Animal Purchase and Sale Guide

The Animal Purchase and Sale module allows organized recording of livestock entries and exits on the farm.

Each record is linked to the unique UUID that IdeasFarm automatically assigns to each animal at the time of creation, ensuring traceability in any transaction.

Animal Purchases

The purpose of purchase records is to document the entry of animals to the farm.

When registering a purchase, you must specify:

Field	Description
Purchase Date	The day the animal entered the farm.
Origin Farm	The farm from which the animal comes.
Animal	Selected from the database or created at that moment if it is new.
Animal Breed	If the animal is new, its breed must be entered (or crossbreeds, if applicable). This enriches subsequent analyses on genetics and productivity.
Purchase Price	Amount paid for the animal.

This process ensures that each purchased animal is correctly identified, with its breed recorded and linked to the origin farm.

Animal Sales

Sales records are used to document the exit of animals from the farm, whether due to culling, business, or transfer.

When registering a sale, you must specify:

Field	Description
Sale Date	The day the animal left the farm.
Destination Farm	If the sale is to another farm that also uses IdeasFarm, enter its ID; otherwise, leave this field empty.
Sale Price (USD)	Price at which the animal was sold.
Reason for Sale	Options include low production, health status, age, reproduction, genetic anomalies, or normal livestock sale.

This allows control not only of economic aspects but also technical reasons for the animal's exit.

🔑 Importance of UUID

Each animal has a unique UUID generated by IdeasFarm.

This identifier is never repeated and accompanies the animal throughout its life on the platform.
Ensures traceability even if the animal changes owner or farm.
Allows purchase and sale reports to maintain consistency, avoiding duplicates or confusion.

Reports and Integration

Purchase and sale records are stored and available in livestock movement reports.
This allows analysis of economic flow, animal entries and exits, and farm evolution over time.
Integration with the individual animal record ensures that every transaction is linked to its history.

👉 With this module, IdeasFarm ensures that every livestock commercial operation is clear, traceable, and documented, providing key information for both technical and financial farm management.
