4 Entering Farms, Blocks, and Harvests

This chapter contains the following topics:

4.1 Understanding Farms, Blocks, and Harvests

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management enables you to set up and maintain farms, blocks, and harvest records. A farm consists of one or more blocks that grow the crop that is then supplied to the processing entity. Adding farms in the system is optional. Farms are often defined by their physical geographical boundaries.

A parcel of land on a farm is commonly referred to as a block. You define a block using specific identifiers and attributes. The system uses some attributes that you assign to a farm as default values for a block that you associate with the farm.

A harvest is the representation of the block for a period of a growing cycle. Examples include:

  • The growing cycle for a vineyard is a year, and the grapes are harvested annually.

  • The growing cycle for avocados is two years, and the fruit can be harvested weekly

This diagram illustrates the relationship of farm, block, and harvest records:

Figure 4-1 Farm, Block, and Harvest Relationships

Description of Figure 4-1 follows
Description of "Figure 4-1 Farm, Block, and Harvest Relationships"

4.1.1 Relationship Between Farm, Block, and Harvest

A farm is divided into sections, commonly referred to as blocks. A farm can have multiple blocks, but a block can only be associated with a single farm. Each block can have multiple harvest records. A harvest represents the growing season, such as annual, semiannual, 90 days, or continuous.

The relationship between farm, block, and harvest:

  • A farm can have zero to many blocks.

  • A block can have zero to many harvests; however, only one is the current harvest period.

  • A harvest is identified by a unique combination of Block Code, Harvest Period, and Harvest Suffix. The harvest suffix is a subsection of a block that you can use to differentiate between the harvests on the same block.

4.2 Creating a Farm

This section provides an overview of creating farms and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Farm Maintenance program (P40G01).

  • Create a farm.

4.2.1 Understanding Creating Farms

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, a farm is defined as an entity that provides the crop harvest, for example fruits or vegetables, to a purchasing entity. The system supports two types of farms — external and internal.

The system considers an external farm a supplying entity. An example is when worldwide distributors of produce contract with local growers to supply crops for processing, packaging, and shipping to the consumer. External farms are optional. You can use external farms as a parent entity to one or more blocks.

Companies that process and package the crop can also grow and process their own products. In that situation you use internal farms. Internal farms enable the crop processing company to manage the balance sheet and track of the profit and loss for that farm.

You can define the status of a farm as either active or inactive. You cannot create blocks against an inactive farm.

4.2.1.1 Components of a Farm Record

This diagram illustrates the components of a farm record:

Figure 4-2 Farm Components

Description of Figure 4-2 follows
Description of "Figure 4-2 Farm Components"

You can use the various parts of a farm record to store data that you must track and report for your farm. The farm record contains these many optional fields that you can use to meet business needs.

4.2.1.2 Attributes

The farm records includes:

  • Ownership information, including multiple owners for a farm.

  • Important dates, such as expiration and effective dates.

  • Geographic information, such as region and district.

  • Attributes that you can use to capture relevant information such as crush site and legal description

  • Entities or contacts that are associated with the farm

The farm has elements that you use for informational purposes.

This diagram illustrates the formats that are available for farm attributes:

Figure 4-3 Farm Attributes

Description of Figure 4-3 follows
Description of "Figure 4-3 Farm Attributes"

You can set up attributes that provide significant details for each farm. You then use these attributes to report and track information for the farm. The attributes are in alphanumeric, numeric, date, and check box formats. You can use the attributes with one another or use them for individual tracking. Information that you can track includes:

  • Classifying farms, such as commercial or noncommercial.

  • Accessing resources, such as renting the land or land ownership.

  • Coordinating activities, such as strategic alliances, franchising, and cooperative memberships.

Quantity Per Load

Enter the expected grower quantity per load. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management uses the default information to determine where product is crushed and produced. Typically, you uses these fields if you are not growing a crop that you then process internally.

4.3 Creating a Block

This section provides an overview of blocks, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Grower Block Maintenance program (P40G02).

  • Create a block.

4.3.1 Understanding Blocks

This diagram illustrates the relationship of blocks with a farm and harvests:

Figure 4-7 Block Relationships

Description of Figure 4-7 follows
Description of "Figure 4-7 Block Relationships"

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, you can associate blocks with a farm. Typically, you define blocks by physical boundaries or characteristics. Physical characteristics may include a section of planting rows, geographical boundaries, or requirements for special treatment and management throughout the growing cycle.

A block is a representation of a parcel of land and is typically defined with physical boundaries and characteristics such as the crop grown on the block. For example, a grower may grow crops on a farm made up of 100 different parcels of land. Each of these parcels is represented in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system as a block.

The block's geographic information such as growing area, appellation and region, and coordinates define the physical relationship of the block to the land. You can set up block identifiers and attributes to define the block such as a section of planting rows, geographical boundaries, or requirements for special treatment and management throughout the growing cycle.

4.3.1.1 Matrix Items

Each block may be associated with a parent item number to represent the crop. If the crop has different items that can be the result of growing and harvesting the parent item, the system refers to this parent item as a matrix item. The variations of the parent item are set up in the item master program (P4101). During receiving, another item number may be selected from a predefined list. This replaces the original item number with an item from the matrix.

Apples is an example of a matrix crop on a block. During farming operations, the apples are graded for size and quality. Therefore, receiving variations of the item may include:

  • Grade A, size large

  • Grade A, size medium

  • Grade B, size large

  • Grade B, size medium

  • Grade B, size small

Another example is green peppers. You grow green peppers, but green peppers (when allowed to sit) mature into red peppers. Matrix items accommodate receiving both red and green peppers from the same crop.

4.3.1.2 Grower Attributes

You can set up significant details for each block and harvest using the generic grower attributes. You use these attributes to report and track information for the block and harvest. The attributes are in alphanumeric, numeric, date, and check box formats. You can use the attributes with one another or use them for individual tracking.

Example 1: Grower attributes 1–3 can be set up with one another to track details, such as the soil composition percentage.

Attribute New Field Name Value
Grower Attribute 2 - Soil Composition 2 Clay 5 percent
Grower Attribute 3 - Soil Composition 3 Sand 25 percent
Grower Attribute 4 - Soil Composition 4 Humus 70 percent

Example 2: Grower check boxes can be set up to track information such as whether the crop requires refrigeration, whether it should be delivered to a grain elevator, and whether the crop is grown organically.

Grower Checkbox 1–2 New Field Name Value
Grower Checkbox 1 Refrigeration Required Cleared
Grower Checkbox 2 Organically Grown Selected
Grower Checkbox 3 Grain Elevator Selected

Example 3: Grower numerics can be set up to track annual rainfall and seasonal degree days.

Grower Numerics 2–3 New Field Name Value
Grower Numeric 02 Annual Rainfall 35 (inches per year)
Grower Numeric 03 Seasonal Degree Days 1316

Example 4: Grower dates can be set up to record planning, planted, and cultivation dates.

Grower Dates 01–03 New Field Name Value
Grower Date 01 Planning Date October 6, 2006
Grower Date 02 Planting Date March 30, 2007
Grower Date 03 Cultivation Date September 15, 2007

4.3.1.3 Harvest Period Pattern

One key piece of data that you may enter for the block is the harvest period pattern. The harvest pattern defines the typical growing cycle for a given piece of land or block. For example, grapes typically have an annual pattern, which means that the land is used for a year to grow the grapes. Other crops such as broccoli may have a quarterly pattern because they have a 90-day growing cycle. Still other crops such as bananas may use a weekly pattern as they are harvested weekly and continuously.

If you assign a harvest pattern to a block, then all the harvests associated with the block inherit the pattern from the block. You can change the harvest start and end dates at the harvest level.

If you leave the harvest pattern blank on the block, then you must enter a unique period, which need not be based on an existing harvest pattern.

A harvest code (UDC 40G/HP) must be set up before defining the harvest pattern using the Harvest Period/Pattern Maintenance program (P40G003). If you are using crop rotation, you must create a blank value in UDC table 40G/HP.

4.3.1.4 Update Harvest

When you maintain values on a block, you can automatically change the values on the associated harvest records by selecting the Update Harvest check box. The system updates the appropriate values based on the processing option that is set up.

4.3.1.5 Maturity Date Calculation

You can set up the system to calculate maturity dates for crops to enable growers to plan harvesting. You set up the maturity calculation in the Maturity Calculation Program Name - Setup program (P40G50). You can then attach the maturity program to the material type or directly to the block.

If you associate a maturity program with the material type, the system uses that maturity program name as the default value for the block when you enter the material type for a new block. However, you can override this default value for the block. You can enter only a maturity program name that you set up in the Maturity Calculation Program Name - Setup program.

4.3.1.6 Block Descriptors

Block descriptors are free-form text fields that you can use to identify information about your block such as a legal or specific description of the land. For example, south-facing hillside location or Napa river valley, extending up the east-facing gentle slope.

Block descriptors enable you to set up logical sub-blocks. When performing farming operations you can associate a block descriptor to the operation to indicate that this operation was against a sub-block. This is informational only and does not impact the level at which the system calculates costs. For example, enter block descriptors which represent two sprinkler systems that service the block. When performing an irrigation operation, you can select which sprinkler system was used by the irrigation operation.

To add block descriptors, enter a description of the logical sub-block, the system assigns a block descriptor ID. You can set up multiple rows of 30 character free-form text messages.

4.3.3 Forms Used to Create a Block

Select to indicate whether the action on the block is recurring. Values are:

  • Selected: The action date is recurring.

  • Clear: The action date is not recurring.

If the action is recurring, you can use the Recurring Number of Days field to calculate the next action date when you close the current action date.

Recurring Number of Days

Enter the number of days the system uses to calculate the next action date if the action is a recurring action. The system adds the number of days that you enter to the current action date to calculate the next action date.

You can also use a processing option to enter a default value for this field. If you do not define a default value and do not enter a value here, the system uses a default value of one day.

Date Required

Enter the date on which the action should be taken.

Closed

Select this check box to indicate that the action is closed. If both the Recurring check box and the Closed check box are selected, the system creates a new copy of the Action Date record. The system calculates the new action date by adding the days from the Recurring Number of Days field to the action date that you closed.

For example, you set up a recurring Action Date Code called Till with a Required Date of March 1, 2009. When you select the Closed check box, the system creates a new line by copying the Action Date Code called Till and entering a Date Required that the system calculates based on the closed action date and the recurring number of days.

4.4 Creating a Harvest

This section provides an overview of harvests, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Grower Harvest Maintenance program (P40G03).

  • Create a harvest.

4.4.1 Understanding Harvests

A harvest is the usage of a block for a certain period. A harvest may occur multiple times a year, annually, or every few years. You must associate harvest records with a block.

A harvest represents a single instance of a crop grown on a block of land. Use harvest records to track operations performed against a crop, materials used in the growing cycle, anticipated yield, and accumulated costs associated with a crop. For example, grapes and apples have an annual growing period while other products such as avocados may be harvested monthly. You can define harvests as needed for the seasonality of the crop.

Within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, a harvest record maintains specific information about the crop for a growing cycle.

This diagram illustrates the relationship of harvests with a block:

Figure 4-19 Harvest Relationships

Description of Figure 4-19 follows
Description of "Figure 4-19 Harvest Relationships"

Each harvest has a unique ID that enables you to track and record all activities that are performed on that harvest. Key information that you can track for each harvest includes information such as block location, quality of the crop, operations conducted on the harvest, and ownership.

The system tracks activities performed on each harvest, such as:

  • Associating a harvest record with a contract.

  • Adding, maintaining, and terminating a block or harvest.

  • Viewing harvest information.

  • Estimating crop estimates and maturity.

  • Closing harvests.

  • Conducting quality checks to compare with standards.

  • Tracking deliveries of the harvest to processing sites.

  • Documenting spray activities that involve chemicals for government tracking.

  • Identifying the EUR.

  • Establishing a grower payment schedule.

  • Documenting farming operations.

4.4.1.1 Harvest Suffix

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system enables you to divide your harvests into multiple entities by using a harvest suffix to differentiate between harvests on the same block. For example, you can define a subsection of the block used for experimental farming. When using harvest suffixes, the sum of the gross and planted areas for all the harvests must equal the total area for the block.

4.4.1.2 Harvest Code

A harvest is identified by a unique combination of block code, harvest period, and harvest suffix. For example, if Block 1 is for broccoli you can create the following harvest records:

Harvest Code Identifies
Block 1–2006 The harvest information for broccoli in the year 2006
Block 1-2007 The harvest information for broccoli in the year 2007.
Block 1-2007-T The harvest information for a subsection of the 2007. This area is used for crop experimentation
Block 1-2007-E The harvest information for a subsection of the 2007 harvest. This area is used for export quality broccoli. You are treating this area to produce a more perfect head of broccoli.
Block 1-2008 The harvest information for broccoli in the year 2008.
Block 1-2009 The harvest information for broccoli in the year 2009.

4.4.1.3 Multiple Crops

When a block has multiple crops being harvested throughout a period, you can include all of the potential variations by creating separate harvest records. For example, broccoli is harvested in late fall. On this same block, winter wheat is grown and harvested in early spring. This requires two separate harvests to be set up for this block.

4.4.1.4 Item Matrix

You may have a product that has variations based on how the product is packaged. For example, broccoli is packed in boxes of 12, 14, and 18 count. You can use the item matrix functionality to support your needs.

4.4.1.5 Generate Multiple Harvest Records

The system can generate multiple harvest records from the Search for Grower Blocks form. Click the Generate Harvests button to automatically generate grower harvest records according to the planning window and the harvest pattern setup. The system-generated harvests are created in a future status.

If the item and harvest pattern fields are blank on the block, the system disables the Generate Harvests button. When this occurs, you must manually add harvests.

The system uses the value in the Maximum Harvests processing option to determine the number of harvest records to generate. If the Maximum Harvests processing option is set to two and you have an Annual harvest pattern with harvest periods set up through 2030, the system generates two new harvest records.

4.4.1.6 Maturity Date Calculation

You can associate a maturity date calculation with a specific harvest. When you add a harvest to a block and you have previously associated a maturity calculation program name with the block, the system uses that maturity calculation as the default value for the harvest. However, you can override this value because the status of the harvest is Current or Future. Set up the system to calculate the maturity for crops to enable growers to plan harvesting. You set up the maturity calculation in the Maturity Calculation Program Name - Setup program (P40G50). You can then attach the maturity program to the material type or directly to the block.

For each harvest you can manually enter a planned maturity date. If you have entered a maturity calculation program name for the harvest, you can have the system calculate the maturity date.

4.4.2 Prerequisite

Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must set up block records.

4.4.3 Forms Used to Create a Harvest

[Release 9.1 Update] This processing option drives the Supply and Demand (P4021) functionality and causes the system to create purchase orders during the grower process when you create a harvest, make changes to harvest estimates, or make changes to harvest end dates. When you activate this processing option, the system displays the External Ownership option on the Financial tab of the Add/Edit Grower Harvest form (W40G03C). When you add a harvest, you can select the External Ownership option if you want the system to use the External version of the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) to create purchase orders. Leave the External Ownership option blank and the system uses the Internal version of the Purchase Order Entry program to create purchase orders. The system updates the External Ownership option value to the Grower Harvest table (F40G03). In addition to using the Grower Harvest Maintenance program, you can also use the following programs to add harvests and write the External Ownership option value to the Grower Harvest table:

  • Generate Harvests (P40G02)

  • Generate Harvests (B40G0560)

  • Harvest Roll / Generate Harvests (R40G0560)

  • Push Block to Harvest (P40G024)


Note:

In order to write the External Ownership option value to the Grower Harvest table, each respective program must activate a version of the Grower Harvest Maintenance program, which is set to create purchase orders.

External ownership exists when the A/P interface flag is set to 'N', otherwise it is considered internal and A/P interface is set to ’ Y.


Note:

The system displays the External Ownership option when you set the processing option to create a purchase order. The processing option is located on the Processing tab of the Grower Harvest Maintenance program (P40G03).

4.5 Setting Up EUR Definitions

This section provides an overview of EUR definitions, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to create EUR definitions. EURs are also referred to as intended use.

4.5.1 Understanding EUR Definitions

EURs are codes that you assign to the end product of the harvested crop. For example, when you are growing broccoli, 60 percent of the crop may be sold in bulk to local producers while the remaining 40 percent is used for the fresh market and is packaged by crowns, spears, and florets.

You can designate similar or related EURs as subordinate to a parent EUR. For example, a parent broccoli EUR might have several subordinate EURs if the parent broccoli is to be used in several broccoli end lots.

EURs support the production planning process only.

When you create an EUR definition, you define information about the end products to which you allocate lots or blocks. You must create a short code and attach a brand code. You can specify the harvest period, the primary appellation, wine family, and variety for the EUR. If the EUR that you are defining is a sub-EUR, you can enter a parent EUR.

You extend the EUR definition by defining a set of planning assumptions that enable you to analyze possible planning scenarios based on marketing requirements. However, these planning assumptions are for information only, and the system does not validate them. You can set up the following assumptions for an EUR:

Assumption Description Table
Harvest assumptions Parameters for the quality results of the bulk material that is assigned to the EUR. Harvest Assumptions (F31B0710)
Loss assumptions Parameters for permissible loss thresholds to estimate the quantity of bulk material that is required for the EUR. EUR Loss Assumptions (F31B0730)
Planning assumptions Ability to set up a plan to purchase bulk material for various types of activities in different types of quantities.

Addition and removal of other EURs.

Planning Assumptions (F31B0740)

EUR Cull and Cascade (F31B0741)

Conversion rate assumptions Conversion rates that are used for planning assumptions. EUR Conversion Assumptions (F31B0760)

You can edit an EUR definition only if you have not created an EUR profile version. When an EUR profile version exists, you can view the EUR definition, but the Edit EUR Definition form becomes read-only, preventing you from making any changes to the EUR definition. You can delete an EUR only if it was never used.

This diagram illustrates the EUR of a crop of grapes:
