How to add non-financial livestock events (like births and deaths) as planned items.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

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:

  1. The month of the event. A specific date can be selected by clicking on the calendar and selecting the day. (Event date)

  2. The type of event (Sale, Purchases, Births etc).

  3. The stock class (Code).

  4. A parent class for births (this allows the breeding percentages to be calculated).

  5. Tag (optional)

  6. A description (optional).

  7. The quantity of livestock involved (Qty).

  8. Add any additional information (Note)

  9. 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.
