Please find below scenarios and configurations for understanding floating rates better:-
Scenario 1: With Base lending rate
a) Floating Rate definition (Admin>>Product>>Floating Rate)
Base Lending Rate (Checked box) defined as shown in the image below
b) Loan Product definition (Admin>>Product>>Loan Product)
In the term section - Selected Floating rate is Base lending rate
- Differential Rate is 2% (Product level)
c) Loan Account definition (Client>>New Loan application)

- Is Floating Rate - Enabled (Checked box)
d) In the loan account page >> Floating interest rates

July 2,2015 - 13% = [10(Base interest rate) +2(Loan product level) +1(Loan account level)]
Aug 2,2015 - 14% = [11(Base interest rate) +2(Loan product level) +1(Loan account level)]
