How to manage supplies and machinery
Goal
Maintain the farm’s supplies and machinery catalogue, including inventory, availability and costs.
Steps
Open Supplies to review all items, available stock and low-stock warnings. Choose New Supply and enter the commercial name, category, unit, minimum stock, unit cost and supplier. Search with AI or upload a label to help prefill the product information.
Open Machinery to review equipment type, make and model, status and hourly cost. Choose New Machinery, select a tractor, sprayer, harvester, planter, drone or other implement, and complete its details.
Result
Supplies and machinery become available for assignment in an activity’s corresponding tabs, helping track their use, availability and costs.
Common mistakes
- Omitting minimum stock. Low-stock warnings depend on that threshold.
- Leaving hourly machinery cost blank. Activity cost reports cannot calculate that machinery component without the relevant cost data.
