Transaction Downloads

The Transaction Download tab opens by default when you select the Administration option of the Rural Sourcing Management Web interface. Use this tab to monitor the current status of any transaction downloads and to initiate a new download.

Initiate a transaction download to create a report on all data related to all transactions captured in the field (all buying, loading, payment information, and so on). Transaction downloads are in the form of Excel spreadsheets. In the Excel file, there is one sheet for each transaction type that you have set up for the organization selected. Each transaction sheet contains columns for each of the data fields recorded for that transaction. This report gives you an overview of what is happening in the field. For instance, you can see how much of a particular product has been purchased or how many payments have been made to the farmers, and so on.

To initiate a download of the transaction data, select the organization from the Organization drop-down list and select a Start Date and End Date from the calendars provided, then click Generate. The progress of the operation is displayed in the Logs section of the screen. When your desired report is complete, the message "Data has been successfully exported. File is ready for download" displays in the Logs section and the Download button is enabled. Click Download to download the report to your computer.
