Resource shortfalls report

CLEM.Reporting.ReportResourceShortfalls

A report of all resource shortfalls occurring in the simulation.

Insufficient resources will limit the ability of farm tasks to be performed and provide an indication of where the farming system might be improved to achieve the optimal management. This report will record any shortfalls from any resource when requesting by an activity.

An single instance of this report component is added in each simulation branch of the simulation tree.

The following parameters are used to define this activity and entered under the Properties tab in the user interface

This value determines the cut-off value before any pasture shortfalls below the desired intake are reported. Desired intake is the intake required without accounting for any reduction as a function of pasture biomass and resulting availability (see Ruminant type). Reporting this shortfall highlights where pasture has limited animal intake but is not critical and below the required intake. This setting determines the sensitivity to reporting such transactions.

This report will create a table in the output database ("Shortfall").

The report is updated whenever a shortfall is reported. If transmutations (see Managing transmutation) are successful the shortfall is avoided and not reported.

This report will create a table using the following settings in an APSIM Report. Alternatively, you can use or modify these details.
