Monthly Billing Amount - Principal Transaction Type

When posting a 160, Monthly Billing Amount principal transaction to a debtor account, the description from the transaction type form will be copied to the transaction being posted.

The 'Use dollar amounts' radio button is switched ON to allow you set the amount you wish to be used at the time of posting the transaction. In this sample, -$53.20 will be automatically filled into the To Us field when posting.

Entering a negative amount in either the To Us or Direct field will add to the debtor's Principal amount. If more than one of these transaction types is posted to an account, the total will be calculated automatically and displayed in the Principal field on the Debtor form.

Entering a positive amount will reduce the amount of Principal. Interest will be recalculated accordingly.

Interest, if used, is calculated from the Payment Date entered when the transaction is posted and the amount entered in the To Us or Direct field. If you are using multiple principal transactions, interest is calculated on the resulting principal total after each transaction's payment date. For more details please see Interest Detail and documentation for specific types of interest.
