Eggs Set

 

Eggs Set is used when eggs are taken from the egg room inventory and, based on customer orders/demands, eggs are set to meet this demand. The eggs set record removes the eggs from the egg room inventory and places them in the setter inventory. There is an option in the set screen when selecting eggs, to group the eggs together based on how the inventory data is filtered. For example, the inventory could be filtered by breed and production date and the grouping option will select the eggs that meet the criteria.
