Jeff,
Yes, sorry I wasn¹t clearer in my request. What I was trying to get at is
that if we¹re going to add in client verification for a product, we should
make it open ended, allowing MFI¹s to configure what those checks are. That
way we don¹t or they don¹t have to keep adding in these multiples of checks
and instead we have a tool where they can designate what those checks are
(maybe its gender requirements, or family size, or regionally based).
Of course, this is a larger amount of work but I think it could turn into an
interesting feature, allowing MFI¹s to build into Mifos the rules that match
their own internal processes for loan requirements.
