Title: eaml haulier forms not working and we're off to the abattoir in the morning
Post by: benkt on July 10, 2016, 08:41:33 pm

As the title more or less - I've submitted the movement via eaml and the forms to print out for the haulier (me) and abattoir are all blank - and the fall back templates on the website are blank too!
I've managed to down load a farm-to-market-to-slaughter form and filled that out by hand so I have something to offer in the morning.
I was very positive about the move online but when something like this happens and the phone line doesn't open till 9am tomorrow, I start to get old and grumpy!

Always a good idea to have some spares printed off as I think computers do have their own sense of humour built in!

I remember when we thought computers would save us lots of time and money .....  Aah, how innocent we were.

All went off without a hitch, they accepted the random form and have now confirmed electronically. I find abattoir day stressful enough without paperwork worries!

Jolly good.

Stressful because you don't like it/find it distasteful? Or because of the work, trouble loading, etc?
