Forfeiture
Forfeiture handles the cancellation of partly-paid or non-compliant shares where a member has failed to meet a call or breached a holding condition. The screen records the affected holding, the reason, and the units forfeited, then posts their removal and reallocates them to the SACCO's forfeited-shares pool. It enforces the by-law remedy for unpaid calls.

Workflow
- Open Shares then Operations then Corporate Actions then Forfeiture.
- Select the member holding subject to forfeiture and record the grounds.
- Enter the units to forfeit and any amount already paid that is retained.
- Submit for the required approval before the action takes effect.
- Confirm to post the forfeiture and move the units to the forfeited pool.
