====== Monthly revenue report ======
Monthly revenue report helps us forecast company's financial flows in more detail. Usually the amount planned in the opportunity is not payed at once but in several payments. And because payments are usually different from one case to another we have prepared a functionality that allows you to plan monthly payments and forecast them with monthly revenue report.

===== Entering monthly payments =====
The simplest way to enter monthly payments is directly on Opportunity's detailed view. By pressing "Monthly Payments" Button a dialog window appears.

<note>If you do not see the button "Monthly Payments", please contact us.

The dialog window for entering monthly payments contains two parts. The first part is for entering individual payments one by one, and the second part is to create monthly payments automatically in the same amount in a defined period of time. Off-course they can be used at the same time, as this is most common.

<note idea>For example: We sign a contract for 90.000 and we will receive an advance payment of 20.000, than we will receive 50.000 after the implementation and 20.000 will be payed in 5 monthly payments of 4.000.</note>

By clicking the "Preview Payments" button, you can see all the payments that will be created in the report. You can also rename them here and press "Create payments" button when finished.

<note important>In green color you can see the remaining amount, which should be 0 in the the moment you press the "Create payments" button. It helps you get the amount right.</note>

The newly created monthly payments will display just beneath the Opportunity detailed view, above the related activities to this opportunity.

===== Editing monthly payments =====
At this moment you can not edit created monthly payments one by one to avoid mistakes with opportunity amount totals and due dates.
But what you can do is:
  - **Create new payments once again** = this will automatically delete all your previous payments on this opportunity
  - **Change the amount on the Opportunity** = you will get a notification for your confirmation to delete all existing payments in case you decide to change the amount and save the opportunity - than you need to create the payments again properly (see the notification bellow)
  - **Change the expected close date on the Opportunity** = this will automatically move all due dates on all payments related to this opportunity for the same period as you moved the expected close date. (ex. if you changed Expected close date from 1.7.2014 to 10.7.2014, all the payments will slide for 9 days)
