Transactions record changes to your ingredient inventory. You can create three types of transactions manually: deliveries, pickups, and physical inventory adjustments. Usage transactions are created automatically by FeedComp as feedings are completed. For definitions of each transaction type, see [Transaction Types](docId\:mhkQLgJVzhUrvmXsPFlQf).

## From PULSE (Web)

You can create a transaction from the **Overview** tab or the **Transactions** tab on the Inventory page.

1. Open the Add Transaction side panel:
   - From the **Transactions** tab, select **Add Transaction** at the top right of the page.

From the **Overview** tab, first open the ingredient details — select the **Details** link on a card (Cards view) or select the ingredient name (Table view) — then select **Add Transaction** in the side panel.

3. Select the transaction **Type**: **Delivery**, **Pickup**, or **Physical Inventory Adjustment**.

5. Select the **Ingredient** associated with the transaction.
6. Select the **Location** where the transaction took place.

   - For **Delivery** or **Pickup**: Enter the **Start Weight** and **End Weight**. The **Net Weight** calculates automatically.

8. In **DM Cost**, enter the as-fed cost of the ingredient and select **Unit** or **Ton**.
9. In **DM%**, enter the dry matter percentage of the ingredient.
10. For **Delivery** or **Pickup** only: Select the **Vendor** and enter the **Driver** name.
11. In **Note**, add any additional notes about the transaction.
12. Select **Save**.

## From the Mobile App

On the mobile app, you create transactions from the ingredient details screen.

1. Under **Adjustments**, tap **Inventory**. On the next screen, tap **Inventory** again to view your ingredient cards. Tap the ingredient card you want to create a transaction for.
2. Choose the type of transaction:
   - Tap **Create Transaction** to record a **Delivery** or **Pickup**.
   - Tap **Physical Inventory Adjustment** to record a manual adjustment.
3. Add the transaction details, then tap **Save** at the bottom of the screen.

🗒️ **NOTE:** Before creating a delivery or pickup, a vendor must be assigned to the ingredient. See [Vendors](docId\:Un-HdsrHx9jjizeGJRPZl) <font color="#0C121D">to learn more</font>.

## Important Considerations

Keep the following points in mind when creating transactions.

- FeedComp updates your recipes and feedings automatically when transactions are created or when the DM% of an ingredient changes.
- Usage transactions are created automatically as feedings are completed and cannot be created manually. They are only visible on the web when the **Show Usage** filter is checked.
- FeedComp supports offline mode on the mobile app. Transactions created while offline are saved locally and applied automatically once your device is back online. See [Mobile Connection Status](docId\:FxNZd3CEKRxoJ8TtHG0mM) for more information.
- To view, edit, or delete an existing transaction, see [View Transaction Details](docId\:wlyK2l31So3fKLX9lB_i-) or [Edit or Delete a Transaction](docId:_u5DJmbfxA9oh0ekIe6QU).
