### To make a repayment using the collection sheet (and productive collection sheet)

The collection sheet is a way to create bulk transactions for repayment of loans (For more information, please Click Here). You can use collection sheet in two ways.

* Using it as a Productive Collection Sheet where you have to provide three parameters, namely: Office, Meeting Date and Staff & later you can chose respective centers before submission.
* Using it as just a 'Collection Sheet' where you can provide Office, Meeting Date, Staff and Center. Providing 'Group Name' is optional here.&#x20;

### Using Productive Collection Sheet:

* Go to the left panel and click on 'Collection Sheet'.
* The following window appears. Provide office name, meeting date and staff.
* Click on 'Productive Collection Sheet' to see the following window where you can select the center (the selected center is shown with Amber color). It also shows Branch Office Name, Meeting Date and center total collection for the given meeting date in terms of loan product. Here, 16200 is the collection for one loan product and 321 is the collection for another loan product.

* As you can see, there are two groups and each group has three clients. IGL is the loan product (short name) for the group 'Santa Maria Group 2' and VRL is the loan product for the group 'Santa Maria Group 1'. You can see 'Due' for each client as well as the due for each group and you can also see Attendance where using the drop-down menu, you can select whether the client is present, Absent, Leave, Late and Approved.
* Once you verify all the details are correct, you just click on 'Submit' button.&#x20;

### Using Collection Sheet:

* Go to the left panel and click on 'Collection Sheet' to see the following window.
* Provide all the details (Selecting Group is optional. If you select the group, the collection sheet for that group is shown only, otherwise the collection sheet for all the groups for the selected center will be shown) and click on 'Collection Sheet' button to see the following window.
* Just like the previous one, verify the details and click on 'Submit' button. If everything goes fine, You will get the message "Collection Sheet Saved Successfully".&#x20;

### To make loan repayments from a saving account (one time transfer)

Locate the saving account from which the loan repayment will be made (the originating account).

{% hint style="danger" %}
The saving account from which the transfer originates needs not belong to the same client that the loan account belongs to. The client who owns the originating account must request/authorize the transfer.

The originating and destination accounts must be in the same currency.
{% endhint %}

1. Click the saving account name in the list to view the saving account information.
2. Click **More** and **Transfer Funds** from the action bar.

### To make loan repayments from a saving account (standing instruction transfer)

Standing instructions can be set up to transfer funds from a saving account to a loan account. The transfer will take place based on the schedule defined in the standing instruction. For a loan repayment, the standing instruction schedule can be set to match the loan repayment schedule.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The saving account from which the transfer originates needs not belong to the same client that the loan account belongs to. The client who owns the originating account must request/authorize the standing instruction.

The originating and destination accounts must be in the same currency.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
*Need to describe what happens when a standing instruction cannot be completed because of a shortage of funds in the originating account. There seems to be an outstanding issue in JIRA regarding re-attempts to satisfy the standing instruction.*
{% endhint %}

Locate the client or group whose savings account will be the origination of the funds for the transfer.

1. Click **More** and **Create standing instructions** to create new standing instructions.
