Known Issues

• The names of the branch, LoanOfficer, and loan product parameter that Mifos gets from the database are in alphabetical order, but in the BIRT parameter list, it has no order. This is due to a bug in BIRT that has been fixed in the latest BIRT 2.1.3 build.
• According to the business logic, the best choice for the "loan number" column in report 1 is globalAccountNum. loan account id, another logical choice, is a sequential number in the database, each loan account id corresponds to one account. loan account id means nothing outside the Mifos database; !globalAccountNum does.
• The method, "!getTotalPrincipleAmountInArrears" does not consider lateness, it only returns the principal that is overdue.
• The default value of Branch parameter is "BSK", but the default value of LoanOfficer parameter is null.
• LoanOfficer and LoanProduct should display "All".
