Create Plan

First step is creating Expert models. After we did that we can start creating Plans.
Plan menu item is within Crops&Vegs menu
1. Step - Creating the Plan
First, we have to create a Plan within first table we see on the top of Plan User Interface (UI).
We define Plan we several important data:
- Name of the plan
- Description (for easier managing of the plans)
- State (it is Open by default. Also, states can be: In Progress and Closed)
- Planned Start (when we plan to start with planned productions)
- Planned End (when we plan to end with planned productions)
- PO (Plan order ID)
Added data for the plan are confirmed by arrow down, usual Farming procedure for confirming the data within table.
When confirmed Plan order ID is created (PO).
By Plan we have two options. We can create all in Main plan or we can choose to do more specifics plan in Sub-plan. The differences is that, if we do everything in main plan, we can not later create sub-plan. If we choose to do plan in sub-plan we can not add Fields or Crop on main plan.
2. Step - Adding Products and Fields
OK, so we have created a Plan. Within plan we obviously want to set different Productions on different Fields engaging different Recources (Machines, Workers, Material).
So, the idea is: first we select Crop (set on secondary classification for the Item/Product), then we choose EM and put it to particular CA on the Field.
For adding a Product/Item (which we attend to produce within production) in Plan first we have to set some settings for Product/Item appropriately - Product.
Product for which we want to set the Plan in Crops must have primary classification set on CROP. If we want to see a list of Expert Models (EM) within Plan, secondary classification must be set accordingly. Meaning, if we have a product CORN (and we can have more different Items of Corn, usually different hybrids of corn), on Item CORN we have to set secondary classification - CORN and accordingly in sub table for selected secondary classification, EM`s will be listed which have secondary classification set on CORN.
Concretely, if we add in tab Crop "CORN" after confirming we shall have a list of EM`s which were created previously for Products/Items which had secondary classification set on "CORN".
One Expert model is for ONE Item/Product
Within One EM for a Product there can be many EM versions!
We add first Crop (secondary classification) within new record, or press Insert key on keyboard for adding another Crop record.
Automatically, EM`s for the crop are listed.
On example below CORN is secondary classification added by user, and expert models CORN and CORN_EV on second level is automatically added by Farming.
You can find here explanation for the capture screen of upper part of UI.
After we added EM`s to the plan, we are adding fields on which we plan certain plant production. We are adding Fields and only fields which has on Fields settings Land Use set as Field.
Land Use Types are set on Settings - Administration Panel - Settings - Farming - Agronomy - Parcel Use in column Type.
After adding Fields to Fields tab it looks like this:
At the same time when we are adding Fields, on Gantt on the left side of the UI they are added, together with Crop areas (CA`s) within these Fields.
CA`s which were created previously within Fields settings on Agriculture Holding - Fields, on Crop Area tab (CA).
CA length on Gantt is defined by Valid From and Valid To defined in Agriculture Holding - Fields, tab CA. All CA`s from the Field is visible on Gantt after Field is selected on Plan (see Field _60).
3. Step - Adding EM on CA
So, after we added Fields and crops on the right side of UI, now we can approach to the process of creating productions for the plan. We do it simply by drag&droping EM`s from the crops on the right side of UI to the CA`s within Fields on the Gantt on the left side of the UI.
Picture 10.
After EM is drag&dropped on particular CA from Product tab on the right side of UI, to Gantt on the left side of UI, new window opens.
 |
Expert model have to be dropped exactly on CA on Gantt. If we drop it outside CA new window will not open.
|
What is the meaning of particular fields on this mask you can find here.
When setting the start and the end of particular production (EM) on particular CA, we have 2 options:
a) copying the start and end date from EM (From Expert model)
b) setting start and end date by ourself manually (Selected date)
Add a)
If decide to take preset dates from EM, first we have to choose version of EM and after that we have to select radio button for Date selection option. (From Expert model). After that we choose CA and click Save.
|
If we connect EM with CA, chosen CA should be selected by default. However, it is possible that CA is hidden in case that CA is occupied in newly selected time frame.
|
When tick 
is clicked, EM is add on CA in chosen time frame and is visible in Gantt.
Add b)
If user would like to set start date by himself we can do this in the following way:
- first, EM version should be selected
- second, entering start date. End date is automatically calculated regarding selected EM version duration.
Picture 14.
As before, after tick is pressed in Gantt EM is added in time frame for selected CA.
4. Step - Editing Plan order
After we added EM on CA, we can easily on tab Plan order plan data modify. Adding procedure is exact as on EMby drag&drop, with the exception on Plan.
|
Implements and Material we can add only on 2. level of Self-propeled and Workers, while workers we can easily add also on 1. level of Workers tab.
|
Plan order tab iz devided in two segments. In first table we have: EM data, area, CA name, planned expected crop yield and start and end of certain production.
You can easily find the meaning of certain fields here.
In second and third table are data from EM and these data we can modify.
|
All changed data in Plan are after Work order is created from Plan, also changed in Plan order.
|
5. Step - creating Work order
After Plan order is edited we can easily create Work order. On the upper right part of UI find 
icon and click it.
Following button will show 
, click it.
Following window opens where we can see all Plan orders.
If we want to see only Plan orders which were not released we can check 
and confirm by pressing following button 
In this case only these Plan orders will show from which no Work orders were created. We select a Plan order from which we want to create a work order.
Clicking on the button 
a note asks the user if he is really want to create Work order.
Clicking on button 
a note opens with more information about newly created Work order.
Work order ID is also added into appropriate field within tab Plan order
Double click on Work order ...
.... and Work order UI for selected WO ID opens.
TIPS FOR BETTER USE OF FARMING!
On Gantt and Map tab we have additional option very valuable if you have large amount of data, namely large amount of plans, Fields, Work orders, ... Clicking on icon 
within tab, another separate floating UI opens with the content of the tab (Gantt, Maps). If user have bigger screens with bigger resolution much more content will be visible in this floating window enabling more transparency and easier understanding of the content.
Example:
After clicking on the icon ...
... new floating window of the Maps tab opens, which can be then moved within screen, and also outside Farming to another screen.
