Indent Definition and Working in Sellifi App

Indent

An indent in the Sellifi app refers to a formal agreement for a specific time range where the Farmer Producer Company (FPC) agrees to collect commodities from farmers (referred to as sellers). This process involves defining the type of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), their unit configurations, and the associated costs. Indents streamline the procurement workflow, ensuring clarity and efficiency in commodity collection.

  • Please note : A new indent can only be created once existing is settled, i.e payments to the sellers will be processed using Payment Gateway Integration such as Razorpay

Example:

Let’s say the FPC is organizing the collection of bitter gourd. The indent may include the following unit configurations:

  • Labour Charge as one unit with a specified cost.
  • Per Kilogram as another unit with its price.
  • Per Tonne as an additional unit with its price.

The app will calculate the total cost based on the procured amount and the configured units. For example, if 100 kg is procured at a specified price per kilogram and additional labour charges apply, the app will compute the final total cost automatically.
