4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your crop lot traceability register

• Keep the lot in context

  Keep lot, field reference, harvest date, storage location, movement and source record together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A lot is moved to a new store without a destination record. Keep the movement incomplete until the source and receiving references agree.

• Keep source record visible

  Keep a missing movement reference visible before treating the lot history as complete.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the farm coordinator a working view and the farm manager a review view. Keep lot and field reference attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
