FINERACT-2471: Implement 'Force Debit' functionality for Savings Accounts with Configurable Limits

[Saifulhuq01]

Description

This PR implements Phase 1 of the "Force Debit" functionality for Savings Accounts, allowing financial institutions to enforce withdrawals even if the account has insufficient funds, up to a globally configurable limit.

This implementation aligns with the community consensus (mailing list discussion Feb 5-6) to use a dedicated command force-withdrawal rather than overloading the standard withdrawal API.

Changes Implemented

1. New API Command: Introduced ?command=force-withdrawal for Savings Accounts.
2. Global Configuration: Added two new configurations:
   • allow-force-withdrawal-on-savings-account (Boolean)
   • force-withdrawal-on-savings-account-limit (Long/Monetary limit)
3. Permissioning: Added granular permission FORCE_WITHDRAWAL_SAVINGSACCOUNT.
   • Note: Defaulted to Super User (Role 1) via Liquibase migration.
4. Database Migration: Added Liquibase changelog 0220_force_withdrawal_configs.xml (using safe sequencing to avoid ID collisions).
5. Integration Testing: Added SavingsAccountForceWithdrawalTest.java with robust teardown logic to prevent test pollution in the CI environment.

Validation

• CI/CD: All Integration Tests (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL) are passing.
• Functional: Verified that standard withdrawals fail on low balance, while force withdrawals succeed (within the configured limit).
• Clean Up: Verified that global configs are reset after tests to maintain environment stability.

Next Steps (Phase 2)

As discussed, @ayush will pick up Phase 2 to handle:

• Reason Codes
• Notification triggers
• UI integration

@IOhacker Thanks for the heads-up regarding FINERACT-2177.

I have squashed the changes into a single clean commit and rebased on top of the latest develop to ensure all recent CI fixes are included.

The branch is now up-to-date and ready for the workflows to be approved.

Thanks for the clear breakdown,

@Saifulhuq01! The Phase 1 implementation looks solid.

I have started reviewing the changes—specifically the SavingsAccountForceWithdrawalTest.java and the new permission logic—to ensure my implementation of Phase 2 (Reason Codes & Notification triggers) aligns perfectly with this structure.

I'll be ready to open the Phase 2 PR once this is merged.

@ayushscodes-cs Thanks for the review.

Please focus your checks on SavingsAccountForceWithdrawalTest.java and the FORCE_WITHDRAWAL_SAVINGSACCOUNT permission logic. This architecture defines the boundary for the Core Engine.

Ensure that your Phase 2 implementation (Reason Codes/UI) consumes these configurations strictly as defined here, without altering the underlying transaction processing flow.

@Saifulhuq01 please make sure that the title of the PR follows the naming convention it must bd (without double quotes) "FINERACT-2471: Implement 'Force Debit' functionality for Savings Accounts with Configurable Limits"

Hi @IOhacker,

Thank you for your guidance! I've squashed all commits into a single GPG-signed commit as requested. The commit is now verified

I noticed the "Fineract PR Compliance" check is failing due to the PR title format. The error is:

PR title '[FINERACT-2471] Phase 1: Implement 'Force Withdrawal' for Savings Accounts' is invalid.
It must start with a Jira Ticket ID (e.g., 'FINERACT-123: Description...').

Unfortunately, I cannot edit the PR title through the GitHub UI (the edit button is not available for external contributors on this repository).

Could you please update the PR title to:
FINERACT-2471: Implement 'Force Debit' functionality for Savings Accounts with Configurable Limits

JIRA Ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2471

Thank you!

Seems ok overall, kindly address review comments

This else if is becoming too long i think we can optimise this further

This else if is becoming too long i think we can optimise this further

@Aman-Mittal Valid point. This class definitely relies heavily on the else-if chain pattern.

However, for this specific PR, I intentionally stuck to the existing pattern to ensure consistency with the surrounding code and to strictly limit the sco0pe of changes to the "Force Withdrawal" feature.

I am hesitant to refactor the command dispatch logic here as it would require touching legacy paths (standard withdrawal/deposit) which increases regression risk. I think a structural refactor would be better suited for a dedicated "Technical Debt" PR.

Does that sound reasonable?

[Aman-Mittal]

This is bringing too much noise in review this comment part can be reverted

@Aman-Mittal Thanks for the feedback.

I realized that the logging/refactoring changes were adding unnecessary noise to this PR.
I have reverted those commits to keep this PR strictly focused on the 'Force Withdrawal' logic.

The code is now back to the clean state. Ready for re-review.

[Aman-Mittal]

Ok, I think we can make ticket for this type of refractor.

@Aman-Mittal Agreed. I have created FINERACT-2471 to track this refactoring as a technical debt item.

Thanks for the review.

FORCE_WITHDRAWAL_SAVINGSACCOUNT_CHECKER permission needs to be implemented as well please

@anmotayo Valid point.

I have updated the changelog to include FORCE_WITHDRAWAL_SAVINGSACCOUNT_CHECKER to ensure full compliance with the standard Maker-Checker workflow.

[IOhacker]

Why it contains ".apt_generated" folders ?

[Saifulhuq01]

Why it contains ".apt_generated" folders ?

Good catch. I noticed those folders hung around due to a git tracking/cache issuue on my end.

I'm currently resolving some Cucumber test failures on my local fork to ensure the logic is solid. Once those are green, I'll push the update and the IDE artifacts will be purged.

[Saifulhuq01]

@adamsaghy @anmotayo I have resolved the conflicts, removed the IDE artifacts, and verified the Maker-Checker permissions. The build is fully green in local.

I am hoping to get this merged before the Community Call on Monday so I can reference it during the Roadmap discussion regarding the GSoC Idempotency proposal. Thanks!"
