Pullet Barn Out Time Pay

Business Rules

1. Out time is only computed for ACTIVE Pullet Barns.
2. Out time computes from the Pullet Barn Activated date, the Contract start date, or one year ago, whichever is newer.
3. If the contract status changes, out time calculations are reset to 0 and start over.
4. If a barn is a Brood barn (first stage of a two-stage barn), the second stage (Grow-Out) will be ignored, and the out time pay for the Brood barn will simply be doubled. This is because a two-stage setup can produce exactly twice the number of birds in one year as a single-stage can. An empty day in a Brood stage will cause an empty day in a Grow-Out stage, so it is simplest (and best) to simply double the pay on a Brood barn.

If you want to audit the calculations, use the button on the right called "Export Barn Data Proof for the Selected Barn". This will allow you to walk through the data for the selected barn to verify that calculations are working as expected.

Pullet Barn Contract Dates

You will want to think carefully about how you handle Pullet Barn Contract dates! If a Pullet Barn goes off contract, and later goes back on contract, you need to determine if you want to update the contract dates by EXTENDING the end date, or by setting a new start date as well. If you simply extend the contract end date, be aware that this is instructing the calculator to continue to use the last 12 months of flock activity in the calculations.
