Edit a farmer's details

You don’t need to go to Persons to fix a farmer’s details. You can do it from the farm.

Steps

1. Open the supplier from Suppliers.
2. In the supplier info card, scroll to the contact person / farmer section.
3. Click the field you want to change - code, first name, last name, gender, date of birth, email, identification number. The code sits above first name.
4. Edit it and save.

Where the change actually lands

On the person, not on the farm.

This matters. A person is a record in their own right, so the correction follows them everywhere: open them from Persons and you’ll see the same change. If that farmer is the contact for a second farm, that farm sees it too.

Use View person when you need the full person record rather than the summary on the supplier page.

Phone numbers

Phone numbers live on a person’s contacts, not as a field on the farm. If you’re looking for where to change a number and can’t find it on the supplier card, that’s why - open the person record.

Identification numbers are worth the effort

The identification number is the field that makes two farmers with the same name in the same village distinguishable. It’s tedious to collect and it’s the difference between a supply base you can audit and one you can’t. Fill it in where you have it.
