Input stocks and usage

Input stocks are recorded by input name, lot number, unit, quantity on hand and expiry date. Usage links a quantity and application date to a stock lot and a field task. This lets the team trace a consumed quantity back to the work that needed it.

• Identify the work. Start from the stock lot number, unit, on-hand quantity and expiry.
• Record the event. Use the task-linked usage row for the amount consumed.
• Review the result. After manager approval, compare the lot balance and usage; the workflow decrements the lot once.

Agree one unit for each lot and make the expiry date part of the approval review. The field-work workflow checks that the lot is unexpired and has enough stock in the matching unit before it appends usage and decrements the balance once.

Agree the unit recorded for each lot and who corrects a balance. Stock Keeper checks expiry and quantity before Farm Manager approves field work. Keep the linked People and Users records current so the named operator or reviewer can be found during the rehearsal.

Take a feeding task using a named lot. The stock keeper checks the current balance and expiry; the manager approves the task only when its field, cycle, operator and input are valid. Then compare the usage quantity with the changed on-hand balance. A repeated approval should not consume the same quantity again.

Ask Stock Keeper to compare the old and current balance with the new usage row. Check its task and lot references, then repeat the approval case to confirm no second decrement. Open the live record again after a deliberate change and agree who corrects it before the next step.

A stock lot can serve more than one task over time. Review the current balance before each approval and follow each usage row back to its task. An input application records field activity with a named applicator; the task-linked usage remains the record for the stock quantity consumed by approved work.

• Approved Field Tasks — Shows approved tasks that can carry linked consumption.
• Work In Progress — Shows work still underway after the stock decision.
