Minimum Term

Optionally enter the minimum term for new accounts of this Account Type.

Max Term

Optionally enter the maximum term for new accounts of this Account Type.

Options

Tick the "Allow Payment Arrangement to extend Term?" checkbox, to allow the Account to extend past the current Maturity date in the Payment Arrangement wizard.

  • If an Account is already past its maturity date then it will always be past its maturity date.
  • This setting does not apply to Payment Promises. However, it does apply to the Account Withdrawal wizard if the regular payment is changed.

Additionally, there is a permission key that when switched on, allows the user to proceed regardless of this Account Type setting. The permission key is Account.PaymentArrangementAllowFinalPostMaturity.

If Term is selected as the Method (at the top of the page), then when adding a new Account (or Quote Account) the First Payment period is updated to match the payment frequency where possible. The following conversions are made:

  • 1 year = 12 months = 26 fortnights = 52 weeks (and any multiples thereof, this is actually first multiple of 6m, but includes years)
  • 9 months = 39 weeks
  • 6 months = 13 fortnights = 26 weeks
  • 3 months = 13 weeks
  • 2 months = 4 fortnights = 8 weeks
  • 1 months = 2 fortnights = 4 weeks
