• Key Concepts: 
  Fixed interest period is a feature of the FS-CML Loans Management component of SAP. It is a period of time during which the interest rate on a loan remains fixed. This means that the borrower will not be subject to any changes in the interest rate during this period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The fixed interest period can be set up in SAP by entering the start and end dates of the period, as well as the interest rate that will apply during this period. The interest rate can be set to a fixed amount or to a variable amount, depending on the needs of the borrower. Once the fixed interest period has been set up, it will remain in effect until it is changed or cancelled. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the fixed interest period only applies to loans with a fixed interest rate. If the loan has a variable interest rate, then the fixed interest period will not apply. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the start and end dates of the fixed interest period are entered correctly in SAP, as any changes made after this point may not be reflected in the loan agreement.
