## Delayed Payments

An installment moves from **Payments** to **Delayed Payments** when:

- Its due date has passed **AND**
- The number of days since the due date exceeds the **Delay Payment Grace Period** configured in Finance Settings.

Example: If grace period = 7 days and the installment was due on the 1st, it appears in Delayed Payments on the 8th.

### Late Payment Penalty

If **Delay Payment Fees** is enabled in Finance Settings, a penalty percentage is automatically added to delayed installments:

- **Delay Payment Fees ON/OFF** — enables/disables automatic penalty calculation.
- **Delay Payment Fees Percentage %** — the penalty percentage calculated from the installment amount.

The penalty amount appears in the **Penalties** tab.

## Extra Delayed Payments

An installment moves from **Delayed Payments** to **Extra Delayed Payments** when:
