As far as i know is the interest calculation just a Help. I am able to
make a Account of type Liability for example credit to xxx, and put the
sum of the credit. The same i can book repayment onto this account. If
the account is empty the credit is done. No need of changes for someone
that doesn't need complicated interest calculation.
