When raised livestock is sold it must be recorded in CenterPoint with either a Receipt (if money was already received) or a Customer Invoice (A/R) (if money has not yet been received for the sale). Prior to making the sale transaction, it's a good idea to verify that the Revenue accounts are setup properly (Step A below).

Step A: Verify the Revenue Account is Setup Properly (One-Time Setup)

Step B: Sell Raised Livestock Inventory


Step A: Verify the Revenue Account is Setup Properly (One-Time Setup)

  1. Select Setup > Accounts > Accounts.
  2. Double click on the appropriate Revenue account (Raised Market Cattle Sales, for example).
  3. On the General tab, verify that the Account Category is assigned to Sales of Raised Livestock.
  4. On the Template tab, select Receipts and New Receivables on the left. On the right, set the Change To field to DT - Sell Raised Inventory.

  1. Click on Save.

Step B: Sell Raised Livestock Inventory

The sale of raised livestock inventory can be recorded using either a Receipt or a Customer Invoice (A/R). In our example, we'll be recording the sale with a Receipt transaction.

EXAMPLE: CenterPoint Ranch sold 5 of their 2010 calves to Louise Arnold at a price of 65.00 each.

 

  1. Select Processes > Sales > Receipts.
  2. Enter the appropriate information in the Company, Bank Account, Received From, Date, Amount and Check/Ref# fields.
  3. In the Account field, select the revenue account from Step A.

  1. Click on the Detail button.

  1. Enter the appropriate quantity sold in the Head field.
  2. In the Inventory field, select the appropriate Raised Livestock inventory account. Verify that the Inventory Offset account is correct. It should be a Change in Raised Livestock Inventory account.
Note: This sale transaction will automatically deduct the sale from the inventory account, thus calculating a net profit/loss. The adjustment is displayed in the Inventory Adjustment $ and Inventory Price fields.
  1. Specify all appropriate Production Center details. Click OK.
  2. Verify the information on the main receipt screen and click Save to complete the transaction.
