How it works
Two journeys. One system.
Coffee enters as cherry and leaves as a compliant shipment. These are the two paths it takes through ANCHOR COFFEE ERP — and the records each step writes.
Cherry to green
What happens between a delivery arriving at the station and green coffee sitting in the warehouse, valued and graded.
- 01Receiving a deliveryThe delivery arrives at the station and is recorded against that station.
- 02Purchase receipt createdA receipt is created with an automatic number, capturing supplier, quantity, price per kg, quality notes and payment status.
- 03Processing batch recordedInput cherry weight, process type and output green weight are recorded against the batch.
- 04Lot created automaticallyThe lot is created and coded from the batch, with the yield percentage derived from what went in and what came out.
- 05Stock added to inventoryGreen coffee is added to inventory as that lot, with quantity, cost and average valuation.
- 06Quality stored against the lotGrade, moisture and screening are captured against the lot, not left in a notebook.
