Inquiry on Interest Calculation using Interest on Arrears for Accounts Rece

Question

Question:How can we calculate interest on the number of days from the document date, but only start selecting the item for interest after the item is past due?
Scenario:
     Document date - March 18th
     Due date - April 2nd
Desired results:
1) When running interest at the end of march the invoice will not be selected (as it is not past due)
2) When running interest at the end of April, Interest should be assessed for 12 days for March and 30 days for April (if past due, interest is calculated from the original document date and not the past due date).
Attempt:
In config I tried to set up the Interest Indicator (in Prepare Item Interest Calculation) to have Ref Date as Document Date, but the calculation still returns only 19 days for April (using due date).
Does SAP support this business requirement?
Thank you,
Rachel

Hi,
Please make use of the event 2010-Interest: Exclude Items.
Here all the line items on the account are passed one by one and records which are eligible for interest calculations are retained and rest are excluded by RAISE item_blocked.
You can put the check in this event on the amount.
Regards,
Gaurav.
