Based on my experience, most MFI's want the detail tracking at the
individual level while maintaining group or center liability. Enforcement
of the liability should be a process thing that falls outside of Mifos.

What details are you looking for at the group level? There is always an
option to build a report to give you the granular detail you are looking for
if its not covered in the performance history. To be clear, the performance
history at the group level does show some detail from the individual loans
of its members.

Generally I keep a local instance of Mifos installed on a virtual machine
and just manually change the date (I do it in a virtual machine, as changing
my computers date can cause alarms and other things to go crazy).
