Step 2: Creating and Parameterizing Records#

2. Complete the mandatory fields in the record form:
   • Grant Agreement Reference (Mandatory): Official donor contract number and co-funding arrangement
   • Funding Currency & Budget (Mandatory): Donor currency (USD/EUR) and restricted ETB counterpart account
   • Start & End Dates (Mandatory): Contractual grant operational window and closeout timeline
   • ACSO Cost Ratio Classification (Mandatory): Operational program expenditure vs. administrative overhead allocation
3. Configure optional operational parameters and localized tags as required:
   • Co-Funding Share (Optional): Percentage split across multiple donors or institutional match
   • Target Beneficiary Woreda / Kebele (Optional): Geographic location of humanitarian intervention

Step 3: Validating and Processing Transactions#

• State Transitions: Execute operational state progression (Draft Agreement → Approved / Funded → Active Implementation → Budget Burn Monitored → Grant Closed).
• Ledger & System Impact: Expenditures debit grant-restricted project accounts and credit vendor payables/cash; foreign currency conversions record realized and unrealized FX variance.
• Audit Verification: Automated recording of author ID, timestamp, and immutable revision history.

Statutory Property Administration for Humanitarian Relief#

Relief materials stored in NGO warehouses (wheat flour, split peas, fortified cooking oil, blankets, dignity kits) must be accounted for using statutory Ethiopian property vouchers:

• Model 19 (Goods Receiving Note): Intake of purchased or in-kind relief commodities into central logistics hubs.
• Model 20 (Store Issue Voucher - SIV): Authorization releasing commodities to field distribution sites.

Planning & Executing a Field Distribution Event#

1. In NGO Grants > Aid Distribution > Distribution Events, click New Event.
2. Select Project, Target Woreda, and Distribution Site.
3. Load the verified beneficiary roster for the target Kebele.
4. Issue the Model 20 SIV Voucher:
   • Central warehouse dispatches: 500 bags of Wheat (50kg), 250 cartons of Cooking Oil.
   • The SIV records sequential number, donor grant code, and transport truck license plate.
5. At the distribution site:
   • Scan beneficiary QR code card or verify thumbprint.
   • Hand over ration kit; beneficiary signs electronic distribution manifest.
   • The system reconciles issued SIV inventory against signed beneficiary receipts, eliminating unaccounted commodity losses.

4. Advanced Configuration Points#

• Automated Actions & Scheduled Tasks (Crons):
  • NGO: Calculate ACSO 80/20 cost ratio compliance (smarterp_ngo.ir_cron_acso_ratio): Runs weekly to flag any operational overhead drift above 20% limit
  • Grants: Reconcile foreign currency funding variance (smarterp_ngo.ir_cron_fx_reconcile): Runs monthly to revalue restricted foreign currency bank accounts
• Custom Print Templates & Reports:
  • ACSO Statutory Annual Financial Statement (80/20 Rule)
  • Donor Financial Expenditure Report (Multi-Currency)
  • Beneficiary Relief Distribution Voucher (Model 20 SIV)
  • Time-and-Effort Personnel Timesheet Allocation Summary
• Multi-Company Rules: Record-level security isolation under Company 1 (Ashewa Technology Solutions S.C.), preventing cross-company ledger leakage across parent and subsidiary legal entities.
