The Inventory tab can be used to track feed ingredients, as well as animal health, processing and miscellaneous items used on a daily basis. Maximize your Performance Beef account by tracking inventory beyond feed ingredients. Learn how below.

2. Click the Feed drop-down box on the upper left corner of the screen and select Other.
3. Click the green Add button on the right side of the screen.
4. Click on the Select Category drop-down box and select the correct category:
   1. Vet, Medication, Implant, Delivery, Processing, Bedding, Hedges, Interest, Insurance, Profit Share, Sales Tax/GST or other.

5.   Enter in the following information:

This feature is the first step towards applying animal health costs to a pen, group or individual animal. Producers can use the Inventory tab in conjunction with the Add Cost button within the Overview tab or the Processing App to apply costs. Gaining the insight to see all medications, implants, vaccinations etc. administered can put you ahead of the curve.  

To manage other inventory items:

1. Click the Inventory tab on the left side of the screen within your Performance Beef account.
2. Select Other from the dropdown menu on the upper left corner, then click the red Manage button on the upper right corner. 
   1. To archive an inventory item, click the - on the far right of the item. The item will drop to the Archived section. 
   2. To unarchive an inventory item, click the + on the far right of the item. The item will move to the Active section. 
   3. Click and drag the three dots on the left of active items to reorder them. The order they appear here is the order they appear when building rations or animal health protocols.
3. Click the green Save button on the upper left corner of the screen.
   

Managing your other inventory allows you to easily organize active items as well as archiving other items not in use for a later date. When items are archived, they are hidden from your Inventory tab, however any data associated with them still exists and the item can be unarchived at any time. You may only archive items not currently in use and items must be active to use them as an added cost.
