Welcome Ghislain, I believe we actually have a community member that's on Vanuatu right now! Small world :)

Would I simply add extra lines in the > mapping customization file (like follows for all my bank account for > example?) Short answer: Mifos does not support this. Long answer: Mifos can indicate different accounts (ie, banks) for the payments to go into by PRODUCT. Mifos cannot, however, indicate different accounts for payments by BRANCH. Obviously, for most institutions, this latter option is the preferred one. While Mifos doesn't currently support this, we have noted it and are looking at for a possible accounting enhancements in the future. That said, the way I addressed this in a deployment was to do the following: * Create a custom field for a branch that records the GL Code for the Bank * When integrating with your accounting system (either through a manual report or automated), for all cash deposits, you replace the Default Cash GL code for this with the GL code in the branch custom field. In a few months I may have something I can share that does this. > 2) I have enabled the configuration > repaymentSchedulesIndependentOfMeetingIsEnabled because having those > constraints of tightly coupling meeting schedules to payments would be a > nightmare in this country and would practically never work.

This will happen. This requirement is coming up more and more often, but currently we don't support it. The LSIM feature (short name for the feature you are talking about), at the moment, is a bit of a workaround and needs some refactoring, so that's why its still limiting the client based on the meeting schedule. Do keep an eye on the roadmap though, we've certainly been talking about it more and more.
