Calculation of Interest on Security Deposits Maintained with Vendors

Question

Hi Friends,
We have some problem on Line Item Interest calculation.
We want to calculate Interest on Security Deposits(Spl GL) given to Vendors.
There is no Interest on Normal Items.
When we run Interest (f.47) it not calculating on cleared items eventhough we select interest for all items.
Example:
We paid Deposit on 01.01.2007 an amount of $10000
We recieved back total amount of Deposit($10000) on 15.02.2007
and when we run interest run (f.47) its not calculating any interest.
But we want to calculate interest for the period  the deposit outstanding i.e. from 01.01.2007 to 14.02.2007.
Can any one help us in this regards,
Thanks in Advance,

Answer 1

Hi
You may like to check the config from the below angles :
1) interest payment is produced if the credit interest (because of interest calculated on items paid before the due date) is greater than the debit interest.
2) Calculate interest on items paid before due date
Indicator which means that credit interest is calculated for items paid prior to their due date, provided that the item paid was not subject to a cash discount. Interest is calculated using credit interest rates.
Note
The system calculates credit interest only on those clearing transactions where all payments were made before the due date. If you do not select this option for those transactions then the items are ignored.
This option has no effect in the case of clearing transactions where payments are made both before and after the due date. For transactions such as these, interest is always calculated on the basis of debit interest.
For partial payments and down payment offsetting items that are made before the due date of the invoice, interest is calculated from the document date if this indicator is set. If it is not set, interest is calculated from the due date of the invoice.
3) Calculate Interest as of Due Date for Net Payment
Indicator which means that interest is calculated as of the due date for net payment; otherwise, you pay interest as of the settlement period lower limit (if the due date for net payment is before it) or as of the date of the last (according to the master record) interest caluclation (if the corresponding parameter is set).
