Editing Interim Limits

Use

The interim limit is a temporary increase in the limit, which can be converted into a new limit. Interim limits have their own release and approval procedure that you can use for a simplified organizational process.

You can generate more than one interim limit for a limit. They can have overlapping time periods. You can also assign these interim limits different currencies.
