Before you can begin moving commodities, you need to set up locations. There are three types of locations:
On Farm Locations: The locations where commodities are stored on farm.
Off Farm Locations: The destinations where commodities are sent for the purpose of fulfilling sales or warehouse storage off-farm.
Fields: The fields from your Agworld account.
Fields are automatically set up when your account is connected to Agworld. See our dedicated guide on Cart’s integration with Agworld here.
To manage on and off farm locations, click on the Setup link in the main navigation.
Set up on-farm locations
First, click on On-Farm Locations link on the Setup page. From here, you can set up new and manage existing locations.
To create a new location:
Click on the New Location button.
Enter a name and location.
Click the Save button.
Once the location has been created, you will be taken to the Location page where you can set up individual storages at this location.
To add a storage:
Click on the Add Storage button.
Enter a name and storage type.
Click the Next button.
Once a storage have been added, you can assign the active commodity being tracked in the storage. You can click on the Skip button if you want to set this later.
To assign a commodity:
Select a commodity from list.
Click the Next button.
Complete the Set Commodity form.
Click the Save button.
Continue adding locations and storages until your farm storage set up is complete.
Set up off-farm locations
First, click on the Off-Farm Locations link on the Setup page. From here, you can set up new and manage existing locations.
To create a new location:
Click on the New Location button.
Enter a name and opening date.
Click the Save button.
Once a location has been created, you will be taken to the location page. From here, you have the option to enter opening inventory. This is helpful if any commodities are in storage at the time of setting up this location.
Troubleshooting locations on deliveries:
When creating a delivery and selecting a source or destination, if you can’t see an on-farm storage or off-farm location, it is important to take note of the following:
Assigned commodity: On farm storages will only display as a source or destination if a commodity has been assigned to the storage and the commodity matches the delivery.
Opening dates:
On-farm storages will not display as a source or destination if the delivery is prior to the opening date of the commodity assigned to the storage.
Of-farm location will not display as a source or destination if the delivery is prior to the opening date of the off-farm location.
Variety restrictions: If a variety has been assigned to an on-farm storage, when delivering to this storage, only fields or on-farm storages with a variety match will be displayed.
