Reamortize P/I
Entry: User, checkbox
F/M: Yes

Screen: Loans > Account Information > Account Detail > Payment Detail tab
Check this box if you want to allow a daily simple interest loan tied to prime to calculate a payment which will amortize the loan. For this field to be file maintainable, all the following conditions must be met:
•Loan must be payment method 6
•Loan cannot use ARM fields
•Loan cannot use payment schedules
•Loan must use Coupon/Bill Code 11 (free-format statement) on the Loans > Account Information > Additional Loan Fields screen
The effective date of the P/I payment will be the first due date greater than or equal to the rate change effective date. This will be true unless a bill has been sent out for that date. If a bill has been created, the new P/I payment will be effective for the next payment due.
If you have several rate changes within a month, the system will calculate the new P/I payment each time the rate changes. The new P/I payment will replace the value in the Next P/I Payment field until a billing for the current month has been created. Once the billing has been created, the newly calculated P/I will be placed in a table. This makes it so the payment doesn't change once the borrower has been notified as to the payment amount.
WARNING: The above-mentioned requirements for the Reamortize P/I field must be set up for a loan prior to file maintaining the field. If the requirements are not set up first, the Reamortize P/I field is not file maintainable.
Also, if the loan is set up for auto pay, the Coupon/Bill Code must continue to be set to "11." If you do not want to send a bill/receipt, you do not need to have a coupon cycle set up. However, if you do want to send the bill/receipt, FPS GOLD suggests that you use an advertising message to indicate that the payment will be automatically paid.
