Payment Schedules Tab

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)
On this tab you create payment schedules that document any recurrent payments associated with this contract, as well as those payment schedules previously created for this contract. Each payment schedule can be associated with exactly one contract, and must be created through the properties page of its associated contract. However, a contract may have multiple payment schedules, such as one for lease payments and another for maintenance payments, or one for the first period of a contract and a second applying after a change in payments is negotiated.
Tip: This tab is only displayed after the contract has been created (that is, it is not visible in the set of properties displayed for the creation of a new contract).
On this tab, you can:
  • Create a payment schedule for this contract (see Create a Payment Schedule)
  • Open the detailed properties of the payment schedule, both to inspect and (if need be) to edit those properties (see Payment Schedule Properties)
  • Delete a payment schedule from the contract.
    Note: There is no undo on the delete action. This action also removes all records of payments already made under the schedule. Proceed with care.
    Tip: You can also separately delete individual payment records from the payment schedule properties.

The following properties (listed alphabetically) of the payment schedule are available for display in the list on this tab. Some are displayed by default, and others are available in the column chooser.

Column Notes
Auto link to assets and licenses

While this value is Yes, as any licenses or hardware assets linked to the contract (after the creation of the payment schedule), they are automatically also linked to the payment schedule. (Links can be adjusted manually afterwards.) While No, links must be managed individually from the beginning.

Set when the payment schedule is created, and then editable in the General tab of the payment schedule properties.
