I am having issues as I can’t include Dam details in stock book. It says this record already exists. Do you have a way I can include Dam details as we are an emerging Stud this is very important.

This occurs when you successfully entered a number of animals as "Pedigree Only".
When an animal is imported as "pedigree only" it is entered into Stockbook with a status of "Dead/Disposed" since it defaults that the animal is not "on property/alive" it is made inactive.
To view inactive animals check the "Include inactive" box in the lower left of the Stockbook Window.
This article shows how to make pedigree only animals active: https://support.practicalsystems.com.au/Articles?id=37
Note: You can not make active animals to pedigree only. You will need to do a Sale/Death/Disposal event, it will make the animal inactive but it will keep the pedigree details.
If an animal is accidentally disposed of or made inactive, this article will show you how to undo it: https://support.practicalsystems.com.au/Articles?id=247
