Setting up: your operation, suppliers and pricing
Ten minutes of setup makes every load and barrel after it one tap. All of it is under Settings on the Log's home screen.

- Your operation: farm name, business name, address and license number. These print on every label and slip.
- On the label: organic certification and the origin line.
- Label and Receipt Printing: your printer, and whether a label or slip prints as soon as you enter a barrel or load.
Suppliers and your own woods#
Sources are where sap comes from: your own woods and the suppliers you buy from. Open My sites and sap suppliers.

- My sites: your own woods. If you use Sap Spy monitoring, your sites are already here. Add taps for a site and the report shows gallons per tap.
- A supplier: tap one to see this season's totals, their deal, and the button that sends them their page.
- Add another supplier.
Adding a supplier#
Tap Add another supplier, or + Add on the Log a load form.

- Name. Add their woods below it if they haul from more than one place.
- Phone and email. Needed only if you want them to get a receipt or their link.
- Priced: the deal (see below).
- Add supplier. The button is at the bottom of the screen.
Pricing deals#
Each supplier has one deal, and every load is valued the moment it lands.
| Deal | How a load is valued |
|---|---|
| Per point | gallons x Brix x your rate. The usual deal; $0.16 a point is the default. |
| Share of bulk | the syrup the sap makes, in pounds, x the bulk price per pound x their share. |
| No price | your own woods, or a deal settled some other way. |
Changing a deal part way through the season is fine: the new rate starts on the date you choose, and you can reprice the loads since then or leave them.

- Priced: the deal and the rate.
- Share their delivery page: sends them a link to their own loads and totals.
- This season: loads, gallons, value, paid and unpaid.
FAQs
Not at once. Change the rate on the date it changed; loads before that date keep the old rate.
