In the field, a bag of fruits and seeds is a “collection”, but once you accept it into your seed bank, it becomes known as an “accession”. Terraware gives each accession a unique accession number which will follow it throughout the steps of seed banking, nursery, and out into the field during planting. The accession number follows the following format:
Year (XX) - Location (1 for Seed bank, 2 for Nursery) - Chronological Number (XXX)
So, for example, if you had an accession come into your seed bank on Jan. 1st 2023 and it was the 115th accession in your seed bank for that year it’s accession number would be: 23-1-115. Note that while you can delete accessions, the last three digits of the next accession will be unique and will not re-use the deleted number. This does not affect your counts and totals in the software.
