Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Blend Facility Setup

Before you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system, you must set up the blend facility. You configure the facility to meet business requirements and set up default values that can save you time during the blend process. For example, you set up basic information, such as the address, units of measure for volume and weight, costing information, staff, staff skills and functions, and work areas.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up Winery Constants

This section provides an overview of winery constants and discusses how to set up winery constants.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Winery Constants

The winery constants provide default values for a blend facility. You use the winery constants to set up next numbers and other default processing for the blend facility. In addition, you set up units of measure, bottling, and costing information.

On the General Information tab, specify next number values for work orders, operations, bills of lading, and bond serial numbers. These fields are required.

This tab also enables you to specify the default virtual barrel or container type. The system uses this default value when you create a virtual barrel tank (VBT) or a virtual container tank (VCT) for an operation.

You can specify threshold percentage for survey gains or losses. When the survey gain or loss is outside of the threshold percent, you must enter a comment with the operation before you can save the operation. If you adjust the operation and a survey gain or loss no longer exists, the system displays the comment until you remove the comment. If you enter zero as an allowed operational gain or loss, no threshold for acceptable gains or losses exists and the system does not generate an error message when the operational loss is less than zero percent.

You can also specify a default threshold value for significant change. The system uses the value that you enter in this field to trigger a warning when you review an existing operation and the Before lot quantity is not equal to the previous Before lot quantity with a variation that exceeds the threshold specified here. The system also triggers a significant change warning when the blend ID, material type, or wine status of the Before lot has changed. For trial blends, the system uses the significant change percentage to trigger a warning when the volume of the original input lot, when added to the trial blend, is above or below the specified threshold when compared to the current volume of the lot.

If you want to use the facility to create virtual lots, you set the virtual lot indicator. You also use the virtual lot indicator to specify the type of virtual lots that you want to create for the blend facility. You can use different types of virtual lots, for example, virtual Competitor lots or virtual To Buy lots for different trial blend scenarios. The value that you specify here for the virtual lot indicator is a default value for virtual lot records in the Lot Master table (F31B31).

For spirit operations, you can specify the default spirit volume. This setting is used to determine whether a blend facility calculates the volume of a spirit as proof or as alcohol. In addition, you specify a quality assurance (QA) alcohol attribute. The system uses this value to determine what alcohol value (that is, which QA test result) to retrieve and use when calculating the spirit volume. The specified QA alcohol attribute appears as a percentage. You must enter a QA alcohol attribute if you want the system to calculate spirit volumes.

On the Unit of Measure tab, you specify units of measure for variables such as volume, weight, and pressure. These units of measure are stored in the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM).

Costing

On the Costing tab, you specify the accounting method that you use for the blend facility. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system supports both standard cost and operational (or actual) cost accounting.

When you use standard cost accounting, the system creates journal entries based on the standard cost of the end-use reservation (EUR). All EURs must be associated with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) item, which serves as the basis of the cost of the EUR. You attach the EUR to a blend lot. As the lot moves through the blend process, you attach costs to the lot. Variances occur in standard costing when the EUR of a blend lot changes. These variances are not a result of a difference between the actual cost of the lot and its standard cost.

Operational accounting tracks costs at the cost component level. Operational costing does not create variances because the system records transactions at the actual cost. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system uses costs that you set in the inventory costing method for the item as it relates to the EUR.

Regardless of the accounting method, the system bases costs for blend lots using operational costing. However, the general ledger (G/L) cost method that you select for the blend facility is the basis for creating journal entries.

Consider these facts when working with costs:

The system calculates cost in this sequence:

  1. Survey gains/losses of EURs on the before lots resulting from dips/measures (if actual dips/measures have been entered).

  2. Move quantities for movement detail lines.

  3. Operational gains/losses of EURs on the moved before lot.

  4. EUR reclassification if EURs change for standard costing, which is the net difference between the blended EURs and the instructed EURs.

Note. You can use different accounting methods (operational and standard) between the other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system. However, once you choose to use standard cost accounting, you cannot change the accounting method.

Sampling Information

On the Quality tab, you can set up information to support sample management for quality assurance. You can specify a default sample container by selecting a container that you set up in the Sample Container program (P3705) Yo use sample containers to hold the samples that you collect for tasting throughout the blend process. The default sample container determines the size of the sample that is taken.

You can also determine the default range for acceptable test results and specify the date that the system uses as the default testing date.

Enter the next number used for bill of lading documents. Do not modify this value unless you are sure you want to reset the bill of lading next numbers for the blend facility.

Note. This is the bill of lading document number, not the bill of lading vessel number.

Bond Serial Number

Enter the next number used for bond serial documents. Do not modify this value unless you are sure you want to reset the bond serial next numbers for the blend facility.

Inventory Update Method

Specify the method that the system uses to update dry goods quantities in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system. Values are:

Batch: The system updates inventory with batches of inventory transactions.

Interactive: Inventory transactions are recognized immediately.

Survey Gain Loss Threshold % (survey gain loss threshold percent)

Enter the allowed value for survey gains or losses. The system validates that the operation survey gain or loss does not exceed this threshold.

Note. When the survey gain or loss is outside of the threshold percent, you must enter a comment with the operation before you can save the operation. If you adjust the operation and a survey gain or loss no longer exists, the system displays the comment until you remove the comment.

Additionally, if you enter zero as an allowed operational gain or loss, no threshold for acceptable gains or losses exists and the system does not generate an error message when the operational loss is less than zero percent.

Significant Change Threshold % (significant change threshold percent)

 

Specify the default threshold value that volume changes for the Before lot of an operation or the input lot for a trial blend should not exceed.

If the volume change exceeds the specified threshold, the system issues a warning and highlights the field in the trial blend application. A significant change can occur as the result of a direct lot change or through a dependency.

Virtual Indicator

Specify whether you want to define the blend facility as a virtual facility. Virtual facilities represent an abstract framework for using virtual lots. Any vessels or lots that are used in a virtual facility are represented as any other physical vessel or lot in the system. As virtual lots, however, they do not really exist in the system, which means that you cannot use them in operations. The value that you enter here is used as the default virtual lot type in the Lot Master table (F31B31). Values are:

Blank: Non-Virtual Lot

1: Trial Blend Lot.

2: Virtual “To Buy” Lot.

3: Virtual “Competitors” Lot.

4: Imaginary Lot.

The values are set up in the Virtual Lot Types UDC table (31B/VL). Virtual lot types are indicated by special handling code 1. The values in this UDC table are hard-coded.

Default VBT type (default virtual barrel tank type)

Specify the VBT or VCT type that you want to use as a default value when creating a new VBT or VCT. The system uses the type to calculate the number of barrels or containers when a volume is given, or vice versa.

You must set up the barrel or container type that you select here in the Barrel Types and Capacities program (P31B032).

Barrel Tracking Method

Specify the default tracking method that the system uses for barrels. Values are:

C:The system tracks barrels as collections with similar attributes. The collection is a single record, but it stores the number of barrels associated with the collection.

U: The system tracks barrels by their unique ID number in quantities of one.

At receipt, barrel attributes that are representative of the entire collection are stored with the quantity of barrels in the collection.

Container Tracking Method

Specify the default tracking method that the system uses for containers:

C:The system tracks containers as collections with similar attributes. The collection is a single record, but it stores the number of containers associated with the collection.

U: The system tracks containers by their unique ID number in quantities of one.

At receipt, container attributes that are representative of the entire collection are stored with the quantity of containers in the collection.

Owner Short Code

You must specify the owner that the system uses as the default value when you create operations.

Spirit Volume

Specify a value to determine how a blend facility calculates the volume of a spirit. If you specify Proof Volume, the system uses the following formula to calculate the volume of a spirit: (Volume × Alcohol %) × 2 . If you enter Alcohol Volume, the system uses the following formula to calculate the volume of the spirit: Volume × Alcohol % .

The value that you enter in this field determines the label of the spirit volume field on the Instructed Lot Attributes and View Lot Details form. The default value is Proof Volume.

QA Alcohol Attribute and UOM (quality assurance attribute and unit of measure)

You must enter a value to be able to calculate the proof or alcohol volume of a spirit. The value you enter here determines which alcohol value (that is, which test result value) to retrieve and use for calculating the spirit volume. The specified test result name returns the QA result as a percentage.

Note. If you do not provide a QA alcohol attribute, the system does not calculate proof or alcohol volumes for spirits. The system also does not perform any conversions from ambient to standard temperatures, because the conversion factor is assumed to be 1.

Type of Establishment

Specify whether to set up the establishment as a winery or a cellar. The system uses this field in the Fortification report (R31B70).

Unit of Measure Information

Select the Unit of Measure Information tab.

Winery UOM System (winery unit of measure system)

Specify whether the measurement system for the blend facility is metric or U.S./Imperial.

Volume

Enter a UDC (31B/UM) that specifies the primary volume unit of measure associated with a facility. For example:

  • Gallon

  • Liter

Weight

Select a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM) that specifies the primary weight unit of measure associated with a facility.

Note. To perform a crush operation on the bulk material that you receive on a weigh tag, you must ensure that the unit of measure you specify here matches the unit of measure of the default quantity that you set up for the grower cost center.

See Setting Up Grower Cost Center Defaults.

Dimension

Select a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM) that specifies the dimension unit of measure associated with a facility.

Area

Select a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM) that specifies the area unit of measure associated with a facility. This value is used primarily by the JD Edwards Grower Management system.

Temperature

Select a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM) that specifies the temperature unit of measure associated with a facility.

Pressure

Select a value from the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM) that specifies the pressure unit of measure associated with a facility.

Bottling Information

Select the Bottling Information tab.

Select the appropriate options in the Actuals and the Inventory On-Hand areas.

Quantity Produced

Specify whether to include the number of bottles that you have produced in the calculation of operational gain and loss. If you specify that only the number of bottles that you have produced should be included, the system considers only the actual number of bottles produced, but does not include any of the other values even though a number of bottles may have been broken or been used for sampling. For example, if you produced 150 bottles, broke five bottles during the bottling process, and sampled five bottles, the system only includes the 150 bottles produced in the calculation.

You can also specify whether to include the number of bottles that you have produced in the on-hand calculations for inventory. You calculate on-hand inventory of bottles for the item that you use as a cross-reference for the EUR of the bottling vessel.

See Creating EUR Definitions.

Quantity Broken

Specify whether to include the number of bottles that break during the bottling process in the calculation of operational gain or loss. You can also specify whether to include the number of bottles that break in the on-hand calculations for inventory.

This section provides an overview of weight-to-volume conversion rates, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set up weight-to-volume conversion rates.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Weight-to-Volume Conversion Rates

During the blend process, you must convert the weight of materials, such as grapes or must, into a volume measurement. Conversely, you can convert volumes of juice or wine into weight when they are added to grapes or must. You can define weight-to-volume conversions by:

Weight-to-volume conversion is a prerequisite task for estimating yields before a complete conversion to volume. Values calculated from weight-to-volume conversions are replaced by actual volume when Drain/Press operations are completed for the blend lot.

Changes to weight-to-volume conversion rates affect only future operations.

The system uses this hierarchy to determine which weight-to-volume conversion to use:

You must set up at least one conversion rate at the global level.

Note. Do not use the Weight/Volume Conversion Setup program to set up conversions from volume-to-volume or from weight-to-weight. If you attempt to add a volume-to-volume or a weight-to-weight conversion in this program, the system will issue an error.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up Operation Workflow Security

This section provides an overview of operation workflow security, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Operation Workflow Security

Various types of users may perform blend operations. One type of user could be a wine-maker, who creates new operations and can delete operations that are still at a draft status or move operations from draft to active status. Another type of user may be an operator, who has permission to enter results and record actual values against active operations, but who should not be able to close operations.

To ensure that only authorized personnel perform certain activities, you can attach users to permissions based on the job roles that they perform. Operation workflow security defines under which set of conditions a user is allowed to perform a certain action. You use the Operation Security program (P31B922) to set up user permission levels for each configured operation that might occur in a blend facility. You define permissions not only by configured operation and blend facility, but also by user action and workflow status. Workflow statuses provide more details about an operation status, such as Planned or Active. You can define multiple workflow statuses for each operation status.

To set up operation security, you must associate users with a specific permission type. Permission types are stored in the Permission Type UDC table (H95/PT). You can then associate the users with a specific security definition. You can add or remove users from the permission list.

You set up permissions by exclusion, that is, the system excludes the users on the permission list from the user action for which you are setting up workflow security. For example, you can set up a permission list that excludes any user associated with the list from promoting a particular configured operation to any workflow status in a specific blend facility.

Once you have set up operation workflow security, the system validates the permissions of each user to set up and maintain operations. When you enter operation header information, the system validates the workflow status you entered and whether you have permission to enter operations at the blend facility as soon as you submit the information. If you do not have permission, the system issues an error and does not save the information.

When you attempt to edit an operation at a blend facility and at a workflow status for which you do not have permission, the system prevents you from editing the operation, but it does enable you to view the operation details. The system also prevents you from promoting an operation to a status for which you do not have permission. For example, the operation permission list can be set up to prevent users from closing an operation.

The system validates user permissions by first determining the permission list to which the user belongs. The system uses the permission type that you set up for the configured operation to identify the permission list. Then the system performs a predefined hierarchical search to determine whether the user has permission to create, edit, or promote an operation. The search sequence proceeds by substituting *All for every component of the permission list, as illustrated by this table:

Specify the configured operation for which you want to set up workflow security.

Winery

Specify the blend facility where you want to apply operation workflow security.

Workflow Status Name

Select a workflow status that you set up in the Workflow Status Mapping program (P31B74). Because you set up workflow security by exclusion, this value is the status at which the user is not permitted to perform the user action.

For the user action called Promote, this value is the status to which the user cannot promote the configured operation.

User Action

Specify the action that the user is not permitted to take. Values are:

1: Add.

2: Edit.

3: Promote.

4: Add/Edit or Promote.

These values are stored in the User Action UDC table (31B/UA).
