Step 1
Choose the agreed cadence
Open Accrual cadence
Daily, Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly
Follow your actual agreement
The real cadence picker offers Daily, Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly.
Cadence is when tracked interest posts; it is not a payment schedule sent to your bank.
Step 2
Convert years and months
Use the Yr or Mo selector
Review the converted duration
Do not silently change tenure
The real years and months selector converts the duration rather than creating another term.
Review the converted value and use a duration aligned with your selected cadence.
Step 3
Reject misaligned tenure
Select a valid aligned duration
Read the real validation
Keep storage unchanged
An incompatible Quarterly tenure is rejected by the real validation.
Use a whole supported interval; Cancel or correct the draft before saving.
Step 4
Reject a future start
Set an actual tracking start
Do not post future interest
Keep transaction rules separate
A future tracking start date is refused by the actual editor's date control.
Category start-date setup is not the separate thirty-day backdating rule for historical transactions.
