Selling Animals

Overview

This window allows you to record a sale for one animal or a batch of animals with same sale date, haulier, and destination premises.  Some drop-down boxes e.g. Group require setting up via the Setup | Program Settings menu; click the Setup menu item you require and then press F1 on the keyboard to get more help.
Follow the instructions in the order that they appear.

To record the sale of a single animal, simply bring up the animal's record in the Animal Details window and change the Status to "Sold".  Now click Save.   You will then be prompted to fill in the details to update the Movement Book (Premises moved to, etc.)

To record the sale of a batch of animals:

  1. Move your mouse pointer to the left-hand side of the screen and single left-click on the Data Entry Helper button.  The main portion of the screen will change to show a list of program tasks
  2. Click on the button for recording sales and disposals.  The Animal Sales window now displays (shown below).  You can also access this window from the Data Entry | Sales menu item.
