Executing the Interest Scale Program 

To run the interest calculation program, proceed from the SAP Cash and Liquidity Management screen, as follows:

...

       1.      Choose Check ® Interest calculation.

On the initial screen, you specify the following entries:

Selection (Matchcode selection)

To limit the number of accounts included in the interest calculation, enter an interval or an individual value for the chart of accounts, G/L account number, company code, interest indicator, and business area. Note that the system generally includes only those accounts that have an interest indicator in the master record for the interest calculation and that are managed with line item display.

Calculation period

Here you specify the period in which interest should be calculated.

Day of last interest run

This entry is only necessary if you have not entered the date in the master record. The system uses this date to determine whether certain items should be processed as value dates in the past.

Update master record data

The system only updates interest calculation data in the G/L account master records (see section "Fields in the master record") if you select the Update master record field and specify a batch input session name in the Session name field. You should always select this option if you want the system to determine the calculation period automatically.

Post interest settlements

Select this parameter if you want to post interest received or interest paid to the appropriate G/L accounts via batch input.

       2.      Specify the required data.

       3.      To carry out the interest calculation, choose Program ® Execute.
