There are times when income is received on the farm without the need for labour (see Off farm work) or the exchange of resources (see Sell resource activity). This activity allows income or remittances from family to be placed in a bank account (Finance type).

The following parameters are used to define this activity

Account to use

The amount earned.

The following components will add additional functionality to this activity

Timer

This activity will occur in every time-step unless timers are used to restrict this activity.

This activity is performed during the Get Resources Required event of the setup and time-step events. This is the standard, monthly clock event by which CLEM activities request resources and perform actions based on the resources provided, therefore this activity will compete with most activities in the time-step with their location in the simulation tree determining the order they are processed (this includes activities located on other CLEM and Market components). If this activity relies on another activity having been performed, or other activities rely on this activity in the time-step, ensure it has been performed in the correct order based on it's position in the simulation tree.
