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.
By default, the system does not restrict any product combinations.
From the Welcome Page, select Admin, then Products from the drop-down menu.
This will launch the Products menu. Select Product Mix.
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.
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.

3. Select the loan product from the drop-down menu (for instance: Agriculture). After choosing the loan product, you can decide which loan products a client can get (Allowed Products) and which loan products are prohibited for the client (Restricted Products).

Move loan products from the Restricted Products list to the Allowed Products list by clicking on the product name and clicking on <<.
