Principal: Amount of the account balance that is principal (money bucket 1).
Interest: Amount of the account balance that is interest (money bucket 2).
Transaction Charges: Amount of the account balance that is transaction charges (money bucket 10).
Note: The remaining amounts (for example, Collection Costs) are for money buckets 3 through 9. The labels vary based on how your organization set up your system. For more information, see Maintain Money Titles.
