Selection Tables Tasks

Selection Tables allow you to set specific size requirements for certain products to ensure a consistent product each time. These requirements can be by size in weight (in Lbs) or by how many bones the product has to have. Selection Tables help the planning system by specifying on average, the percentage of a certain piece type that fall into a specified size category.

How to Add Selection Tables

Step 2: Click the "Add" button located in the Actions Panel.

Step 3: Several fields will appear below the selection tables list where you can enter information about the new selection table. Fields that are highlighted in red are required and must be entered, these fields are as follows:

• Name: Enter the name of the new selection table.
• Piece Type: The piece type the selection table is for.
• Selection Rate Total: This must total 100% before the selection table can be saved, see below how to update this by adding sizing records.

Step 4: Click the green "+" button to add a sizing record to the table.

Step 5: On the right side of the screen, several fields will appear for you to enter information about the sizing record. Fields highlighted in red are required and must be entered, some fields don't appear as required until a drop-down selection is chosen. The required fields are as follows:

• Selection Rate: The rate at which a relevant cut of meat falls into this sizing record.

Step 6: Repeat Step 5 above until the selection rate total on the selection table totals 100%. Once it's at 100%, click "Save" in the actions panel to save the selection table. Once saved, it will appear in the selection tables list.
