Hi Sam, Yep-- we don't currently have that functionality in Mifos.
I believe there are 2 things you want to do in this case: (1) Track how much money the client has repaid so you know how much you can continue to collect (2) Make sure any money collected is recorded appropriately in your accounting system: Once a loan has been written off, any repayments received for that loan are posted to another accounting entry-- typically extraordinary cash. Most MFIs I know about handle #2 by simply recording the payment directly into the accounting system. For #1, one suggestion is to simply use the "notes" field to track any collections. Geraldine O'Keefe, who was overseeing a deployment at Growth Africa, provided a fairly nice write up here about how this kind of feature could work: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-2878 That might give you some ideas of workarounds that could accomplish the same thing, Finally-- you might ask ENDA. They are the only ones I know of who are even writing off loans...so presumably they are also trying to collect against them too. Hope this helps!
