Understanding Fonterra statements
Once your Fonterra connecter is set up, you will automatically receive two invoices in your Needs Action screen between the 15th-20th of the next month.
Invoice One: An invoice with related milk production information. The level of information supplied will depend on whether you selected the Fonterra statement display as Consolidated or Detailed.
Invoice Two: An invoice for deductions i.e. DairyNZ and Biosecurity levies.
Note: The Farm Source invoice is available through a separate connector. Learn more here.
What is Consolidated and Detailed?
Consolidated - displays a consolidated view of your Fonterra statement. Lines include:
this month's production including kgMS produced that month, and if appropriate
last season's retro/deferred payments,
for contract milkers; a payment allocation line
Detailed- displays all the lines in the Fonterra statement. This allows you to differentiate all the various payments eg: winter milk premium, volume adjustment payment etc. You can code or merge the various lines to meet your reporting requirements.
