Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Farms, Blocks, and Harvests

JD Edwards 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 harvest that is then supplied to the processing entity. Adding farms in the system is optional. The system uses some of the attributes that are assigned to a farm as defaults for a block that is associated with the farm. Farms are often defined by their physical geographical boundaries.

A parcel of land on a farm is commonly referred to as a block. A block is defined using specific identifiers and attributes. A harvest is the representation of the block for a period of a growing cycle. For example, the growing cycle for a vineyard is a year, and the grapes are harvested once a year, whereas the growing cycle for avocados is two years, and the fruit can be harvested weekly.

In JD Edwards Grower Management, a farm is defined as an entity that provides the crop harvest, which can be either fruits or vegetables, to a purchasing entity. Two types of farms are supported in the system: external and internal.

An external farm is considered 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 and may be used as a parent entity to one or more blocks.

Companies that process and package the crop also grow and process their own products. This is called an internal farm. Internal farms allow the crop processor company to manage the balance sheet and track of the profit and loss for that entity.

A farm is either in an active or inactive status. You cannot create blocks against an inactive farm.

Attributes

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

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Blocks

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, blocks can be associated with a farm. Blocks are typically defined 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.

Matrix Items

Each block is associated with a parent item number. When this parent item or crop has a number of variations, it is referred to as a matrix item within the system. When the user receives the crop, he or she can select the variation from a predefined list. Each variation is commonly referred to as a matrix item. You set up all the variations for a parent item in the Item Master program (P4101). An example of a matrix crop is broccoli: a central head can be packaged in cartons containing 12, 14, or 18 bunches, depending on the product size.

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 in conjunction with one another or use them for individual tracking.

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

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.

Pricing Hierarchy

This diagram displays the pricing hierarchy used by the system:

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.

Recurring Number of Days

Enter the number of days that you want the system to use 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.

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.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Harvests

A harvest is a representation of the block for a growing cycle. A harvest may occur multiple times a year, once a year, or once every few years. Within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, a harvest record maintains specific information about the harvest.

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

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

Harvest Suffix

The system enables users to create test blocks for crop experimentation, organic farming, or other purposes. For example, you can define a subsection of a block that is used to grow these experimental crops. You use the harvest suffix to differentiate between the harvests on the same block.

A harvest is identified by a unique combination of block code, harvest period, and harvest suffix. The harvest suffix is a free-form field. The sum of the gross and planted areas for all harvests must be the same as the total areas of the block.

Multiple Crops

When a block has multiple crops being harvested throughout a period of time, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 as long as 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.
