    The Interest screen displays.

    To calculate interest for an account, you must apply an interest product code on the account. To recall, every interest product code that you create is linked to an interest rule. The logic to calculate interest is built into an interest rule. When you apply an interest product code on the account, interest for the account will be calculated according to the interest rule definition.

    The interest rule that is linked to the product(s) will determine the interest that is applied on the account. You may want to apply more than one interest product code on an account. For example, you may want to pay credit interest on the credit balance maintained in a current account and levy a debit interest if the account lapses into a debit balance. In order to achieve this, you would have to apply two product codes (one defined for credit interest and another defined for debit interest). In this screen, you can choose the interest product codes that you want to apply on the account.
