Harvest Orders
A harvest order is a predefined plan for harvesting resources such as timber or crops, ensuring sustainability and environmental protection. This plan provides you with predictable resource availability, economic stability, and compliance with legal regulations, fostering long-term sustainability and responsible resource management.

| Status of the agricultural location | Harvest Order | Status of the harvest order |
|---|---|---|
| No Use | Cannot be created | --- |
| Inactive | Created | Inactive |

- By selecting a desired harvest order line and creating the records.
On the General FastTab, the No. of Blanket Purchase Orders field shows the number of blanket purchase orders created.
When there are multiple lines on the Lines FastTab, you can create a commodity receipt if any line contains values in the commodity item fields. Each commodity item will correspond to a commodity receipt document.
Additionally, you can create a purchase order or a blanket purchase order with all the lines transferred to them as new lines.
