Contractors

Contractors (Contratistas) are the individuals or companies responsible for performing specific jobs on your finca. In the Field Tasks module, every piece of work is assigned to a contractor, allowing you to track exactly who is doing what, how much they should be paid, and how efficient they are.

1. Creating a Contractor

To register a new contractor, navigate to Farm → Contractors and click on Add Contractor.

Field Meanings

When filling out the creation form, keep in mind the following:

Name: The full name of the worker or the company name. This is how they will appear in dropdowns and reports.
Contractor Type:
- Field Worker: Standard workers who perform tasks like pruning, weeding, or fertilizing.
- Harvester: Specialized workers or crews focused on harvest operations.
- Other: Any other type of external service provider.
Document ID: The legal identification number (NIT, CC, or ID). This is crucial for formal payment records and generated PDFs.
Email & Phone: Contact information. While optional, providing an email allows the system to send notifications or reports if configured.
Address: The physical location of the contractor.

2. Managing Your Workforce

Once created, contractors can be assigned to Field Cycle Line Items.

Why is this important?

By assigning work to specific contractors, the system can:

Generate Payment Reports: Create a PDF summary of all work completed by a specific person within a cycle.
Track Efficiency: Compare how different contractors perform the same task (e.g., who is faster at “Plateo” while maintaining quality).
Audit Work: Link every field log back to the person responsible for the execution.
