If you are producing to meet future commitments, you'll love Plant Partnertm's ability to automatically generate production schedules to match commitments.
Run the forecast for committed process and Plant Partnertm scans the orders in the Sales module to determine necessary planting quantities. Add any additional speculative percentage or quantity to each forecast. Plant Partner then processes the production schedule. Once you have run this process Task Master can calculate the necessary materials and labor requirements to meet future forecasts. Just before planting, run the process again to update quantities for any order changes. When you are ready, mark these forecasts as confirmed to prevent changes to these orders and print your planting schedules. Plant Partner keeps track of the specific orders that generated each crop.
