Every harvest, costed and traced to the sale
Eggs, milk, honey, and meat become costed, sellable inventory the moment they're recorded, with a FIFO-traced chain from batch to buyer.
A real look at the traceability chain
Traceability Chain · Table Eggs
4 events · fully traced to origin
Batch B-2024-047 · Table Eggs · 8,400 units collected
Production Receipt PR-00231 · 8,400 confirmed, 0 variance
Standard costing applied · ₦42.50/unit · GL posted to Finished Goods
Sales Order SO-1182 · 3,200 units · revenue split across 2 source batches
Output that can't be costed or traced isn't really inventory
Uncosted output
Without a costing method tied to the harvest, eggs and milk sit in a spreadsheet, not the general ledger, until someone reconciles it manually.
No origin trail
When a customer disputes a delivery or a quality issue surfaces, there's no fast way to say which batch a unit of output actually came from.
Multi-batch sales
A single delivery often draws from more than one harvest. Without attribution, batch-level profitability becomes a guess.
From harvest to revenue, fully linked
Every unit of output inventory carries its origin with it, from the moment it's recorded to the moment it's sold.
Production recorded
A batch's output, eggs collected, milk yield, honey harvested, meat processed, is recorded against the batch as a production or harvest event.
Receipt reconciled
Variance checkedA Production Receipt captures the exact quantity received into inventory, reconciled against what was recorded, with an automatic or manual confirmation policy.
Costed & inventoried
GL postedThe receipt creates a costed output-inventory entry, using standard, batch-actual, or manual costing, with GL accounts inherited automatically from the item category.
FIFO cost-layer tracing
Every unit of output inventory carries its own cost layer. Any consumption, sale, transfer, or wastage, is traced back to the exact batch and receipt it came from.
Sale & revenue attribution
Multi-batch awareWhen output is sold, revenue is attributed back to the originating batch or batches proportionally, even when a single sale draws from multiple production lots.

Audit-readyPull the complete chain at any time: batch → production event → receipt → inventory lot → sale → revenue, for audits or buyer documentation.
What's included
Production & harvest recording
Record eggs, milk, honey, meat, fingerlings, and more, per configurable output type on the production profile.
Production Receipt reconciliation
Draft → submitted → received workflow with quantity variance handling and an Auto or Manual confirmation policy.
Automatic costing
Standard, batch-actual, or manual costing methods, configured per item, applied the moment output is received into inventory.
GL accounts inherited automatically
Finished-goods and cost-of-sale accounts default from the item category, no manual coding required on every receipt.
FIFO cost-layer traceability
Every unit of inventory is linked back to the exact batch and receipt it came from, all the way through to dispatch.
Batch revenue attribution
Quantity-weighted revenue splitting when a single sale draws from multiple batches' production lots.
Common questions
What counts as "production output"?
Anything a batch produces beyond the live animal itself: table eggs, hatching eggs, milk, honey, beeswax, wool, or processed meat. Each production profile defines its own configurable output types, so the system never assumes poultry or a single output.
How is production output costed?
Livestork supports standard costing, batch-actual costing, or manual costing per item. Whichever method is configured, the resulting unit cost is applied the moment the Production Receipt is confirmed, and the finished-goods GL account is posted automatically from the item category.
Can I trace a sale back to the exact batch it came from?
Yes. Every unit of output inventory carries a FIFO cost layer tied to its originating batch and receipt. Consumption, whether a sale, transfer, or wastage, always traces back to source.
What happens when a single sale draws from more than one batch?
Revenue is split proportionally across the source batches based on the quantity each one contributed to the sale, so batch-level profitability stays accurate even when inventory from multiple harvests is fulfilled together.
Trace every unit, from batch to buyer
Production traceability is active from the moment your trial starts. Every harvest you record builds a costed, traceable inventory trail automatically.
