When landing catch from a fishing trip directly to inventory and when purchasing ungutted raw material from a vessel, it is optional to set the system to automatically deduct the weight of the gutting from the quantity that is landed to inventory.
-
Indicate the percentage shrinkage to calculate for the ungutted raw material in the Factor Ungutted - Gutted field on the Raw Material tab of the Item Card.
-
Each vessel can carry its own default for gut deduction. On the Vessel Card, the Deduct Guts from Inventory field specifies whether guts should be deducted from inventory at landing for fish landed ungutted from that vessel. This value is copied to the Fishing Trip automatically when you select the Vessel Code on it.
-
On the Fishing Trip card, General tab, check the option Deduct Guts from Inventory.
-
The gutting deduction only applies to catch lines whose Raw Mat. State is set to an ungutted state (or, for the New Zealand quota system, whose Processing Method for Quota is "0").
Select the correct Raw Material State on each raw material line for the deduction to take effect on that line. Lines recorded as already gutted are never reduced, regardless of the trip-level setting. -
When both the trip-level Deduct Guts from Inventory option is checked and the line qualifies as ungutted, the Gutted Qty for Inventory field is automatically calculated as the Total Qty multiplied by the Item's Factor Ungutted to Gutted, at the time the Total Qty is registered on the raw material line.
-
Gutting is excluded only from the inventory quantity, not from Fishing Crew Settlement.
For example, if catch of 1000 kg is recorded for a trip, the crew is still paid on the full 1000 kg. Adding a gutting factor of 16% means that only 84% of the 1000 kg (840 kg) is landed to inventory.
