Polly,
I've logged issue http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-3511 in
regards to the change in collection sheet behavior for disallowing input
when no repayment is due between version 1.3 and 1.5.1. Please add any
additional comments to that issue.
Regarding the submit errors you are seeing, can you please post that
issue on mifosforge? Do troubleshoot the issue, we'd likely need a copy
of your data.

Polly,
The batch job was removed because we changed the underlying
functionality so the collection sheet does not need it anymore, ie,
everything is done 'live'/changes are immediate. So if you are seeing
issues with the collection sheet, its not due to problems with the batch
jobs, its a problem with the collection sheet and would need to be
addressed.
So if you can detail for us what are the exact issues you are having
with the collection sheet, we can better advise you, but without that
information, there is not much we can do.

Hi Kay,
The collection sheet is a vital functionality in our MFI since it cuts
down the time needed to post transactions by 70%.
This is the situation, we have one fully dedicated data entry clerk and
one part time who helps out 3 hours a day and we the data is only 2 days
behind on a bad day for 6,500 clients.
If the collection sheet does not work well, we will be forced to have 3
fully dedicated data entry clerks and 2 part time working 3 hours a day
for the same number of clients. We came to this conclusion when we
upgraded to v1.5.1 and the collection sheet was not working which
created a backlog of 5 days work.
In my experience for the time I have worked with Mifos, when the batch
jobs are not running well, the collection sheet does not display cells
for active loans where payments to loan accounts are posted which means
that every loan repayment has to be posted one by one in the client's
loan dashboard (seriously tedious and time consuming).
One of the reasons we were upgrading to v1.5.1 was because the grace
period is not working well in v1.3, "grace on all repayments" still
charges interest during the grace period. But in 1.5.1 this funcionality
works well. So what we have been doing is, if a loan is disbursed on
3/8/2010, in the system we disburse it on 17/8/2010 (3 weeks grace
period). The disbursement date in the system is calculated mentaly by
the person who is booking the loans. This is a loophole for something
serious in the future. Now all this is done assuming that no client
makes payment during the grace period (which happens ALOT!).

Hi Polly
This task is actually unneeded hence why it's commented out. We have
removed the batch job altogether in 1.6.
What missing cells are you seeing in collection sheet? Is it the report
or collection sheet entry?

Jeff,
Thank you. The downgrade went well. Why is the batch job scheduler for
collection sheet disabled in the task.xml?
<!--<scheduler>
<task-class-name>CollectionSheetTask</task-class-name>
<initial-time>24:00:00</initial-time>
<delay-time>86400</delay-time>
</scheduler>-->
I am suspecting that this might be the cause for the missing cells in
the collection sheet. My understanding is that the batch jobs affect the
functionality in the collection sheet. We are planning to upgrade the
test server to v.1.6 to see if the collection sheet is working well.
Polly.

Polly,
Did you delete the tomcat work directory as part of the upgrade? You
can still give that a try if you didn't. Stop tomcat, then delete the
mifos folder under Tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost, and restart tomcat.

I have attached 2 pages from Mifos demo server showing a client with

transactions.

Hello,
The collection sheet in v 1.5.1 is not working properly. On the server
we were still using v 1.3.
We did not upgrade to v1.4. because it was not supporting loans with 0%
interest. v1.5 on the test server was working well except that in the
collection sheet it was only displaying cells for loans that had amounts
that were due whereas in our MFI we have clients paying constantly even
where there are no amounts due.
So on Thursday we went ahead and did the upgrade on the server from v
1.3 to v 1.5.1. Now the collection sheet is not working at all, not only
does it not display cells for posting loan transactions but even when
submitting data for savings transactions we get an error "HTTP 500".
We had taken the risk because there's one feature we liked about v
1.5.1. in that it supported grace period on all installment whereas that
feature in v1.3 still charges interest.
We allowed batch jobs to run for 3 days uninterrupted hoping it would
correct the collection sheet issue but this is causing a delay in
posting data. So we are planning to do a roll back to v1.3.
Has anyone else faced the same problem with the collection sheet with
v1.5?
