Definition

Specifies the method that is used to calculate interest for this loan condition.

Use

You can specify the interest calculation method for a certain loan condition in this field. Alternatively, you can specify the interest calculation method for your whole system or for certain loan types or loan conditions using the feature INTLO (HR Loans: Interest Calculation Method). You can find the feature in Customizing for Loans under Specify Interest Calculation Method.

You can select one of the following methods here:

Method    Interest Days/Month    Interest Days Base/Year

30/365    30    365

30/360    30    360

act/360    for exact day    360

act/365    for exact day    365

act/actY    for exact day    for exact day

Dependencies

If you specify an interest calculation method here, the system uses this method for the loan condition instead of the method that you have specified in the INTLO feature.
