Grower Point of Sale Reporting Requirements


 

Reporting Deadlines

Deadline 1:  June 30 (Spring sales)

  • 1/1-6/30 sales and current inventory should be reported by 6/30
  • Accounts are considered reconciled when Beginning Inventory + Invoiced Units – GPOS Reporting – Inventory = 0 AND all growers are properly licensed.
    • Ex. Beginning Inventory (50) + Invoiced Units (250) – GPOS Reporting (225) – Inventory (75) = 0
    • We do not assume that the remaining unreported units are in inventory, so inventory MUST be reported
Deadline 2:  Dec 1 (Fall sales)
  • All remaining sales should be reported by December 1
    • All sales made after Dec 1, should be submitted by year-end

Completed grower reporting forms should be emailed to GrowerReporting@ForageGenetics.com

Q: Account lost inventory, what do they do?
  • A: Shrink or minimal inventory losses are a part of business. When the account is otherwise reconciled, please communicate this information to GrowerReporting@ForageGenetics.com.
    • Lost units will be used to reconcile the account, but no program credits will be paid on them.
