Add Population Expenses: Print What You Applied, and Reuse It Next Time

Written by David Wang | Aug 13, 2026, 1:06:10 AM

 

Same additive, same processing charge, same handful of lots — every month you retype it, and end up with nothing on paper to file. Two new checkboxes on the Add Population Expenses screen fix both.

1. A printed record of what actually got charged

Tick "Generate a printed version of these applied expenses" before saving, and FLS Cloud opens an Applied Expense Report as soon as the save completes — the same layout as the old FLS desktop version:

  • One shaded line per entry you typed — date, item, category, and a description like "Apply 264 LBS to Pen 9 per Lot at $0.6500 per LBS."
  • Below it, one line for every lot the expense actually landed on, with that lot's quantity and total.

Apply to All Lots, or to a pen holding three lots, and the split happens behind the scenes. The report shows you exactly where the money went. Print it, save it as a PDF, or attach it to an owner statement.

2. Start next time where you left off

Tick "Remember these applied expenses for next time" and your saved rows come back the next time you open the screen — items, categories, quantities, prices, lots and pens, all filled in. Change the date, adjust a quantity, save.

Leave it unticked and the screen opens empty, exactly as before.

Try it

Both checkboxes are off by default, on the toolbar next to Save. Tick them on your next monthly charge and see how much you never have to type again.
