Loan contracts

Sometimes, to support and speed up development of your business, you may need to borrow money from another company for a short term without collateral. With such a loan, for the period you agreed with your lender, your company can fill up its working capital, while your lender can earn extra money by interest and an optional commission your company pays to them for the loan.

Alternatively, if your company wants to support and retain its staff members, you can lend the money to your employees as a short-term loan and also get your interest. In either scenario, to have a clear picture of the financial health and forecast of your company, you need to register such loans in 1C:Drive as they affect your company's balance sheet, cash flow, and income statement.

To keep records of a loan you agreed upon with your counterparty or employee, register a loan contract in 1C:Drive. A loan contract defines whether your company is a borrower or a lender and specifies all the terms according to which you are to receive or issue the loan, pay for it, or get payments for it. Of course, you first come to an agreement on the loan details and then keep records of them in the loan contract.

The loan contract becomes the source document from which you generate documents that describe the accruals schedule and payments schedule and the actual accruals and payments.

Creating loan contracts as a borrower

To register a loan contract under which your company borrows money:

Go to Cash management > Loan management > Loan contracts.
Click Create.
In the Loan type list, click Borrowed.
In the Lender list, click the counterparty company that lends the money to your company.
Specify loan terms.
For more information, see Managing loan terms of loan contracts.
Specify repayment terms.
For more information, see Managing repayment terms of loan contracts.
Specify GL accounts for tracking the loan's accruals and payments.
For more information, see Managing GL accounts of loan contracts.
Click Post.

Note. Posting a loan contract adds records of the loan installments to the Loan installments information register.

Creating loan contracts as a lender

To register a loan contract under which your company lends money:

Go to Cash management > Loan management > Loan contracts.
Click Create.
From the Loan type drop-down list, select either of the following:
- Lent to employee. A loan provided to a company's employee.
- Lent to counterparty. A loan provided to another company.
Depending on your choice on step 3, from the Employee or Borrower drop-down list, select an employee or a company that borrows money.
Specify loan terms.
For more information, see Managing loan terms of loan contracts.
Specify repayment terms.
For more information, see Managing repayment terms of loan contracts.
Specify GL accounts for tracking the loan's accruals and payments.
For more information, see Managing GL accounts of loan contracts.
Click Post.

Note. Posting a loan contract adds records of the loan installments to the Loan installments information register.

Managing loan terms of loan contracts

For each loan contract, specify its loan terms. To do this, use the Loan terms tab of the loan contract:

Currency. The loan currency.
Principal. The amount of money you borrow or lend.
Annual interest, %. The annual interest of the loan, in percent.
Commission. The type of the commission you are to pay for the loan you borrow. Available values:
- No. No commission.
- Amount (per month). The fixed amount each month.
- % of principal (per month). The percentage of the loan principal each month.
- % of principal balance (per month). The percentage of the remaining principal due on the loan each month.
- Custom schedule of repayments terms tab. You specify the commission according to the custom installments.
Amount. The amount of the commission you are to pay for the loan you borrow, in terms of money or in percent, depending on the commission type.
Issued on. The date when the lender issues the loan.
For the period. The number of months during which the borrower is to repay the loan completely.
Maturity. The final date when the borrower is to repay the loan completely.
First repayment. The date when the borrower is to make the first payment of the loan.

Managing repayment terms of loan contracts

The repayment terms of a loan contract define the installments. They use the loan terms of the loan contract for calculating the schedule.

To specify the repayment terms, use the Repayment terms tab of the loan contract:

One-time (on maturity date). Click this if the loan is to be repaid once on the maturity date. Thus, by default, the installments contains only one record.
Monthly. Click this if the loan is to be repaid on the monthly basis.
Charge from salary. Select this check box to automatically deduct payments for the loan your company provides to its employee from the employee's salary.
As in loan calculators (360 days a year). Select this check box to use the Earning convention where a year has 360 days and 12 months, each having 30 days. This helps you budget the amount of interest accrued on accounts payable or accounts receivable evenly across the financial year. Otherwise, a year has 365 or 366 days for the installments.
This check box is available if the Settings > Accounting settings > Payroll > Enable Payroll subsystem option is turned on.
Payments. Specify the payment type for the loan that is repaid monthly, and then click Fill to automatically fill in the instalments. Available values:
- Annuity payments. Equal payments every month up to the maturity date. A payment includes principal and interest. Their ratio is different for each payment.
- Fixed principal payment. Equal principal payments every month up to the maturity date plus the interest.
- Only interest (principal on maturity date). Equal interest payments every month up to the maturity day and repayment of the entire principal on the maturity date.
- Only principal (interest on maturity date). Equal principal payments every month up to the maturity day and repayment of the entire interest on the maturity date.
- Custom installments. Arbitrary installments.

You can change and delete installments.

To add a record to the installments:

Click Add and specify the payment record details.

If you change records in the installments manually (rather than by using the Fill button), you need to update the loan repayment balance after that. To do this:

In the More actions menu of the Repayment terms tab, click Update comments.

1C:Drive updates the loan repayment balance in the Comment column.

For instance, if your employee or your company makes an early repayment of a loan, you have to manually correct the installments of the loan contract. This will allow you to keep generating documents based on the loan contract with accurate amounts. Otherwise, you will have to manually correct the amounts in payments and accruals every time you generate the documents.

Managing GL accounts of loan contracts

When creating and configuring a loan contract, you also need to specify the general ledger (GL) accounts that you want to use to keep records of the operations related to the loan.

Before selecting the GL accounts, make sure that you created a chart of accounts in 1C:Drive.

For the loan contract, on the GL accounts tab, select the accounts you want to use:

Principal GL account
Interest GL account
Commission GL account

This field is available if you specify the commission in the loan terms of the contract.
Expense account
Deduction (principal debt)

This field is available if you select the Charge from salary check box in the repayment terms of the contract for the loan you lend.

Viewing loan contract totals

After you specify the loan terms and repayment terms of a loan contract, 1C:Drive automatically calculates and displays totals for the contract in the bottom line, in money terms:

Principal. The total principal amount.
Interest. The total interest amount.
Commission. The total commission amount.
Total amount. Principal + interest + commission.

This lets you estimate whether the loan contract matches your needs.

Managing loan payment reminders

After you specify the installments for a loan contract, you may need to set reminders that will notify you that it is time to pay or get a payment for the loan. You can set reminders for the first payment or for all payments scheduled in the loan contract.

To be able to set reminders in 1C:Drive:

In the navigation menu bar, go to Settings.
Under Application settings, click Organizer.
Under Reminders and message templates, select the Reminders checkbox.

To view the list of reminders:

Go to Quick menu > My reminders.

Creating the first payment reminder

To create the first payment reminder for a loan contract:

Open the loan contract.
In the More actions menu of the loan contract, click More actions > Organizer > Remind.
Specify when 1C:Drive is to remind you about the first payment.
Click Save and close.

Creating reminders for all scheduled payments

To create reminders for all scheduled payments of a loan contract:

Open the loan contract.
Click the Repayment terms tab.
Click Create reminders.
Select whether to remind on the payment day or on the day before payment.
Specify the reminder time.
Select the user who will get the reminder.
Click Create payment reminders.
Click Close.

1C:Drive creates reminders for all installments at once.

Create a for the loan's interest and commission.
Register your payments for the loan (in cash or via a bank transfer) according to the installments defined in the contract.

Receiving borrowed loans in cash

To register the fact of receiving a loan in cash:

Open the loan contract.
Click Generate and then click Cash receipt. 1C:Drive creates a cash receipt document based on the loan contract and populates it.

Note that the Operation field has the Loan borrowed value.
In the Cash account list, click the account to which you receive the money in cash.
In the Amount field, specify the amount of money you receive.
Click Post.

On the Loan account statement tab, 1C:Drive displays the total loan amount according to the contract and the remaining amount of the loan you have to receive.

Receiving borrowed loans via bank transfer

To register the fact of receiving a loan via a bank transfer:

Open the loan contract.
Click Generate and then click Bank receipt.
1C:Drive creates a bank receipt document based on the loan contract and populates it. Note that the Operation field has the Loan borrowed value.
In the Account list, click the bank account to which you receive the money.
In the Amount field, specify the amount of money you receive.
If the bank that serves your account charges you for receiving the money, select the Bank fee checkbox and then, under Bank fees, fill the Bank fee type, Cash flow item, and Amount fields.
Click Post.

On the Borrowed loan details tab, 1C:Drive displays the total loan amount according to the contract and the remaining amount of the loan you have to receive.

Creating accruals for borrowed loans

Typically, a loan contract includes an interest you are to pay for the loan you borrow. Also, the contract can include a commission. So, for such loans, interest and commission serve as your expense.

To register accruals for such interest and commission in 1C:Drive, use the loan interest (commission) Earning documents. You can create such accruals based on particular loan contracts.

To create accruals for one or several borrowed loans:

Go to Cash management > Loan management > Loan interest (commission) accruals.
Click Create.
In the Operation list, click accruals for loans borrowed.
Specify the start and end of the Earning period.
On the Accruals tab, click Fill.
In the Fill in Accruals dialog box, do any the following:
- In the Lender list, click the lender whose loans you want to apply.
- In the Loan contract list, click the borrowed loan contract you want to apply.
The document will list only accruals for the selected lender and contracts. If you do not select any, it will contains the accruals for all lenders and contracts.
Click Apply.

1C:Drive creates a cash voucher based on the loan contract or the Earning and populates it. Note that the Operation field has the Loan repayment value.

Since an Earning does not include principal and can include just interest and commission, generating a cash voucher based on the Earning makes sense if the loan contract's payment type is Only interest (principal on maturity date).
In the Cash account list, click the account from which you pay the money in cash.
On the Payment details tab, 1C:Drive displays the debt balance according to the loan contract and information about the next payment: date and amounts to pay for principal, interest, and commission.

If 1C:Drive cannot distribute the entire amount, it adds a record with the remaining amount and a blank value in the Type of amount column.
- If you selected the Overwrite existing data check box and specified a zero amount in the Amount field, 1C:Drive populates the amount with the total of the Payment amount column.
- If you cleared the Overwrite existing data check box, 1C:Drive ignores the Amount field and populates the payment details according to the payment options you specified.
