Can interest be charged only to certain customers?

I was wondering if there is a way to charge only certain customers interest?

We have some customers we wish to charge interest to, while other customers we don't.

We have multiple people working in Sage at any given time, so it is a huge pain to jump into and out of single user to print off/email statements with interest, then turn off the interest, then print/email the other statements...then switch back to multi user...

I really wish there was a check box under Options within each customer that you could select whether you want to charge this customer interest or not.  Just like there is a check box to select if you want to Produce Statements for this Customer.  I feel this could be a very helpful feature.

    Sorry Dewdl,

    The box you indicates is under the Payment terms and has nothing to do with calculating interest.  It is designed to tell the customer how long they have to pay the invoice.

    If someone uses the % Discount and Days boxes, then they can indicate something like 2%10, Net 30, meaning the customer has to pay the invoice in 30 days but if they pay early, they can take a 2% discount off the subtotal of the invoice.  This does not add on interest charges for late payments.

    if this box s clicked and you have ABC Plumbing with statement that is showing an outstanding invoice, from the statement you will see the calculated interest.  Which then you have to produce and invoice for the interest it will not self generate from system.
