Before transactions can be allocated to a particular enterprise, the enterprise must firstly be created. This is true for budgeting purposes as well as for day-to-day data entry.
This year's harvest is referred to as Farming Year 2006 and therefore, for example, this year's winter wheat sales will be allocated to 'Winter Wheat 06'.
If you need to allocate some costs and purchases, such as seed and sprays for next year's harvest, 'Wheat 07' must be created; likewise, if you have opened a new Accounting Period, you will need to set up your enterprises for the new year.
- Go to 'Setup' from the top tool bar, 'Enterprises', 'Set up Enterprises'.
- Change the Farming Year (at the top) to '2007'.
- On the left hand side, double click on 'Crops and Land', and then double click on 'Cereals'.
- On the right hand side you can now put a tick in the 'Create' box and then press 'Save'.
- The same can then be done for all the other enterprises that you wish to use.
From here it is also possible to 'finish' enterprises from previous Farming Years.
To do this, select the appropriate Farming Year from the drop down box at the top, then tick the 'Finished' box (instead of 'Create') and press 'Save'.
By ticking an enterprise as 'Finished', it will still appear on appropriate reports but means that it will no longer be available for selection in any data entry screens. Where you have several years on the system, it is good practice to finish older enterprises to avoid confusion and accidental mis-allocation.
