- Determine the interest calculation periods that fall within this interest posting period. e.g. 1st of Jan to 31st of Jan, 1st of Feb to end of Feb etc
- For each interest calculation period we determine the applicable *interest calculation period detail*s. This will contain information such as account balance at start of period, and all applicable *End Of Day Detail*s for period.
- For each interest calculation period we also create an associated Interest Calculation Period Calculator which is solely responsible for calculating the interest earned/due for the given interest calculation period. The Savings Interest Details used by the calculator are taken directly from the savings product or if the savings products interest details have changed, its can use historical interest details. As a result, its is possible for adjust interest rates (or min interest required balance rule) and still calculate correctly the interest that was due in an interest calculation period that exists in the past.
