Notes:-
If you choose Weigh whole plants before any processing, you will start with a Total Available Weight. Any waste or losses you log will be deducted from this initial weight.
-
If you choose Weigh processed plant parts before drying, you will not have an available weight at the start, it will be zero. Waste or losses logged at this stage will not be deducted, because there’s no available weight yet. But they will still appear in the Weight and Waste logs for traceability.
Once your first drying task is completed, a Total Available Weight will be generated based on the dried material. From this point onward, any waste or losses logged will be deducted accordingly.
