Loan Product Fields—Additional Fields for Loans with Variable Terms based on Loan Cycle

Loan Product Fields—Additional Fields for Loans with Variable Terms based on Loan Cycle

I raised an issue regarding the inconsistent use of terminology (i.e., loan cycle vs borrower cycle).

Multiple variations for a Borrower Cycle can be set up for:

  • Principal amounts (minimum, default, maximum)
  • Number of Repayments (minimum, default, maximum)
  • Interest rate (minimum, default, maximum)

See Loan Product Fields—Additional Fields for Loans with Variable Terms based on Loan Cycle#Examples.
