Deducting Gutting from Catch Weight

When landing catch from a fishing trip directly to inventory and when purchasing ungutted raw material from a vessel, then it is optional to set the system to automatically deduct the weight percentage of the gutting when purchasing the raw material to inventory.

1. Indicate the percentage shrinkage to calculate for the ungutted raw material in the Factor Ungutted - Gutted field on the WF Raw Material tab of the Item Card.

2. When landing catch directly into inventory, gutting can be automatically factored in for the inventory weight and excluded from Fishing Crew Settlement. For example, if catch of 1000 pounds is recorded for a trip, the Crew will get paid 100% on the 1000 pounds. Adding a gutting factor of 16% means, however, that 84% of the 1000 pounds will be landed in stock as 840 pounds (raw material inventory on hand).

3. On the Fishing Trip card, General tab, check the option Deduct Guts from Inventory.

4. When the Deduct Guts from Inventory option is checked, the Gutted Qty for Inventory field will be automatically filled out by multiplying the Total Qty with the Raw Material Factor Ungutted -> Gutted% that is entered in the Raw Material Card, at the time the Total Qty for a raw material is registered in the fishing trip lines.

5. When the raw material is landed to inventory, the quantity will be adjusted to account for the gutting factor indicated.
