Egg Size Types

First step is to configure the egg size names you will be using.

System > System Settings > System Types > Egg Size Types.

In here you will see the list of available egg size type codes and descriptions. The code and description of any of the existing ones can be changed to suit your needs. Important: Only the existing code that have ‘Is system’ checkbox are available in the AeLive reports. That means if you use the ‘add’ button to create a new code, it will not appear in any of your reports. So, if you need a size category that is not in the list REUSE one of the other codes so you can get report results for it.

Egg Size Matrix Configuration

Once you have your system type list of egg sizes, you will then use them to create an Egg Size Matrix Configuration.

System > Egg Size Matrix Config.

Use the ‘Add New’ button to create a new matrix. Give it a code, description and set it to ‘Active’. The left column will show you all the Egg Size Categories. Select a size category and hit the right arrow button to add it to the right side listing to add it to this configuration. In the right side you can also set the order of the list by clicking and draging a code up and down the list. The order in this configuration controls the order that will appear in the rest of the system.

You can make as many configurations as you need or just use one. One table does not have to use all the categories. One table might have Jumbo to Undergrade while other has Super Jumbo to Pee Wee, you decide.

Case Weight Standards (optional)

You can add case weight standards in the system. All the ages that exist in the egg size matrix will get the same case weight for the corresponding age from the case weight table you set up here.

Select ‘Add New’ Enter Code and Description for the table. Select the Ages UOM you want to enter the standards for. By Day or By Week.

Go to Table Tab. Here is where you will enter your Case weight standards by day or by week. The age will fill in automatically in order as you enter values.

Egg Matrix Standard Table

System > System Table > Egg Matrix Table

Once in there you will ‘Add New’ to create a new table. You will have an option to select a Configuration. This configuration is the list and order of egg sizes that you have configured in the egg size matrix.

The configuration will set the column headers with the egg sizes from the configuration.

Then go to the Table tab

Determine the percent value for each size by age. The values for each row must total to 100.00%

Load Case Weight to standard

If you already have a system table for case weights that you want to use for the Egg Size Matrix, you can apply it using the Load Case Weights. Just fill in all your egg size percentages first and save the table. Then hit the Load Case Weights button at the top of the table. You will be asked to select a case weight system table and when you hit accept, all the ages that exist in the egg size matrix will get the same case weight for the corresponding age from the selected case weight table.

Load the case weight standard table you want to use.

It then fills in from your standard table into Average Lbs.

Apply tables to Flocks/Contracts

You must apply the created standard tables to the flock and/or add to the contracts. You can use your standard system tables or create system tables specific to projections. If you do not have projection tables assigned to a flock it will use your standard system tables assigned to your flock.
