📘 Screen: Lot Production
This is the transformation screen: inputs go in from inventory and a finished product comes out — processed seed, feed, cotton lint. The lot records where the raw material came from, who was responsible, what was consumed and what was produced, with manufacturing and expiration dates.
In practice, it is what lets you pick up a finished bag of seed and say which fields it came from.
📍 Location in the system
Menu: Industry > Lot Production
🧩 Main function
Record an industrial production run on the farm and, with it, move inventory: the input entered goes out of the storage location given and the finished product comes in. It is a transformation, not a transfer.
The list toolbar has New, Reload, View inventory — to check the balance without leaving the screen — and Reports ▼.
📝 Header fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Sequential lot number (0001). It is the number that goes into the QR Code. |
| Status | Not editable: Pending, Approved or Finished. The toolbar button changes it. |
| Production Classification | The type of process. Required. |
| Description | The lot name. Required — when you choose the classification, it comes suggested. |
| Product | The lot's main product. |
| Responsible | Who is accountable for the production. |
| Manufacturing Date · Expiration Date | Shelf life of what was produced — it is what supports the lot's traceability. |

🗂 The three tabs
📍 Fields
Where the raw material came from: Field, Variety/Cultivar and Area, the first two required. The list shows Field and Hectares. This tab links the finished product to the crop it came from.
📋 Inputs
What was consumed: Product, Storage Location, Quantity, Unit price, Balance, Total value and Date. The Import product button brings in items from the farm's inventory, and View inventory shows the balance before you enter them.
📦 Finished product
What came out: Finished product, Storage Location, Quantity, Unit price, Total value, Date, and the manufacturing and expiration dates of the item produced.
This is also where the QR Code button lives, which generates the lot's code and lets you save it as an image to stick on the packaging.
🔄 The lot cycle
The button on the right of the toolbar changes name depending on the stage, and each step asks for confirmation:
- Pending — the lot being put together. Everything is editable.
- Approve → Approved — the production has been checked.
- Finish → Finished — the lot is closed and the screen is locked: header and inputs become read-only.
- Reopen — sends the lot back to Pending, when something needs fixing.
🔗 The lot QR Code
The QR Code generated on the Finished product tab opens a public traceability page — you do not need access to the system to view it. It shows the farm, the map, the products applied to the source crop (with class and rate), the history of the fields and the company's presentation.
It is what gets printed on the packaging so the end customer can check where their purchase came from.
- Raw material consumption and the finished product's entry are in inventory, with cost.
- Every lot produced can be traced back to the field.
- The QR Code delivers that traceability to the customer, with no manual work.
When the finished product is seed, the lot is the tip of work that starts long before — see how upCampo supports seed research and development.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Do I need to enter a movement to write off the inputs?
No. The input entered on the Inputs tab already leaves the storage location given, and the finished product comes in. The lot production is itself the document for the transformation.
I finished the lot and now I can't edit it.
That is the expected behavior: a finished lot is locked. Use the status button to reopen it — it goes back to Pending and editing is unlocked.
What is the lot QR Code for?
To stick on the packaging. Whoever scans it opens a public page with the farm, the map, the source fields and the products applied — the traceability of what they are buying, with no login needed.
How do I know if I have enough balance before entering the input?
With the View inventory button, which is on the list toolbar and next to the inputs. The line's Balance field also shows how much of that product there is in the chosen location.
