We were planning to have a relook at

 and try to clean up the same. However, we are now a bit confused on the functional requirements

Intra-Branch Transfers

Earlier, I was assuming that the fund sources for all products would be the same, so consolidated transactions like 

 

  • Scenario 1) Disburse loan to a savings

Loan should: Debit Loan Portfolio
Savings should: Credit Savings Control

  • Scenario 2) Transfer from savings to Loan

Savings should: Debit Savings Control
Loan Should: Credit Income from interest, income from fees, loan portfolio, income from penalty

  • Scenario 3) Transfer from savings(a) to savings(b) where A is a withdrawal and B is a deposit

savings (a) : Debit a' Savings Control
savings (b) : Credit b's Savings Control

 

would make sense (as long as all of them are within the same branch)

 

Questions (Blocker):

What happens if the fund source for two products are different? 

Ex: For scenario 1)

Loan is mapped to a Bank Account and Savings is mapped to Cash. If I disburse a loan to savings, I should Ideally show my Bank account being decreased (which the shown transactions would not do)

Also, such concerns may be purely developer issues and not a valid use case? Can somebody please have a look at the suggested consolidated postings and comment?

 

Inter-Branch Transfers

 

Accounting Rules:

 

Based on the discussion in the comments below, accounting rules shall be the same for both inter/ intra branch transactions

  • Scenario 1) Disburse loan to a savings from Branch A to Branch B

Loan disbursal should: Debit Loan Portfolio and Credit a Liability account for "Branch Liability Transfer"
Savings should: Credit Savings Control and Debit a Liability account for "Branch Liability Transfer"

 

  • Scenario 2) Transfer from savings to Loan from Branch A to Branch B

Savings withdrawal in Branch A should: Debit Savings Control
Loan ShouldControl  and Credits a Liability account for "Branch Liability Transfer"
Loan repayment in Branch B should: Credit Income from interest, income from fees, loan portfolio, income from penalty and Debit the account for  "Branch Liability Transfer"

  • Scenario 3) Transfer from savings(Apr-a) to savings(B) where A pr-b) where pr-a is a withdrawal and B pr-b is a deposit from Branch A to Branch B

savings (pr-a) in Branch A : Debit pr-a' Savings Control and Credits a Liability account for "Branch Liability Transfer"
savings (b) : Credit in Branch B:  Debits a Liability account for "Branch Liability Transfer" and Credit b's Savings Control

...

 

Approach 1] Created Unbalanced Journal entries for the actual Loan and savings Transaction

Ex, for Scenario 1, create a debit for the Loan Transaction and a debit for the savings transaction?

Approach 2 ] Link journal entries to the account Transaction (in m_account_transfer_transaction)

entity_type_enum = 3 (Account Transfer)
what would the entity Id be? = Need to have a re-look
transaction_id = link to m_account_transfer_transaction ( Here add a new convenience label a "m_account_transfer_transaction tables id" )
account_transfer_transaction_id foreign key

 ( Is Payment details to account transfer (needs to be passed from the account on which the transaction was made) = Need to have a re-look

 Branch Liability Transfer account shall be defined at an organizational Level

 

 

[Conversation with @pramod :  Under https://demo.openmf.org/#/accounting, lets add a new section for "Map Organizational Accounts"

 

Here, a user will be able to edit predefined accounting types like "Suspense account for Liability Transfer", "Suspense account for Asset Transfer" or "Teller Cash Account". Need a set of API's for the same
