Loan account applications that have been approved can be disbursed to a negotiable payment type (e.g., Cash, Check, M-Pesa) or to a saving account linked to the loan application. When a loan account is disbursed, its status changes from Approved to Active.
A disbursement made in error can be undone. When a disbursement is undone, the loan account status changes from Active to Approved.
When a loan is disbursed, Mifos x will check the Product Mix rules to ensure that the loan account being disbursed is allowed to be active with other active loan account types. If a conflict is identified, the loan account cannot be disbursed as long as the conflicting loan is active.
