Finance manager: first day

Run the money side - sales, expenses, invoices, payments, allocation, and profitability.

Finance manager: first day

You own the money side at /finance. Every sale and expense flows through one allocation engine that splits shared costs across flocks by the method you choose.

What to do

  1. Record sales and expenses. Enter sales and expenses under /finance. Issue invoices and record payments as money moves.
  2. Understand allocation. When one expense covers several flocks, the allocation engine splits it fairly. Configure allocation rules, price books, and margin floors under /finance/setup.
  3. Plan ahead. Use budgets and recurring expenses so the plan reflects real commitments.
  4. Read profitability. Read profitability by flock to see which flocks earn and which cost. This is where complete daily records pay off.
  5. Handle corrections. Corrections are new entries; a re-allocation supersedes the prior one. Nothing is silently edited, so the trail stays clean.

Watch out

Finance entry is limited to managers by default. Farm workers do not record sales and expenses unless you give them permission. Keep roles tight, and remember every correction is auditable under /audit.
