Incident: RC 0, but the interest does not reconcile

Finance: daily interest does not reconcile with the treasury control total
INTPOST ended RC=0000 overnight; no abends, no errors

INTPOST computes daily interest on 200 savings accounts (balance × annual rate ÷ 365) and totals it. It ended RC 0 with no messages, but Finance says the total is lower than the treasury control total in PROD.RECON.CONTROL, which rounds each account's interest to the cent. Find out why, fix INTCALC, and make the totals agree exactly.

What you will do

  1. Compare the run with the control total
  2. Find where the cents go
  3. Fix the calculation and reconcile
