This screenshot has a red “X” next to each field that is auto-calculated. Notice that the field itself is grayed out. It cannot be manually changed. These fields calculate based on the other data that has been input into the Brewer’s Production Record.

This is an example of one production record. Note the calculations based on the input data. Once the required data is filled in, click on the Add Production Record button.
