This article explains how to link parent and child loans through the API. Parent-child loan linking functionality lets you designate multiple loans as the child of a single loan. When transactions are posted to the parent loan, a transaction is also posted to each child loan, in a percentage the user specifies. Transactions that get split and posted to child loans include: payments, charges, advancements, credits, and AutoPays. This allows you to give multiple loans to the same borrower, with the ability to track them as both a single loan, and individual loans. This is a one-dimensional link. This means that if a loan is a child of a parent, it cannot be the parent loan itself.

To link child loans to a parent, use the following request:

PUT https://loanpro.simnang.com/api/public/api/1/odata.svc/Loans(id)

Make sure to replace id with the ID of the parent loan. The payload should look like this:

{  
   "LoanChilds":{  
      "results":[  
         {  
            "id":null,
            "childId":"81",
            "enrolled":1,
            "percentage":50
         },
         {  
            "id":null,
            "childId":"79",
            "enrolled":1,
            "percentage":50
         }
      ]
   }
}

Then each child loan should have the following information:
