Selection of the Finance Review icon 
directly to the right of the Contract Start Month field
(or, alternatively, by selecting Finance from the Review Menu option) presents

as being affected by the Escalation Process by selecting the appropriate values in the
Escalate Tab.
This form is split into four parts, which are as follows:
In addition to displaying the form name the Title Bar provides a number of useful buttons.
This area displays a number of escalation details, which are as follows:
Rental Fixed?: Initiates the Fixed Rental escalation process (if blank then the Interest Rate escalation process will be used).
Prime Interest %: This should be set to the latest Prime interest rate as released by Central Government. This is used as basis for the calculations of the Customer Finance Rental. The default value comes from the value held within the Escalation Tab in System Controls.
Prime +/- %: An additional +/- percentage value may be added to the Prime Interest %.
Contract Interest: The Prime Interest % plus the Prime +/- %. This is the percentage used to calculate the Customer Finance Rental.

Escalate Rental %: The percentage value by which the rental element is to be escalated.
Escalate XS Rate: A checkbox which, if ticked, denotes that the excess element of the contract is to be included in the escalation uplift process.
Escalate XS Rate %: The percentage value by which the excess element is to be escalated.
Escalate Maintenance: A checkbox which, if ticked, denotes that the maintenance element of the contract is to be included in the escalation uplift process.
Escalate Maintenance %: The percentage value by which the maintenance element is to be escalated.
