Each line in an establishment must be assigned a brand and a brewery.
Make sure you know the definition of a “line”
It is best practice to set up an establishment with the total number of lines, regardless of whether you service them all. There may (hopefully) come a day when you can get more lines at the establishment, and you can just edit the line from Non-Tracked to Tracked.
Tracked Lines
These are the lines you service and track their line cleaning activity. These lines appear in reports and on the line cleaning status page.
If the establishment hires you, you will typically service all the lines. These are usually in “Retailer” states or areas where brewers’/distributors are not allowed to (or don’t want to) offer line cleaning as a service. Establishments must pay for their own line cleaning.
Non-Tracked Lines
These are lines in the establishment that you DO NOT service, but may in the future.
If you clean for a distributor/brewer, separating lines this way is a must. Your customers may change the position of the brand (move it from line 3 to line 5) and staying on top of this is important. Also, you can share the non-tracked line data with your distributors if you like, which they usually find very helpful. They may even pay you for it. It is your data, we don’t share it with anyone, but you can.
