Understanding Operations

An operation is an activity that is performed against a lot of bulk material through a vessel that changes the state of the bulk material. Operations are used for planning, executing, and archiving work in the blend facility. They can also be used for tracing and tracking lot attributes through the blend process. Operations are the transactions in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management.

An operation is comprised of several components. Not every component is allowed for every type of operation. Operations are created from templates that are called configured operations. Configured operations provide permissions on various operation components and enable you to organize operations in a logical, meaningful way. Configured operations are created from more generic templates called base operations.

This table describes the components of an operation:

Component	Characteristics
Operation header	General information about the operation, including: Operation number. Configured operation code. Blend facility. Work order number. Creator. Workflow status. Start and end dates and times. Elapsed time. Movement rules. Alternate operation number. Category codes.
Vessel assignments	A list of From and To vessels upon which the operation will be performed. In-place operations have only From vessels. Movement operations have both From and To vessels. Vessel assignments include: Vessel class. Tank. Virtual barrel tank (VBT). Weigh tag. Sequence number. Vessel number. Instructed movement quantity or instructed After quantity (for movement operations).
Vessel-to-vessel details	A single movement operation might contain multiple vessels. For example, an operation can move the contents of three tanks into four other tanks. The vessel-to-vessel details describe each simple one-to-one movement within the complex operation. Vessel-to-vessel details include: From vessel To vessel Move quantity Unit of measure (UOM) Before From lot After From lot Before To lot After To lot You can instruct multiple movements in several ways: Instruction method From move From after To move To after Distribution method Equal Capacity Percentage
Gains and losses	The two types of gain/loss are: Survey gain/loss: The difference between actual Before volume and planned Before volume. Operation gain/loss: The difference between volume added to the To vessels and volume taken out of the From vessels.
Blend lot details	Attributes that are associated with each lot. After lots details are calculated using blending rules, they can be overridden by the user. Blend lot details include: Blend ID Material type Wine status Instructed attributes Summary attributes End-use reservation (EUR) Owner Composition Style Comments Accumulated additives
Instructions and comments	Instructions are media objects created by the wine-maker, for example, to elaborate on the tasks to be performed. Comments are media objects created by the operator to elaborate on tasks after they have been performed.
Additives	Additives are tracked by item number—for example, chemicals or yeast—and added to a lot. Only one additive can exist per additive operation to provide tracking of each additive in trace and track operations. Additive quantity may be entered using: Fixed Target PPM (parts per million) Rate Flow The system calculates PPM and adds the active ingredients that are contained in the additive to existing accumulated additives for the blend lot. The system validates operational and cumulative thresholds for active ingredients.
Equipment	You can assign one or more pieces of equipment to an operation. Equipment is used to plan and reserve resources, consume dry goods, and apply styles.
Consumables	Consumables are items that do not affect blend lot attributes, for example, a lubrication oil for a piece of equipment. You can assign one or more consumables to an operation.

Viewing Base Operations

This section provides an overview of base operations and discusses how to view base operations.

Understanding Base Operations

Base operations are preconfigured templates that are delivered with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system. Base operations determine which settings are available for a configured operation. For example, the base operation definition determines which lot attributes are instructable when you create a configured operation, or whether an operation uses empty vessels. When you set up configured operations, you can override some of the settings from the base operation. You can view base operations, but you cannot modify them.

Setting Up Configured Operations

This section provides an overview of configured operation setup and discusses how to:

Set up a configured operation.
Specify blend facilities.
Specify material types.
Specify wine statuses.
Specify styles.
Specify lot comments.
Specify vessel types.
Specify equipment types.
Specify vessel attributes.
Edit quality blend rules.
Specify cost groups by winery.

Understanding the Configured Operation Setup

Based on the predefined base operations, you can create configured operations that are customized to reflect the business requirements of the blend operation. If you produce spirits, you can set up configured operations that account for the special requirements of spirits. You can also set up operations for empty vessels.

Note. If you work with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system, you use the Operation Configuration program (P31B75P) to set up information about categories for farming operations.

See Setting Up Configured Operations.

To create configured operations, you need to set up the following user-defined codes (UDCs): Comments UDC table (31/CM), Add/Remove Flag, Lot Comment Option, and Base Operation Category Code.

To handle the special conversions required for various configured operations, for example for dip charts, you must set up the Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM). Where used, the values in this UDC table override the standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne units of measure UDC values (00/UM). Special handling codes instruct the system which conversion to use. The 31B/UM UDC table uses the following special handling codes:

D - Dimension
Z - Barrels
T - Temperature
V - Volume
W - Weight

Defaults

Select the Defaults tab.

With the exception of the operation code and base operation code, you can override the remainder of the information when you are entering operations header information.

Operation Code	Enter a unique, user-defined name to identify the configured operation. This field is required. The user must specify this code to instantiate an operation.
Base Operation Code	Select a base operation code for the basis of the operation. Use the visual assist to review all available base operation codes and descriptions.
Operation Description	Enter a user-defined description for the configured operation.
Perform Survey Measure	Select this option to instruct cellar personnel to take a survey measure. This value is a default, but you can override it for an operation instance.
Show Before Measures	Select to display the Before measure to the cellar personnel. This value is a default, but you can override it for an operation instance.
Fortification	Select to indicate that the configured operation you are creating is used to move bulk material with a spirit material type into a vessel containing a non-spirit material type. This process is called fortification. If this option is selected, the operation is included when you generate the Fortification report (R31B70).
Perform After Measure	Specify when to perform the After measure. This value is a default, but you can override it for an operation instance. Values are: Do not measure: Accept planned values as actual. Final measure: Report the final measure for each vessel. Intermediate measure: Report intermediate measures after each individual movement within the operation.
Instruction Method	Select an instruction method. This value represents the method of instructing the volume to be moved. This value is a default, but you can override it for an operation instance. Values are: None: Select this value when no movement occurs (this selection applies to in-place operations). From After: User instructs the total quantity to decrease the From vessel to once the movement is complete. From Move: User instructs the total quantity to move out of the From vessel. To After: User instructs the total quantity to increase the To vessel to once the movement is complete. To Move: User instructs the total quantity to move into the To vessel. Use this field in conjunction with the Distribution Method field when the operation consists of multiple movements.
Distribution Method	Use this field in conjunction with the Instruction Method field. The distribution method identifies how single movement instructions are distributed among multiple vessels. This value is a default, but you can override it for an operation instance. Values are: None: Select this value when no movement occurs (this selection applies to in-place operations). Equal: When you specify a single quantity for a From or To vessel, the system splits the quantity evenly among the To vessels. To Vessel Capacity: When you specify a single quantity for a From vessel, the system splits the quantity that was moved in proportion to the capacity that is available in the To vessels. Percentage: When you specify a single quantity for a From or To vessel, you can enter a percentage that determines the quantity to allocate from either the From or To vessels and splits the quantity to be moved accordingly.
Harvest Operation	Specify whether the operation is a harvest operation. This field is used only for searching and identifying Configured Operations.
Block Extraction	Select to indicate that this is a yield calculation point in the blend process. You can track the yield of a block up to a certain point in the blend life cycle. You can select operations as the point at which this yield is calculated, which will cause the volume at the end of the operation to be used for block yield calculations.
From Vessel Class and To Vessel Class	Displays type of From Vessel and To Vessel used in the operation as defined by the base operation. Values are: Bill of Lading Bottling Harvest Tank VBT Weigh Tag Note. For in-place operations, you can specify only a From vessel.
VBT Uses	Indicates whether the operation uses barrels or containers. The value in this field is determined by the system. If the base operation is set to allow the vessel class to be overridden, you can specify a value here.
Default Container Type	This field is required only for the tank-to-container (T2C) operation. You specify the default value that the system uses when you create a new virtual container tank (VCT).
From Material Type UOM	Specify the unit of measure for the From (source) material type in terms of volume, weight, or area. This value is critical for the system to correctly perform unit of measure conversions within an operation. Note. To perform a crush operation on the bulk material that you receive on a weigh tag, you must specify Weight as the unit of measure for the From material type.
To Material Type UOM	Specify the unit of measure for the To (destination) material type in terms of volume, weight, or area. This value is critical for the system to correctly perform unit of measure conversions within an operation.
Operation Form Title	Enter a customized title that the system displays when you enter operation information in the Create/Edit Operations Detail program (P31B87).
Permission List Type	Specify the type of permission list used for workflow security for the configured operation you are defining. The permission list type determines which users and roles you associate with specific configured operations and what actions they are able to perform. You set up the operation security definitions in the Operation Security program (P31B922). If you leave this processing option blank, operation workflow security is disabled.

Results

Use the largest contributing lot.

Planned Operation Gain/Loss

Enter a percentage to represent the gain or loss that you anticipate as a result of the completed operation. Enter a negative percentage for a loss.

Allowed Operation Gains/Loss

Enter a percentage that the system uses as a threshold for acceptable gains or losses in material as the operation progresses. Enter a negative percentage for a loss.

Note. If you enter zero, 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.

Topping Loss Calculation Method

Specify the method used to record loss for topping operations. Values are:

None: This is not a topping operation.

Survey Loss: This is a topping operation.

A survey loss is assumed in the To vessel that is equal in volume to the amount of topping material that is removed from the From vessel. The topping material is then blended with the reduced volume in the To vessel. The volume of the To vessel has no net change.

Operation Loss: This is a topping operation.

All the material that was moved from the From vessel is consumed in an Operational Loss for the operation. The volume of the To vessel has no net change.

From After Material Type

Enter a specific material type for the From After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the From After material type.

Note. To perform a crush operation on the bulk material that you receive on a weigh tag, you must enter the material type that you set up with a unit of measure type of Weight.

To After Material Type

Enter a specific material type for the To After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the To After material type.

Note. For spirit operations you must specify a To After material type. Otherwise, the system issues an error when you try to use a vessel that contains a spirit for the operation.

From After Wine Status

Enter a specific wine status for the From After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the From After wine status.

To After Wine Status

Enter a specific wine status for the To After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the To After wine status.

Instructables

Select the Instructables tab.

Instructables

Specify whether the user can manually override these lot attributes after the system blends the lots:

EUR

Ownership

Wine status

Material type

Blend ID

Style

Lot comments

Instructed attributes

Composition

Accumulated additives

The default settings for instructables are provided by the base operation, but you can override that setting here if the base operation allows an override.

Instructed Lot Attributes

Select the Instructed Lot Attributes tab.

After From Instructed Attributes (1 - 12)

Enter specific values for the instructed attributes of the After From lot. If you leave this value blank, the system uses blending rules to determine the After From instructed attribute.

You can configure the date fields (instructed attributes 9 - 12) to display the actual start date of the operation by default. In an operation, the blending engine changes the instructed attribute based on the blending rule. The user can override the default date or the date generated by the blending engine.

After To Instructed Attributes (1 - 12)

Enter specific values for the instructed attributes of the After To lot. If you leave this value blank, the system uses blending rules to determine the After From instructed attribute.

Instruct Zero

For all To and From numeric attributes, you can select this option so that these instructed attributes have a default value of 0 on operation lots. If you select this option, blending does not affect the value of these instructed attributes. However, you can override the value of the instructed attribute on the Edit Operation Detail form.

Cat Code 1 - 5

Select the Cat Code 1 - 5 tab.

Cat Code 1 - 5

Enter a UDC (31B/B1-5) to define various categories for configured operations. You cannot modify the first category code.

Costing

Select the Cost tab.

Document Type

Select the default document type that you want to use for blend accounting from the Document Type UDC table (00/DT).

Cost Group

Specify the default cost group for the configured operation. The system uses the default cost group if you do not set up cost groups for the configured operation in specific wineries.

Before Line Number

Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the Before lot.

Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report.

Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report.

Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report.

Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report.

Line numbers 301 - 399 are grouped in Section 3 of the Legal Report.

Line numbers 100, 200, and 300 are balance line numbers.

Survey Gain/Loss

If you use operational costing instead of standard costing, select an operational costing method to account for survey gains and losses. Values are:

Adjust Proportionately

Expense

Cost Component

If you select the Cost Component option, you must enter a cost component.

If you select the Adjust Proportionately option, the system records the same lot cost amounts for Before and After lots, but it adjusts the unit costs for each cost component. The system does not create journal entries for gain or loss.

If you select the Expense option, the system adjusts the lot cost amounts for each cost component, but not the unit cost, and writes journal entries for gain or loss.

If you select the cost component method, the system records gains and losses as separate cost components. You have to set up these cost components in advance to use this method. When gains or losses are incurred, the system does not adjust the lot cost amounts for each component, but records the gain or loss in the additional cost component you set up. The system adjusts the unit costs for each cost component and records the loss or gain as a unit cost for the additional cost component. The system does not create journal entries for gain or loss.

Survey G/L Line Number (survey general ledger line number)

Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the survey gain or loss.

Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report.

Specify a list of blend facilities for which the configured operation is valid or invalid. Although specifying blend facilities is optional, if you leave this form blank, the system assumes that the configured operation is valid for every facility.

Valid/Invalid Flag	Specify whether the list is for valid or invalid facilities.
Winery	Specify the facility for the operation. The facility is contained in the Winery Master table, where the facility is associated with a branch/plant.

Specifying Material Types

Access the Edit Valid Material Type form.

Specify a list of material types that are valid or invalid for the Before lots for the operation. If you leave this form blank, the system assumes that all material types are valid for all Before lots for the operation.

Important! For configured operations for weigh tags and bills of lading, you must specify a valid material type. The system issues an error if you try to add a weigh tag or bill of lading operations for which you did not specify a valid material type.

If the material on the weigh tag operation does not go into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system, the configured operation can use the material type from the harvest block as the default value.

The system does not calculate configured operations with weight-to-volume and volume-to-weight conversions correctly if you do not specify a material type for the To vessel. The material type record specifies whether the system uses a volume or weight unit of measure.

For spirit operations, you can define valid or invalid material types to prevent the movement from wine into spirits.

Specifying Vessel Attributes

Access the Edit Vessel Attributes form.

Note. On the first three tabs, the system validates that the vessels selected in the operation exactly meet each attribute you define. If you leave any field blank, the system assumes that all values are valid for that vessel attribute for the operation. Use extreme caution when specifying vessel attributes because as you do so, you are restricting the types of vessels that are eligible for use in the operation. If the criteria that you specify are too stringent, the operator might have a difficult time finding one or more vessels that meet the criteria.

On the last two tabs, the user specifies values that apply to the tank master or barrel master when the operation is closed.

Setting Up Workflow Statuses

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

Understanding Workflow Statuses

Workflow defines the status of an operation. You can create user-defined workflow statuses to model business processes that use common operation status rules. You must define a default status for each operation status. For example, you must have a default status for draft, one for active, one for actual, and so forth. When you create a new operation, the system uses draft as the default status for the operation status.

Statuses are:

Draft
Active
Actual
Closed
Canceled

You can configure workflow statuses to meet business requirements. This table lists example workflow statuses:

Status	Configured Workflow Status
Draft	Draft Project request form
Active	Cellar to write Issued Instructed Scheduled Pending Released Working Authorized
Actual	Perform/performed Reviewed Finished Approved Completed
Closed	Final Official
Canceled	Void

Prerequisite

Set up the Workflow Status UDC table (31B/WF).

Forms Used to Set Up Workflow Statuses

Form Name	FormID	Navigation	Usage
View Workflow Status	W31B74B	Blend System Setup (G31B01), Setup Operation Workflow Statuses	Review existing and add new workflow statuses.
Edit Workflow Status Mapping	W31B74A	Click the Add button or select a record and click Select on the View Workflow Status form.	Add new workflow status mappings and edit existing mappings.

Setting Up Workflow Statuses

Access the Edit Workflow Status Mapping form.

Workflow Status Name

Enter the name of the workflow status. For example, a configured workflow status might be Issued, Instructed, Pending, or Cellar to Write. This value must be unique to the status type.

Operation Status

Enter a UDC (31B/WF) that specifies the operation status. Values are:

1: Draft

2: Active

3: Actual

4: Closed

5: Canceled

Default Status

Specify whether the workflow status that you define and map to one of the operation statuses is the default status to use at that operation status level.

Note. You must define a default status for each operation status. For example, you must have a default status for draft, one for active, one for actual, and so forth. When you create a new operation, the system uses draft as the default status for the operation status.

The system provides the following base operations for empty vessels: TRANSMTTNK: Transfer empty tank. TANKMT: Empty tank in place. TRANSMTVBT: Transfer empty VBT. VBTMT: Empty VBT in place. Note. For empty vessel operations, the base operation definition enables you to add equipment, consumables, and resources to the operation.
Vessel Uses Containers	Designates an operation that uses containers rather than barrels. This option is selected for the following container base operations: T2C: Tank to container. C2T: Container to tank. CIP: Container in place. ADDC: Container addition.
Composition Material Type	Indicates whether an operation updates the composition material type on the composition records for the lot. The update occurs when you close the operation. You can select this option for REC, WT, and COMPMAT operations, but it is not required for REC and WT operations. Note. The system provides the COMPMAT base operation that you can use to change the composition material type. The COMPMAT base operation is an in-place, administrative operation.
Simple Vessel Entry	Indicates whether you can create in-place operations using the simple vessel interface on the Edit Operations Detail form. To display the Single From Vessel subform, you must set the processing option for the Create/Edit Operation Detail program (P31B87). If you do not set this processing option, you must use the multiple vessel grid to assign a vessel to the operation.
Adjust Lot Attributes subform	Indicates whether the system displays the Adjust Lot Attributes area on the Edit Operation Detail form when you enter a configured operation. This setting enables you to override certain lot attributes from the Edit Operation Detail form without having to access the Instruct Lot Attributes form. The system automatically displays the Adjust Lot Attributes area for the following base operations: ADJLOT ERROR COMPMAT For all other administrative base operations, the system does not display this area on the Edit Operation Detail form.

Blend ID Method From	Specify the method to use to calculate the blend ID of the After From lot. Values are: Copy after from before. Do not default after Blend ID. Generate new Blend ID.
Blend ID Method To	Specify the method to use to calculate the blend ID of the After To lot. Values are: Copy after from before. Do not default after Blend ID. Generate new Blend ID. Use the largest contributing lot.
Planned Operation Gain/Loss	Enter a percentage to represent the gain or loss that you anticipate as a result of the completed operation. Enter a negative percentage for a loss.
Allowed Operation Gains/Loss	Enter a percentage that the system uses as a threshold for acceptable gains or losses in material as the operation progresses. Enter a negative percentage for a loss. Note. If you enter zero, 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.
Topping Loss Calculation Method	Specify the method used to record loss for topping operations. Values are: None: This is not a topping operation. Survey Loss: This is a topping operation. A survey loss is assumed in the To vessel that is equal in volume to the amount of topping material that is removed from the From vessel. The topping material is then blended with the reduced volume in the To vessel. The volume of the To vessel has no net change. Operation Loss: This is a topping operation. All the material that was moved from the From vessel is consumed in an Operational Loss for the operation. The volume of the To vessel has no net change.
From After Material Type	Enter a specific material type for the From After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the From After material type. Note. To perform a crush operation on the bulk material that you receive on a weigh tag, you must enter the material type that you set up with a unit of measure type of Weight.
To After Material Type	Enter a specific material type for the To After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the To After material type. Note. For spirit operations you must specify a To After material type. Otherwise, the system issues an error when you try to use a vessel that contains a spirit for the operation.
From After Wine Status	Enter a specific wine status for the From After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the From After wine status.
To After Wine Status	Enter a specific wine status for the To After lot. If this value is blank, the system uses lot blending rules to determine the To After wine status.

Document Type	Select the default document type that you want to use for blend accounting from the Document Type UDC table (00/DT).
Cost Group	Specify the default cost group for the configured operation. The system uses the default cost group if you do not set up cost groups for the configured operation in specific wineries.
Before Line Number	Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the Before lot. Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 301 - 399 are grouped in Section 3 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 100, 200, and 300 are balance line numbers.
After Line Number	Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the After lot. Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 301 - 399 are grouped in Section 3 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 100, 200, and 300 are balance line numbers.
Survey Gain/Loss	If you use operational costing instead of standard costing, select an operational costing method to account for survey gains and losses. Values are: Adjust Proportionately Expense Cost Component If you select the Cost Component option, you must enter a cost component. If you select the Adjust Proportionately option, the system records the same lot cost amounts for Before and After lots, but it adjusts the unit costs for each cost component. The system does not create journal entries for gain or loss. If you select the Expense option, the system adjusts the lot cost amounts for each cost component, but not the unit cost, and writes journal entries for gain or loss. If you select the cost component method, the system records gains and losses as separate cost components. You have to set up these cost components in advance to use this method. When gains or losses are incurred, the system does not adjust the lot cost amounts for each component, but records the gain or loss in the additional cost component you set up. The system adjusts the unit costs for each cost component and records the loss or gain as a unit cost for the additional cost component. The system does not create journal entries for gain or loss.
Survey G/L Line Number (survey general ledger line number)	Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the survey gain or loss. Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 301 - 399 are grouped in Section 3 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 100, 200, and 300 are balance line numbers.
Operational Gain/Loss	Select an operational costing method to account for operational gains and losses. If you select the Cost Component option, you must enter a cost component. You can select from the same list of operational costing methods as for survey gain and losses.
Operation G/L Line Number (operation general ledger line number)	Enter the legal report line number corresponding to the operation gain or loss. Line numbers 101 - 199 are grouped in Section 1 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 201 - 299 are grouped in Section 2 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 301 - 399 are grouped in Section 3 of the Legal Report. Line numbers 100, 200, and 300 are balance line numbers.
