Documentation

Definition

Enter the number of periods that should lie between two consecutive payments.

Use

The interval in periods is used in conjunction with the first payment period field to determine all payment periods.

If you make no entry about intervals in periods, a repayment occurs in every period from the first payment period.

Supplementary Documentation - DZNPER 0014

Definition

In the Interval field, enter the interval at which a recurring payment or deduction is to be transferred starting from the First payment period.

Use

This interval must always be used in conjunction with the first payment period. The following combinations are possible:

  1. You enter no 1st period and no interval:
    The recurring payment/deduction is processed in each period.
  2. You enter the 1st period and no interval:
    The recurring payment/deduction is processed only in the first payment period.
    Example:
    1st payment period: 12
    Interval..........: Blank
    The recurring payment/deduction is always processed in period 12.
  3. You specify the 1st period and an interval:
    The following payment periods are calculated from the 1st payment period + interval, 2nd payment period + interval, 3rd payment period + interval etc.
    Example:
    1st payment period: 05
    Interval..........: 01
    The recurring payment/deduction is processed in periods 05, 06, 07, 08 etc.

Note: In the following year, processing begins with the first payment period.
