KENYA · GUIDE 0087 · EDITION 4.2
Farm record digitization in Kenya
Digitize farm purchases, harvests and sales from source records.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional farm digitization assignment for one calendar month: eighty purchase slips, forty sales invoices, thirty cash/bank receipt records and ten harvest sheets, one hundred sixty source documents. Deliver a source-indexed workbook, exception list and owner-reviewed monthly totals. Invoices and receipts may describe the same sale; preserve links instead of counting both as revenue. This is data entry/reconciliation, not an audit, tax filing or invented reconstruction of missing records.
Who is the first customer?
Farmers or groups with paper records.
