How to view status history

At any point, you can see the history of a loan: the original application, whether it was approved, and whether it is active, in good standing, or closed. You can use this information to track the progress of the loan and the efficiency of the loan officer or the MFI approval process itself.

At the bottom of the screen, click View Status History.

How to view performance history

The box in the upper right corner summarizes the performance of the client or group for this loan. It includes the following: 

• Number of payments: The total number of payments/installments that have been made successfully
• Number of missed payments: The total number of payments/installments that are missed and are in arrears
• Days in arrears: The number of days the loan account is behind on payment (that is, the number of days overdue)
• Loan maturity date: The date on which the loan matures and the outstanding loan balance is due

How to view missed installments

If an installment payment is missed, it is displayed in the overdue information, and the Total Amount Due includes the missed installment. For example, if a client has to repay 0 (principal = and Interest = ) every month, and she defaults for the month of August, then for the month of September, the following amounts are displayed in the Next Payment details:

• Principal Due=
• Interest Due =
• Penalty Due = (for the missed/defaulted installment)
• Principal Overdue= (for the missed/defaulted installment)
• Interest Overdue = (for the missed/defaulted installment)
• Total Amount Due= 2
