While creating your plan, we must add in planned non-financial events (such as births and deaths) as well as financial events (sales and purchases). These events are recorded in the Livestock tab of your plan.
TIP: You can not enter births and deaths in the cashflow as there is no cash associated with non-financial events.
For each event, you should record the following:
The month of the event. A specific date can be selected by clicking on the calendar and selecting the day. (Event date)
The type of event (Sale, Purchases, Births etc).
The stock class (Code).
A parent class for births (this allows the breeding percentages to be calculated).
Tag (optional)
A description (optional).
The quantity of livestock involved (Qty).
Add any additional information (Note)
Click Add.
TIP: If you can't see a birth event for a stock class, check the code settings.
The breeding status on the code needs to be set to Progeny to enter births against that stock class.
If you can't see a parent stock class on the birth event, i.e. MA Ewes, check the code settings. The breeding status on the code needs to be set to Breeding to be selected as a mother.
