Loan interest/repayment

The loan interest/repayment transaction type belongs to the"Special investments".

To enter the associated interest and repayments for loans that have already been entered, proceed as follows:

1. Open the "Enter transactions" worksheet as described above in the section Enter transactions and select the desired holder if necessary.
2. Open the ACCOUNT menu in the "Enter transactions" worksheet.
3. Select the transaction type CREDIT INTEREST/REPAYMENT at Account transaction types .
   Use the keyboard to enter loan interest and repayments with the "Enter transactions" worksheet open as follows: Press the key combination <CTRL>+<2> for the account transaction types. Then press the button<I>.
   The "Loan interest/repayment" dialog box appears.
   

   

4. Select the desired loan in the "Loan" field. In this selection list you will only see the open loans. (A loan is open until it is repaid to 0)
5. Enter interest and/or amortization. Entries in the "Interest" and "Repayment" fields result in two separate postings. When resubmitting later, the selected type is shown and the other is hidden.
   

   You can transfer the displayed residual value of the loan to the "Repayment" field using the "Transfer residual value" button.

   The currency is always the currency of the loan that you defined when you took out the loan. This means that the currency combination is always credit currency -> account currency. As with the other dialogs, the exchange rate can be entered on both sides.

   The credit account number displayed here also originates from the information provided when the loan was taken out.

6. Enter a meaningful comment in the "Comment" input field; this will appear, for example, in the Ertragsaufstellung for this transaction.
7. Finally, confirm the entries with the "Enter" button.
