The Fisherman Accounting functional area is used to manage buying fish from fishermen and managing all the transactions unique to a seafood plant. The main tasks performed include importing Fish Tickets and settling with fishermen. The Fisherman Accounting functional area integrates with the Financial, Inventory, Payroll, Purchasing, and Sales functional areas. The purpose of the Fisherman Accounting Preference Page is to configure how these features work. From here, users can set defaults, identify which features are used, and how the enabled features perform.
