At Sensorica, people sometimes make loans that not really considered contributions, rather actual short term loans that will be paid back asap, and not necessarily based on income distribution.
Recommendation from our walk:
New event type of Loan. For input, this can go on the Cash Contribution page as another type, Contribution, Donation, Loan. (All of these are event types.)
Then handle pay back through our current structure. Make a distribution using a simple value equation for loans. This makes use of the data structure of claims, paying off of claims, etc. See if this will work as is using dates and other existing filters. If not, add as needed. A distribution would take directly out of the appropriate virtual account (not from a sale or shipment) and distribute to the person's virtual account, and they would take a payout as with other distributions.
Added loan event type and choice in the Cash Contribution page. So, loans can be logged. We'll have to experiment to make sure the distribution side can handle them. Leaving issue open for that.
