Understanding Receipts

Use weigh tag operations to gather the receipt information in the system. The weight tag operation is a specialized procurement transaction that you use to receive the harvested crop into the processing facility. Typically, the weigh tag operation is the final step for each harvest.

The system creates an inventory receipt when the weigh tag operation is changed to a closed status. After you change the weigh tag operation status to closed, the system does not allow you to make changes to the operation. If you must make a change after the operation status is closed, you can reverse the operation, make the change, and then change the status back to closed.

The system creates an inventory receipt when a the weigh tag is changed to closed status. However, with a partial receipt weigh tag, the system adds a receipt and updates inventory at any status greater than Draft.

In a simple business, the receipt appears to be a straightforward purchase order receipt. The system creates an inventory record for the item at the designated cost.

In more complex grower businesses, the receipt is part of a weigh tag as the vehicle crosses a weigh bridge. The weigh tag references both the harvest ID and the receipt ID. When the weigh tag operation is closed, the system creates a purchase order and a receipt in the Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) system.

The system uses the same purchase order number for all receipts against a harvest record.
