This request activates a loan.

After a loan is created, a separate request is made to activate. Note the following when activating a loan:
An activated loan functions differently than a loan that has not been activated. By default, newly created loans are not activated.
Loans can be deactivated, if needed. Use the PUT
Deactivate loan request to do so. Deactivating a loan will pause all calculations.
If the loan used in the request is already activated, the response will come back as "false" instead of "true".
Activating a loan updates the "active"
field within the LoanSetup
object that's nested within the Loans
entity. An activated loan will have a "active"
value of 1
instead of 0
.
For an example of how activating a loan works within the UI, take a look at our Activating a Loan article.
