Thanks for the explanations - I see what you're saying. I have a few
other questions...
With LSIM disabled, what happens if a defined holiday falls on a Sunday?
First, here are the default settings:
* FiscalCalendarRules.ScheduleTypeForMeetingOnHoliday=same_day
* LSIM disabled
* FiscalCalendarRules.Working.Days=Mon - Sat
With the above settings, I would expect meetings and repayments to be
joined and I would expect that they can happen on a Sunday.
With the above default settings, plus July 4 defined as a holiday with
Repayment Rule (Define new holiday) set to next_working_day, what
happens on July 4, 2010 when this holiday falls on a Sunday? I would
expect that repayment happens Monday July 5 and a meeting happens July 4
- but b/c LSIM is disabled can these two things (meeting + repayment) be
decoupled?
Other questions
1. Is the "Repayment Rule" option for "Define new holidays" really
just a rule for repayments or does it apply to meetings as well?
2. If the Repayment Rule is just for repayments how are meetings
that fall on holidays handled when LSIM is enabled, since
ScheduleTypeForMeetingOnHoliday is just for non-working days?
Thanks,
-Ellen

Subject: RE: [Mifos-functional] Repayment rule configuration
My understanding is that this setting is used for how Mifos handles
things if a meeting falls on a non-working day. For example, if you
schedule a repayment for the 15th of every month and the 15th happens to
fall on a Sunday and Sunday is a non-working day in the configuration,
then the repayment rule will specify how Mifos will handle this
situation.
For holidays, the UI should handle this. So, the naming of this
configuration is confusing because it is no longer for holidays and
non-working days, but just for non-working days.
Thanks,

Subject: [Mifos-functional] Repayment rule configuration
Ellen and I tested out the behavior of the configuration property
"FiscalCalendarRules.ScheduleTypeForMeetingOnHoliday" to see how it
works along with the Admin UI option to define new holidays where the
user is allowed to set a repayment rule. For both configurations allow
repayment rule values of same_day, next_working_day,
next_meeting_or_repayment.
For a basic test, I defined the configuration property to be
next_meeting_or_repayment, then created three holidays through the UI
that each of the three repayment rule settings. In each of the three
cases, the UI setting defined for that specific holiday overruled the
general config setting of next meeting or repayment day. I have also
tried disbursing a loan on a holiday with the config file set to
next_meeting_or_repayment day and was able to disburse the loan on the
holiday. Can anyone please clarify the use cases for this configuration
property and how it interacts with the admin UI setting for holidays?
Thanks,
Jeff
