5r2brkhwrqbt ) behave the same was as standard scheduled feedings if a feeding is in progress or a split is completed, the only change allowed for the feeding is swapping equipment other updates can be made after the feeding schedule resets if the first split has not started when the equipment assigned to a split feeding is changed, the splits are recalculated once the first split begins, does not recalculate the splits instead, it applies the outcomes described in scenarios 2 docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt , 3 docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt , and 4 docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt below scenario 1 standard split feeding when this happens a recipe load is bigger than the mixer capacity, and you approve it to be split before feeding starts what does divides the load into equal parts recalculates ingredient amounts for each split updates counts what you see in feedings splits created as planned main feeding created and scheduled; splits viewable in split feeding details docid\ cxe1us9j

reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing) why it matters you get accurate splits without doing any math by hand automatically splits the recipe load to safely fit within mixer capacity scenario 2 splits partially completed, equipment changed, new mixer larger than remaining load when this happens you start with splits, then switch to a mixer larger than what’s left in the load what does keeps completed and/or in progress splits as is merges the remaining load into one final split what you see in feedings completed and/or in progress splits remain with no changes remaining splits merged into one new split what you see in feed history docid\ k8iasctygaeiiuvsomluy splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing) why it matters reorganizes the feeding automatically; no manual adjustment needed scenario 3 splits partially completed, equipment changed, new mixer smaller than remaining load but large enough for each split when this happens you switch to a smaller mixer that can’t hold the whole remaining load, but can hold each split what does completed and/or in progress splits are completed leaves remaining as separate, and each recalculated as completed what you see in feedings all splits remain as is what you see in feed history docid\ k8iasctygaeiiuvsomluy splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing) why it matters splits remain accurate without any recalculation required in this case, you may choose to manually recalculate the remaining splits, depending on how much total load remains and how many still need to be fed scenario 4 splits partially completed, equipment changed, new mixer too small for remaining load or even a single split when this happens you switch to a mixer that can’t hold the remaining load or even one split what does completed and/or in progress splits are completed acknowledges that the chosen equipment cannot safely hold the remaining splits shows for all remaining splits what you see in feedings all splits remain as is displayed for the main feeding what you see in feeding schedule exports docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt an warning displayed for all remaining splits what you see in feed history docid\ k8iasctygaeiiuvsomluy splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing) why it matters prevents errors by flagging when the mixer is too small for the remaining splits similar to scenario 3 docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt , in this case you may choose to manually recalculate the remaining splits, depending on how much total load remains and how many still need to be fed see view feeding details docid\ cxe1us9j 5r2brkhwrqbt to learn more about the page edit,
