I was thinking about doing something like this. 1) Define a TermType that specifies that an Invoice must be paid in N monthly sub payments. 2) Perform a calculation every month to inform the customers how much do they owe that specific month.
Perhaps in this monthly process it would be convenient to use a SubPaymentInfo Entity to track debt and payment. This would simplify the Debt Collection queries and customer pay analysis.
