Carcass settlement — deductions, bonuses and net proceeds
What this page helps you do
Section titled “What this page helps you do”Beef → Carcass settlement manages the reusable types of processor deductions and bonuses. It does not enter a payment for a particular animal. For that, open the animal’s Beef tab and its Kill-sheet settlement panel after a carcass and gross value are recorded. The two steps keep the catalogue of charges separate from the amounts on an actual statement. Beef features require a Beef or Mixed farm.
The settlement catalogue is tenant-scoped, although you reach it from a farm. A farm Owner or Manager can currently change it, and that change affects the choices shown across the organisation’s farms. Confirm with your organisation before changing shared labels, directions, status or defaults. Refresh the page before editing and avoid two people changing the same type at once because the current editor does not warn that an older screen is overwriting a newer change.
Manage the type catalogue
Section titled “Manage the type catalogue”Use Direction to show all types, only Deductions, or only Bonuses. Use Status to show all, active, or inactive types. Each card shows label, direction, stable code, optional default amount and an inactive badge when applicable. Edit changes the type’s fields; Deactivate/Activate changes whether it can be selected for a new settlement line. A previously saved line keeps its recorded direction and label.
Load standard set adds the current EU starter catalogue of common levies, fees and bonuses. It skips codes already present for the tenant and reports when the set is already present. It does not populate an animal’s settlement or add an amount automatically. Review the starter labels for your market; this page currently has no region selector even though the service accepts regional preset codes.
To make a type, choose Add type, fill the panel and select Save:
| Control | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Code | Required stable identifier, up to 50 characters. Shown only when creating; it cannot be changed in the edit panel. Use a meaningful unique code. |
| Label | Required display name, up to 120 characters; for example, “Haulage” or “Quality bonus”. |
| Direction | Deduction reduces net proceeds; Bonus increases them. |
| Default amount (optional) | Non-negative amount in the organisation’s currency. It pre-fills a new animal settlement line when this type is selected; it does not post a charge by itself. Leave blank when each statement varies. |
| Sort order | Number used to order the catalogue; blank/non-numeric input is sent as 0 by the current form. |
| Save / Cancel | Save the type or close without saving. Edit opens the same fields except Code. |
Do not use Deactivate to reverse a charge already saved on a carcass. Open that animal’s settlement and correct its lines instead.
Enter an animal’s kill-sheet settlement
Section titled “Enter an animal’s kill-sheet settlement”Find the animal, open its Beef tab and select Kill-sheet settlement on its carcass. If Farmlync says there is no gross value, first check the recorded hot carcass weight, EUROP grade, fat class and price grid effective on the kill date. Save settlement is disabled without gross value. Entering a settlement does not resolve a mismatched animal or missing processor result.
The panel shows Gross value and a live Net proceeds preview. Select Add line for each deduction or bonus. On each line, choose an active type and enter a non-negative Amount. Choosing a type with a default amount fills the amount if the field is blank; replace it with the actual value on the processor statement. Existing lines may still show an inactive type, but inactive types cannot be selected for a new line. Use Remove line to take a line out of the current draft. Leaving no lines makes net equal gross.
Net proceeds = gross value − deductions + bonuses. The preview is only a check while editing; the server recomputes and saves the result. Save settlement replaces the carcass’s previous settlement lines with the lines in the current form, then updates the animal’s Slaughtered exit proceeds for financial reporting. Recheck every line before saving: the current form omits draft lines with no chosen type or invalid amount when it sends the request. Refresh the animal before editing if another manager may have changed the settlement, because a save replaces the full line set without a stale-change warning. Cancel leaves the saved settlement unchanged; if an abandoned draft appears when the panel is reopened, refresh the animal before continuing.
If the amount paid differs from Farmlync’s result, compare the actual kill sheet with the carcass record, effective grid and each settlement line. Do not alter a measured weight merely to make the totals agree.
