Enabling use of Client Photo on creating a Client (Thomas, Uganda, system analyst, VasTech )
Inclusion of Shares Module like the loan and saving modules (Thomas, Uganda, system analyst, VasTech )(see also Shares Module Work In Progress)
A way to Import existing Client Data for a new Microfinace deployment (Thomas, Uganda, system analyst, VasTech )
(Thomas, Uganda, system analyst, VasTech ) stated:
Having Basic Standard reports ( i.e Client details report, Client Loan details rpt, Loan Payment details rpt etc) running as part of the mifos and not a separate solution for reporting
and
Having basic accounting reporting enforced from with in mifos by creating standard reports for say Total Loan Portfolio rpt, Total Profit rpt, Total Exependiture rpt etc
with facility for individual lending - Maya G's allowing a member to have loans with differing frequencies takes care of this partially. However, navigating to such individual loans (members may not belong to groups) still will have some challenges in Maya G
there are 2 approaches that MFI's have been requesting in India:
facility for easily and cleanly getting past member/group/loan data into Mifos.
Proposal to address this- make Sungard migration tool available.
important if Mifos has to be adopted by larger MFIs/SHGs who have better reach in rural areas (where internet connectivity is poor and electricity is available only for 1 or 2 hours on some days)
where more details of each groups linkage with their banks accounts can be managed, managing linkage between savings and loans etc.
batch jobs and upgrades and reporting becomes a challenge with some tables have millions of rows
Any information on this? Batch jobs seems to be pretty good since 1.6.
attendance, user security etc.
to schedule and manage the client pre-enrollment process (Group trainings and group tests)
move internationalization resource bundles to the configuration folder so that it can be customized and deployed without being overwritten by each upgrade
