It is recommended to contact seed representatives to handle package size and treatment changes to eliminate the risk of losing seed. Agvance does include options to address package size and treatment changes when needed.
If requesting these changes in separate steps and the new Product is not available on the Vendor’s side, the request to decrease the seed supply would be successful and the request for the additional supply would not secure seed since none is available, resulting in lost seed.
To make changes to existing Grower Orders, use the following steps:
- Navigate to Hub / Transfers / Import / Agvance Data Link to create a new Product with the correct package size if it has not already been added. The GTIN will be needed for this step.
Note: Do not delete the Product with the incorrect package sizing. - Go to Accounting / Inventory / Manage Seed Orders / Grower Orders and locate the Grower Order containing the seed. Select Edit.
- Select Product Desc and locate the new Product with the correct packaging or treatment. Add the Product to the shopping cart.
Note: Do not enter a Quantity in the shopping cart. - Select Check Availability. If there is an Amount Available, select Done.
Note: If the new Product does not have an amount available, seed will not be secured in the ordering process in Step 6. - In the Edit a Grower Order window:
- On the original Product line, in the Requested Qty column, reduce the quantity of the seed.
- On the new Product added to the Grower Order, add that quantity in the Requested Qty column.
- Select Order to send the changes to both Products in the same request.
Note: This process only works when sending the changes in the same request. This process will not work using the Request button on individual line items when issuing package changes out of Agvance.
