Hi Soham, Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Aliya has been out of the country and we've been focusing on v1.1 features. Either Aliya or myself will respond early next week. Have a great weekend, Emily.
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Soham Dhakal Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 10:00 PM To: 'Mifos functional discussions'; 'Developer' Subject: [Mifos-developer] Savings Functionality - Addition of a Feature -Need Input Hi All, Background - Swabalamban Bikas Bank is planning on deploying Mifos. There is one other functionality they would like to have. I need input from others as to how this functionality should be applied. Functionality - Saving Product Interest Capitalization SBB capitalize their interest (post) on a specific date which conincides with their bi-annual closing based on the Nepali calendar. This date can fall on different Gregorian Calendar Dates. For e.g. This fiscal Nepali year they are on Jan 17th 2007 and Jul 16th 2008. They need functionality to calculate the interest till this date and then post it to the accounts. The interest is actually calculated monthly (based on the Nepali month) on the min balance ( since mifos does not support nepali calendar they are planning to use 28 day for interest calculation on the min amount). So for the Posting functionality here are some options 1. A batch job is used to update the "NEXT_INT_POST_DATE" to the correct date. (However i still have to dig into how exactly this functionality works for dates that are not end of the month) .. see spec <http://www.mifos.org/knowledge/functional-specs/product-definition#savi ngs> http://www.mifos.org/knowledge/functional-specs/product-definition#savin gs 2. A button (action) is added on the admin tab to "post interest ". So when a user clicks on it, the interest is posted. 3. A Date field is added to the saving product definition where user will be able to enter the date for the next posting.. (however this may change from one fiscal year to next or every six months), so if the user updates this date once interest isposted, this change should be reflected on all exisiting instances of the product. Please give your feedback and suggestions or if you can think of other options. Thanks Soham <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Soham Dhakal Magnus Consulting Group Pvt.
