It would be really helpful if the planned packaging linked to a brew moved with the brew it is allocated to if you needed to change the date of the brew and therefor the date the packaged beer would be available ---

Perhaps Planned Packaging could be slightly ‘smarter’?.. For example, I know that I’m going to plan to rack a cask beer 1 week after it was brewed, and then plan to release it a further week after that… Currently, if for some reason we have to change the brew schedule, and move the brewing day of a cask ale, I then have to edit the planned racking day and planned release day manually. BREWW could be able to have a setting that would do this automa… ---

Also if a brew date moves, it would be great if the occupancy of the secondary vessel would move with it. ---

Adding our support for this one. When we drag a planned batch on the batch schedule, its turns and vessel bookings move with it, but its planned packagings keep their old dates. Someone has to move each one by hand, and when that gets missed our stock forecast is wrong. Two things would fix it for us: 1. Let a planned packaging be linked to its batch with an offset, for example “3 days after the last vessel stage ends”, so it moves whenever the batch moves. 2. Show a warning when a planned packaging is dated before its batch, so a missed one stands out.
