Harvest Totals

The Harvest Totals entry window allows you to enter the number of units harvested for each day, crew, grower and field.  This information can be used by the program to provide the grower with a Harvest Analysis on the Grower Labor Report.  This analysis calculates the cost per unit for the total number of boxes, cartons, cases, etc harvested.  Having this cost information can assist the grower in making management decisions.

If you are using the optional Cost Accounting module, the harvest totals can also be used to supply yield information on the Labor Contractor Profit Analysis Report.  This report will provide a per yield breakdown for both the current period totals (usually a single pay period) and season to date totals.

Go to Labor Reports > Harvest Totals. 

At the top of window, you can enter the starting and ending dates, grower account, and crew # of the entries that you want to display.  (By default, the grid will display all entries that have been made.)

For each line in the harvest totals file, you will enter the following information:

Tag #

Date

Enter the date harvested.  You can make separate entries for each day, or enter a total for the entire pay period.  If entering a total for the pay period, use the pay period ending date.

Crew ID

Enter the crew # that harvested the units you are entering.  The crew number can be left blank if you are entering the totals for the Labor Contractor Profit Analysis Report.  It is required if you want the Grower Labor Report to print the Harvest Analysis information.

Grower

Enter the grower account number, or press [F4] to select a grower account from the lookup.  This is required for the entry to appear on the Harvest Analysis.

Crop ID

Enter the Crop ID for the field that was harvested, or press [F4] to select a Crop ID from the lookup.  This is also required for the entry to appear on the Harvest Analysis.

Job ID

Enter the Job ID or press [F4] to select the Job ID from the lookup.  The Job ID is optional for the Harvest Analysis that prints on the Grower Labor Report. 

If you do select a Job ID, the analysis will only include labor that was also entered under the same Job ID in the cost/unit calculations.  For instance, if you enter different Job ID’s for supervisors, forklift drivers, or other workers not directly harvesting the crop, their wages will not be included in the cost per unit.  Only the labor for those workers whose earnings was entered with the same Job ID that you use here will be used for the cost per unit.

Units

Enter the number of units harvested (e.g. bins, cartons, cases, boxes, etc.)

Unit Type

Enter the unit type, up to six letters.  Use an abbreviation if necessary (e.g. CTNS for cartons).

Rate

After entering the harvest totals, you may print a report that provides subtotals for the units for each Crop ID and grower as well as totals for all entries.
