About 10 minutes
Desktop: Open Harvest, then choose Meat Operations.
Mobile: Open Harvest, use the section selector, then choose Meat Operations.
- Harvest batches and freezer restocks linked with source batch IDs.
- Sales linked directly to the batch or to a freezer usage log carrying the selected batch.
Overview
- Meat Operations is an internal traceability workspace built from existing harvest batches, freezer movements, sales links, contacts, reservations, and tasks.
- Processor and inspection fields are breeder-entered context. Rabbitry Run does not decide whether processing, labeling, or sales comply with a jurisdiction.
When To Use
- You need to understand where a batch went, identify affected buyers, place a lot on hold, or document a release, disposal, rework, return, or other disposition.
Step-By-Step Guide
Step 1
Follow this action exactly in the Use Meat Operations For Lot Traceability And Recalls workflow.
Open Meat Operations and filter active, held, or closed lots. Open a lot to review source rabbits and snapshots, processing records, yields, restocks, sales, named buyers, reservations, and recall history.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
Step 2
For freezer sales, select one attributable source batch. If a transaction spans lots, enter separate sale lines rather than silently assigning one lot to the whole transaction.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
Step 3
Place a lot on hold only with a reason. The transition adds recall history and creates one open follow-up task per affected buyer and batch.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
Step 4
Use Prepare buyer outreach to move affected contact IDs privately into Buyer Outreach. Consent and channel rules are applied again, and no message is sent automatically.
- The page should remain in the same workflow and be ready for the next step.
- You should be ready to continue to the next step.
Step 5
Close a held lot with a disposition and resolution note. Reopen with a new note when more work is required; prior closure history remains intact.
- You can explain the lot path and follow-up state without changing freezer quantities or claiming that buyers were automatically notified.
- You can explain the lot path and follow-up state without changing freezer quantities or claiming that buyers were automatically notified.
You're Done When
- You can explain the lot path and follow-up state without changing freezer quantities or claiming that buyers were automatically notified.
Common Mistakes
- Inferring a reservation lot only because it references the same freezer item.
- Holding a lot and assuming inventory was removed or buyers were messaged.
- Combining incompatible inventory units in one total.
If Something Still Looks Wrong
Why is a buyer missing from a lot?
Confirm the sale has a contact and either a direct source batch or a linked freezer usage log with both the sale ID and batch ID.
Why is stock shown as legacy or unassigned?
Historical freezer stock without attributable batch movements is left unassigned rather than being falsely inferred. Add correct provenance only when you know it.
Why was no new recall task created after reopening?
Rabbitry Run creates a new task only when no open task already exists for that buyer and batch. Completed prior tasks remain history.
