Important Considerations & Best Practices

Before adding any transaction, you should know/have the following details:
- Transaction Details: Transaction Type & Transaction Category
- Amount: Is this a positive or negative amount
- Dates: Due Date & Effective Date (usually the same)
- Expect Pay and Add to Loan Balance Flags:
- Expect Pay: (Check box if the borrower is expected to pay this amount).
- Add to Loan Balance: (Check the box if the amount should increase the borrower's loan balance.)
- Requests coming from non-accounting team members: Loop in and get approval from accounting leadership for any requests where the effective date is not for the same day
