Farm inputs (store credit)

The Farm inputs screen lets a Store Keeper issue fertiliser and other inputs to a member on credit during a season. The value is automatically recorded as an input-credit deduction, so it's withheld from the member's payout — no double entry.

Permissions: INPUT_READ (view), INPUT_ISSUE (issue). Typical role: Store Keeper (Finance Officers and Cooperative Admins can view too).

The farm inputs screen

Pick the season at the top — the list and every issue are scoped to it.

Issuing an input

  1. Click Issue input.
  2. Search for the member.
  3. Enter the item (e.g. "DAP fertiliser 50kg"), the quantity, and the unit price.
  4. Save. CherryLedger multiplies quantity × unit price for the total and stores it.

How it reaches the payout

Every issue creates a matching Input credit deduction for the total amount. That means:

  • It shows on the member's statement as a line reducing their net payable.
  • It's automatically recovered in the next payout run.

One entry, two views

You'll see the same amount here (with the item detail) and on the Deductions tab as an Input credit line. They're the same credit — recorded once, shown in both places.
