Mexina -

The system - by which I assume you mean the backend since we're talking
about fineract here - is flexible enough to support these types of
accounting rules via the API calls. There might be built in functionality
in the Community App, in which case you should also air your question on
Mifos-developer. (Front end system)

What you are asking, however is a little confusing to me.

When you "Provision", you are setting aside funds in case you have to later
expense them.  You expense a non-performing asset via a "write off" or
"write down".  That has impacts on the amount Provisioned (set aside amt is
reduced) so that changes the Balance sheet, and on the income sheet, this
is recognized as an expense.

Generally speaking, provisioning logic is often tied to a Percentage of the
Total amount of the Portfolio that is in Arrears (i.e. considered to be at
risk).  It can be done automatically.

Now, if you then receive funds from an already written down loan, then you
have to have an accounting policy, consistent with the banking laws of your
country and generally accepted accounting principles. Those funds could be
recognized as "exceptional income" or it could be done as a reversal of a
write off.  It will depend I suppose on the period of time in question and
the rules that are accepted where you are.

All of these types of transactions can be done in Fineract. Automating them
may be something else.

( note: I am a bit rusty on my banking provisioning rules so someone can
correct me if I've misstated something or not been clear. )

Thanks,
