When you're working within a crop season, there are several different activities available for you to do.

This article will run you through the options available and how they impact your crop season.

  • Add Area change

  • Add Harvest

  • Add Transaction > Purchase

  • Add Transaction > Sale

  • Add Transaction > Application

Adding an area change

When setting up a crop season, you nominate the area where you will grow your crop. The area isn't static, so you can add an area change if needed.

This could be:

  • Adjusting (+ / -) the area of existing fields

  • Adding new fields

  • Removing existing fields

Adding a harvest

To record your crop harvest, you'll use a harvest transaction. Your harvest transactions can be either actual or forecasts, and you'll be able to enter:

  • Type (actual / forecast)

  • Harvest date

  • Notes

  • Product (e.g. Corn, or Wheat)

  • Yield

  • Price

  • Total harvest

  • Field distribution

Adding a transaction: Cost

If you need to purchase a product and you'd like to attribute its cost to your crop season, you can choose Add Transaction> Cost.

A cost can be either an actual or a forecast, and purchasing a product will send it to your product tracker as a product on hand.

When entering a cost, you'll enter the following invoice information:

  • Type (actual / forecast)

  • Cost and payment date

  • Contact (from preferred accounting software)

  • Reference

  • Notes

Along with this information, for each product you're adding you'll need to enter the following:

  • The item

  • The account for cost

  • Tax rate

  • Activity

  • Quantity and price

  • Field distribution

Adding a transaction: Sale

To sell a crop you have on hand, select Add Transaction > Sale.

A sale can be either an actual or a forecast, and selling a crop will affect your crop on hand in your product tracker.

When entering a sale, you'll enter the following invoice information:

  • Type (actual / forecast)

  • Purchase and payment date

  • Contact (from preferred accounting software)

  • Reference

  • Notes

Along with this information, for each item you sell you'll need to enter:

  • The item you're selling

  • The account for the sale to go into

  • Tax rate

  • Quantity and price

  • Crop season distribution

The final part of a sale is the ability to add related costs and other income - like freight or premiums.

Adding a transaction: Application

If you wish to record the usage of a product in your crop season, this is called an application. To add an application, choose Add Transaction > Application.

An application can be either an actual or a forecast, and applying a product will affect your product on hand in your product tracker.

When entering an application, you'll enter the following information:

  • Type (actual / forecast)

  • Application date

  • Notes

  • The item you're applying

  • The associated account (sales/purchase)

  • Activity

  • Quantity and price

  • Field distribution
