packaging

Egg Room Packaging is used when selling eggs from the farm. The packaging transaction will specify how the eggs will be packaged as well as the sales sku assigned to the egg product, which will be selected at the point of packaging.

A Farm Receiving transaction must be created before creating a Packaging transaction.

The following procedures are outlined in the Disposals document:

• Creating a Packaging Transaction
• Posting a Packaging Transaction

Create a Packaging Transaction

There are three components in the Packaging transaction creation process:

• Packages
• Eggs
• Field Products

1. In BMTS>BIM>Transactions>Egg Room, select Packaging.
2. In the Egg Room Packaging main index, click to add a new packaging transaction.

3. In the New dialog box, from Farm No, select the required farm.
4. Enter the Date on which the eggs will be packaged.
5. From Sales SKU No, select the required packaging unit and then click 'OK'.
6. In the Egg Packaging Trans screen, click to add a new packaging transaction line.
7. The Egg Room Inventory box will display all current inventory for the selected farm.

8. Select the required entity where the eggs will be packaged and, in the Units Entered field, enter the number of eggs to be packaged. Click 'OK'.
9. The fields in the Packages screen will auto-populate with no option to modify.

Posting a Packaging Transaction

Once the packaging transaction has been created and saved, the transaction needs to be posted. The posting process locks the transaction to prevent edits, and updates the inventory.

1. In the Packaging main index, select the required transaction 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 packaging transaction, select the required transaction and right-click to select 'Unpost'.  This process will set the transaction status to 'Reversed' status, which allows the transaction to be edited.
