Chick Distribution is used to source orders on day of hatch. Chick Distribution represents the projection of specific chicks allocated to the orders of that date by hatchery. If the egg allocation was set in Egg Distribution, the allocations will flow from Egg Distribution to Chick Distribution. The distribution can be modified as required. If the allocation was not completed in Egg Distribution, the allocation can be completed manually in Chick Distribution. Once the actual hatch has been entered and posted, the actual distribution can be completed and the order shipments automatically created from the distribution posting.
The following items must be created prior to using Poult Distributions.

The Egg Allocation grid identifies the eggs that have been allocated to the order using the HPA projection or allows the user to assign the eggs to an order for direct assignment from inventory. Based on the demand that is determined in the Demand grid, the eggs can be allocated based on projected egg availability or actual egg inventory. For each method , there will be an option to select eggs from egg room inventory or projected available eggs. When using automatic allocation methods, the logic needs to look to the product to determine breed requirements and then the breed code to determine if the eggs are distributed using FIFO or LIFO assignment . The eggs will also be restricted to the breed and generation assigned to the product on the sales order or placement. Grouping options will be required to group eggs by Buggy, Entity, Breed, etc. In order to accomplish this functionality, the filter bar will is required to be added to the Egg Sources and the Group By feature added. In order to allocate eggs to the demand, the user will select the required demand line and then select one of the following options to allocate eggs:
Allocate Direct – manual allocation feature that selects eggs from projected or actual inventory. The available actual or projected inventory will be filtered by breed and generation defined on the product.
Allocate Cross – this option is used to allocate males or females for cross utilization. Cross utilization allocation must be filtered by breed code and generation.
Import Allocations From HPA – imports projected egg allocation from HPA based on established rules.
Match from Projection – process transfers the projected allocation quantity to the actual inventory quantity. If the entire projection cannot be transferred, the remaining quantity will be left in the Projected column. The user will then need to use the Allocate Direct option to allocate the remaining eggs.
Clear Projection – the user will select the order line and right-click to select the Clear Projection option. This will delete the projected lines allocated to the order.
