Stock Arrival
The Stock Arrival module handles incoming fruit and vegetables into the packhouse/packshed. Fruit/vegetables can come from either your own farm, other growers, or directly from suppliers or fruit and vegetable wholesalers.

The Stock Arrival module allows your pack-house to record containers of produce when it arrives at a storage site or processing facility such as the pack-house. The produce can be tracked accurately throughout the storage and processing phase of production allowing efficient unprocessed goods management. This module is an essential part of the ProducePak Pack-House suite. Note that goods packed in the field do not require Stock Arrival records and can be entered as pallets using the Field Pack functionality. Goods arriving at the packing facility can be from other growers, and/or from your own farms.
Record Incoming Produce
Using the Stock Arrival module you can record simple details of incoming produce, or you can record detailed information depending on your requirements. Each time stock is brought from the crop/grower to the storage/pack-house, a Stock Arrival record is created. Essential details such as:
• arrival temperature
• origin grower/crop
• qty of buckets/bins
• binned buckets
• total weight
• pick date, received date & time
and other details are recorded. Note that many of these details are optional.
Stock Treatment
Using Stock Arrival, you can record Treatments performed on stock, such as Dipping, or Gassing. Details include Treatment Type, Date, Time, Comments.
Stock Label
Stock Labels can be printed to apply to individual containers; or applied to a group of containers. Each Stock Arrival is given a unique Stock Number which can be used to identify the stock. The stock label identifies the owner of the containers, Stock Number total number of containers, the origin grower/crop, time of arrival, last know storage location, all previous know storage locations and date and time transferred, pick date, arrival date, treatments applied and more…
Stock Receipt
This module can produce Stock Arrival receipts which can be given to truck drivers or growers when the produce is delivered.
Bin Numbers
Bin numbers can be recorded at the point of Stock Arrival. Bin numbers can later be used to identify bins and their origins. (Bin numbers can be used to perform QA checks on individual bins during QA checks, see the Quality Assurance module for details)
Stock Report
For your convenience, a Stock Report is available directly from the Stock Arrival screen which shows you a quick summary of stock that has arrived recently. You can filter the stock viewed by date range, produce type, and grower/crop origin.
Stock Handling History
Each time stock is moved, ProducePak records it’s movement, the date & time, who moved the stock, and where it was moved from & to, comments and temperature, allowing complete traceability of unpacked produce.
Picker Details
When bin numbers are recorded, Picker Details can optionally be entered, this data allows QA to be performed on the Bins and the individual pickers can be followed up for quality and performance reasons. Entry of picker details at stock arrival also allows you to automatically produce picker pay advice based on the quantity of bins picked by each picker (see Timesheets).
Split Stock
Because many bins/buckets/containers of produce can be recorded rapidly in one record when arriving at the pack-house – ProducePak allows you to split stock records in to an infinite number of stock records so the stock can be stored at different locations.
Stock Transfer
When stock needs to be transferred off-site for storage pending processing, ProducePak can print Stock Transfer Advice receipts which can be given to the transport provider. ProducePak records who collected the produce, , time of collection, transport company, packing shed staff who authorised the transaction, pickup conditions such as temperature and other comments. Stock transferred ‘off-site’ can be transferred back on site when returned by the transport provider.
Mobile Stock Control
The Mobile Stock Control module allows staff to perform these functions using a PDA (very small mobile computer) anywhere in the packing shed or outside in dispatch areas. See Mobile Stock Control for more information
