Average Calculation Information
Payment Configurations.
If the settlement uses averages (primes) for payment calculations, use this form to enter the information necessary to determine which flocks previously and/or currently settled will be used for average calculations.
Number Used for Average. Used to select the flocks to be included in the averages.
Average Basis. Used to select the flocks to be included in the averages.
Example: If number used for averages=3 and average basis=weeks; will select all flocks settled in the last 3 weeks with the same settlement configuration for average calculations. If number used for averages=12 and average basis=flocks; will select the last 12 flocks settled with the same settlement configuration.
Sex. Determines if a flock should or should not be included in the averages.
Denominator to use. Determine what unit value to use when calculating the average expense cost/unit. The valid options will be "head moved", "gross weight moved" or "net weight". When calculating the group expense cost/unit to compare to the average expense cost/unit the group value for the unit will be used.
Include Groups being settled in average. Determines whether the current flocks being settled should be included in the average calculations.
Exclude Payment Type Grid. If a payment type is selected to be excluded from average calculations then when a flock has received any of these payment types they are excluded from the flocks for averaging.
Example: Minimum Pay is to be excluded. If a flock was paid minimum pay then this flock will be removed from the average calculation.
Set Standard Expenses. This form is used to determine if an expense code has a standard $amount/unit when calculating settlements or if the actual $amount entered for an expense code should be used.
The expense codes used in settlements should be entered. These would be expense codes for payment, average or company cost determination.
If a standard $amount and units are entered then this will be used to calculate the cost for that expense code when processing settlements. If no standard $amount and units are entered then the actual cost will be used.
At least one of the costs must be selected; payment, company and/or average. The payment cost is used to determine if the expense code should be posted when a settlement commitment is done; this will take the “standard” $amount times the units and post the $amount to the groups expense. The company cost will be included in the calculation of “actual” company cost; this will be used for reporting purposes. The average cost will be included in calculations of averages.
Set adjustment Rules. This form is used to process any adjustments that need to be applied to a flock. These codes will be AeLive supplied because specific calculations need to be used.
Define Starting Weight for Sales. These fields are found on the Sales/Live Haul tab of the Live Inventory Transactions Form
