Crop production details are typically created each year. Crop production center detail represents a combination of production year, profit center (crop), production center (field). On many farms, the cropping patterns regularly rotate between two or three crops (the field that raised corn last year will likely raise soybeans this year), and the production center, lease, size all remain the same, but the profit center and production year would need to change.

The New Crop Production Center Detail Wizard allows you to use existing crop production center details to easily change the profit center and production year. The wizard can also be used to create new crop production center details if you have existing Production Centers but not Production Center Details.

To create a crop production center detail using the New Crop Production Center Detail Wizard

  1. Select Setup > Profit/Production Centers > Crop Production Center Details.
  2. Click New Year.

  1. Select Copy Existing Production Center Detail Records to copy the existing records and have the ability to change only the items that need to be changed, for example profit center or production year. Otherwise if you do not currently have production center detail records setup, select Start with All Production Centers to create new production center details based on all existing crop production centers and their sizes. Click Next.
  2. If you selected Copy Existing Production Center Detail Records in step 3, select the production center details you wish to copy by using the displayed filters. Otherwise skip to step 5.

  1. In the Production Center Detail Name Options screen, choose which format that should be used to create names and abbreviations for your new production center details. There are eight formats to choose from for both Names (left side of screen) and Abbreviations (right side). To view a format, select it from the list. After making your selections for both the Production Center Details Name and Production Center Details Abbreviation, click Next.
