7. Making Manual Disbursements

The Consumer Lending Module of Oracle FLEXCUBE supports the following modes for loan disbursements:

If you select the mode ‘Auto’, the system will automatically disburse the loans based on the disbursement schedule defined for the product.

In the manual mode, disbursement happens on demand. In this case, disbursement schedules need not be maintained for the ‘PRINCIPAL’ component. Also, you can collect any applicable charges related to the disbursement at the time of making the disbursement. These charges are defined at the product level.

When a loan is disbursed either in the ‘manual’ or in the ‘auto’ mode, the system will utilize the collateral, collateral pool, facility, or liability only for the amount that is disbursed.

You have to specify the disbursement mode as a preference at the time of setting up a Consumer Lending product in the system.

Note

If you have selected the ‘Group/CIF’ status processing option at the branch parameters level and a manual disbursal results in a status change for the account, then the status change processing will be done only during the end-of-day batch processing. The process will work as follows:
