Payment Transaction Overview
A Payment transaction occurs when the smallholder farmer is paid for the product.
The Payment transaction usually follows the Individual Buying transaction. A Buying Station Manager can pay the smallholder farmer using either cash or mobile payments. The system displays previous payments and advances, so the smallholder farmer can be paid an appropriate amount, based on the current delivery and on former payments and advances.
Once a payment is captured, the system provides an optional SMS functionality. If SMS receipts are enabled, as described in Mobile Settings and Preferences, the smallholder farmer can receive an SMS text message with a receipt of a payment.
- The smallholder farmer and a Buying Station Manager can meet face-to-face or there is no meeting point
- The smallholder farmer requests payment after delivering agricultural products to a buying station
Configuration is set up by the system administrator through the Web interface in conjunction with SAP personnel, as described in the Administration Guide.
