Good morning community,

I read the user manual section  on  Account linked to financial activity and migration of opening balances and i practiced it. 

The example assumed an existing credit union that want to migrate data from a previous system to mifos x  but what if it is new institution that is being created and has no prior database?

Which kind of mapping will be done at the level of Account linked to financial activity?

 In addition, while migrating opening balances , which accounts will be affected?

Regards

Hello Ndam

At "Account linked to financila activities" you are mapping the financial activities that will be done automatically by system with the activiities perfomed,

You should map the activities that you think the institution will be perfoming in the system,

For the case of migrating opening balance for a new instatitution, you can start migrating the capital of the institution by crediting the account responsible for capital (equity) and debit either Cash or Bank account (asset)

Hello Ndam

That error happens when you are trying to migrate opening balance while you have posted journal entries,

What have you done relating with accounting in the system so far?

Hello ndam

Am not sure if deleting the transactions will do, The best solution is to have a fresh tenant without any accounting activities. 

Also before migrating, you should not enable accounts in loan product, saving product etc

Hello Ndam

If you haven't done any transaction or activitity that might affect any ledger, and in all products i.e loan, saving, share, fixed deposit and recurring you have chose "none" in accounting part, it should allow the migration.

If all of the above are correct, please provide the screenshot of the error it provide now.

Hello Serge

The balance of the account to be migrated can either be a debit balance or credit balance, it can not be both.

Dear All,

How can I enable this feature in this new release? I downloaded the .zip folder and installed it manually on windows that's why I am unable to do so.
In the link attached below, it is saying

 " 2FA is turned off by default but can be enabled by setting Ptwofactor=enabled during the Gradle build process. "


Since, I didn't use gradle build , how can i turn this feature on?

Thanks & Regards,
Abiy A.
