# Accruals

here are two types of **Accrual Accounting:**

1\) **Accrual (Upfront):** If you enable this option and add entries while defining the loan product (*as shown in the table below*), Accrual entries are passed at the time of disbursal of the loan (*to the Client or Group*). 

2\) **Accrual (Periodic)**: If you enable this option and add entries while defining the loan product, Accrual can be done with a specified periodicity or can be done manually. To specify the Periodicity of Accrual, follow these steps:

*    Go to **Admin** >> **System** >> **Scheduler Jobs** to see the following window (*with a list of Jobs*):
