[Mifos-users] GLIM details for individual clients

[Milan Patel]

Hello,

I've created group account which contains 2 clients.  GLIM functionality is enabled as we need to be able to create data for individual clients such as repayment schedules specifying what each individual owes specifically.

I'm not able to see exactly where the data for the individuals is specified after the group loan is created.  I am able to access the group loan repayment schedule, but I am unable to locate the same for the individual clients within that group.  When I drill down to the individual Client details, it's as if they don't have a loan assigned to them.

I see however that in the database, each client has an individual loan account (account type =4), and that repayment schedules also exist for those individuals.

How do I view this data via the front-end?

Thanks

Milan

Hi Milan,

 

Unfortunately GLIM does not work in this way.  GLIM only allows tracking individual disbursements, but not the repayments.  You do see those “ghost” schedules in the DB, but they are not to be displayed in the UI, and were just created to get the individual disbursements to work (a hackish way, I will agree). 

 

Can you specify more of what you’re trying to do with GLIM, and what the use cases are?

HI Kay

I have a feeling the "hackish" way that you do it is probably not too far from the way this organisation works.

I'm still trying to fully gather the requirements, but from what I know, the group schedule essentially is the sum of the individual schedules.  The group gets a schedule, but each individual member of the group is also given an own schedule representing a proportion of the loan, for which he/she is responsible for paying.  

The groups here are small, about 3-4 people, so it's relatively easy to manage this level of information.  The experience is that larger groups don't work in urban areas in Latin America, as it's difficult to get individual members to assume collective responsibility with a large group of people they don't really trust.  The way it is done here, the individual is clear about the proportion of the loan that he/she is responsible for, but it is the group that receives the loan, and it bears responsibility collectively for it.

Thanks

Milan
