Farm, field service, laundry and fuel

Four industries add a screen or two each. All are real and working — an earlier version of this guide said they added nothing, which is no longer true.

They have something in common worth saying up front: each is a register, not a workflow. Nothing here touches stock, money or your books. The deeper parts of each trade exist in the system but have no screens yet, so anything derived is typed in by hand.

Agriculture

Where

Verticals → Field & Agriculture

Plan

Growth and above

Feature

Verticals → Agriculture

Farm Fields (the page is headed Fields) records each field:

1. Click New record and choose the Company and Location.
2. Enter the Name. Required.
3. Enter the Area and the Area unit — free text, so pick ha or acre and be consistent. Left blank it defaults to hectares.
4. Set the Status — Fallow, Planted, Growing, Harvested or Retired.
5. Add a Location description.

Livestock Batches records a group of animals: a Name and Species (both required, species is free text), a Head count, an Average weight (kg), a Health status — Healthy, Under treatment, Quarantine, Sold or Deceased — and an Acquired on date.

Neither touches stock or costing

A field and a livestock batch are descriptive records. No product, no stock movement, no cost, no valuation.

Crop cycles and harvests have their own screens — Field & Agriculture → Crop Cycles, then Harvests from a cycle’s row — but feed schedules still do not. Recording a harvest does not move the parent field’s Status, and closing a cycle does not either, so somebody still sets that by hand. A recorded harvest also carries a bare quantity with no product, so a harvest can never become stock. A harvest cannot be edited either: correct a wrong one by deleting it and recording it again.

To hold harvested produce as real stock, treat it as manufacturing — inputs becoming outputs — and keep the field as a location if you need stock held separately.

Field service

Where

Verticals → Field & Agriculture → Technician Territories

Plan

Growth and above

Feature

Verticals → Field Service

One screen. Technician Territories records a Territory name (required), the Technician, the Regions it covers as free text, and whether it is Primary.

Nothing is routed by territory

No job, ticket or visit is ever assigned using these. Territories are referenced by nothing else in the system — it is a reference list of who covers where.

The list does not even show which technician a territory belongs to. Open the record to see it.

Laundry

Where

Verticals → Field & Agriculture → Laundry Orders

Plan

Growth and above

Feature

Verticals → Laundry

Laundry Orders records a job you take in and hand back.

1. Click New record and choose the Company and Location.
2. Pick the Customer, or leave it as None.
3. Enter your own Order number.
4. Set the Status — it starts at Open.
5. Enter the Total amount.
6. Check the Received at time and set a Promised at time.
7. Save.

Move it along with Change status: Open, In process, Ready, Collected or Cancelled. Marking it Collected stamps the time.

The total is never collected

A laundry order does not create a sale, take payment or reserve anything. The Total amount is a number you type that nothing reads.

Ring the job up as a sale when the customer collects, or the money is never recorded.

Individual garments cannot be tracked

The order is a single header. Garment-level tracking — received, washing, drying, pressing, ready, collected, lost, damaged — exists in the system but has no screen.

Write what was dropped off in the Notes.

Any status can jump to any other, so a Collected order can be set back to Open.

Fuel

Where

Verticals → Field & Agriculture → Fuel Tanks

Plan

Growth and above

Feature

Verticals → Fuel

Fuel Tanks records each tank: a Tank name (required), a Fuel grade — Petrol (regular), Petrol (premium), Diesel, Kerosene, LPG, CNG or Ethanol — a Capacity (L) and a Current level (L).

The current level is whatever somebody last typed

It is a plain number on the form. No dip reading, delivery or sale changes it, and nothing posts a stock adjustment from it.

Pumps, nozzles and dip readings exist in the system but have no screens at all.

For fuel you actually sell, treat it as a product by volume — see units and packs — and use a stock count to record what a dip says is really there.

Things common to all four

Export produces no file on any of these screens.

Company and Location look editable when you edit a record and are not — the dropdowns open, let you choose, and keep the original.

Only company and location are checked before saving. Everything else is validated by the server after you press Save.

Two screens are gated on unrelated permissions. Technician Territories checks a salon permission and Laundry Orders checks a hospitality one. Whoever sets up your roles needs to know this, or the buttons vanish for the right people.

Menu labels differ from page titles: “Farm Fields” opens “Fields”.
