The plan checks If any conditions are met, if they are the process will create a feed plan record. Each of these conditions return their own Order Reason, which will be assigned to the feed plan
Conditions:
| Withdrawal | If there is an unprocessed profile lines within the withdrawal range, the process should move to it and complete the current cycle |
| Profile Condition | Occurs when the profile line's condition is met:
|
| Bin Capacity | Occurs when the flock/house has consumed enough feed to fill a bin |
| Maximum Delivery Size | Occurs if the total of all orders requested for delivery at the same time exceed the maximum delivery size |
| Additive Goal | Occurs if the list of additives change between interval |
| Additive Withdrawal | When an additive's withdrawal days are within range, the process must complete the current request and start a new one without the additive |
The process attempts to optimize delivery times as much as it can. That means that multiple deliveries to different feed bins can be scheduled on the same day. If the house allows mixed feed types, multiple deliveries can be scheduled on the same bin.

- It's not necessary to regenerate the feed plan before opening the daily consumption
- The user can move the form to any location not necessarily within the bounds of the Aeros Live main form.
- Users can navigate back and forth between the daily consumption form and the feed plan
- Only one instance of the form can be open at any given time
- If a user selects a different flock while the daily consumption form is open, it will regenerate the schedule for the specified flock
- If the user closes the feed plan form, the Consumption form will automatically close
- The Refresh button will re-execute the feed plan generate process and recalculate the consumption schedule
- The results have sets of fields for metric tons and for kilograms, but the latter are not visible by default. Users can select them through the column chooser.
- Each row represents a day, but it has a a child grid with hourly consumption for the day

Feed Plan (Audit Detail)
The optional audit detail table lists processing information useful for proofing and validating feed plan results. This tab and its contents are optionally accessible through security configuration. You can access by selecting the tools button on the feed plan. You have to regenerate the plan in order to view this form.

The feed plan fixed date feature will force the regeneration process to lock down specific delivery dates and prioritize creating records with those dates. See Feed Plan Fixed Dates for more information.
Feed Profile Feed Type Override (Layer Flocks)
The feed plan requires a feed profile to determine what flocks will be fed at what point in their program. These profiles work well for meat birds, who are placed for a brief time and are fed the same until they hit their market age.
Layer flocks are a bit different, their feed plans can be very reactionary. Nutritionists and flock managers may change the formula at any point in the flock's life as a response to many factors on the flock, such as egg size, shell quality, hen day production, etc. They will keep it or change it in response to many other factors. For this reason, they have asked that we provide them with the means to control what is scheduled to be fed on a flock-by-flock basis.
See Feed Profile Feed Type Override for more information.
