How to log milk sales and usage on DairyLogs

Record milk sales, calf feeding, and household use in DairyLogs Milk → Usage so available milk and income stay aligned.

Milk → Usage tracks milk leaving available inventory—sales to customers, calf feeding, and household use—with price and customer fields so available vs produced vs sold stays reconcilable.

Before you start

Log production first under Add records so there is available milk to allocate.
Create customers under Customers before attributing sales if you track buyers by name.

Steps

Open Usage: Go to Milk → Usage (/dashboard/milk/usage). Review available vs produced vs sold cards.
Add a sale or use: Create an entry for sale, calf feeding, or household use. Enter litres, price when selling, and the customer for sales.
Confirm available milk: After saving, available milk should drop. Check Finance income/receivables if the sale was unpaid.

Tips

Prefer Customers for repeat buyers so receivables and sales history stay linked.
Household and calf milk still reduce available litres even when price is zero.
