J2659 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: J2 - Message Class for Development Class JBT

• Message number: 659

• Message text: &4 Cash flow (category &1, date &2): Eff. interest rate not calculated

What causes this issue?

The effective interest for the cash flow cannot be calculated. This can
be caused by the following:
Settlement costing, in which all the transactions occurred on one day.
This can particularly apply to transactions without disbursement,
because in these cases the simulated disbursement of the current
settlement falls at the end of the fixed interest period.
Type one cash flow disturbance, in which the effective interest becomes
too high due to a very short remaining term. This can particularly
apply in the event of an early repayment in the form of an unscheduled
repayment, in which the disturbance date is one day before full
repayment.

System Response

Further analysis of the effected cash flow as part of costing is not
possible.
In the case of settlement costing, all costing results calculated so
far are deleted and periodization is automatically deactivated.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
