Process Loan Interest Accrual
Process Loan Interest Accrual is used to manually calculate and post interest accruals for loans up to a specified posting date. While interest accruals are generally processed automatically through scheduled background jobs, this process allows users to initiate accruals whenever required.
In Frappe Lending, users can run the Process Loan Interest Accrual document for all eligible loans or limit the processing to a specific loan or loan product.
Did You Know?
Manual interest accrual processing is useful after data migration, configuration changes, or when scheduled accrual jobs need to be rerun for a specific period.
Accessing Process Loan Interest Accrual
To manually process loan interest accruals, open the Process Loan Interest Accrual document from the Lending module.

Follow these steps to manually process loan interest accruals:
- Create a new Process Loan Interest Accrual document.

- Optionally select a Loan if accrual is required for a single loan.
- Optionally select a Loan Product to process accruals for loans belonging to a specific product.
