Adding a Seedling Request - Part 2 |
|
|
How to Begin
SPAR will automatically display the Lot Selection screen if you
successfully added the seedling request information as described
in Adding a Seedling Request - Part 1 of this tutorial. The Lot Selection screen
is used to locate suitable Seedlots or Vegetative Lots based on applied
seed transfer guidelines.
What to Look For in Lot Selection
- White fields in the Seedlings Selected column, this indicates
lots that are available.
- Lots that display near the top of the list because they have
higher Genetic Class/Worth.
- Confirm the potential trees or quantity has enough stock to
supply your request.
- Avoid selecting lots which display an E (Exception) or W (Warning)
in the E/W column on the left as they do not match your exact
requirements.

Agencies should use seeds from their own location. If selecting
from another location within their agency, the requester is responsible
for any agreement with that location.
|
|
Surplus
|
Ministry-owned
|
Available for selection by any agency. If the request is non-ministry
funded, the request agency will be invoiced for the seed used.

Surplus
|
Privately-owned
|
Available for selection by the owner agency - any location code.
Also available for selection by any ministry or private request
agency in PND status. The request agency must make a purchase agreement
with the owner agency. The owner agency must then verify the sale
with the Tree Seed Centre in order for the Seedling Request to be
changed to APP status. Alternately, a portion of a lot may be sold
to another agency and the Tree Seed Centre, upon notification, would
then transfer the ownership on SPAR.

Once you have selected your lot and saved the information on the
Lot Selection screen SPAR will return you to the Seedling Request screen. Use this opportunity to review the information one last
time and remember to press the
Save Request button.
