NAIT Reporting

Overview

This screen displays the current status of NAIT reporting requirements for a farm, enables a user to initiate the transmission of a report directly to NAIT and see details of previous transmissions.

Overview

NAIT Reporting Scope

When you initially select NAIT Reporting from the menu, it will display the following notification outlining the transactions that currently can be facilitated using the StockManager application. 

Select Farm

After acknowledging the NAIT Reporting Scope, it will present the following screen where you select the farm to view NAIT Reporting details and initiate reporting. This is required due to the web portal structure that allows users to view and manage multiple farms associated with the account.

Simply select the down arrow in the Select Farm box and select the name of the Farm to be presented with the NAIT Summary page for that farm. If the farm selected does not have complete NAIT system credentials available, a dialog will be presented notifying you that some NAIT details are missing with a link to the Farms page where you can select the Farm and edit the NAIT details

    • If it is active and selected, it will:

      • Check that the NAIT number, username and password has been entered for the selected farm.

        • If not it will present an error dialog stating that information is missing with a button to go to the Edit Farm screen

    • Animal Status​ - this is a list of the status changes in StockManager that correlate to specific NAIT reporting requirements

    • Cattle and Deer counts - this is a count of animals by type that have changed status and require NAIT reporting

    • The counts shown in the table are update based on the following rules

      • ​Status Changes​
        • Any time an individual Cattle or Deer record status is changed to one of those listed in the table​
      • Select the trash can next to a non-zero count will reduce count to zero (after confirmation)

        • Failed - count is NOT reduced for each record
      • Exceptions
        • If an animal’s status has changed multiple times since the last reporting, only the earliest status change will be shown. Once that status change has been transmitted successfully (Success or Warning), the next earliest status change for the animal will be shown in the count. This will continue until all status changes for an animal are successfully transmitted.
