Hello,
The issue you encountered is a common one, given a poor design on the Mifos user interface that will be fixed in v1.1. Right now, when you change the meeting date of a center, the meeting date is not changed until the batch jobs run (batch jobs are scheduled to run each day in Mifos at 12 midnight based on your system time by default, as long as your application is running at that time). Once the batch jobs run, you will see your meeting date changed for the center. Unfortunately, there is no user feedback to indicate this. We will be changing the message to the user in v1.1 to make this more obvious. The item in the issue tracker to track this is as follows: https://mifos.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1460 Thanks, Aliya ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abdul-Quadri Dauda Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 2:01 AM To: Bart Berning (Contractor); [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mifos-developer] fw: Re: [Mifos-functional] Disbursal DateProblem; documentation goals continued Hi Keith, thanks for your concern and assistance,I really appreciate you and thanks to Bart Berning for replying.I have gotten how the disbursal date is working ,I can now understand it better. After going through your message where you said that 'date is set when you create or modify the center'.Although I have seen where they also specify this in the mailing list,but I never understand it then until when I went through your message and I just get how it works after looking at that area again. But there is something I noticed in the Center Detail Page which I will like someone to help me look into,I noticed that the Edit Meeting Schedule Link is not working fine. I want to change the meeting schedule,so I clicked on the Edit Meeting Schedule Link on the Center Details page and it took me to the Meeting Schedule Page where I choosed another day.After that I clicked on the save button with the hope that it will change the Meeting Schedule but it did not. So,I think that Link is not working fine or am the one who does not understand how it works.Please I will need assistance on how to Edit Meeting Schedule. Thanks very much for your assistance,I will be expecting your reply soon.Concerning the documentation for the business rule,Bart Berning has reply to this topic directing me to a page on the mifos website (http://www.mifos.org/knowledge/functional-specs/loans/,) in the mean time. He also said I should search for "loan disbursal date" for more detail.I have gone to this page and I think it will be very useful for me to understand more on the business rule. Please someone should help me look into the Meeting Schedule Link I complained about above,I will be expecting your reply. Thanks and remain blessed. ________________________________ ________________________________ From: "Bart Berning (Contractor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 8:57 AM To: "Developer" <[email protected]>, "Mifos functional discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Mifos-functional] [Mifos-developer] Disbursal Date Problem; documentation goals continued Hi all, The documentation certainly could (and will) be improved. In the mean time, I find that the best first step is to go to www.mifos.org and run a search (in the upper right corner). In this case, entering "loan disbursal date", yields several relevant pages that would help answer your question in a few minutes. In particular look in the functional spec (also in the search results) which has the default values for many fields in mifos. The 'Attributes for Loan Accounts' table on http://www.mifos.org/knowledge/functional-specs/loans/, shows the default for disbursal date is 'next meeting date.' Cheers, Bart Nairobi -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Pierce Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 6:34 PM To: Mifos functional discussions Cc: Developer Subject: Re: [Mifos-developer] [Mifos-functional] Disbursal Date Problem;documentation goals continued Quadri, I am glad that you are interested in MifOS and have started to dive into its inner workings. A business expert ought to verify this (I'm a new developer myself), but I believe that MifOS sets the disbursal date to the day of the next meeting of the client's group or center. That date is set when you create or modify the center. That would explain why the disbursal date appears arbitrarily set. Your frustration is certainly felt, Quadri, and is quite relevant to the recent discussion thread on documentation -- see http://tinyurl.com/2zrzec. I had exactly the same problem when I started to learn how MifOS works. Can someone help Quadri find the documentation of this business rule? Is there a general sequence of steps that someone interested in MifOS should follow to track down such rules? Is there something we can add to the "documentation goals" page that would guide an author to make it easier for an interested person to find the answer questions like this?
