Backdating allows you to maintain accurate records for your livestock and paddocks. The information below serves as a guide for how far back records can be created.
As a rule for Mob Management, restrictions may apply if you are trying to backdate past the mob creation date within AgriWebb.
For best practice to input past records, ensure they are entered in the same series of events that occurred in the field (earliest record to latest - chronological order).
Note: Backdating record restrictions do not apply for Individual Animal Management.
Note: Data from integrations including Farmbot & Cibolabs can't be backdated, data will start flowing from the day the integration is set up. However, we may be able to upload historical rainfall data, reach out to our support team if you have further questions here.
Livestock
All records can be backdated to the creation date for that mob. If you select a date prior to this, it shows an error message “Mob is unavailable until.. X date”.
If you have a different mob size on the backdated date, it will update the mob no. of head accordingly.
Backdating records that change mob size (recount, sale, death), you must have enough head count on that selected date.
Example: Add a mob of 100hd on Monday, merge 50hd in on Tuesday (now 150hd), then sell 90hd on Wednesday (60hd remaining). You can’t backdate before Monday as the mob didn’t exist, and you can’t reduce the mob by more than 60hd before Tuesday as that would result in there not being 90hd left over to sell.
