Muthu - thanks for bringing this to the list. I think it is useful to try to search for mention in our history, but in this case, it fails.
Looking on the fineract listserv, I find that we have not discussed anything about savings accounts and SubmittedOnDate vs CreatedDate. There isn't much about this in tickets either. You may want to search more...but my guess is that the reasoning is lost in the pre-Fineract days. Somewhere on the mifos-developer work. more recently...from 2022, Adam laid out how business date and CreatedOnDate ... https://lists.apache.org/list?dev@fineract.apache.org:gte=1d:CreatedOnDate ...from 2017, this ticket was resolved with regard to SubmittedOnDate for loans. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-18?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel .... also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1379?jql=project%20%3D%20FINERACT%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20text%20~%20%22submittedOnDate%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC So, from my recollection, we initially had a paper driven process, whereby a form would be filled out in the field, then brought back to the offices, whereby the data would be entered. The TransactionDate would be the date that the payment was made in the field, and the SubmittedDate would be the date that the event was recorded in the system. We "likely" used SubmittedDate because we wanted to separate out the concept from the system idea of CreatedOnDate. Thus, this was an early version of "businessDate" although only partially designed.
