How to work with funds

A certain number of fund codes are included in Mifos. You can associate these codes with specific named funds (such as funds made available by donors) that you use for loans and other services.

How to view existing funds

  2. A list of funds and their codes appears. It might look like this: mifosfundsview.png

How to define funds

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can define a new fund and assign it a fund code. This fund is then available when you create a loan product. You can also assign a new fund to a loan account after it has been created.

  1. Click Admin > Define New Fund. A screen like this appears:mifosdefinefund.png
