Ask in plain words, for example "how much did labor on the La Loma plot cost me this year?" or "what was the profit on coffee?": the Owari Assistant adds up on the server the labor for each plot, expenses by type, classification, supplier, month or crop, and the sales, expenses and profit of the farm or of a crop for the dates you give.
What each plot costs
Tasks are recorded by plot, so the assistant gives you their cost plot by plot:
- "How much did labor on the La Loma plot cost me this year?"
- "Which plot cost me the most in day wages in September?"
- "How much have I paid, and how much do I still owe, for tasks on the El Alto plot?"
- "How much did I pay for weeding this year?"
- "How many kilos did each plot yield this year?", to compare what each one produces with what it costs.
Supply purchases are recorded by crop, not by plot. That's why there's no total cost per plot that includes supplies: by plot you see labor and production; supplies, by crop. We explain it in profitability and costs by plot.
Expenses and supplies
- "How much have I spent on fertilizers this year?"
- "Which supplier did I buy the most from this semester?"
- "How did my expenses look month by month?"
Total expenses add up purchases and labor, just like in "Home" > "Finance". When you group by classification or by supplier, only purchases are included, because labor doesn't have those details, and the assistant points that out.
Sales and profit
- "What was the profit on coffee this year?"
- "How much did I sell and how much did I spend between January and June?"
- "How much do I have left to pay, and how much do workers owe me in advances?"
- "Which product sold best and at what average price?"
Profit is what you sold minus purchases and labor, for the whole farm or for one crop. For it to show up, record your sales, purchases and expenses.
Fertilization: planned vs. applied
"How much did fertilizing plot 3 cost me this year, and how much had I planned?" The assistant compares the fertilization plan's projected cost, calculated per plot from the dose and the trees, with the fertilization tasks recorded and their cost. How that plan is built is explained in the fertilization plan.
Before you ask
- It answers with what your role can see: if your user has no access to sales or expenses, it won't give you those figures.
- On the Seed plan, sales and purchases and expenses aren't recorded, so there's nothing to calculate profit from.
- The figures come from what's been recorded: anything that wasn't entered won't show up.
