As an operations manager, I wish to define a recurring deposit product without an end date. This is useful to offer a deposit product to members who wish to keep depositing till the day they decide to stop investing or decide to leave the organization. On which date they will get the amount deposited plus any interest earned on it.
In Mifos 2.x - we could have a mandatory savings - which requires a member to deposit periodically without any specific end-date.
In MifosX, depositing periodically can be achieved via recurring deposits. However, it is not possible to achieve this without any maturity date or maturity amount. Recurring deposit products in Mifos X to be extended for the following:
a) At the RD product level - continue to allow an RD product to be defined without any maximum deposit period b) When creating an RD account - allow user to leave "Deposit Period" as null (which means - it is an RD product without a maturity date) c) Such RD accounts will not have a maturity date and maturity amount d) Such RD accounts should be shown in the collection sheet as a due collection e) If "Deposit Frequency Same as Group/Center meeting" is set to true - then when Center Meeting dates are changed - then the due dates on the recurring deposits should automatically be adjusted to the center meeting dates.
