The Payments screen appears only when the Payment module is enabled in Company Settings. Loans need the Loan module.
GrowthTak CBF can track the money flowing between you and your contacts — paying farmers their GC, paying suppliers, receiving from traders, and recovering loans.

​
Recording a payment

Go to Transactions → Payments → New.

Recording a payment.

A payment’s direction is automatic — money in from a trader (customer), money out to a farmer or supplier.

​
Receipts

Each payment can print a Receipt (the printer action in the list), showing your company header, the contact, amount, method, reference, and any linked batch/loan deduction.

The Payments list, with per-row Receipt action.

​
Loans & repayments

With the Loan module on, you can advance money to farmers and track it:
  • A Loan record increases what the farmer owes.
  • A Repay record (or a payment’s loan deduction, or a GC deduction) reduces it.
  • A farmer’s outstanding is total loans − total repayments.
When you save a GC with a Payment Deduction, GrowthTak CBF creates the matching repayment automatically, so the loan balance always reflects GC recoveries.

​
Settling the GC

After calculating and saving a batch’s GC, pay the farmer the GC payable. You can:
  • Record a payment to the farmer linked to the batch, or
  • Use Mark as paid on the GC Paid report, which records the GC payment and sets the batch’s GC status to Paid.
Reconcile regularly with the Outstanding and Loan reports so you always know what’s owed to and by each contact.
