Q12 Does Farm Manager track all of my produce weights?                        Back to top

A12 Farm Manager lets you weigh each bin of produce or enter a total weight for a number of bins of produce when you receive them. If you do not enter any weights then Farm Manager uses the default weight of a bin of that variety of produce. The same applies to traded units of produce, in all cases you will get a net and gross weight which is automatically calculated by deducting the bin or packaging weight from the gross.

Q13 Does Farm Manager allow me to sell by the Kg?

A13 Yes you can sell any traded unit type by the kg.

Q14 Can I buy packed produce from another packhouse?

A14 Yes you can buy packed produce from another packhouse but you will need to add it to a production run and make a new pallet from it.

Q17 Is waste captured in Farm Manager?

A17 Farm Manager allows you to record arrival waste and production run waste so that you can report on shrinkage.

Q18 Can I grade my produce into bins for packing at a later date?

A18 You can make a grading run where you add bins of produce to the run as per normal and then make graded stock from it. This graded stock is then available, like any other stock arrivals, for adding to a production run for packing at a later date.
