Processing Start Overview
The Processing Start transaction records the beginning of the processing of an agricultural product.
This transaction indicates the start of any processing necessary for agricultural products in relation to quality control. This would include, for instance, processing to reduce moisture or remove hulls. The Processing Start transaction allows the Buying Station Manager or Warehouse Manager to record the start of the processing function in the Rural Sourcing Management mobile application. They can record the date, location, and product type to be processed, along with other details such as the number of sacks, weight, and the product quality.
- An agricultural product is delivered to a buying station and is to be processed at the buying station, at the warehouse, or at a later stage
- The processing changes the characteristics of the original delivered product, such as the weight, quality, or bagging
- The time and the characteristic changes are recorded to ensure the integrity of the overview of the whole value-chain
Configuration is set up by the system administrator through the Web interface in conjunction with SAP personnel, as described in the Administration Guide.
