Calculating flock consumption, and precisely when they will run out of feed is an exact science. When the feed planning algorithm generates feed plan records based on this consumption, the values can return with with decimal places to many levels of precision. Scheduling deliveries whose units are evenly divisible by one (no decimal places) makes for legible and easy tor recall feed plans. The software needs a configuration that allows it to generate results that do not include decimal results.

Next: Create a new delivery for the next feed type and formula (delivering the goal and moving to the next ration).
Rounding Overrides and Messages
When the rounding configurations are set to "Round Up", there are some feed delivery reasons that will override a round-up result, and instead round it down. When that happens, a message will be displayed after the plan is generated.
The reasons that would cause a round-up override pertain to any situation where adding more feed would violate another configuration, these reasons include:
- Adding more feed would exceed a house bin capacity.
- Adding more feed violates a withdrawal configuration.
- Adding more feed violates an additive withdrawal configuration.
- Adding more feed would exceed a maximum delivery size.
- Adding more fed would exceed the maximum supply days.
It is possible to configure the "Round to Nearest" increment to a value that is less than your minimum delivery amount. If this scenario is discovered during validation, you will receive a warning message.
In the event that the rounding process rounds a value down to nothing, we do not remove that planned delivery! We include it in the list, and report back a warning message.
Assign Houses Tab
The Assign Houses tab allows the user to assign the configuration to multiple houses.
