Record income and expenses

Log a sale or a cost in AlpacaKeep, tie it to animals, and split a shared cost across the herd.

To log money in or out, go to Finance and press New financial entry. Pick whether it is income or an expense, enter the amount, and save.

Steps

  1. Finance → New financial entry. This opens the entry form.
  2. Type. Choose Income or Expense.
  3. Category. Pick a category, like feed, vet, or sale.
  4. Amount and Date. Enter how much and when.
  5. Description (optional). Add a short note if it helps.
  6. Animals this entry covers. Pick the animals it is for, or choose Farm-wide expense (no specific animals) for shared costs like fencing.
  7. Cost split (when you pick several animals - Farm plan and up). Choose Split evenly so the amount divides equally, or enter a Per-animal amount for each one. The running Total must match the entry amount before you can save.
  8. Receipt (optional - Farm plan and up). Attach a receipt or document.
  9. Save. Press Save entry.

Good to know. Deleted an entry by mistake? You get a 30-second Undo right after, so a slip is easy to fix.

Plan. Money entries are visible to the Owner and Co-Owner only. Farmhands and Viewers cannot see Finance at all. See Who can see money on your farm.

Farm plan and up. Splitting a cost across several animals and attaching a receipt are on the Farm plan and up. Recording entries - and tying an entry to a single animal - is on every plan, and you can always export your entries as a CSV.
