Agricultural product batch and quantity accounting system
The warehouse team tracks batches of production, capacity, and changes in quantities during storage. Suitable stocks for sale, their origins, and the recipients of removals are seen.
The origin, delivery, weighing, sample, quality, silo or capacity, mixing, cleaning, drying, sales lot and transport of the farm are not connected in a single traceability chain. It is difficult to trace a quality or safety problem, justify the origin and accurately calculate physical losses.
How the solution works
- Accepting the identified batch
- Assign proper capacity and state
- Register movement and preparation
- Agree quantity and suitability for sale
- Release batch with recipient connection
Key challenges
- Production batches and mass balance are not traceable enough
- Warehouse, conditioning and sales states not merged
Solution capabilities
Physical and commercial status
Available, reserved and quality-suspended production is allocated. The stock balance is not yet a free sales quantity of the right class.
History of the Movement
Mixing and dividing keeps true inputs and outputs. The assigned proportion of origin is noted as the result of the method used, not the identification of each grain.
Change in quantity
Drying, cleaning or other preparation has a suitable pre- and post-base. Dehumidification and measurement error are separated from unexplained deficiency.
Release check
The quality status, origin limits and reservation are checked before transfer. The average indicator is not a universal compliance with the safety or certification requirement.
Business context
- Production batches and mass balance are not traceable enough
- The origin, delivery, weighing, sample, quality, silo or capacity, mixing, cleaning, drying, sales lot and transport of the farm are not connected in a single traceability chain. It is difficult to trace a quality or safety problem, justify the origin and accurately calculate physical losses.
- Warehouse, conditioning and sales states not merged
- Actual balances, quality classes, humidity, drying, cleaning, fumigation, storage costs, reservations and sales contracts are managed in separate systems. Sales of inappropriate quantity or class, increasing quality, energy and storage losses.
- Buyer's order is associated with proper physical supplies
- The total quantity of the warehouse does not indicate which produce is suitable for a particular sale. The condition, origin and changes in quantity of the lots allow for verification of the release. The seller can more accurately confirm the supply, and the recipient is provided with the information appropriate to his shipment.

Potential impact (%)
The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.
Unresolved difference in physical balance
12–42%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 30-60% of errors can be addressed through the data and rule checks described. That share is assumed to fall by 40-70%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Measure the unexplained mass in kilograms for a specific period, indicating measurement error.
The job of tracing to the recipient
6–25%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of waiting caused by missing information or unclear responsibility can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 30-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Measure minutes for the selected initial batch to identify the recipients involved.
Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.
When this solution is relevant
- The production of several suppliers is accepted, mixed and moved, the quantities of which must be tracked by lot.
- The accounting balances do not match the physical ones, and after mixing it is difficult to recreate the origin of the batch.
Project scope and implementation
Quantity accounting is for receiving, mixing and moving production lots. Live animals are recorded based on their identity and movement data, so they are not subject to the bulk product mixing model. The project is combined with the stock accounting used.
Further expansion
- Other warehouses after inspection of the product's mass, quality and mixing conditions.
