Assigning an Input Quota to an Individual Farmer

It is possible to set an input quota for one farmer at a time directly on the Administrator System.

Procedure

  1. Click on the Input Supply tab on the left side of the screen.
  2. Click Add at the top right of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and choose the organization that the farmer belongs to that for which you want to create a quota assignment. This will filter so only the farmers within that organization are shown in the list below.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the pop-up window and click on the name of the farmer for which you want to set an input quota.

    You can also search for the farmer by typing their name into the search bar, searching farmers according to their registration status or by filtering for all, active, or inactive persons.

  5. After choosing the farmer, scroll back to the top of the pop-up window and fill in information about the quota you want to set.
    1. Enter the <Start Date> and <End Date> for the quota assignment. This means the input can be distributed to the person within this window of time when the quota assignment is valid.
    2. Enter the <Product / Input> the quota is for.
    3. Enter the <Quota Amount> you want to assign for the product/ input.

      Check what unit of measurement is assigned to the input in the administrator system. For example, Urea may come in grams while seeds may come in bags. This information will appear next to each input in the list.

    4. After you enter a quota amount, the system will automatically generate how many units of the product/ input the farmer will receive per mapped hectare.

      This will only appear if the farmer’s total farm hectares have been mapped in the system.

      This can help guide you to decide on a quota assignment. For example, if you want to give the farmer about 2 bags of Urea for each of his farm’s hectares, the system can help you validate your estimation. By typing in 3 bags of Urea, the system validates that this will provide for about 2 bags per hectare.

    5. Enter the <Operation Status> of the quota assignment.

      A green check mark indicates that the quota assignment is active in the system.

      A red "x" indicates that the quota assignment is inactive in the system.

  6. Click Save.

    Now the quota assignment set for the input for the selected farmer is effective in the Administrator System (if the Operation Status was set to active – green check mark).

  7. If you want to set a quota assignment for a different input for the same farmer or for a different farmer entirely, repeat steps 1-6.
