At the time of receiving the document, the client's debt is canceled and the registration of the document plus interest is recorded (2000 x 0.05 = 100)

notes receivable 2.100

Accounts Receivable 2.000

interest to accrue 100

then at the time of payment (we assume its in cash, we record the income, the cancellation of the document and the interest earned.

Cash 2,100

Interest to accrue 100

nterest income 100

Receivable notes 2.100
