Setting Up NRC Plans

Nonrecurring charge (NRC) plans are used to define installment plans for payment of one-time charges. For example, a service package includes an initial payment to start the service followed by 12 monthly charges that are billed on the first of the month. You can define this type of charge plan, and create invoices for the monthly billing charges. For more information about how NRC plans are associated with agreement line items, see Defining Charge Plans for Agreement Line Items (End User).
