Setting up Interest Methods, Interest Days, and Principal and Interest

Setting up Interest Methods, Interest Days, and Principal and Interest

When you want to set up payments for a loan, the payment records have to be set up with a valid combination of the fields Interest Method, Interest Days, and Principal and Interest Type.  These fields are interdependent.  System field validation ensures that you select a valid combination of these fields. 

Note: If you import the payment records and do not set them up in the system, you will need to confirm the imported records contain the correct valid combinations.
