How do I record a milk delivery?βΌ
Navigate to Deliveries from the sidebar and click the "Record Delivery" button. Search for the member, select the session (morning/evening), enter the quantity in litres and fat percentage, then select the grade. The delivery is instantly saved and the member receives an SMS confirmation if notifications are enabled.
How are member payments calculated?βΌ
Payments are calculated using the formula: Net Pay = (Total Litres Γ Price per Litre) - Total Deductions. Deductions include loan repayments, agrovet input costs, management fees (3%), share capital contributions, transport levies (KES 0.50/L), and welfare fund (KES 500/month). You can review and adjust these rules under Deductions β Deduction Rules.
How do I approve a loan application?βΌ
Go to Loans β Pending Applications tab. Each application shows the member's credit score, existing loans, and requested amount. Review the eligibility check (60% of 3-month average income rule), then click "Approve" or "Decline". Approved loans are automatically added to the member's deduction schedule.
How does the agrovet input credit system work?βΌ
Members can purchase farm inputs from partner agrovets on credit. The agrovet records the purchase against the member's ID, and it appears in Agrovets β Member Input Credits. At the end of the month, the total input cost is automatically deducted from the member's milk payment. Monthly reconciliation ensures agrovet invoices match member deductions.
Can I export reports in different formats?βΌ
Yes! Go to Reports and use the Quick Report Generator. Select the report type, period, and format (PDF, Excel XLSX, or CSV). Click "Generate" and the report will be ready for download. You can also set up automated scheduled reports that are emailed to you or your board.
How do M-Pesa payments work?βΌ
CoopManager integrates with Safaricom's Daraja 2.0 API for B2C payments. Once payments are approved in Payments β Payment Preview, click "Process M-Pesa Payments" in the Disbursement tab. Funds are sent directly to each member's registered M-Pesa number. The system tracks transaction status in real-time and retries failed transactions automatically.
How do I add a new member?βΌ
Go to Members β Add Member. Fill in personal information, upload KYC documents (National ID front/back, passport photo, land document), enter location and farm details, next of kin information, and set the membership payment details. You can save as draft or complete registration. The member receives their unique ID (e.g., MEM-1248) upon registration.
What roles and permissions are available?βΌ
CoopManager supports 4 roles: Admin (full access), Clerk (deliveries, members, basic reports), Accountant (payments, deductions, loans, financial reports), and Field Officer (mobile delivery recording, member visits). You can manage roles in Settings β Users & Roles.
