UI Prototypes are available `here <https://mifos.dev.java.net/svn/mifos/documents/ui-workspace/Enda%20UI/27_Aug_2007.zip>`_.

Scope

ENDA Configuration

Only the following documents will be configured to be generated from the loan account page:

  • Voucher
  • Payment book
  • Disbursal receipt
  • Payment receipt

The payment schedule could be printed from the reporting module.

The Voucher is a legal document and will be ENDA formatted.

Conventions

Those conventions will be used in the whole document:

  • Mandatory fields will be proceeded by *
  • Links are italicized
  • Buttons are put between braces `
    Unknown macro: {Button}
    `

Feature summary

Electronic publishing are administrative documents that need to be printed through the operational process. For example, when a LO open a new loan account for a client, he needs to make up the client file: Voucher which is collateral that the client signs, client payment schedule...etc. Besides the client file, other documents are needed in the process, like receipts (when going to the cash desk to have the money) and payments books (when going to the cash desk to pay installments). Those documents couldn't be, according to the business logic, among the reporting module, since reporting is the system output that describes a situation at a given period to help the decision holders

Background

Currently, Mifos doesn't allow any reports generating or printing, outside reporting module. Administrative documents need to be configured to be printed through the operational process.
