Overview
Payment Advances are handled in a similar manner as Normal Planned Payments. Unlike Normal Planned Payments, Payment Advances have a registry. Contract Management facilitates the planing of Payment Advances. The System also supports the registration of Payment Advances at the time the advance needs to be paid.
Each Payment Advance is associated with a Line Item of the Contract. This enables the System to validate maximum Payment Advances amounts, because every Line Item allows defining a maximum limit for a better control within the Public Institution. This feature allows the manipulation of different maximum limits depending on the Line Item. For example: 10% as maximum limit for the Line Item Software but 20% for the Line Item Hardware.
Contract Payments include: Planned Payments, Payment Advances, and Payments already completed.
