Setting Up Lot Attributes

This chapter provides an overview of lot attribute setup and discusses how to:

Set up owners.
Set up style definitions.
Set up composition.
Set up material types.
Set up wine status.
Set up blend IDs.
Set up summary attributes.
Set up instructed attributes.
Enter lot comments.

Understanding Lot Attribute Setup

Using lot attributes enables you to obtain detailed information that is pertinent to a lot of bulk material. Some information might be needed for legal purposes, while other information can be used for accounting purposes or for tracking the lot as it moves through the blend process. You can use this information to identify the status of the lot in the blend process or to identify information such as the geographic origin of the bulk material or the variety and harvest period.

In addition to the lot attributes that are discussed in this chapter, you set up a lot attribute for end-use reservation (EUR). You must set up EURs by harvest period upon implementation and then based on individual companies’ business requirements in preparation for new harvest periods. For example, some companies might need to set up new EURs once per year. You can designate similar or related EURs as subordinate to a parent EUR. For example, a parent Cabernet EUR might have several subordinate EURs if the parent Cabernet is to be used in several Cabernet end lots.

See Defining End-Use Reservation and Validating EUR Product Specifications.

EURs also enable you to track cost and quality attributes for lots.

See Setting Up Costing, Setting Up Quality Management.

Setting Up Owners

This section provides an overview of ownership setup, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up owners.

Understanding Ownership Setup

Blend facilities process bulk materials that are either internally or externally owned, and facilities might need to keep the materials separate. Tracking owners enables you to identify legal ownership of the bulk material in operations, in inquiries, and on reports.

The owner short code is required for setting up the winery constants.

Prerequisite

To set up owners, you must set up address book records for owners.

Setting Up Style Definitions

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

Set processing options for Setup Style Definitions (P31B34).
Set up style definitions.
Assign style definitions to blend facilities.

Understanding Style Definition

Style is a generic term for the recording of various pieces of information about a blend lot, for example, the number of days in oak or number of stirs and filters. After you have defined styles and assigned them to blend lots, they can be used for reports and inquiries. Style definitions are stored in the F31B34 table.

As business processes change, you may need to modify styles. For example, changes might occur in the blend facility, the blending threshold, or operations.

When styles are modified or deleted, those styles affect future blend lots or planned blend lots only when the system recalculates the lots. The system cannot recalculate closed lots. Changing a style can cause historical data to reflect slightly different data than future values.

You cannot delete a style if it is associated with a subordinate style.

Depending on business needs, you can limit the types of styles that the system displays for a specific blend facility.

Sub Styles

You can set up subordinate (sub) styles for a style definition. For example, a style for a barrel might have a sub style of toast. Each sub style can have only one parent style. All attributes of the style become its sub style by default.

After a sub style is set up, you cannot modify its attributes except for the description of the parent style. The parent details are automatically supplied by default and cannot be changed.

Style Assignment

You can assign styles to vessels and equipment. After you assign styles, the system applies these styles to the resultant blend lot when the vessels, equipment, and blocks are used in an operation.

You can manually assign styles to single or multiple vessels. You can automatically assign styles to virtual barrel tanks (VBTs) and barrels.

Prerequisites

To set up style definitions, you must set up the following UDC tables:

Blending Method (31B/BM).
Blank Handling Code (31B/BH).
Wine Effect Modifier (31B/WM).
VBT Summarization Method (31B/VM).
Data Type (31B/DT).
Style Type (31B/TY).

Setting Up Style Definitions

Access the Edit Style Definition Information form.

Data Type

Select a data type to indicate how you want to track the effects of operations or vessels on style. For example, you can determine that the style you are defining tracks how many days or hours a blend lot remains in a vessel, or how much time passes between operations. Data types are stored in UDC table 31B/DT. Values are:

Counter Day

Counter Event

Counter Hour

Date

Percent

Time Day

Timer Hour

Vessel Counter Day

Vessel Counter Hour

Note. Use Vessel Counter Day or Vessel Counter Hour if you want to create a vessel counter style. For other counter styles, you can use Counter Day, Counter Event, or Counter Hour.

If you set up a style definition with the Date data type, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value Override and does not allow you to use the Additive method for this style.

The system uses the wine effect modifier to blend the style date if both the configured operation and the lot have a style ID. If the lot has a date style, but the configured operation does not, the system uses the style blending rules to blend the style dates.

Type

Select a value for the type of style. Style types are stored in UDC table 31B/TY. Values are:

Barrel

Block

Equipment

Operation

Tank

Note. If you use data type Date, you must specify Operation as the style type.

Instructable (Y/N)

Specify whether the style can be instructed in a configured operation.

Wine Effect Modifier

Select a value to specify how the style value of an existing blend lot style is affected by a vessel, a piece of equipment, or an operation. Values are:

Additive: Add the new value to the existing value.

Maximum: Change the value if the new value is larger.

Minimum: Change the value if the new value is smaller.

Override: Change the value.

Wine effect modifiers are stored in UDC table 31B/WM.

Note. If you set up a style definition with data type Date, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value of Override.

Category Code 01and Category Code 02

Assign category codes to the style that you set up. You can use these category codes for summary attributes and named calculations.

Setting Up Composition

This section provides an overview of composition and discusses how to:

Set up geographic areas.
Set up geographic area hierarchies.
Set up varieties.

Understanding Composition

Composition tracks several primary attributes that are required for substantiating label claims. This table lists and describes these attributes:

Attribute	Description
Geographic area	The system enables you to define two types of geographic areas: appellation and growing area. Appellation is the official geographic region as determined by the relevant authorities (American Viticultural Areas [AVA] for the US and Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation [AWBC] for Australia). Growing area is a separate geographic region that, while not legally recognized, is meaningful to the blend facility. Growing area is only applicable if the source is a block. You use the geographic area hierarchy to perform rollups for labeling. You also use it to maintain the geographic area descendent tables for appellations and growing areas (F31B372 and F31B373).
Variety	Defines the type of produce. For example, a variety of grapes could be Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay.
Source	Defines the sources of the produce that contribute to the composition. These sources could be blocks and harvests, or purchase orders. You set up blocks and harvests in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system. See Entering Farms, Blocks, and Harvests.
Harvest period	Characterizes the time and frequency of the harvest. For wine, the harvest period is typically a year, and it is referred to as vintage. If the source of the bulk material is blocks and harvests, you set up harvest periods in the JD Edwards Grower Management system. See Setting Up Harvest Period Patterns. If you purchase the bulk material, you enter the harvest period and other source information on the bill of lading.
Composition material type	Defines the material type of the composition record. Note. For example, wine may be used to create a culture. When this happens, it needs to be tracked separately from the original composition record and separately from other material types when blended.

To support geographic area relationships, the system maintains two geographic area descendents tables. These tables identify the children and grandchildren for any geographic areas. They also support the Use Hierarchy functionality of the Harvest Workbench program (P40G032).

Note. The system provides a batch program that enables you to rebuild the geographic area descendent tables. You can use the Rebuild Geographic Area Descendents program (R31B37) to restore the descendent tables if a problem occurs when you set up geographic areas.

Access the Edit Geographic Area form.

Area Type

Specify the type of area you want to define. Values are:

Appellation

Growing Area

These values are stored in the Geographic Area Type UDC table (31B/GT).

The system stores geographic areas in the Geographic Area Master table F31B37) . The relationships are stored in the Geographic Area Relationship table (F31B371) , and the descendents are stored in the Appellation Descendents table (F31B373) and the Growing Area Descendents table (F31B372).

When you delete a geographic area, the area type determines from which descendent table the system deletes the corresponding record.

Short Code

Enter a free-form text field that identifies the area. For example, enter CA for California and AUS for Australia. The system uses this code to populate the descendent tables. If you update the short code, the area type that you defined for the geographic area determines which descendent table to update.

Setting Up Material Types

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

Set up material types.
Set up material type combinations.

Understanding Material Types

Material type is a lot attribute that represents the state of a parcel of bulk material, for example grape, juice, or wine. The system stores material types in the F31B04 table.

Related material types can be grouped into a summary material type. You can set up rules for combining material types. For example, you can set up a rule that states that when juice is combined with grapes, the resulting material type is fermenting must. Additionally, you can set up a rule that states that when juice is combined with must, the resulting material type is juice.

If the material type that you set up is a spirit, you identify it as a spirit and specify a standard temperature value. You also attach a temperature conversion chart to the spirit material type record to indicate how the system converts ambient temperatures into standard temperatures. You can enter and store the standard temperature for material types only to the tenth degree.

Prerequisites

To set up material types for the Blend system:

Set up the Summary Material Type UDC table (31B/SM).
Set up temperature conversion charts for spirit material types.

Material Type UOM (material type unit of measure)	Select weight or volume as the unit of measure that is associated with a material type. This selection is critical because a lot's unit of measure will always be expressed in terms of the material type unit of measure. Values are stored in UDC table 31B/MU. Values are: Area Volume Weight
Material Type Status	Assign a status to the material type. Only active material types can be assigned to lots.
Fermentation Flag	Identify whether the material type is undergoing fermentation. For volume units of measure, the system uses this field to determine whether a tank white fermentation or storage capacity is used for capacity validation.
Tax Class	Select the tax class for the material type. Material types may fall into different tax classes based on alcoholic content. The tax classes are used for legal reporting. Values are: Fermenting Grapes Distilling Materials Fermenting Grapes Fermenting Juice Grape Concentrate These values are stored in the Material Type Tax Class UDC table (31B/TX).
Upper and Lower Alcohol Limit	Identify acceptable levels of alcohol for a particular material type.
Material Type Comments	Enter free-form text. This field is typically used to provide a reason for a change.

Additional

Winery

Enter the branch/plant for the item that you are using as a cross-reference for costing. The system issues a warning if you did not set up the item for this branch/plant, but you can save the item cross-reference for the material type.

Important! If you do not associate the item with this branch/plant, the system issues an error message when you use a bill of lading to receive bulk material with the material type that you are defining.

Item Number

Specify an item number as a cross-reference for costing purposes. The system retrieves costs for material with the material type that you are defining from the cost information that you set up for this item number. You set up costs by branch/plant

See Entering Item Cost Information.

Maturity Program Name

If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, you can attach a maturity calculation program to the material type record. You use the maturity date calculation program to provide growers with information on the growth status of the crop. This information enables growers to determine the best picking or harvest cut date.

You can select the program from a list or enter the program name manually. This field is available only if you have installed JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management.

Setting Up Wine Status

This section provides an overview of wine status, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up wine status.

Understanding Wine Status

Wine status is a lot attribute that describes the current stage of the blend process for a particular lot. Wine status assists in the planning of work flow during blending. The system also uses wine statuses for inquiries and reporting.

Enter wine status details, such as the user-defined short code, description, and status. You can complete category codes to group wine statuses. For example, you might want to group wine statuses by fermentation status, aging status, and so on.

Prerequisite

If you plan to group wine statuses by category code, ensure that you have set up category codes in UDC table 31B/W# (where # corresponds to the category code number).

Forms Used to Set Up Wine Status

Wine Status

Assign a status to the bulk material. You can assign only active wine statuses to lots.

Setting Up Blend IDs

This section provides an overview of blend IDs, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up blend IDs.

Understanding Blend IDs

A blend ID is a user-defined identifier for a specific grouping of blend lots. The blend ID is a concatenation of abbreviated blend lot attributes. The system generates blend IDs for blend lots based on the rules that you specify in this program.

You can set up multiple sets of the same parameter type within a single blend ID. For example, a blend ID could contain two summary lot attributes, one for appellation and one for variety.

A blend ID consists of:

Segment number
Description
Parameter type
Parameter value
Segment length

If you choose sequence number (SEQ) as a parameter type, the system retrieves the sequence number level for the blend ID from the blend constants. The blend constants provide three sequence number levels:

Implementation
Variety-winery
Winery

If the sequence number level for the Blend ID isImplementation, the system retrieves the next number for the blend ID segment for the combination of blank variety code and blank winery from the Blend ID Sequence Numbers table (F31B501).

If the sequence number level for the blend ID is Variety-Winery, the system uses the parameter value from the blend ID definition and retrieves the corresponding summary attribute value. For example, if the parameter value is 18, the system retrieves the value of summary attribute 18. The system then passes this value as the variety short code to the Variety Master table (F31B38) and retrieves the corresponding variety ID value. Based on this combination of variety code and winery, the system retrieves the next number for the blend ID segment from the Blend ID Sequence Numbers table. If the combination of variety and winery does not exist, the blend ID numbering starts at 1.

If the sequence number level for the blend ID isWinery, the system retrieves the next number for the blend ID segment for the combination of blank variety code and valid winery from the Blend ID Sequence Numbers table.

After you set up blend IDs, you can copy the blend IDs for use among blend facilities.

Prerequisite

Set up UDC (31B/PY).

Sequence Number: 5

Substitution Flag

Specify whether the blend ID definition can use a substitute. The system substitutes the normal value for the associated value that is defined in UDC (31B/SL).

Setting Up Summary Attributes

This section provides an overview of summary attributes and discusses how to set up summary attributes.

Understanding Summary Attributes

Set up summary attributes to display the most significant details of a blend lot. You can use summary attributes to report and search on blend lots and search on child entity attributes. The system provides 25 summary attributes, 15 of which are numeric and 10 of which are strings.

The following table lists examples of summary attributes and how you can set them up:

Summary Attribute	Description
Composition	You can set up composition to display the most predominant varieties, appellations, and harvest periods and their percentages. You can also display multiple varieties, harvest periods, percentages, and the most predominant grower.
EUR	You can set up blend lots to have single or multiple EURs. You can display the largest EUR for the purpose of sorting, searching, and reporting. EURs can be set to the volume, percent, or short code of the largest EUR.
Ownership	You can set up blend lots to have single or multiple owners. You can display the largest owner for the purpose of sorting, searching, and reporting. An owner can be set to the volume, percent, or short code of the largest owner.
Style	Blend lots can have many styles that are assigned and carry values over the life of the bulk material. Set up styles as a summary attribute for searching, sorting, and managing blend lots. You can display the short code or value of the largest style, second largest style, or smallest style. Additionally, you can display the average, minimum, or maximum value of a group of styles. If you summarize by style, the styles must belong to the same data type.
Accumulated additives	Specific accumulated additive values are critical measures for sorting, searching, and organizing blend lots. You can set up summary attributes to display the value for a specific accumulated additive.
Quality Analysis (QA) Results	You can set up blend lots to display QA results for test result names. You can set up summary attributes to display the test result, test date, or expiration date. You can set up summary attributes related to QA results as with a string or numeric data type. If you set up this summary attributes related to QA results as numeric, you can use the comparison functionality in the QBE line to filter search results by quality attribute.

To create summary attributes, you must first generate summary attribute records by using the Create Attributes option on the form menu of the View Summary Attribute Definitions form. After you generate the records, you can provide a detailed definition for each summary attribute.

After you have created a descriptive name and definition for a summary attribute, the system displays the descriptive name whenever summary attributes are used in the system. You can view summary attributes with their descriptive names in the following programs:

Stand alone Barrel Inquiry (P31B03E)
Barrel Inquiry From Inventory Vessel View (P31B03IE)
Instruct Lot Attributes (P31B30)
Wine Lot View (P31B31)
Operation Trace/Track (P31B60)
View End Lots (P31B61)
Inventory by Vessel View (P31B81)
Search for Trial Blend (P31B320)

Note. If you leave the Description field for a summary attribute blank, the system displays the default label Summary Attribute <number>.

Setting Up Instructed Attributes

This section provides an overview of instructed attributes, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up instructed attributes.

Understanding Instructed Attributes

Key information about bulk material is derived from the processes that the bulk material goes through and the observations of the specialists managing the work. Enter lot attributes to record and track such information. Instructed lot attributes are also source data for blend IDs. Instructed attributes must be set up to determine how the system will calculate results when blend lots are blended. The system currently provides 12 instructed attributes: four numeric, four string, and four date.

To define instructed attributes, you must first generate instructed attribute records by using the Create Attributes option on the form menu of the View Instructed Attribute Definitions form. After you generate the records, you can provide a detailed definition for each instructed attribute.

After you have created a descriptive name and definition for an instructed attribute, the system displays the descriptive name wherever instructed attributes are used in the system. You can view instructed attributes with their descriptive names in the following programs:

Stand alone Barrel Master Inquiry (P31B03E)

Entering Lot Comments

This section provides an overview of lot comments and lists the form used to enter lot comments.

Understanding Lot Comments

Lot comments are free-form text comments that you can use to attach pertinent information to a lot. You can enter lot comments for any operation that is set up with instructable lot comments in the base operation. Comments follow a lot throughout the blend process depending on the carry-forward option. You can enter multiple types of comments for a lot, for example, blending, general, tasting, and operations testing.

When you enter lot comments, you can classify the comment using any of the following lot comment codes from UDC 31B/CM:

Code	Description
B	Block
BL	Blending comments
CX	Error correction or lot adjustment
E	Experimental
G	General
O	Operations comments
OT	Operations testing
T	Tasting.

Using the Speed Advanced Comments program (P31B317), you enter comments for the operation and specify the rules for carrying lot comments forward. You can select one of the following options from the Lot Comment Option UDC (31B/LC):

Code	Description
A	No carry forward.
B	Carry forward to all lots.
C	Carry forward if contributes.

Owner Short Code	Enter a unique identifier for an owner.
Address Book Number	Enter a number that identifies an entry in the Address Book system that represents an owner. When you have assigned an address book number to an owner master record, you cannot use this address book number for another owner. If you have already used the address book number in an ownership distribution record (P40G101), you cannot delete the owner master record.
Category Code	Enter a user-defined code (UDC) (31B/OC) to categorize owners.
Identifier	Specify whether the owner is internal or external. This value is used for costing.
Status	Assign a status to the owner. Only active owners can be assigned to lots.
Owner Group	Select a value from the Owner Groups UDC table (31B/OG) to indicate which group an owner belongs to. You assign ownership to owner groups for accounting purposes. The Blend automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) use the owner group to point to an account.

Data Type	Select a data type to indicate how you want to track the effects of operations or vessels on style. For example, you can determine that the style you are defining tracks how many days or hours a blend lot remains in a vessel, or how much time passes between operations. Data types are stored in UDC table 31B/DT. Values are: Counter Day Counter Event Counter Hour Date Percent Time Day Timer Hour Vessel Counter Day Vessel Counter Hour Note. Use Vessel Counter Day or Vessel Counter Hour if you want to create a vessel counter style. For other counter styles, you can use Counter Day, Counter Event, or Counter Hour. If you set up a style definition with the Date data type, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value Override and does not allow you to use the Additive method for this style. The system uses the wine effect modifier to blend the style date if both the configured operation and the lot have a style ID. If the lot has a date style, but the configured operation does not, the system uses the style blending rules to blend the style dates.
Type	Select a value for the type of style. Style types are stored in UDC table 31B/TY. Values are: Barrel Block Equipment Operation Tank Note. If you use data type Date, you must specify Operation as the style type.
Instructable (Y/N)	Specify whether the style can be instructed in a configured operation.
Wine Effect Modifier	Select a value to specify how the style value of an existing blend lot style is affected by a vessel, a piece of equipment, or an operation. Values are: Additive: Add the new value to the existing value. Maximum: Change the value if the new value is larger. Minimum: Change the value if the new value is smaller. Override: Change the value. Wine effect modifiers are stored in UDC table 31B/WM. Note. If you set up a style definition with data type Date, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value of Override.
Category Code 01and Category Code 02	Assign category codes to the style that you set up. You can use these category codes for summary attributes and named calculations.

Sub Style/Parent Style	Select the Sub Style check box to enable the Parent Style field.
Style Value	Specify the default value to assign to a blend lot.

Area Type	Specify the type of area you want to define. Values are: Appellation Growing Area These values are stored in the Geographic Area Type UDC table (31B/GT). The system stores geographic areas in the Geographic Area Master table F31B37) . The relationships are stored in the Geographic Area Relationship table (F31B371) , and the descendents are stored in the Appellation Descendents table (F31B373) and the Growing Area Descendents table (F31B372). When you delete a geographic area, the area type determines from which descendent table the system deletes the corresponding record.
Short Code	Enter a free-form text field that identifies the area. For example, enter CA for California and AUS for Australia. The system uses this code to populate the descendent tables. If you update the short code, the area type that you defined for the geographic area determines which descendent table to update.
Hierarchy Level	Enter the value that determines the hierarchy level of the geographic area that you are defining.
Sort Order Number	Enter the value that is used to sequence geographic areas for display.
Status	Assign a status to the geographic area. You can assign only active geographic areas to a block or lot.
