Creating and Editing a Product Usage Report

Learn how to create and edit a Product Usage Report to document every application — including automatic weather capture, map view, and standalone record creation.

Written by Blake Duden

The Product Usage Report is designed to document what happens on-site, capturing important data like date, time, weather, and chemical volumes. This documentation helps with quick and accurate billing and provides critical records for claims or audits. Edits can be made to any saved report by clicking the edit button in the bottom right-hand corner of the selected report.


Step 1 — Navigate to Product Usage and Create a New Report

In the left navigation, click "Product Usage." Then click "+ New" in the top right to start a new report.

You'll be prompted to optionally link a work order before continuing.

Tip: Link the report to a work order whenever possible. It connects your pre-job planning and post-application records in one place, making it easier to pull complete job histories and respond to record requests.


Step 2 — Application

Fill in the core details of the job:

  • Application Site — select the site. If linked to a work order, only sites on that work order will appear.

  • Application Date — defaults to today. Adjust if needed.

  • Drone — select the aircraft from your organization's equipment list.

  • Start Time — auto-filled to when the report was created. Adjust if needed.

  • End Time — add when the job is complete.

Click "Continue."


Step 3 — Weather

AcreConnect can capture current or historical weather conditions. Choose one of three options:

  • Current weather — tap the capture button during the job to pull real-time conditions

  • Historical weather — open your saved work order, navigate to the weather tab, hit the edit button below, and then click Fetch current weather. The system will pull the historical weather based on the date and start time entered in the application tab

  • Manual entry — enter conditions yourself if needed

Click "Continue."


Step 4 — Chemicals

Search the chemical name and select it from the list. EPA number and active ingredients populate automatically. Set the application rate and unit. Click "+ Add Chemical" to log additional products.

Click "Continue."


Step 5 — Products

Enter the Total Acres Applied. Total product used calculates automatically from your rate and acres but can be edited. The Carrier defaults to Water — remove it for dry applications.

Click "Continue."


Step 6 — Notes

Add any relevant details — field conditions, mixing notes, anything worth documenting. Notes appear on the PDF report.


Step 7 — Submit the Report

Once all tabs are complete, click "Submit Product Usage Report" to finalize the record.
