# Product Mix

The **Product Mix** function allows a financial institution to define rules that restrict the loan accounts that may be held by a client at once. Mifos X checks a client's active loan accounts when a new loan is being disbursed. If there is a conflict between the client's active loan accounts and the loan account to be disbursed, it will result in an error and the new loan account will not be disbursed.&#x20;

By default, the system does not restrict any product combinations.

### **Navigation**

1. From the [Welcome Page](/mifosx/user-manual/for-all-users/untitled/welcome-page.md), select [**Admin**](/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration.md), then[ **Products**](/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration/products.md) from the drop-down menu.

**NOTE:** Before you can define a product mix, you must be logged in to Mifos X with a username that has permission to define product mixes.&#x20;

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can decide which types of products a given client or group can mix. In this way, you can restrict clients from having active loans or savings accounts of different products at the same time.

For example: if you have three different loan products (A, B, and C), you can make a rule that if a client has taken loan A, then the client can have loan B but not C.&#x20;
