Scheduled vs. Actual Payment

    Capturing contractual due amounts and cash actually received.

    Context matters

    The scheduled payment shows what is due this cycle; the actual payment captures what cleared. For open and revolving products in deferral, the scheduled amount may be zero. Consistency improves affordability analytics.

    Posting lags

    If payments post after the as-of date, they belong to the next cycle; avoid mixing periods which can misstate delinquency.
