Activities are tasks that are carried out on fields. They allow you to record a task taking place, and also to associate a cost with that task.

Examples of activities would include ploughing, spraying, and rolling.

Activities may be added from the Setup module, or added as jobs are created.

Activities can be given a unit price per hectare, and Advanced customers can give the same activity a different price for different businesses.

Activities are selected as you create a job, and you will also select one or more pieces of equipment for the job. As activities are the part of the job record that hold onto the pricing, you may wish to have more than one activity that you would use with the same equipment – for example, you may have a plough listed in equipment, but have two activities named ‘Ploughing – light land’ and ‘Ploughing – heavy land’, both with different costs.

Equipment

Any pieces of machinery used to carry out a job are entered as equipment. Equipment is also selected as you create or record a job.

Setup > Activities is where tasks that are carried out on a field are managed. They allow you to record a task taking place and also to associate a cost with that task. Examples of activities would include ploughing, spraying, and rolling. An activity must be associated with an activity type and may be given a unit price per ha.

An activity is selected when creating a job and allows you to see how much the activity will cost, based upon the fields selected and their target area (ha). Some activity types require a product to be selected in the same job, whereas others do not. For example, an activity type of spraying must have at least one product selected in a job, whereas an activity type of tillage does not require a product to be selected in a job. You will also be able to select the equipment needed to carry out the job.
