What is an Other Entity?

Overview

In Traction Enterprise, we use Entities to represent different types of organizations you make work with. They can represent your input suppliers, buyers, partners, or just about anyone else you do business with.

Answer

At the basic level, an entity classified as Other is involved in your farming operation, but does not fall into the Farm Entity, Landowner, Supplier or Customer category.

You would typically use the Other category for third-party storage locations, to track custom work that you do for another farm, or work completed by someone else. One example of an Other entity is an airport where you store inputs for aerial applications.

Create an entity if an organization will own inputs or take possession of a crop at any point in the crop year.
