BTC Ledger User Guide
The cooperative's primary book — lending, investors and daily operations.
1. Daily Entries
Every movement of money is recorded as a category-driven, double-sided entry with an auto-generated reference (BTC-DE-XXXXXX). Inflow and outflow columns feed a running balance that can never be edited retrospectively.
- Pick a date and category (disbursement, repayment, investor inflow, OpEx, etc.).
- Optionally link the entry to a client so it appears in that client's ledger.
- Reconcile an entry with a coded reason — the reason is written to the audit trail.
- Voiding an entry is a critical action: it needs counterpart governance sign-off.
2. Lending Portfolio
Book facilities with tri-party sourcing: the borrowing client, the field agent earning commission, and the investor funding the principal.
- Choose flat rate, straight line or reducing balance to preview the amortisation schedule.
- Agent commission is calculated from the agent's default percentage and tracked until paid.
- Collateral type and details are stored against the facility for recovery workflows.
3. Investor Registry
Track equity roll-forward per investor: opening equity, additions, withdrawals and closing equity, with profit-share percentages driving the dividend engine.
- Run the dividend engine to distribute a profit pool pro-rata across active investors.
- Each distribution posts a matching outflow to the daily ledger automatically.
4. Staff Manager
- Every staff member carries a permanent BTC-SID-XXXXXX identifier used across audit logs.
- Tab access and action rights are granted individually and require dual sign-off to change.
- Switching a staff member to Inactive instantly ends all of their active sessions and blocks future sign-in, while their historical records remain intact.
5. Approvals & Audit
- Critical actions raised by an Admin must be decided by Management, and vice versa.
- Every state change is written to an append-only audit history that cannot be edited or deleted.
- Open 'View Audit History' on any request to see the full timeline with notes and timestamps.
6. WhatsApp AI Assistant
