Overview
Financial Institutions may close their accounting books periodically and hence want to know the status of the accrued incomes and expenses as of the particular date.
Today, for Accounting Type as "Accrual (Periodic)", the accrual accounting happens in Mifos on the date a payment is due. This will be enhanced so that the organization can
a) recognize income/expenses periodically for loans (as specified as a configuration):
OR
b) recognize income/expenses as on a particular date for loans (which will be manually specified when invoking the accrual job).
Mifos will continue to accrue income/expense for loans on the dates on which they fall due. There will not be any change to this functionality.
