You can apply interest and fines on customer payments that are delayed. The interest and fine amounts that apply to a payment can be calculated when you receive a payment from a customer. Before you calculate interest or fine codes for customer payments, you must set up a list of bank holidays and national/regional holidays. A holiday date that is set up in the Payment calendar form is considered a non-working day. If an invoice is due on a non-working day, the due date moves to the next working day in the calendar, and the interest and fines are calculated accordingly. For more information, see the “Set up a payment calendar and payment calendar rules” section in (BRA) Set up interest and fines for customer payments. The interest and fine amounts can be calculated in two ways:
Manually enter the interest and fines – Enter the interest and fine amounts on the payment lines, in either the Settle open transactions form or the Customer payment proposal form. For more information, see (BRA) Settle open transactions - customer (modified form) and (BRA) Customer payment proposal - Edit (modified form).
Automatically calculate the interest and fines – Set up the interest and fine codes to calculate interest automatically, based on the rates and terms that are defined for the codes. You can define a default interest code and fine code for a customer, and attach the interest code and fine code to sales orders. For more information, see (BRA) Interest codes (form) and (BRA) Fine codes (form). To calculate interest and fine amounts, you must select the interest and fine codes on the payment lines in either the Settle open transactions form or the Customer payment proposal form. The automatic calculation of interest and fines takes into consideration the interest and fine codes, and the configuration of the payment calendar. For more information see About payment calendars and Payment calendar configuration - vendors and customers (form).
