@Santosh and all I have created a Jira ticket at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-608 for this.
@Sander, In our setting in SACCOs, dividend calculation is based on the whether the account is created within financial year and below or not. Example, If we are calculating dividend for 2017, we get the total shares at the organisation since inception of the organisation e.g if the organisation started in 2003, we shall get total shares from 2003 upto 31st Dec 2017. Say its 360 shares. Then if the approved dividend to be given to members is 720,000, we then get how much each share will get i.e 720,000/360 = *2,000* Now that we know each share gets 2,000, this will be the multiplying factor for each members total share. Eg. *Client Name Total Shares Dividend* Client 1 1 2,000 Client 2 5 10,000 Client 3 10 20,000 ....... etc *TOTAL 360 720,000* Total amount given to clients should be equal to approved dividend. I think this is the logic in shares and dividend especially in SACCO operation and i think its the same Thanks Regards Ippez Robert On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 9:11 AM, Sander van der Heyden < [email protected]> wrote: > Just quickly chipping in with a thought: is this not related to the fact > that dividend calculation is done depending on how long the shares were > held during the period?
