Order Rules are used for planning purposes in HPA. Based on the rules that are defined for the product, the HPA will process the sales order allocation of product.
The Min Flock Age determines the minimum flock age in weeks of the parent flock that will source orders for this product.
The Max Flock Age determines the maximum flock age in weeks of the parent flock that will source orders for this product.
The Min Egg Age indicates the minimum egg age in days of the egg that will be set as the source to an order for this order. The egg age is the number of days from the egg production date to the set date.
The Max Egg Age indicates the maximum egg age in days of the egg that will be set as the source to an order for this order. The egg age is the number of days from the egg production date to the set date..
Primary Breed Priority indicates the order of importance to placing the primary breed as defined on the Breeds tab. Each priority should be numbered from 1-4 in the order of which the HPA should consider how to source an order.

Flock Age Priority establishes the order of importance for flock age requirements as defined in the flock ages tabs with 1 being the highest priority.
Source Quantity Priority indicates the importance of sorting the largest number of eggs from the fewest sources.
To further explain the
priority process, For example, an international order of grandparents,
the first consideration is Primary Breed, so "1" would be entered
in the Primary Breed box. Order of Rules would be #2, Flock Age #3, and
Quantity of Sources #4. This would first select all sources of the
“Breed” to be the highest priority, then perform the next selection based
on the sources that fall within the flock age and egg age requirements
of the “Order Rules." Next it will sort those selected sources by
flock age to put the youngest flocks at the top, and then the “Quantity
of Sources” becomes a product of what is available to choose from in the
previous selections.
The Bill of Materials tab is used to determine the products that must be used to ship the product. Based on the products that are entered in this tab, the system will create automatic usage transactions for the products required to ship the product.
