Deferred Fulfillment — Tier 2 Installment Model | Ownly by RBS
Deferred Fulfillment helps a business record deposits, payment dates, and an expected handoff milestone before a product or service is ready. The agreement sets whether handoff follows full payment or an earlier milestone. If goods are delivered or service is completed while a balance remains, that amount is still due under the agreement and carries collection exposure. A deposit or customer commitment does not guarantee payment or remove fulfillment risk.
How It Works
Agree on the item or service, deposit, payment dates, and expected delivery or completion window
Record payments against the schedule as production or work progresses
Before handoff, check the condition stated in the agreement; it may require full payment or a defined milestone
If the customer receives goods or the service is completed before full payment, track the remaining balance and follow up under the agreement
