automatically apply any leftover amount to the first or last installment to ensure totals are always accurate.
How it works
The module enhances your Business Central environment with tools that help you create, track, and manage installments flexibly and reliably:
- Installment templates: Define how payments are split, when they're due, and how the documents are named.
- Setup options: Control how installment entries are displayed, how document numbers are formatted, and how residual amounts are applied.
- Posting logic: Automatically close original documents and post installments with correct due dates and amounts.
- Document support: Apply installment plans across unposted documents, journal lines, or even already booked entries.
You can preview installment schedules before posting and tailor your setup for any use case — whether recurring or ad hoc.
