DMBM402090 - Interest: Charging interest – by IT system: Charging interest in SAFE: Amendments to Effective Date of Payment (EDP)


Where it is necessary to change the EDP of a payment on a SAFE record the payment must first be moved to Unallocated Payments. This is achieved by using the Reset Payment function. In resetting the payment any associated interest charge will automatically be reduced to nil except where the Interest Exception or Inhibit Interest signals have been set.

Where either of these signals is set the resetting of the payment will prompt an entry on the Clerical Interest worklist. The interest charge should be amended to zero using the Amend Charge function. Once the interest charge has been reduced to zero the EDP of the payment can be amended using the function Manage Charge and selecting Amend EDP.

If the charge is not subject to clerical interest auto clearing will automatically return the payment with the amended EDP to the charge and the interest position will be re-calculated. If the charge is subject to clerical interest auto clearing will still return the payment with the amended EDP to the charge and this will prompt an entry on the Clerical Interest worklist.

EDPs can only be amended by the SAFE team.
