Milestone Billing Plan Configuration Milestone Billing is a billing arrangement in which a customer is billed in installments spread over a specific period of time on the achievement of a predefined milestone for a work. The difference between milestone and periodic billing is that in milestone billing, the customer has to pay the total amount in parts or installments that are not fixed because it depends on the achievement of a milestone . For example, rental billing is an example of periodic billing, and billing done on the achievement of predefined milestones during the construction of a bridge is an example of milestone billing. In milestone billing, a billing document is generated on the achievement of predefined milestones. It is a final billing in full at a particular milestone according to items sold or rendered. An example of this would be a Project Milestone, such as the completion of an architect's blue print, for which the service is invoiced. 1. DEFINE BILLING PLAN TYPES -- OVBO
