Auto Charging Plan

It is possible to create an auto-charging plan to define how the system shall act upon the failure or success of an auto-charging attempt.

Basically, it is a set of steps that shall be performed by the system under pre-defined conditions.

Types of steps

There are for types of steps:

  • Auto charge full amount: the charged amount covers all the payments due for the loan

  • Auto charge bad debt: the charged amount covers only the payments past due for the loan

  • Auto charge current installment: the charged amount covers all payments due for the current installment

  • Auto charge interest: the charged amount covers only the interest accrued and not paid for the previous and current installments

Understanding the flow

You can define:

  • The first step

  • The step that shall be taken upon the success of the first and every other step

  • The step that shall be taken upon the failure of the first and every other step

  • Time offset (minutes) between the end of one step and the beginning of the other step

For example, the plan may be:

  1. Auto charge full amount

  2. If charging the full amount failed, wait for 10 minutes and auto charge interest

  3. If the attempt to charge interest succeeded, wait for 60 minutes, and auto charge the full amount once again

As you can see the plan is branched and covers some of the states (for our example, these are the green arrows in the diagram below).
If there is no next branch for the current condition, the auto-charging will stop (for our example, these are the violet arrows in the diagram below)
