Merchandise Segmentation - Installment Billing
If your organization allows customers to purchase merchandise using an installment plan, you must create a SA type for this.
Note: 
No installments. If the customer must pay for the merchandise in one lump amount, you'd create an SA type similar to the Connection Charge Segmentation example.

Notice the following about the new merchandise SA type:
• It has a normal receivable distribution code.
• It uses an interesting bill segment type - RECUR-AS. This bill segment type was set up to create recurring charges that stop when the customer no longer has a payoff balance.
• The recurring charge control information is set up as defined.
