Configuring the Interest Calculations Procedure
This configuration allows you to charge interest on overdue customer accounts. Interest can be
calculated by using the line items or overall account balances. SAP keep tracks of the date of the
last interest run and stores it in the customer master record.
First create an Interest Indicator.
• OB46 - Interest Settlement Calculation Type
Int Calc. Type
P - calculate interest based on line items.
S - calculate interest based on account balances.
Secornd, make it avaliable to the interest run program.
• OB82 - Interest Terms
Third, determine the interest rate that will be used by the calculation.
• OBAC - Define Reference Interest Rates
• OB83 - Enter the Reference Interest Rates Value
Fourth, assign the interest indicator to the reference interest rate.
• OB81 - Define Time Dependent Terms
Finally, determine the how and to which accounts the interest program will post.
• OBV1 - Prepare Interest on Arrears Calculation
Steps for Calculation of Arrers/Item Interest
Here are steps for interest calculation:
1. Define terms of payments:
T.code: OBB8
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :->outgoing invoice and credit memo
:-> maintain terms of payment
2. Define Interest Cal indicators / type:
T.code: ob46
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :-> interest calculation global
settings :-> define interest cal types
here in int cal type select 'p' for int cal on line items
3. Make Interest Indicator Available to Interest Run Program:
T.Code: ob82
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :-> interest calculation global
settings :-> prepare int. on arreas
4. Create Reference Interest Rate:
T.code: OBAC
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :-> interest calculation :-> interest
calculation -> define reference interest rate
5. Assign interest indicators to ref. int rate or define time dependant terms:
T.code: ob81
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :-> interest calculation :-> interest
calculation -> define time dependant terms
here in sequnece # always use 1 for line item interest
6. Interest calculation account assignment:
Here we will mention how and which accounts the interest program should post.
T.code: obv1
path: img ->fin. accting -> AP AR :-> Business transactions :-> interest calculation :-> interest
posting -> prepare interest on arreas calculation (customers)
