The updates that follow are as of May-2005
1. Correction: in a networked environment users could not enter data simultaneously without getting file lock messages (Chibueze Community Bank, Nigeria, Socodevi, DR Congo).
2. Correction: in a networked environment users could not simultaneously post manually financial transactions without getting errors (like "File access denied" and "Cannot access selected table").
3. Correction: the importation of group members withdrawals gave an error ("Property CashAccount not found").
4. Correction: if a loan disbursement was deleted or if a complete loan was deleted in an SQL Server database, Loan Performer did not make any booking into the general ledger (SMCP, Eritrea).
5. Correction: if user calculated Loan Loss Provision and had individual and group loans and had selected "Show client names", the loan numbers were duplicated (Pulse, Zambia).     наверх
6. Correction: Change to PARMEC chart of accounts at System/Configuration/Accounting, caused an error with an SQL Server database.

The following updates are of April - 2005
1. Correction: In Windows98 the resource file could easily become corrupted, causing LPF to give a message at startup saying "File Lang.dbf not found".
2. Correction: Corrected: If at Configuration/Register Part 1, the user selected a GL Account for bounced cheques, the combobox for closing charges became invisible and vice-versa.
3. Corrected: If a client was deleted and re-entered again with the same account number, the user would get a message like "Something went wrong..." when trying to save the information.
4. Corrected: If a deposit was made as a bank transfer and this was later modified and turned into a withdrawal, Loan Performer did not book the modification correctly and used the cash account instead of the bank account for the posting of the correction (SMCP, Eritrea).    наверх
5. Corrected: If a deposit was made as a cash transaction and this was later modified and turned into a withdrawal, the modification did only debit and credit the savings account and did not touch the cash account at all (SMCP, Eritrea).
6. Corrected: If a savings withdrawal was modified to a later date, Loan Performer did not update the balance correctly.
7. Corrected: The interest calculation on savings accounts according to monthly minimum balances calculated interest for the first month of the period double (Gamstar, Senegal).
8. Corrected: The Group Members Savings Balances Report was showing incorrect balances for gender at the summary section of the report.
9. Corrected: If VAT was charged on commissions paid at menu item “Payment of Commission” (before or after loan approval), the amount paid was not updated with the VAT part and the booking to the cash/bank/suspense account cheques did not include the VAT part.    наверх
10. Corrected: If a loan was entered with a grace period and no interest was calculated on the grace period, the up-front interest showed an incorrect amount (World Concern, Kenya).
11. Corrected: With loans on declining balance having a grace period and no interest is calculated for the grace period, the last instalment could have a negative interest amount at loan application.
12. Correction: The option of group members having different interest rates in a group loan has been removed in 7.04 because we expected no users to be using this option. However as clients complained, we have returned this option (World Hope Int, DR Congo).    наверх
13. Corrected: In version 7.04 user could indicate that a guarantor can not guarantee more than 1 active loan. However when user modified a loan application it was still possible to add guarantors who have active loans.
14. Corrected: With configuration setting "Client may apply for a 2nd loan when the first loan is still outstanding" activated but "Receive" de-actactivated and "Follow-up loan only allowed if no arrears" activated, the user would not be able to disburse a group member loan with configuration "Member gets individual loan". Loan Performer would classify this client as a repeat client who already had an existing loan, even when this was his/her first time loan (Arysh, Kyrgyzstan).
15. Corrected: If on a non-English installation user had activated the feature of non-working days and user entered a loan disbursement and one of the instalments fell on a non-working day, LPF updated the date forever and user had to reboot to stop it.
16. Corrected: The importation of multiple (partial) disbursements for the same loan was not working.
17. Corrected: If a loan was disbursed in 2 instalments, it was showing up twice in the Arrears report (World Concern, Kenya).    наверх
18. Corrected: If user select to disburse or repay from the savings account, the default savings account was not the selected savings account (Socodevi, DR Congo).
19. Corrected: If user entered stationery or cheque clearing charges as part of the loan repayment for a loan with VAT, the VAT element did not increase.
20. Corrected: When Repaying Arrears From Savings, LPF could not save if the user had not defined a Currency Difference account even if loans were not tied to a second currency.
21. Corrected: If a loan on declining balance was rescheduled with additional instalments and interest, Loan Performer calculated interest wrongly for the additional instalments. This should have been zero interest as the loan is supposed to be repaid after the last instalment.
22. Corrected: The "Payments made during a period" report showed zero dues if user selected 'Include dues without repayments' and there were no payments in the selected period.
23. Correction: The last 2 formats of the report "Listing of Repayments" which had a column for commission paid with every instalment, generated an error saying "Repaid Commission not found".    наверх
24. Corrected: If a loan was disbursed by cheque and the whole loan was deleted, the cheque clearing was not reversed in the general ledger (Forde, Uganda).
25. Corrected: If group loans with member tracking and with commission for every instalment were repaid via the menu item Group Member Repayments, the commission due was not repaid.
26. Corrected: The menu option for Group Member Repayment (only available if loans are tracked at group member level) generated errors for loans on declining balance.
27. Corrected: The Group Members Repayment Report was not showing any data for existing repayments.
28. Corrected: The booking of the deletion of a loan repayment that was entered by cheque did not reverse the clearing of the cheque in the general ledger.
29. Corrected: The Active Portfolio per Credit Officer report generated an error ("Variable 'GROUPBY' is not found") when the Grouping/Order is "Loan Number".    наверх
30. Corrected: It was not possible to add or modify an account in the general ledger if user was using an SQL database (SMCP, Eritrea).
31. Corrected: The menu option to accrue interest on loans generated an error ("Variable is not found.") after printing a report on accrued loan interest.
32. Corrected: The module for exportation of financial transactions into Quickbooks incorrectly specified the Amount field in case of a deletion of a financial transaction and Loan Performer exported a negative debit or credit transaction (Foccas, Uganda).
33. Corrected: The Amount field in the export file for Quickbooks was not correct in case of loan deletions or inserted repayments. The positive or negative sign was incorrect (Foccas, Uganda).
34. Corrected: The generation of an export file under Day-Closure only used the file indicated by the user if this was a file of DAT format, not for the other file formats (Foccas, Uganda).    наверх
35. Corrected: If user ticked all items at "Recalculate Accrued Interest", Loan Performer said that there was nothing to accrue, while if only 1 or 2 items were ticked, interest was accrued.
36. Corrected: If dividend was calculated on shares, Loan Performer was still booking this to the general ledger, even if the month or year had been closed. The same for the modification of a shares transaction, the calculation of interest on savings accounts, the deletion of a time-deposit, the deletion of payment of commission for a loan application, the deletion of a disbursement and repayments.
37. Corrected: the budget report on a non-English operating system generated a bug.
38. Corrected: user could not enter O(ui) or N(on) in the window for the definition of user access rights if a French windows operating system was used (Socodevi, DR Congo).
39. Modified: It is now possible to log user access to each menu item. At Configuration/Users, the supervisor can activate or deactivate the log per user. A report can be generated on the menu items accessed by one or all users from the menu item "Audit Trail".
40. Modified: a new format for the Clients reports with client's birth date is added (MED, Tajikistan).
41. Modified: VAT is also implemented for client's registration fees.
42. Modified: user can disable the modification of client registration and savings account number at client entry (a checkbox is added at Configuration/Register Part 2 saying: "User can modify client registration and savings account number", Entrepreneurs du Monde, France).
43. Modified: a user – at manager level or higher - can set minimum negative balances per client account and charge interest on negative balances. A second interest percentage is added at Configuration/Savings for accounts with negative balances. If an account gets into negative, Loan Performer will apply this interest rate and will DEDUCT this from the total interest received. If the user does not want clients to receive interest at all, the normal interest can be put at zero. The interest calculation is modified for this and also the account closure with the interest calculation to match the above (Chibueze, Nigeria).    наверх
44. Modified: a configuration item is added where the user can define whether a guarantor is allowed to guarantee more than 1 outstanding loan. The loan can not be disbursed if this is not activated and one of the guarantors guarantees another loan (Socodevi, DR Congo).
45. Modified: it is now possible to enter loans on declining balance with interest recalculation where the disbursement is in instalments and user repays before the last amount is disbursed. The repayment modules and also the importation of repayments have been modified to suit this.
46. Modified: an option to "freeze" loans on declining balance has been added at rescheduling. If user enters a repayment and "Recalculate interest" is activated, interest is charged up to the indicated date, no interest should be charged afterwards. A loan can also be "unfrozen" (SMCP, Eritrea).
47. Modified: User can now double click on any instalment due on the second page at loan repayment and the first page will automatically become active with the repayment date of the selected instalment.
48. Modified: The entry of loans on declining balance with interest recalculated at repayment was not possible for group members in earlier versions. Now it is.    наверх
49. Modified: The report on Fees now has an option to filter on or group by branch (SMCP, Eritrea).
50. Modified: The Day Closure report can be previewed before printing and additional ordering options are added, making it possible to print all transactions of user and each day on a separate page (Forde, Uganda).
51. Modified: The user now has the possibility to modify automatic transactions before the day-closure.
52. Modified: It was not possible to enter transactions in closed financial years (if accounting was activated). This was by design. However we have changed this policy and made it possible to save transactions in a closed financial year. The user is warned that the savings and loan ledgers will be updated but that the transactions will not be booked in the general ledger, thereby creating an imbalance between savings and loan totals from the sub-ledgers and the general ledger accounts that has to be corrected manually (Foccas, Uganda).
