Same worksheet rules as Storage: a Pay.gov transcription aid, not a filed form. Processing is 5110.28 — bulk in Processing plus bottled/packaged spirits.
Open: Reports → TTB Spirits → Processing — 5110.28. Same month picker as Storage. Same Filing-ready vs INCOMPLETE banner, Audit CSV, and Print lock.
How to read Processing
- Pick the month on TTB Spirits.
- Open the Processing tab.
- Header is the same plant identity from Spirits Settings.
- Part I is bulk processing (received, bottled or packaged, dumped, losses, gains). Packaging remainder losses and gains report gross here (loss and gain on their own lines, never netted).
- Part IV is bottled beverage spirits — the Processing classification you set on the spirit type (and therefore on the product). That is why the type's Part IV line must be right before you bottle.
- Print only when filing-ready. Transcribe; do not e-file from Ollie.
What feeds Processing in the GNS-to-bottle path
- Batching output that lands in Processing (the default).
- A Storage → Processing account transfer of bulk.
- Packaging draws (bottled or packaged) and remainder loss/gain.
- Materials used in processing when they belong on this form.
A product's origin and spirit type decide which Storage report / which Processing class the bottled goods support. Change those on the type or product before the first transaction you care about — classifications lock after use.
INCOMPLETE
Same as Storage. If a packaging run, adjustment, or write-in cannot be placed on a printed line, the month is INCOMPLETE and Print stays off. Resolve the list on the page, then come back. Regenerating always matches the ledger as it stands.
Pro Tip: Processing → Storage is illegal. If you need bulk back in Storage, that is not a Transfer TTB Account. Talk to compliance before you try to “undo” a Processing lot into Storage.
Production (5110.40) is a later article — it fills when you distill, not when you only buy GNS and bottle.
