Overview
This node integrates with the Fineract API to manage loan-related operations, specifically enabling users to process a refund by cash on a loan. It is useful in financial workflows where refunds need to be recorded against loans, such as correcting overpayments or handling returned funds. For example, a loan officer can use this node to register a cash refund transaction for a specific loan, specifying details like the refund amount, date, and payment type.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Loan ID | The unique identifier of the loan for which the refund is being processed. |
| Transaction Date | The date when the refund transaction occurred, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| Transaction Amount | The monetary amount of the refund being made. |
| Payment Type ID | Identifier for the payment method used for the refund (e.g., cash, check). |
| External ID | An optional external reference ID for the refund transaction, useful for reconciliation. |
| Note | Additional notes or comments related to the refund transaction. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the refund operation as returned by the Fineract API. This typically includes confirmation details of the refund transaction such as transaction identifiers, status, and any relevant metadata. The output does not include binary data.
Dependencies
