1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR guides foreground data package construction for non-seed oats grain corresponding to CPC 3.0 01172, “Oats, other”. It covers oats grown for food, feed, or industrial use when the intended end use is declared, from crop production through harvest and, when selected, post-harvest primary drying, cleaning, grading, and short-term storage to a declared farm or primary-conditioning gate. This PCR does not cover oats seed for sowing, breeder or certified seed, flour, malt, starch, ethanol, other processed oats products, retail products, or downstream food, feed, or industrial conversion. The word “other” in the CPC leaf is treated as a coverage label, not as a product identity: the data package must state the intended end-use class and physical product state. The default declared gate is either (a) farm gate at harvest or (b) the gate after post-harvest primary conditioning. The selected gate, moisture basis, cleaning status, grade or quality descriptors, geography, crop year, and packaging or bulk state are mandatory qualifiers.

Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	non-seed end use; food/feed/industrial declaration; oats class or variety where material; moisture basis; quality or grade descriptors; cleaning/drying status; geography; crop year; declared gate; bulk or packaging state
When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in `Required qualifiers` must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. The category reference describes non-seed oats grain, not seed for sowing. It does not supply a verified Tiangong identity for every terminal state.
Each foreground dataset must explicitly select one actual route, declared gate, product state and output row. Reconcile the selected terminal route with `reference_product_at_declared_handoff`; normalize that handoff output to the reference quantity and retain preceding-stage outputs as measured transfers. Raw weighing, mass reconciliation and lot traceability requirements continue to apply.

Select grain_at_handoff for harvest farm-gate delivery, conditioned_oats_grain when the route ends after actual primary conditioning, or declared_gate_oats_grain when the route continues through storage or a later hand-off. Record actual drying, cleaning, grading and any tempering; these states do not share a UUID by default. Confirm each concrete state independently, and retain unresolved identity when confirmation is unavailable.

The sole reference output is reference_product_at_declared_handoff, receiving the selected actual route product at the declared gate. Existing route-output ids identify the source and physical state; they are no longer individually fixed to the reference quantity.

Urea fertilizer (`oats_crop_production_agricultural_nutrient_inputs_urea`)

Collection scope and applicability for oats_crop_production_agricultural_nutrient_inputs. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Collect each fertilizer product separately. Preserve each actual product identity, quantity, formulation, nutrient composition, application event, and allocation; do not count a compound product more than once. Raw activity or stage basis: per 1,000 kg harvested oats grain at the selected gate.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility. Count physical product mass once and retain moisture, N/P/K composition and application events; nutrient quantities are calculated attributes, not additional purchases of the same product. Give unlisted compound and organic fertilizers separate cards identified by formulation or feedstock.

No waste input is assumed. Reused organic materials, recycled water, or other waste-derived inputs are recorded separately when they cross the foreground boundary.

Elementary flows

Land occupation (`land_occupation`)

Record land occupation from field area and crop duration; verify the exact elementary-flow UUID before exchange publication.

Selected flow: Agricultural land occupation
Flow property / unit: Area-time / ha a

Sources: fao-crop-evapotranspiration-56

Measure withdrawal at the actual source boundary in m3, separately from supplied/delivered water. Record freshwater or seawater, surface water or groundwater, location, resource compartment, meter dates/readings and transfers; use closing minus opening cumulative readings with documented meter corrections. Sum source volumes for the matched period and normalize once to accepted reference output. Keep any mass observation separate and convert by V = m/rho only with a documented compatible water density and units; no implicit kg-to-m3 equality. A broad unspecified-water identity cannot substitute for the actual source. Missing source/type or conversion evidence is an explicit gap and blocks a fully identified or complete water inventory claim.

Elementary flows

Record dust or direct combustion emissions only when supported by the selected method and confirmed flow identity.

Outputs

Product flows

Grain delivered to farm or primary-conditioning hand-off (`grain_at_handoff`)

The hand-off output is the measured grain mass transferred to the selected gate route, with moisture basis and lot identity retained.

Selected flow: harvested non-seed oats grain at the field or conditioning hand-off

Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
Amount rule: measured loss mass and declared fate
Value mode: Foreground record (foreground_record)
Specificity: Site-specific (site_specific) Raw activity or stage basis: per 1,000 kg harvested oats grain.
Normalization basis: per declared reference flow

Keep the waste UUID explicitly unresolved until composition, state and receiving route match a public identity.

Elementary flows

No additional elementary flow is required without a confirmed method and identity.

Process: Primary Drying, Cleaning, and Grading (`primary_conditioning`)

Inputs

Product flows

Harvested oats grain entering primary conditioning (`grain_to_primary_conditioning`)

Electricity at the equipment supply point (`conditioning_energy_input_electricity`)

Collection scope and applicability for conditioning_energy_input. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Drying, cleaning, grading, and conveying energy is recorded by campaign or line where it crosses the conditioning boundary. Raw activity or stage basis: per kg conditioned oats grain output.

Process: Product Measurement at the Declared Handoff (`declared_reference_handoff`)

This node records the actual product handoff at the existing system boundary for reconciliation and reference-quantity normalization. It adds no physical processing and does not presume drying, cooling, storage, packaging or transport. Each data package declares one actual route, one terminal product state, moisture or dry-matter basis, and gate. Feed only the accepted product delivered by that route at that gate into this node; do not add other routes as extra inputs. Record co-products separately and apply Section 7. Count preceding inputs, losses and emissions once. Normalize using the measured accepted net mass at the handoff; this measurement node changes neither mass, yield nor allocation.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_avoidance`	crop, harvest, and conditioning processes	First avoid allocation by subdividing crop operations, harvest, drying, cleaning, grading, storage, and waste-handling responsibilities wherever records support separate process nodes.	`iso-14044-2006`
`allocation_grain_and_residue`	oats grain and removed straw or residue	Treat residue left in the field according to its declared fate. When straw or another residue is removed or sold and subdivision is not possible, use an explicitly declared physical or economic allocation method and disclose sensitivity.	`iso-14044-2006`; `fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999`
`allocation_screenings_and_rejects`	screenings, damaged grain, and off-grade material	Record accepted grain, screenings, rejects, and losses as separate outputs with fates. Do not assign rejected material to the reference product without an explicit rework or allocation decision.	`fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999`; `usda-oats-standards-2020`
`allocation_substitution`	residue or by-product use	Use substitution only when the displaced product, route, market, and evidence are declared; do not infer a displacement credit from a product label or generic residue name.	`iso-14044-2006`
Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_residual_precedence`	remaining common burden with no specified primary branch	Resolve any study-specific joint-product instruction in this PCR that has no specified primary branch using this precedence; retain an already explicitly prescribed category-specific primary method. First directly assign separable output-specific activities. For the remaining common burden B, use a physical driver d_i only when measured operation or biological-service records demonstrate the causal consumption represented by that driver. A product being weighable, valuable or lower grade alone is insufficient; do not switch arbitrarily between area, time, mass and revenue. For comparable grades receiving the same common handling, measured processed mass is applicable only with the same service demand, state and moisture basis demonstrated. Share a_i=d_i/sum(d_j); B_i=Ba_i. If no defensible causal physical driver exists for that common operation, use gate- and period-matched economic shares a_i=(q_ip_i)/sum(q_j*p_j), with the complete independently intended output set, compatible quantity/price units, currency, representative prices and values before output-specific downstream processing. Missing price or denominator evidence makes the allocated result incomplete, not a zero-priced product or a single-output system. Report shares summing to one and sensitivity to a material alternative; an alternative is not an interchangeable primary result. Waste, retained residues and internal transfers receive no co-product share, while their attributable production/handling burdens remain with the producing saleable route. Retain unallocated physical quantities and mass balances separately. This branch gives no automatic substitution credit; any separately scoped substitution analysis retains the gross inventory and its actual displaced-function evidence.	`ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011`

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

requirement_id	collection_protocol_id	Preserved collection scope
`crop_protection_product_input_specific_input`	`cp_crop_protection_records`	Operation oats_crop_production: Crop-protection products are recorded by formulated product or active ingredient according to the available primary record; the selected representation must be declared. Original quantity method: measured formulated-product or active-ingredient mass by application

Retain raw site, lot, cycle and stage quantities and denominators in each collection protocol. Reconcile stocks, losses, moisture and co-product attribution first, then normalize: normalized exchange = attributable raw exchange × declared reference quantity / accepted hand-off product quantity on the same boundary and measurement basis. Apply perennial-establishment and shared-operation attribution before this normalization. Never set an internal-transfer quantity equal to the final reference quantity. Per declared reference flow means the amount, unit and product state in section 3; the data package must declare its actual route and gate.

`chemical_species_mass_accounting`	`elementary_nutrient_emissions`	Final elementary exchanges use the mass of the identified substance and one actual receiving compartment. Keep nutrient/activity ledgers separate: species-specific N2O-N × 44/28 gives N2O, NH3-N × 17/14 gives NH3, nitrate-N × 62/14 gives nitrate, and phosphate-P × 95/31 gives phosphate. If the selected flow is elemental phosphorus instead, report kg P and convert phosphate mass by 31/95 only when that species basis is evidenced. Apply a conversion exactly once only when the method output is on the elemental basis; measured compound mass is not reconverted. Total nutrient losses cannot be assigned to a single species without a supported split, and residual/retained soil nutrient is not an emission. Keep direct/indirect pathway ledgers and avoid repeating a pathway already included in the chosen method or upstream inventory. Factor uncertainty ranges screen factors on their stated basis, not final compound amounts or admissible site emissions. Normalize the attributable compound mass once using the accepted reference quantity and the matched measured output. Unknown activity, identity or compartment remains an evidence gap and blocks a completeness claim.	`cp_fertilizer_input_records`; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_crop_production`	field production	Include declared seed-for-sowing input, land occupation, soil preparation, sowing, fertilization, irrigation where applicable, crop protection, field operations, and direct field emissions through harvest.	ipcc-2019-managed-soils-n2o, fao-crop-evapotranspiration-56
`boundary_harvest`	harvest and field hand-off	Include harvesting, threshing or combining, field-side collection, and transport to the declared farm or primary-conditioning hand-off when these activities are in the foreground data package.	fao-grain-postharvest-systems-1998, fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999
`boundary_primary_conditioning`	post-harvest route	Include primary drying, cleaning, grading, dust or screenings handling, and short-term storage only when the declared gate is after those operations.	fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999, fao-grain-postharvest-systems-1998
`boundary_downstream_exclusion`	downstream processing	Exclude milling, malting, starch or ethanol conversion, food or feed formulation, retail, and consumer use; represent these as downstream datasets.	fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999, usda-oats-standards-2020
`boundary_input_completeness`	all foreground routes	Address fertilizer, irrigation, crop protection, field energy, electricity, land, harvest energy, drying energy, cleaning losses, residues, and direct emissions with a value, justified zero, or documented exclusion.	ipcc-2019-managed-soils-n2o, fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999

Allocation rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoidance`	crop, harvest, and conditioning processes	First avoid allocation by subdividing crop operations, harvest, drying, cleaning, grading, storage, and waste-handling responsibilities wherever records support separate process nodes.	iso-14044-2006
`allocation_grain_and_residue`	oats grain and removed straw or residue	Treat residue left in the field according to its declared fate. When straw or another residue is removed or sold and subdivision is not possible, use an explicitly declared physical or economic allocation method and disclose sensitivity.	iso-14044-2006, fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999
`allocation_screenings_and_rejects`	screenings, damaged grain, and off-grade material	Record accepted grain, screenings, rejects, and losses as separate outputs with fates. Do not assign rejected material to the reference product without an explicit rework or allocation decision.	fao-wheat-postharvest-operations-1999, usda-oats-standards-2020
`allocation_substitution`	residue or by-product use	Use substitution only when the displaced product, route, market, and evidence are declared; do not infer a displacement credit from a product label or generic residue name.	iso-14044-2006
`allocation_residual_precedence`	remaining common burden with no specified primary branch	Resolve any study-specific joint-product instruction in this PCR that has no specified primary branch using this precedence; retain an already explicitly prescribed category-specific primary method. First directly assign separable output-specific activities. For the remaining common burden B, use a physical driver d_i only when measured operation or biological-service records demonstrate the causal consumption represented by that driver. A product being weighable, valuable or lower grade alone is insufficient; do not switch arbitrarily between area, time, mass and revenue. For comparable grades receiving the same common handling, measured processed mass is applicable only with the same service demand, state and moisture basis demonstrated. Share a_i=d_i/sum(d_j); B_i=Ba_i. If no defensible causal physical driver exists for that common operation, use gate- and period-matched economic shares a_i=(q_ip_i)/sum(q_j*p_j), with the complete independently intended output set, compatible quantity/price units, currency, representative prices and values before output-specific downstream processing. Missing price or denominator evidence makes the allocated result incomplete, not a zero-priced product or a single-output system. Report shares summing to one and sensitivity to a material alternative; an alternative is not an interchangeable primary result. Waste, retained residues and internal transfers receive no co-product share, while their attributable production/handling burdens remain with the producing saleable route. Retain unallocated physical quantities and mass balances separately. This branch gives no automatic substitution credit; any separately scoped substitution analysis retains the gross inventory and its actual displaced-function evidence.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011
