Using resources instead of expenses to track payments

Hello eveyone,
I need help figuring out how to set up a resource to track an expense that is paid out in installments.
Currently I have to create four different activities in a WBS and assign the corresponding expense for that timeline. I want to be able to assign a resource to a single activity and split how the payments are actually made to the vendor as these are large dollar amounts and we want a better way to track the cash flow.
I've tried to set this up but when I run the schedule, the dollar figures get changed and they grow exponentially.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

What is the payments system
What is the payments system you are trying to model? Are we talking X% on delivery, Y% on install, etc? Or $X per month for Y months? Or some other arrangement?
and please describe the procedure you've used which is erronously giving you exponential growth in $

I'm trying to make four
I'm trying to make four payments of 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% of the total spread out over 15 months.
As for the erroneous dollar figures, I realized it was due to how I set up the maximum units per time and I made adjustments. The issue is when I run the schedule after I split up the units to what I want them to be and where I want to see them, Primavera changes my resource usage and divides up my units again.
