How Cut & Wrap is calculated
When you click Create Sale Order on a carcass with a cut sheet, Cleaver:
- Reads the carcass’s hanging weight (or live weight if no hanging weight is set).
- Converts that weight into your shop’s display unit.
- Multiplies by the Cut & Wrap product’s Sales Price.
- Generates a sale order line with quantity in your display unit, price per display unit, and a description naming the animal and customer.
For a 620 lb hanging-weight beef carcass at $2.75/lb Cut & Wrap rate,
that’s 620 × $2.75 = $1,705 on the SO line.
Kill Fee logic
If the carcass is marked Killed on site = Yes during intake, the Kill Fee is added to the first sale order generated for that animal. For share-buyer carcasses (multiple customers, multiple cut sheets), only the first customer’s SO carries the fee — Cleaver does not double-bill.
Cancelling that first SO releases the fee back to the next SO created for the same animal. This makes share-buyer billing fair regardless of which customer’s sheet was processed first.
Smoke / Cure, Sausage, Aging Premium
These are added manually to the SO at pickup — the operator types the actual weight of meat that was smoked / sausage-stuffed / dry-aged. Cleaver doesn’t auto-derive them because each customer’s preference varies and forcing automation here was a source of double-billing bugs in an earlier version.
