Farm Receivings

The Egg Room Farm Receiving transaction records the egg being received at the hatchery from the entity. If the farm maintains an egg room process, there is an option to transfer the eggs from the farm egg room to the hatchery egg room.

The Egg Room Mode switch must be selected before creating an egg room farm receiving transaction. The switch is located in: Admin>System>Registry>Poultry Registry>Poultry>PMTS>Layer Breeder>Period End>BIM Farm Egg Room Mode. Select Direct Hatchery Deliveries.

Before creating a Farm Receiving transaction, the following must be created:

• Hatcheries
• BIM Farms
• BIM Houses
• BIM Entities

The following procedures are outlined in the Farm Receiving document:

• Creating a Farm Receiving Transaction
• Additional Options
• Posting a Farm Receiving Transaction
• Journal Transaction

• Recalculate Base Hatchability
  

Create a Breakout

In the Egg Room Farm Receiving transaction screen, the Options menu can be used to create a breakout transaction.

1. In the Egg Room Farm Receivings transaction screen, click the Options button and select Create Breakout.

2. The Create Breakouts dialog box will appear with all available receiving transactions.

Recalculate Base Hatchability

8. Click the `OK` button and the hatchability will be recalculated.

Post a Farm Receiving Transaction

Once the farm receiving transaction is saved and closed, the transaction can be posted. The posting process locks the transaction to prevent edits, and will add the product to egg room inventory and pass the statistical data back to the entity. Journals will be created if there is an internal price set up for the product. This amount will be reversed at period end when the actual amount is calculated. If there is no internal price, there are no journals.

1. In the Farm Receivings main index, select the required transaction, rick-click and select 'Post.' Alternatively, click the green check mark in the top menu bar and select 'Post'.
2. To un-post a farm receiving 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.
   

Journal Transaction

The posting process creates the journal transaction if there is an internal price set up for the product. In these cases, the journal transaction is created to debit the egg room inventory of the hatchery and credit the breeder that transferred out the farm eggs.
