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.
