  • No conditions exist on the COTAX record to prevent an automatic reallocation being made. For more information on this subject see section ‘Inhibit Automatic Process’ COM120030

COTAX will

Situation Result
When the normal due date of the receiving AP is the same or earlier than the normal due date of the overpaid AP COTAX will not add any RPI. The EDP of the reallocation posting on the receiving AP will be the same as the EDP of the original posting on the overpaid AP
When the normal due date of the receiving AP is later than that of the overpaid AP, but earlier than the date of reallocation For a payment with an EDP earlier than the normal due date of the receiving AP. RPI will be calculated up to the normal due date of the receiving AP. The EDP of the reallocation posting on the receiving AP will be the normal due date of the receiving AP
For a payment made on or after the normal due date of the receiving AP No RPI will be added The EDP of the reallocation posting on the receiving AP will be the same as the EDP of the original posting on the overpaid AP
When the normal due date of the receiving AP is later than that of the overpaid AP, and later than the date of reallocation RPI will be added to the date of the reallocation The EDP of the reallocation on the receiving AP will be the date of the reallocation

Notes:

1. When repayment interest is reallocated the EDP of the posting on the receiving AP will always be the date of the reallocation
