Summary / TL:DR: This article is a reference to help you understand agreement choices in Advantage.

...

To locate or add a new Agreement choice, navigate to the Agreements area under the Choices section of the Marketing Ribbon.

Warning

Timing between billing charges is not to exceed 1 year between charges. This includes, but is not limited automatic renewal or installments.  For example, if offering a 2 year option for a subscription or agreement, this option cannot be offered with a renewal flag of ‘C’ on automatic renew as the timing of between charges would be over 1 year.
