granularity change

The Egg Room Granularity Change is a method to alter the way the eggs are recorded. For example, a granularity change will be used if the receiving was done by house, but moving forward, information should only be recorded by entity. In the Granularity Change screen, there are options to change the granularity so that data will be keyed in against those eggs.

An Egg Room Farm Receiving transaction must be completed prior to created a Granularity Change.

The following procedures are outlined in the Farm Receiving document:

• Creating a Granularity Change
• Posting a Granularity Change

Create a Granularity Change

1. In BMTS>BIM>Transactions>Egg Room, select Granularity Change.
2. In the Egg Room Granularity Change main index, click to create a new granularity change.
3. In the New Record dialog box, from Farm No, select the required farm.
4. Enter the Date of the transaction and then click 'OK'.
5. The Granularity Change screen will display all current farm receiving transactions for the selected farm, if applicable.

6. Click to add a new line. This automatically defaults to an 'Entity' change. Alternatively, select the drop-down menu to add a new line "To House." To Entity is the flock with the same identification, usually the Farm/Entity No. To House is the level below the entity.
   
   

7. The Egg Room Inventory  box will display all current inventory for the selected farm.

8. Select the required receiving transaction to be altered and, in the Units Entered field, enter the number of units to be changed. Click 'OK'.
9. The information will default into the granularity change fields.

10. The following fields can be modified if required:
1. Complex Entity No - represents the entity that produced the eggs.
2. Units - displays the number of eggs being modified.
3. Outside Temperature - used to enter the recorded external temperature of the farm. Outside Temperature can be entered in either oF or oC.
4. Vehicle Temperature - used to record the trailer temperature and can be entered in oF or oC
5. Ref No - an optional field to enter a unique reference number to identify the transaction. This can either be entered manually or automatically-generated
6. Load No - an optional field to enter the load number of the delivery.
7. Uniformity M - an optional field to enter the consistency of the weight of the male birds.
8. Egg CV Uniformity - an optional field to enter the coefficient variable for the weight samples. A CV uniformity column is available for each sex.
9. Vehicle No - indicates the vehicle used to transport the eggs.
10. Driver No - displays the name of the driver who will be transporting the eggs.
11. Buggy No - indicates the buggy used if the eggs were loaded directly onto a buggy.
12. Base Hatch - defines the hatchability of the eggs.
11. Click to save the change (s) before closing.

Post a Granularity Change

Once the granularity change has been created and saved, the record needs to be posted. The posting process locks the record to prevent edits, and records the quantities to the entities.

1. In the Granularity Change main index, select the required record and right-click to select 'Post'. Alternatively, click the green check mark in the top menu bar and select 'Post'.
2. To un-post a granularity change record, select the required granularity change and right-click to select 'Unpost'.  This process will set the record status to 'Reversed' status, which allows the record to be edited.
