	var term = prompt("Enter Term");
          
	var actualTermValue = 408260000;	  
	if(parseInt(term)==1)	
		actualTermValue = 408260000;
    else if (parseInt(term)==2)

		var data =
            {

                "soft_duedate" : new Date(),
                "soft_terms" : parseInt(actualTermValue)          
            }
            
            var confirmStrings = { text:"Are you sure you want to create payment for student?", title:"Confirm Payment" };
            var confirmOptions = { height: 300, width: 500 };
            
			Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
            function (success) {    
                if (success.confirmed)
                {
					Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Wait.. Creating Payment");

                    Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("soft_studentpayment", data).then(
                        function success(result) {
							
                              var alertStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: "Yes", text: "Payment Created", title: "Message" };
                              var alertOptions = { height: 120, width: 260 };
                              Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings, alertOptions).then(
                                  function (success) {
                                      console.log("Alert dialog closed");
									  setTimeout(function (){Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator();},10000);
                                   },
                                  function (error) {
                                       console.log(error.message);
                                   }
                               );
							   Xrm.Utility.closeProgressIndicator();
                        },
                        function (error) {
                            alert(error.message);
                        }
                    );
					


                 }
                else
                    console.log("Dialog closed using Cancel button or X.");
