I will wait for Zayyad and actual users to respond.
In my mind this is a functional limitation we are imposing based on our design. - In a large MFI (with say 500k customers or so), we will be forced to create 500k current accounts just to collect a client level fees, which I feel is unnecessary - In future, I can see a client onboarding workflow being implemented in Mifos. This could involve steps like: o Client application o Client Training on Group methodology and liabilities o Group test o Credit Verification etc. So, the client may get rejected at any of these steps and never become an active client. And if the MFI wants to charge a client level upfront processing fees - how will we do this? - Home loans typically have a processing charge, which is applicable even if the loan application is rejected. In a normal bank, the home loan client need not have any other bank account to apply for a home loan.

Cc: Zayyad Said; Vishwas Babu; Binny Gopinath Subject: Re: [Mifos-users] Status of Client Fees & Charges in Mifos X - MIFOSX-583 Vishwas, I totally agree and now read over the approach that you and Keith discussed. Makes complete sense from an accounting perspective that fees should be associated with an actual account. As Keith alluded to, let's make sure in the UI we start to explicitly call the current account by its name rather than just it being another savings account. In the old Mifos UI, the client fees/charges were summarized at the top level of the client record - Perhaps we could do the same by including a summary of the current account fees at the top level client record page? Zayyad - will this approach around handling client fees at the current account level work for your customer? Read the comments on the issue linked to below.

So you can associate a current account with the appropriate accounting rules to a customer and then apply any fees you want to the current account (works exactly like client fees) Regards, Vishwas On Mar 28, 2014 11:10 AM, "Ed Cable" <edca...@mifos.org> wrote: Hey guys, Support for adding client-level fees came up this morning as a blocker for one of Zayyad's customers. Can you let the community know what the timeline is for adding this support? Is it still targeted for one of the near-term upcoming releases? https://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOSX-583 Thanks, Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ Mifos-users mailing list Mifos-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mifos-users ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ Mifos-users mailing list Mifos-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mifos-users -- Ed Cable Mifos Community Manager Director of Community Programs, Mifos Initiative edca...@mifos.org | Skype: edcable | Mobile: 484.477.8649 Collectively Creating a World of 3 Billion Maries | http://openmf.org <http://mifos.org> <http://facebook.com/mifos> <http://www.twitter.com/mifos> Note: As of Jan 1, 2014 my email has changed from <mailto:edca...@openmf.org> edca...@openmf.org to <mailto:edca...@mifos.org> edca...@mifos.org.
