Examples - overdue fees

Overdue fees can either be fixed or per day. It is also possible to define different amounts depending on the length of the delay by setting different periods on the rules. It is the rule with the period that matches the overdue period that will be used, not a combination if the overdue period overlaps several rule periods.

Fixed fee in combination with periods

In this example, a delayed item should generate a fixed fee of:

  • 10:- if the delay is up to 7 days (Period=7)

  • 20:- if the delay is up to 14 days (Period=14)

  • 30:- if the delay is more than 14 days (Period=9999)

An item that is delayed 4 days will get an overdue fee of 10:-

An item that is delayed 10 days will get an overdue fee of 20:-

An item that is delayed 30 days will get an overdue fee of 30:-

Charge per day in combination with periods

In this example, a delayed item should generate a charge per day of:

  • 1:-/day if the delay is up to 7 days (Period=7)

  • 2:-/day if the delay is up to 14 days (Period=14)

  • 3:-/day if the delay is more than 14 days (Period=9999).

An item that is delayed 4 days will get an overdue fee of 4:- (1:- * 4 days)

An item that is delayed 10 days will get an overdue fee of 20:- (2:- * 10 days)

An item that is delayed 30 days will get an overdue fee of 90:- (3:- * 30 days)
