Variable Interest

This new financial feature in Interest Detail enables you to easily and automatically calculate variable interest rates on your accounts. You create the interest rate index table as a CSV and Collect! does the rest. Collect! calculates interest for one or several Principal transactions on each account, based on the rates and date ranges you set. The Transaction Payment Date, plus 1 day, is used as the start date for calculating. Collect! reads subsequent dates and rates from your interest table.

Please refer to Help topic, Variable Interest for setup instructions and other details.

Variable Interest is a licensed extension module.

Contact Sub-Plan

This new switch on the Contact Plan form enables you to designate plans that only run as part of a "master" plan. When you select the ACTION button on the Debtor form to run a contact plan, any plan that has "Sub-plan" switched ON will not show up in the list of Contact Plans the end user sees. This prevents your sub-plans from being selected and run by mistake.
