Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A field name can look familiar while its linked record points to another plot. Compare the field code and location before using the cycle or task.
  • A date entered after the work changed can leave the next person reading an old plan. Open the current record at the handoff.
  • Quantities need their recorded units. Keep stock use, field measurements and harvest evidence on their own source records.
