Register ON movements

Use this screen to register the movement of an animal ON to your holding.

The page is split into 3 sections: information entry; check information; and send the information.

Section 1 - Add one or more movements to the list

This is where you enter the information. You must enter the animal eartag number and the date the animal moved on to your holding. When you have finished, click on the 'Add to list' button.

Eartag - type in the whole eartag number. Please enter the identity in the same format as it is shown on the passport/official documentation.

ON movement date - enter the date the animal moved on to your holding in the format dd/mm/yyyy. For example 1 January 2009 will be entered as 01/01/2009. You can use shortcuts including 1/1/9, 1 1 9, 1-1-9 as they will be changed to 01/01/2009. Or you can click on the 'Calendar' button to select the date. This can be helpful if you know what day of the week the animal moved on.

This date will stay in this box until you choose another date or exit this screen.

CTS Online will check the date you enter.

Section 2 - Check the list of movements and correct any errors

When you have clicked the 'Add to list' button this moves the information to the second half of the page and adjusts the counter on the first line of this section. You can then enter another movement in Section 1

Delete movement from list - if you want to delete one of the animals from the list, click on the circle to the left of the eartag and click the 'Delete' button.

Correct movement details in list - If you need to correct the information in one of the summary lines, click on the circle to the left of the eartag number and then click the 'Edit' button. This will move the information to the first section for you to correct. When you have made the changes, click on the 'Replace in list' button. This will replace the information in section 2.

Check animal details (optional) - this will check the details against the Cattle Tracing System and show you the breed and sex of the animal.

Section 3 - Send the list of movements to BCMS

When you are happy with all the information in section 2 click on the 'Send' button to send it to CTS . You will then see a feedback receipt, which shows the information you have sent to CTS. You can print this by clicking on the 'print' symbol.

If you realise you have made a mistake after sending the information, please contact the BCMS helpline as soon as possible.
