Introduction
A commitment is an agreement taken between a client and the organization. In ProDon, the commitment refers to this agreement. The commitment notion generally implies several instalments on long term. The commitment will allow several notions to be followed and viewed, such as the commitment total objective, the sum of money given by the client up to this day as well as the projections to come. The commitment itself does not contain money, but it will be used to create the planned transactions according to the agreement.
Commitment Creation
All commitments are created from a client file. Most of the time, a commitment will have to be created from the one with whom an agreement was taken or from the one that will pay for the commitment.
The commitments are divided in 2 types: objective and automatic. For more details, please refer to the sections about the particularities of each type.

Difference between commitment by objective vs automatic
Commitment by objective
The transactions linked to commitments by objective are created when receiving a payment. This notion applies to commitments needing an action like a cheque process.
Automatic commitment
The transactions linked to automatic commitments will be massively created to a frequency that can be set by the user. This notion will apply to commitments which does not need any action to trigger the instalment, for example the instalments on the client's payroll or pre-authorized bank transfer.
