Factor Interest on Deposits
Summary
The Factor Deposit Interest feature is used to accrue interest on customer deposits. The interest rate used
to calculate the accrued interest is the interest rate attached to the deposit
fee code used to generate the deposit (UB> Maintenance> Fee Code> Percentage Amount field). If you do not want to factor interest
using the interest rate attached to the deposit fee code used to generate the
deposit, you can select a different deposit fee code. The factored interest on
the deposits can be applied to the deposits (increases the deposit amount), or
it can be applied to the customer account (lower the customer account balance).
This will affect the journal entry generated by the process.
Before you use the Factor Deposit Interest feature, you must have the following set up: a deposit
adjustment type in the Setup window (UB> Utilities> Setup> General tab> Apply
Deposit Adjustment Type field), a fee code labeled INT and interest
rates attached to the deposit fee codes you would like to factor interest on
(UB> Maintenance> Fee Code> Percentage Amount
field). The charge service on the deposit fee codes must also be attached to the
UB customer accounts you would like to factor interest on (UB> Maintenance> Fee
Code> Select a deposit fee code> Service to Charge field).
The deposit adjustment type selected in the Setup window affects the journal entries created in the factor
deposit interest process. The GL accounts attached to the INT fee code will be
used to record the interest amount if you choose to decrease the UB customer
account balance. And the interest rate attached to the deposit fee codes you
would like to factor interest on will be used to calculate interest on the
deposit amounts.
The process will create the following journal entry based on how the interest will be applied:

If the deposit adjustment type selected in the Setup window (UB> Utilities> Setup> General tab> Apply
Deposit Adjustment Type field) is set up as a Bill rather than Cash type (UB>
Maintenance> Adjustment Type> Select the deposit adjustment type> GL Type drop-down menu) the Revenue account on the service rate will be debited
instead of the cash account attached to the service rate.
Interest can also be factored when the deposit is being refunded (UB> Refunds).

Step by Step
2 Factor interest on selected customer accounts.
- Open the Factor Deposit Interest window (UB> Adjustments and Fees> Factor Deposit Interest).
- Select the billing cycles you would like to include the process in the Cycles field. You can also accrue
interest on a single UB customer account by using the Account Number field.
- Press CTRL+A to highlight all of the toggles in the fields. Press SPACE to check or uncheck the highlighted
toggles.
- Select the deposit codes you would like to factor interest on in the Deposit Codes field.
- There must be an interest rate attached to the deposit fee code before it will display in the field. Interest
rates are attached to deposit fee codes in the Fee Code Maintenance window (UB>
Maintenance> Fee Code> Select the deposit fee code> Percentage Amount field).
- Click the Account Number field label to accrue interest on a single customer account. This will open a
window to select a customer account. Leave this field blank if you would like to
accrue interest on customer accounts by billing cycles.
- The Transaction Date field is used to enter the transaction date of the interest factored on the deposits.
- If you select Calculate Interest Since Last Time in the Calculate Interest Range drop-down menu, the date
entered in this field will determine how interest will be calculated on the
customer accounts.
- For example, if interest was last calculated on a customer account on 06/01/15 and 08/15/15 is entered in the Transaction Date field, interest will be calculated on the account
for 06/01/15 to 08/15/15.
- The Transaction Date field will default to the current date, but you can modify the date if you would
like to factor interest to a different date.
- The Use Alternate Interest Rate drop-down menu is used to select a deposit fee code that contains the interest
rate you would like to apply to the deposits. If there are multiple deposit fee
codes selected in the Deposit Codes field, the selected interest
rate will be applied to all of the deposit codes.
- Select None if you would like to apply the interest rate attached to the deposit fee code. Interest rates are
attached to deposit fee codes using the Fee Code Maintenance window (UB>
Maintenance> Fee Code> Percentage Amount field).
If there are multiple deposit fee codes selected in the Deposit Codes
field, the interest rate attached to each fee code will be used to calculate the
interest on the deposits.
- The GL accounts used to create the interest on the deposit codes will be pulled from the GL accounts attached to
the deposit fee codes. If you do not want to use the GL accounts attached to the
deposit fee codes, create a new deposit fee code with the correct GL accounts
and select it in the Use Alternative Interest Rate drop-down menu.

customer accounts in the batch.

interest to the customer account rather than the deposit. This will lower the
customer account balance, rather than increase the deposit amount.
