At the end of the day the agent hands over cash. The cashier enters what was received, the system compares it with what was collected, and every difference is recorded.

Short answer: In CK Tech microfinance software, settlement reconciles the cash an agent hands over against the payments the agent collected. The cashier enters the cash received; the system stores the expected amount, the received amount, any shortage and the remarks. A shortage needs remarks, cash above the collected total is refused, and all of the agent's unsettled payments are marked settled under one settlement number.
| Who settles | The cashier, for one collection agent at a time |
|---|---|
| Stored | Expected, received, shortage, remarks |
| Rules | A shortage needs remarks; cash above the collected total is rejected |
| Result | The agent's unsettled payments are marked settled under one settlement number |
| History | Earlier settlements can be reviewed |
Settlement is a short, fixed routine, so it takes the same minutes every day.
The screen shows what the agent collected and has not yet handed over.
The cashier counts the cash and enters the amount received.
The system keeps the expected amount, the received amount and the shortage side by side.
If the cash is short, remarks are mandatory, so the reason is on record.
All of the agent's unsettled payments are marked settled under one settlement number.
Because collections are made in cash by people in the field, a daily comparison finds a difference while it is still one day old and one agent wide. The settlement history lets you look back at which agent was short, by how much and what the reason was.
Settlement is a screen like any other, so access follows the user's role. Only users whose role has the settlement privileges can open it or settle an agent.
