Savings Number MaintenanceD2HML

C1H Conditional

platform=manual
Savings Number Maintenance provides a unique sequential audit trail control for all the savings transactions generated and will not allow duplicate numbers to be processed. You are allowed to select the number prefix and starting number for each transaction type. All numbers being issued are validated to insure that they are truly unique, and that they support multi-user processing.
Once a number is created and used, it will be locked and you will not be able to manipulate it. However, the numbering system provides a way that you could "reset" or "restart" the numbering from a specific point.

      • WDR For Withdrawal
      • INT for Interest
      • IAJ for Interest Adjustment
      • ADJ for Adjustment
      • TRF for Transfer
  3. Document Number, is the beginning document number to be used for the sequence.

  9. Scrolling window:
    • Account Number, the account the interest accrual will be calculated for.
    • Account Description is the description associated with the Account Number.
    • Balance is the balance as of the Accrued Interest Thru date.
      • In cases, where the starting date is the date of an interest rate change, then the account balance is the balance of the last transaction prior to the effective interest rate change.
      • In cases, where multiple transactions exist for the same effective date, the Account balance for that day is the account balance from the last transaction entered for the day.
      • System supports the ability to Compound Interest by posting the Accrued Interest to the account.
        • When posting interest the system will create an "Interest" transaction, the Account balance will increase and the system will accrue future interest on the new balance.
    • Accrued Interest is the amount of interest that has accrued since the last interest posted date and the selected Accrue Interest Thru Date in the header.
      • Interest Calculation:
        • System will calculate the interest on a daily basis. The formula is: ((Interest Rate / Days Per Year on the Plan) X Number of Days X Account Balance)). Every time the account balance changes, the system will accrue the interest based on the new Balance.
        • Every time the Rate changes, the system will accrue interest based on the new rate.
          • System will look to the interest rate table and use the rate as entered from the effective date until the effective date of the next entered rate.
      • Number of Days is the Ending Date less Starting Date. System will use Effective Date when figuring interest. System will loop though all transactions since the last Interest accrual transaction.
        • Starting Date will be the earlier of:
          • The day after the last interest accrual transaction. If no interest accrual transactions exist, it will be the effective date of the first transaction in the system.
          • The effective date of an interest rate change.
        • Ending date will be the lesser of:
          • The effective date of the transaction immediately following the starting date.
          • The effective date of an interest rate change.
          • The effective date of the interest accrual. (Entered by user i.e. April 30th, 2009). User will tell system to post interest up until a certain date.
      • System will use the whole day concept:
        • If money was deposited on one day and withdrawn on the same date, no interest would be accrued for that day. Zero days have passed.
        • If money was deposited on one day and withdrawn the next, the system will figure interest for one day. It will NOT count both the first day and the last day.
    • Create AP
      • Checkbox, by default, will be checked if the Savings Account Maintenance's Interest Option is set to Generate Check.
      • If this checkbox is marked and the line is selected the system will post the interest to a general ledger transaction and a withdrawal (payables) transaction will be created.
      • If this checkbox is not marked and the line is selected the system will just post the interest to a general ledger transaction.
    • Select checkbox, must be checked if the user wishes to process the interest for the account line.
      • A user will not be able to select plan that has un-posted transactions.
    • The select checkbox in the scrolling window header will select all acceptable lines if it is checked or unmark all if it is unchecked.
    • The Distribution icon in the scrolling window header is a drop down list with the following options:
      • GL Distributions, when selected will open the Transaction Distribution window where the general ledger distributions can be viewed or modified. The Accounts will default from the Plan ID (Plan Maintenance) associated to the account number.

Loan Number Maintenance

Loan Number MaintenanceD2HML|C1H Conditional|platform=manual

Loan Number Setup provides a unique sequential audit trail control for all the loan transactions generated and will not allow duplicate numbers to be processed. You are allowed to select the number prefix and starting number for each transaction type. All numbers being issued are validated to insure that they are truly unique, and that they support multi-user processing.
Once a number is created and used it will be locked and you will not be able to manipulate it. However, the numbering system provides a way that you could "reset" or "restart" the numbering from a specific point.

Setting up Loan Numbers
  1. Open Loan Number Setup.

(Microsoft Dynamics GP>Tools>Setup>Savings and Loan>Loan Trx Number Setup)

  1. Trx Type, select the transaction type from the drop down list. Options are:
    • Advance
    • Payment
    • Interest
    • Adjustment
    • Transfer
    • Rollover
  2. Number Prefix, enter up to a three character code that will display at the beginning of all transaction numbers for the specified Trx Type.
    • If there is no record found for a transaction type when selected the system will default in the following values:
      • ADV for Advance
      • PMT for Payment
      • INT for Interest
      • ADJ for Adjustment
      • TRF for Transfer
      • ROL for Rollover
  3. Document Number, is the beginning document number to be used for the sequence.
    • If no record has been saved yet for a given transaction type the system will default 0000001 as the starting number.
  4. Next Number, this is the next document number that the system will assign to a loan transaction of the specific type.
    • This will be the full number with the prefix so when a number is set in the document number field this one will default.
  5. Save button, will save the current changes made for the Trx Type record.
  6. Clear button, will clear the window, ignoring any changes made.

  7. All Accounts checkbox, when marked all Accounts will be included.
    • By default the All Accounts checkbox is marked.
  8. Accrue Interest Thru, the date interest will be calculated through when calculating the Accrued Interest column of the scrolling window.
  9. Batch, the loan batch that the interest transactions will be added to.
  10. Scrolling window:
    • Account Number, the account the interest accrual will be calculated for.
    • Account Description is the description associated with the Account Number.
    • Balance is the principle balance of the account on the Accrue Interest Thru date.
    • Accrued Interest is the amount of interest that has accrued since the last interest posted date and the selected Accrue Interest Thru Date in the header.
      • Interest Calculation:
        • System will calculate the interest on a daily basis. The formula is: ((Interest Rate / Days Per Year on the Plan) X number of Days X Account Balance)). Every time the account balance changes, the system will accrue the interest based on the new Balance.
        • Every time the Rate changes, the system will accrue interest based on the new rate.
          • System will look to the interest rate table and use the rate as entered from the effective date until the effective date of the next entered rate.
      • Number of Days is the Ending Date less Starting Date. System will use Effective Date when figuring interest. System will loop though all transactions since the last Interest accrual transaction.
        • Starting Date will be the earlier of:
          • The day after the last interest accrual transaction. If no interest accrual transactions exist, it will be the effective date of the first transaction in the system.
          • The effective date of an interest rate change.
        • Ending date will be the lesser of:
          • The effective date of the transaction immediately following the starting date.
          • The effective date of an interest rate change.
          • The effective date of the interest accrual. (Entered by user) User will tell system to post interest up until a certain date.
      • System will use the whole day concept:
        • If money was advanced on one day and repaid on the same date, no interest would be accrued for that day. Zero days have passed.
        • If money was advanced on one day and repaid the next, the system will figure interest for one day. It will NOT count both the first day and the last day.
    • Interest Due is the amount that will be compounded and is the total Calculated Interest plus/minus Interest Adjustments minus Interest Payments.
    • Select checkbox, must be checked if the user wishes to process the interest for the account line.
      • User will not be allowed to select an account that has unposted transactions.
    • The select checkbox in the scrolling window header will select all if it is checked or unmark all if it is unchecked.
    • The GL Distribution icon in the scrolling window header when selected will open the Loan Transaction Distributions window where the general ledger distributions can be viewed or modified.

  12. Clear, clears the window without saving or processing any changes.
  13. Redisplay, refreshes the scrolling window based on the selected restrictions.
  14. Process, when selected the following will occur:
    • An interest transaction will be created for each selected Account Number for the amount of the Accrued Interest value.
      • Transaction Date. System will record the date that the accrual was run (user Date).
      • Effective Date: will be the "Accrue Interest Thru" date.
        • It is possible to have multiple transactions on the same effective date. In that case, system will use the date and the balance from the last transaction entered for that day (because the system will keep a running balance on each transaction record, the last one entered will have the correct balance for the end of the day).
        • The balance used will be the balance at the beginning of the day.
      • Transaction Type: will be Interest.
      • The Account balance will increase and the system will accrue deferred interest on the new balance.
    • For Loan Interest:
      • Loan Interest Accrual, the monthly accrual of interest.
        • Debit Accrued Loan interest Receivable
        • Credit Interest Income
      • Loan Interest Posting.
        • Debit Customer Loans
        • Credit Accrued Loan interest Receivable
