Introduction
One of the spices categories is the pepper plant, which is a product of the plantation sub-sector. The pepper plant is one of the plants from the State of Indonesia that is taken into account in world trade [1]. Since the 1990s, Indonesia has dominated the world's pepper exports followed by India, Brazil, Vietnam, and China; however, in 2001-2013, Vietnam began to shift Indonesia's position as the world's old leading exporter [2]. One of the main producing and exporting provinces of pepper, especially white pepper in Indonesia, is in the Bangka Belitung Islands. The pepper plant is a mainstay commodity for people in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands because it has a reasonably high selling power and distinctive taste [3]. However, many problems occur because Bangka Belitung has a national and international role, resulting in less impact on pepper farmers' economic conditions. One of the factors is the level of pepper price fluctuations and disturbances originating from illegal mining that has been carried out in Bangka Belitung Archipelago Province. As well as the lack use of technology in the current 4.0 revolution era.
The majority of pepper farmers in the Province of Bangka Belitung Archipelago, in terms of purchasing materials such as fertilizers, seeds, equipment when applying for loans, or being asked how much capital and profit they receive is minimal about this knowledge. This means that there is no record of how much farmer expenses and revenues are because one of the most critical management is financial management. The way is to manage finances with accounting knowledge, which is then synergized with mastery of information technology [4]. Some pepper farmers keep financial records simple and even without financial records carried out by the farmers, so farmers still don't understand how the expenditures spent are comparable to the margins when they harvest the pepper.
However, in general, the recording of financial reports is still done manually, namely by recording transactions to a notebook and manually calculating the transaction data to produce financial statements in simple bookkeeping. However, this is inefficient, the large number of transactions that occur every day requires recording, calculating sales, and making reports that take a lot of time. Farmers in Indonesia have the skills and desire to increase agricultural production. Still, many problems occur, especially in the effectiveness of implementation and recording in the farming sector, therefore it is necessary to use technology to accelerate the production and sales process in agriculture [5], [6].
According to [7], [8] that financial statements are reports that describe the financial condition of an entity; our financial statements can monitor the development of an object. Information obtained in financial reports is used not only by owners or management but also by other parties who use it, such as investors, creditors, government, and even the general public.
Furthermore, according to the applicable accounting standards in Indonesia, it consists of 5 types of reports: income statements, changes in entity reports, changes in financial position, cash flow statements, and notes to financial statements. [9], [10]. This study aims to build a financial recording system for pepper farmers based on websites and android applications to make it easier for farmers to produce financial records and become a financial report for farmers and outsiders. With this financial recording system, farmers are expected to increase their productivity and capability in the financial sector and take advantage of the Internet and mobile applications that are widely used today. With this commercial recording application, farmers have added value and ability in the field of information technology and can compete with other farmers.
This application is used to help farmers in facing the industrial era 4.0 and to make it easier to do financial bookkeeping in planting pepper such as purchase records, both cash, and credit, sales of both money and debt, assets, capital and information about pepper that is useful for pepper farmers. The primary purpose of this financial recording application is for farmers to master bookkeeping, finance, and know the capital needed and the price of pepper when sold to make a profit. This application is also expected to help pepper farmers in financial management and make pepper farmers able to use information technology for their interests in welcoming the industrial era 4.0. Everyone must be able to master the field of information technology expertise.
This study refers to research [11][12] the result is that the application using android is feasible to use,but what distinguishes this research from the previous use of web-based applications, while this research in addition to web-based applications also uses mobile-based forms and this application is used for pepper farmers in carrying out financial records for pepper farmers when planting pepper from the start, until the harvest so that it can be seen that the capital issued and the results obtained after harvesting is profitable or even detrimental based on the records carried out by pepper farmers in Bangka.

Research Methods
Making this financial recording application uses the waterfall method, which will facilitate the development of this information system. The Waterfall method in the event of information systems is widely used because it facilitates development step by step starting from planning, analysis, testing, and system implementation can be seen in one unit as in Figure 1. Information systems where of hardware, software, and telecommunications networks that combines that use by people to build and use to collect, create, and distribute data or can be called information, usually in organizational settings [13].
The methods and stages of design, development, and implementation of an information system using the waterfall method so that the sustainability of the system that has been provided can be sustainable [14]. The next phase of digitizing system development of information system data using the waterfall method website-based that will show in Figure1 [15], [16].

Figure 1. Waterfall Method
The waterfall method in this study is described as follows [

Design of the Financial Recording System
To build this website and mobile financial application using PHP and MySQL and Android Studio and design a display that is easy to use by pepper farmers so that pepper farmers can use this commercial recording application efficiently and adequately. The mobile app uses the Android Studio, which can be used on an Android-based smartphone to make it easier for pepper farmers because, currently, most people have used an Android-based smartphone. The menu in this financial recording application must be complete so that pepper farmers are interested in using this application and facilitating the management of financial data for pepper farmers.
