Accrued interest is recognized as income for loan accounts and expenses for client deposit accounts. Interest is applied through transactions, automatically or manually, to update account balances. Automatic interest posting is controlled by product settings. To manually apply interest, open the account, go to More, Apply Accrued Interest, confirm the date, and select Apply. Interest applied transactions reflect accrued interest calculated based on product settings. To undo interest applied, adjust the corresponding transaction by opening the account, going to Transactions, selecting the transaction, choosing Actions, Adjust, adding a reason, and selecting Adjust Interest Applied.
Whenever accrued interest is applied on an account, it means that the interest has been recognized as income in the case of loan accounts or overdrafts and as an expense for interest paid to client deposit accounts.
When interest is posted, an Interest Applied transaction is created to update the account balances.
Automatic interest posting on accounts is controlled by the Loan or Deposit Product settings, please see the relevant settings for Loan and Deposit products.
Interest can also be applied manually, as described below.
