12.1 Understanding Operation Entry

Operations are individual activities that together define the blend process. Operations include the activities of receiving bulk material into the system, crushing the bulk material and subjecting it to a variety of treatments, such as moving it into vessels with specific characteristics that are intended to affect the product, and stirring the liquid. You can also mix in additives that change the characteristics of the product, for example by raising the sugar content. As part of the process, you can perform quality tests to monitor the state of the product. At the end of the process, you package the product for sale purposes, for example you bottle the wine that you have produced.

Configured operations can be classified into seven major categories, as the following table illustrates:

Operation Category	Examples
Receiving operations	Receive wine, receive transferred wine, receive full tank, receive full barrel, receive to tank, decant.
Move operations	Tank to tank, barrel fill, barrel to barrel, top barrel from tank, top barrel from barrel, barrel empty, crush, drain press, filter/centrifuge.
Add operations	Tank addition, barrel addition.
In-place operations	Tank in place, barrel in place, portable tank relocation, barrel relocation, barrel self topping, empty tank in place, empty virtual barrel tanks (VBT) in place.
Administrative operations	Adjust lot attributes, adjust inventory, VBT maintenance, error correction, declared loss, override composition material type.
QA operations	Quality assurance. See Managing Quality.
Removal operations	Ship and transfer bulk material, ship full tank, ship full barrel, bottling, transfer empty tank, transfer empty VBT.

When you elaborate operations, you must add tanks or VBTs containing one or more barrels to the operation. For additive, in-place, administrative, and QA operations, you need only source vessels (From vessels) because you do not move the bulk material. Receiving, move, and removal operations require From and To vessels as the source and destination vessels of the operation. Vessels include not only tanks and VBTs, but also weigh tags, bills of lading, and bottling vessels.

The bulk material in a vessel is represented by the blend lot. Lots are the mechanism that the system uses to track changes to the bulk material. Operations change the attributes of the blend lot and effectively create new lots. For example, turning grapes into juice changes the material type of the bulk material. Moving bulk material into a barrel may result in style changes as a result of the impact of the barrel style. Mixing additives into the bulk material changes the QA result the next time you perform a test. Thus each operation has a Before and an After lot in relation to each vessel.

If an operation uses more than one vessel, for example in move operation, both the From and the To vessels have their own Before and After lots. If you move a quantity from one vessel to another, the After lot of the From vessel shows a decreased quantity, whereas the After lot of the To vessel shows the increase. The following diagram illustrates the relationship of vessels and lots in move operations:

Figure 12-1 Vessels and lots

Description of "Figure 12-1 Vessels and lots"

The system enables you to move bulk material from one vessel to many, but also from many vessels to one. In addition, you can perform many-to-many movements.

12.2 Prerequisite

To create operations, you must first set up configured operations based on preconfigured base operations.

See Setting Up Configured Operations.

12.3 Entering Operation Header Information

This section provides an overview of operation header information and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Operation Header (P31B69).
Enter operation header information.

12.3.1 Understanding Operation Header Information

The operations that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system uses are based on operation configurations that you have created previously. Every time you enter a new operation, you must select a configured operation as the basis. This configured operation provides default values and controls the type of information that you can enter for the new operation.

The system provides several methods for creating operations. You can add individual blend operations from the Operation Search program (P31B94). You can also create operations for a list of vessels that you select using the Inventory by Vessel View program (P31B81). Finally, you can also create a work order and associate operations with the work order (P31B95).

You enter new operation information in two parts. In the operation header, you specify the configured operation code, the facility for which you create the operation. When you set up configured operations, you can define valid or invalid blend facilities for each configured operation. On the operation header, you also specify the operation workflow status. You must be set up with a valid address book number to be able to enter operation information. If you have implemented operation workflow security, the system validates the address book number in the Creator field against the security definition that you have set up in the Operation Security program (P31B922). If you do not have the appropriate permission for the configured operation, facility, and workflow status, you cannot enter the operation.

See Setting Up Operation Workflow Security.

The system enables you to reschedule operations after you create them and enter instructed start and end dates. To reschedule operations, you must select the Re-Schedule Operations option. The system does not display this option when you add or view an operation, but the option is available when you revise an existing operation. For operations with base operation REC, this option is selected by default. The system reschedules subsequent operations if you select the Re-Schedule Operations option and move the date of the operation forward. the system does not save the check box value.

To go on to operation details, you must save the operation header information. When you click the Continue button, the system saves and locks the header record and launches the Create/Edit Operation Detail program (P31B87).

12.3.2 Form Used to Enter Operation Header Information

Form Name	Form ID	Navigation	Usage
Operations Header	W31B69A	Blend Operations (G31B03), Operation Search Click the Add Blend Operation button on the Search for Operations form.	Enter operation header information.

12.3.3 Setting Processing Options for Operation Header (P31B69)

These processing options control default processing for the Operation Header program.

12.3.3.1 Default

These processing options control default values on the operation header.

1. Default Operation Status: Enter the default workflow status that you want to use when creating new operations. Select the workflow status that you want to use from the Configured Status Search & Select form.
2. Run Calculate Work Order Status (R31B19): Enter 1 to direct the system to automatically calculate the work order status when you add a work order. If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not run this batch process automatically.
3. Re-Schedule Operations Flag: Specify whether you want to select the Re-Schedule Operations option on the operation header by default.

12.3.3.2 Versions

These processing options control the versions that the system uses when the program calls other programs. The following table lists the programs in the order that they appear on the Versions tab, along with the default version. If you leave the processing options blank, the system uses this default version. You can define different versions in accordance with business processes.

1. Create/Edit Operation Detail (P31B87): ZJDE0001
2. Calculate Work Order Status (R31B19): XJDE0001

12.3.4 Entering Operation Header Information

Access the Operations Header form.

Figure 12-2 Operations Header form: General tab

Description of "Figure 12-2 Operations Header form: General tab"

Configured Operation: Enter the code of the configured operation that you want to use to create an operation.
Operation Status: Select the workflow status to which you want to set the operation. You must set up operation workflow statuses in the Workflow Status Mapping program (P31B74) to have them available for selection here. You can define multiple workflow statuses for each operation status. For example, you can define workflow statuses, such as Instructed, Scheduled, and Working for operation status Active. You can also set up workflow security for each operation workflow status.
Description: Enter a description for the operation you are creating.
Winery: If you set up a default location for the user ID, this field displays the default branch/plant that you set up for the user ID. If you create an operation for a work order, this field displays the facility that you entered for the work order. In either case, you can manually override the facility before saving the operation header information.
Creator: Displays the address book number of the person who enters the operation. You can override the value.
Work Order Number: Displays the work order number if the operation results from a work order; otherwise, this field is blank.
Operation Number: The system generates an operation number when you save the operation header information that you entered. It displays the sequential number based on facility. This value is blank when the operation is at Draft status, and only assigned when the operation is saved at a status greater than Draft. You cannot modify this value.

12.3.4.1 General

Select the General tab.

Instructed Start Date/Time

Enter the planned start date and time for the operation. The system provides the current date and time as the default value, but you can override it. If you do not enter a value here, but enter an instructed duration and an instructed end date, the system calculates the instructed start date by subtracting the value in the Instructed Duration field from the value in the Instructed End Date field.

Instructed End Date/Time

Enter the planned end date and time for the operation. If you do not enter a value here, but enter an instructed duration and an instructed start date, the system calculates the instructed start date by adding the value in the Instructed Duration field to the value in the Instructed Start Date field.

Instructed Duration

Enter the elapsed time. If you do not enter a value here, the system calculates the time by taking the difference between the value in the Instructed Start Date field and the value in the Instructed End Date field.

Actual Start Date/Time

Enter the actual start date and time for the operation, or the system enters the date. The system calculates this by subtracting the value in the Actual Duration field from the value in the Actual End Date field. This value is never blank because the system uses this value for sequencing operations with dependencies.

Actual End Date/Time

Enter the actual end date and time for the operation, or the system enters the date. The system calculates this by adding the value in the Actual Duration field to the value in the Actual Start Date field.

Actual Duration

Enter the duration, or the system enters the duration. The system calculates the difference between the Actual Start Date and Actual End Date fields.

Duration UOM (duration unit of measure)

Enter the duration unit of measure that applies to both instructed and actual duration. Values are:

Days

Hours

Minutes

Seconds

Re-Schedule Operations

Select to reschedule operations. This option is available only after you have already entered an operation. You reschedule operations by selecting this option and moving the date of an operation forward. The system recalculates the instructed started dates for subsequent operations. The system does not save the check box value.

This option is selected by default for operations with base operation type REC.

Instruction Method

Displays the instruction method that you specified for the configured operation. You can override this value by selecting another instruction method. The value in this field governs the From and To field values. This instruction method instructs the volume to move and is only available for movement operations. Use this field in conjunction with the Distribution Method field.

Values are:

From After: The total quantity remains in the From vessel after the movement is complete. If you select this value, the Instructed After Quantity field in the From Vessel grid is enabled.

From Move: The total quantity moves from the From vessel. If you select this value, the Instructed Move Quantity field in the From Vessel grid is enabled.

To After: The total quantity increases the volume in the To vessel. If you select this value, the Instructed After Quantity field in the To Vessel grid is enabled.

To Move: The total quantity moves into the To vessel. If you select this value, the Instructed Move Quantity field in the To Vessel grid is enabled.

Distribution Method

Displays the distribution method that you specified for the configured operation. You can override this value by selecting another 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 field is only available for movement operations.

Values are:

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 the system uses to determine the quantity from either the From or To vessels to allocate, and splits the quantity to be moved accordingly. Use the Movement Detail tab to override the percentages.

Move to Capacity: When you select this option, the system moves volume from the first From tank to the To tanks, based on capacity, and then moves volume for the next From tank to the next To tank with available capacity until all volume is moved from the From tanks to the To tanks. For example, if you have three From tanks and four To tanks, the system moves the volume from the first From tank to the first To tank until the first To tank is full. The system then moves volume (if any) from the first From tank to the second To tank until the second To tank is full. The system cycles through all of the From tanks, filling each To tank to capacity before beginning to fill the next To tank, until all volume is moved from the From tanks to the To tanks. If a To tank remains empty at the end of the move operation, the system does not generate a To tank record for the empty tank.

Blend to Capacity: When you select this option, the system combines the movement volume of the From tanks, then redistributes the blended volume to the To tanks based on capacity. If a To tank remains empty at the end of the move operation, the system does not generate a To tank record for the empty tank.

For example, suppose that you have:

Two From tanks with a volume of 500 gallons in each.
Four empty To tanks the each have a capacity of 600 gallons.

To distribute the combined volume of the From tanks, the system:

Sums the total volume of the From tanks (500 + 500 = 1000).

Fifty percent of the contribution of the total volume comes from each From tank. Note that you can have From tanks with different volumes to move, such as 400 gallons in one From tank, and 600 gallons in another From tank.
Fills the first To tank with 600 gallons, with 300 gallons moved from each of the From tanks.

The 600 gallons in the first To tank is a blended volume with an equal amount of the volume from each From tank.

The remaining volume to move is now 400 gallons; the original blended amount of 1000 gallons minus the 600 gallons moved to the first To tank.
Fills the second To tank with the remaining volume of 400 gallons, with 200 gallons moved from each of the From tanks.

The second To tank has a remaining capacity of 200 gallons.
Does not create records for moved volume for the third and fourth To tanks because no volume is moved to those tanks.

Perform After Measure

Displays the value that you specified for the configured operation. You can override this value. This value determines whether a vessel's contents should be measured after the operation is complete. Values are:

Do Not Measure: Actual measurements are not required.

Final Measure: Report final measure for each vessel.

Intermediate Measures: Report intermediate measures after each individual movement within the operation.

Perform Survey Measure

Displays the value that you specified for the configured operation. You can override this value. This value determines whether a vessel's contents should be measured before the operation begins.

Show Before Measures

Displays the value that you specified for the configured operation. You can override this value. This value determines whether the operator can see the measurement that is taken before the operation is completed.

12.3.4.2 Instructions

Select the Instructions tab.

On this tab, you can enter free-form text about the operation and attach additional information, such as images, OLEs, shortcuts, files, or URLs. Wine-makers, for example, typically use instructions to communicate detailed instructions for performing the operation. The system enters instructions if you created the operation using a template.

12.3.4.3 Comments

Select the Comments tab.

On this tab, you can enter free-form text about the operation and attach additional information, such as images, OLEs, shortcuts, files, or URLs. Operators typically use comments to communicate historical information about what happened while performing the operation.

12.3.4.4 Misc.

Select the Misc. (miscellaneous) tab.

Figure 12-3 Operations Header form: Misc. tab

Description of "Figure 12-3 Operations Header form: Misc. tab"

The system uses these fields for search and reference purposes. Note that the first category code field contains a hard-coded value and cannot be changed. The first category code is used to define the operation type and icon that is displayed in Operation Trace/Track.

Operation Category Code 1 through Operation Category Code 5

Enter category codes that the system uses for search and reference purposes.

When you enter an operation, the system automatically populates the first Operation Category Code field with the value from the base operation. This category code defines the operation type and determines the icon that is displayed on the Operation Trace/Track form.

Alternate Operation Number

Enter an alternate operation number, for example, as a reference to an external processor. The system does not validate this number.

Alternate Work Order

Enter an alternate work order number, for example as a reference to an external processor. The system does not validate this number

Trial Blend ID

Displays the trial blend ID, when you create an operation from a trial blend.

Composition Material Type

The system displays this field for configured operations that are based on WT, REC, and COMPMAT base operations. These base operations are set up to override the material type on all composition records. For WT and REC operations, the override is optional.

Enter the material type that you want to use to override the material type on composition records. When you close the COMPMAT operation, the system updates the composition material on all After lot composition records for the specified vessel type in the Lot Composition table (F31B311).

Continue

Click to continue to the Edit Operation Detail form. Once you click this button, you can no longer edit the fields on the operation header. If you have specified in the processing options for the Create/Edit Operation Detail program (P31B87) that you want to collapse the header on the form, the system displays the Edit Operation Detail form with the operation header collapsed.

If you have activated operation workflow security by defining a permission list type for the configured operation, the system validates the permission to create the operation at the specified status. If you do not have this permission, the system issues an error message, and you cannot complete the transaction.

12.4 Entering Operation Details

This section provides overviews of operation details and alternative blend IDs and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Create/Edit Operation Detail (P31B87).
Enter operation details.
Calculate move details.
Instruct resources.
Instruct equipment.
Instruct consumables.
Create consumable templates.
Use single vessel entry.
Enter one-to-one moves.

12.4.1 Understanding Operation Details

You can begin to enter operation details after you have committed the operation header information. For ease of use, the system presents the different parts of the Edit Operation Detail form based on the definition of the configured operation and on the processing option settings.

The definition of the configured operation determines the types of information that you can enter. For example, if you enter in-place or administrative operations, the system does not display the To vessel grid. If a configured operation is set up for instructing resources, equipment, and consumables, you can enter this information for the operation you are creating. Otherwise, all or some of these data entry grids do not appear on the form. For example, for portable tank relocations, you can enter resources, but no equipment or consumables. For operations that are defined as QA operations in the base configuration, such as weigh tags and bills of lading, the system displays the Quality information area, and you can enter quality test results.

Note:

One of the pieces of information that you can customize for configured operations is the title of the Edit Operation Detail form. If you define a form title that is specific to the configuration, the system displays this title when you launch the Edit Operation Detail form.

This implementation guide refers to this form by its generic title because the configuration-specific title is user defined.

Use the processing options to define which areas of the form are displayed by default and which appear collapsed. For example, you can specify that the operation header appears collapsed after you click the Continue button. You can also specify that areas of the Edit Operation Detail form appear collapsed by default even though you can open these areas when needed.

12.4.1.1 Instructing Vessels

Depending on the type of operation that you are creating, you need to enter From information and possibly To information for the vessels that you use in the operation. Vessel could be tanks, VBTs, bills of lading, weigh tags, or bottling vessels. For example, if you are creating an in-place operation, you only need to enter From information. However, if you are creating move operations, for example a tank-to-tank movement, you need to enter both From and To information.

When you create weigh tag and bill of lading operations, you must specify the material type. To calculate weight-to-volume and volume-to-weight operations correctly, you must specify the material type for the To vessel.

See Specifying Material Types.

As you enter VBTs, the system might resequence the list. To resequence the VBTs, click Customize Grid and create a customized view of the grid.

Note:

When you add a vessel in the process of entering an operation, the system reserves the vessel record to you. If you delete the vessel from the operation, the record remains reserved to you, and no one else can use it for another operation.

This continued record reservation allows for the possibility that you might cancel the deletion of the vessel and use the same vessel again. If the system had released the record reservation after you deleted the vessel from the operation, another user would be able to use the vessel, and you would no longer be able to.

12.4.1.2 Calculating Move Details

After you enter From and To information and instruct the system to calculate each movement, the system:

Sequences and displays each movement in the detail area below the Calculate Move button on the Edit Operation form.
Updates the From/To/Planned/Actuals/Gain/Loss section of the Edit Operation Detail form for each movement that you select in the detail area below the Calculate Move button.
Updates movement totals in the Operation Totals section of the Edit Operation Detail form.

When multiple movements exist, the system calculates totals as aggregates of all movement yields.

12.4.1.3 Resources

Resources are the staff members who operate the equipment that is used in the operation. You can associate staff or work groups with an operation and track the time spent working on the operation.

12.4.1.4 Equipment and Consumables

Instructing equipment enables you to specify the various pieces of equipment that are necessary to complete the operation. You must specify the facility to which the equipment belongs. The system validates that the equipment that you specify is compatible with the way that you have set up equipment (valid equipment versus invalid equipment) for the configured operation. The system also verifies that the equipment that you specify is located in the facility in which the operation is occurring. You can search for equipment by status.

Equipment for an operation can come from any valid facility. You can use one or multiple pieces of equipment for an operation. Use the Equipment Parameter field in the equipment attributes to enter specific comments regarding the use of a piece of equipment that is used in an operation.

Consumables are dry goods that are used by the equipment during its operation. An example of a consumable is a filter. You can add, change, or delete consumable items. Consumables use a fixed quantity. Specify the item, branch, location, lot, quantity, and unit of measure for each consumable that is used in an operation. You can use consumables from different branches, if necessary.

When you instruct equipment on an operation, the Consumables tab displays the consumables that you associated with the equipment in the Create Equipment Attributes program (P31B05).

You can save consumables information that you use frequently in a template format. You can save consumables information as a template when you enter consumables as part of an operation. You can also access the Consumable Templates program (P31B46) from the Blend Facility Setup menu.

12.4.1.5 Additional Form Options

The following table lists additional options that the Edit Operation form provides:

Option	Activity
Instruct Lot Attributes	Clicking this link accesses the Instruct Lot Attributes form when you revise lot attributes.
Validate Spec	If you have set up end-use reservations (EUR) specifications, the system validates the values that you enter for the operation against the specification automatically when you close the operation. You can also click this button to perform the validation.
Spec Details	Clicking this link accesses the Search For EUR Validation Results form, where you can review validation warnings and errors.

12.4.1.6 Single Vessel Entry

To further streamline data entry for operations, some base operations are set up to allow single vessel entry. You use single vessel entry to record operations in the system after they have already been performed, also known as after the fact operations.

The following base operations are set up for single vessel entry:

Operation Category	Base Operation Code	Description
Additive	ADDT	Tank Addition
	ADDB	Barrel Addition
In-place	TIP	Tank in Place
	BIP	Barrel in Place
	TLOC	Portable Tank Relocation
	BLOC	Barrel Relocation
	BTIP	Barrel Self Topping
QA	QA	QA Operation
Admin	ADJLOT	Adjust Lot Attributes
	ERROR	Error Correction
	ADJINV	Adjust Inventory
	VBTM	VBT Maintenance
	DECLOSS	Declared Loss
	COMPMAT	Composition Material Type

Note:

For in-place operations, you must also set the Simple Vessel Entry processing option. In addition, you can use the Single From Vessel area only when you add an operation. If you want to view or update an existing operation, the system displays information in the From Vessel grid and on the In-Place tab.

12.4.1.6.1 Lot Attributes for Single Vessel Entry

When you add or edit an in-place operation for a single vessel, you can override the values for the material type, wine status, and blend ID attributes for the After lot. You can override the values in the Single From Vessel subform (P31B67I) or in the Instruct Lot Attributes form. Before you can override these attributes, you must populate them with the default values by clicking the Instruct Lot Attributes button. After the default values exist, you can override the material type, wine status, and blend ID. The override that you enter on one form is saved to the database and appears on the other form when you access the other form. For example, if you enter override values on the Single From Vessel form, the new values appear on the Instruct Lot Attributes when you next access that form.

To enable entry to the Wine Status, Material Type, and Blend ID fields for the After lot, select the check box next to the fields.

12.4.1.7 One-To-One Move

You can instruct a move with only one To and one From vessel. In this case, the system displays the One to One Move form if the processing option for the version is set for simple vessel entry. The base operation has to allow simple vessel entry. You can use the One-to-One move form only when you add an operation. To revise an existing move operation, you use the standard move detail form.

You can perform one-to-one movements for the following operations:

Tank to tank.
Tank to barrel.
Barrel to barrel.
Top barrel from tank.
Top barrel from barrel.
Barrel to tank.
Tank to container.
Container to tank.

12.4.2 Understanding Alternative Blend IDs

You can use the Blend ID Method To field in the Edit Operation Configuration form of the Setup Configured Operations program (P31B75P) to set up a rule that specifies how the system copies the blend ID for the After To lot. The system uses the blend rule to copy the blend ID to subsequent lots when you perform certain blend operations. The system uses the same blend rule from the Setup Configured Operations program to copy the alternative blend ID, if one exists, to subsequent lots when you perform a move operation. Because the alternative blend ID is user-defined instead of system generated, the system uses the blend rules differently for the alternative blend ID than it does for the blend ID.

This table describes how the system copies the blend ID and alternative blend ID from lot to lot based on the blend rules that exist for the configured operation:

Blend ID Method To	Copy Blend ID	Copy Alternative Blend ID
Copy After From Before	The system copies the blend ID from the Before lots to the After lots.	The system copies the alternative blend ID from the Before lots to the After lots.
No Default	The system does not copy the alternative blend ID to the After lots.	The system does not copy the alternative blend ID to the After lots.
Generate New	The system generates a new blend ID based on the rules that you set up in the Setup Blend ID program (P31B50).	Not applicable. Because the alternative blend ID is user-defined, the system does not generate a new alternative blend ID when you perform a move operation.
Largest contributing lot	The system copies the blend ID from the Before lot from which the largest quantity is moved or retained.	The system copies the alternative blend ID from the Before lot from which the largest quantity is moved or retained. Refer to the examples in this section for details about how the system copies the alternative blend ID when the largest contributing lot is a From vessel, a To vessel, or both a From and To vessel contribute the same largest quantity.

Note:

You can manually enter an alternative blend ID to override the value that the system copies from one lot to another. Access the Instruct Lot Attributes form to manually enter or change the alternative blend ID. If you manually enter an alternative blend ID for the after lot before you perform the move operation, the system does not copy the alternative blend ID from the before lot. Instead, the system retains the manually entered value.

12.4.2.1 Example 1: Largest Contributing Lot is a From Vessel

Suppose that you want to move quantities from vessels 1 and 2 to vessel 3. Vessel 1 has 1000 liters, vessel 2 has 2000 liters, and vessel 3 has 1000 liters. If you move 100 liters from vessel 1 and 1500 liters from vessel 2 to vessel 3, the largest contributor to the after lot in Vessel 3 is the 1500 liters moved from vessel 2. In this example the system copies the alternative blend ID from the before vessel 2 to the after vessel 3.

This table shows the before, contributing, and after amounts, and the alternative blend IDs when the largest contributing lot is from a From vessel:

Vessel	Before Amount	Before Alternative Blend ID	Contributing Amount	After Amount	After Alternative Blend ID
1 (From)	1000	ABC	100	900	ABC
2 (From)	2000	XYZ	1500	500	XYZ
3 (To)	1000	DEF	1000	2600 (total of the contributing amounts)	XYZ

12.4.2.2 Example 2: Largest Contributing Lot is a To Vessel

Suppose that you want to move quantities from vessels 1 and 2 to vessel 3. Vessel 1 has 1000 liters, vessel 2 has 2000 liters, and vessel 3 has 1000 liters. If you move 100 liters from vessel 1 and 200 liters from vessel 2 to vessel 3, the largest contributor to the after lot in vessel 3 is the 1000 liters that are in the before vessel 3. In this example the system copies the alternative blend ID from the before vessel 3 to the after vessel 3.

This table shows the before, contributing, and after amounts, and the alternative blend IDs when the largest contributing lot is the existing amount in the To vessel:

Vessel	Before Amount	Before Alternative Blend ID	Contributing Amount	After Amount	After Alternative Blend ID
1 (From)	1000	ABC	100	900	ABC
2 (From)	2000	XYZ	200	1800	XYZ
3 (To)	1000	DEF	1000	1300 (total of the contributing amounts)	DEF

12.4.2.3 Example 3: Largest Contributing Lot is a Tie Between a From and a To Vessel

Suppose that you want to move quantities from vessels 1 and 2 to Vessel 3. Vessel 1 has 1000 liters, vessel 2 has 2000 liters, and vessel 3 has 1000 liters. If you move 100 liters from vessel 1 and 1000 liters from vessel 2 to vessel 3, both vessel 2 and vessel 3 contribute the same amount (1000 liters) to the vessel 3 after lot. If both a From and To vessel contributes the same largest amount, the system copies the alternative blend ID of the existing To vessel, which in this example is vessel 3.

Note:

No specific logic exists to evaluate which alternative blend ID to copy when more than one From vessel contributes the same largest amount. In this situation, the system copies the alternative blend ID from the first From vessel that it locates.

12.5 Entering Bulk Receipt Operations

This section provides an overview of bulk receipt operations and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Bill of Lading (P31B91).
Create bills of lading.

12.5.1 Understanding Bulk Receipt Operations

You can receive bulk material into facility using two different methods. You can create a weigh tag, or you can receive bulk material using a bill of lading.

Weigh tag receipt operations involve the receipt of a blend lot of grapes from grower blocks to a weigh tag. Weigh tag details are inherited from the block. You can override the weigh tag details.

Weigh tag receipts are grower operations and are set up, entered, and managed through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system.

See ”Entering Farms, Blocks, and Harvests” in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Grower Management Implementation Guide and ”Managing Harvest Receipts” in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Grower Management Implementation Guide.

For the purpose of receiving bulk material from sources within and external to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system, the system provides a number of base operations that you use to create configured operations. You can create configured receiving operations based on the following base operations:

Base Operation Code	Description
REC	Receive Wine
R2T	Receive to Tank
RECTRANS	Receive transferred wine
RECFULLTNK	Receive full tank
RECFULLVBT	Receive full barrel

For receiving operations, the From vessel class on the base operation is defined as the bill of lading. The bill of lading records the attributes of the material being shipped (primarily the composition details), but may also report the style, accumulated additives, and quality results. The bill of lading document number is generated by the system when the operation is updated to an active status.

You can record survey losses on bill of lading vessels as defined in the configured operation.

12.5.1.1 Receipt Bill of Lading

External receipt operations involve the receipt of bulk material from a third party that is not managed within the facility. Bulk material, such as juice or wine, is moved from a transport tanker to vessels, such as barrels or tanks. After the receipt operation, a receive-to-tank operation must take place to move the contents of the bill of lading vessel into a tank.

To create a purchase order and receipt for a bill of lading automatically, you set a processing option for the Bill Lading program (P31B91). The system creates the purchase order and receipt when you close the bill of lading operation. The receipt to inventory is linked to the bill of lading.

When the system creates the purchase order, the purchase order is automatically linked to the bill of lading and will always be used for that bill of lading. For example, if an error occurs while the system is creating the receipt, the purchase order remains linked to the bill of lading. The system updates the bill of lading with the purchase and receipt information.

If you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system, the purchase order and receipt information provide the link between the bill of lading and a contract. You cannot link a contract directly to a bill of lading.

If you do not want the system to create purchase orders automatically, you can create a purchase order for the bill of lading manually. A receiving bill of lading operation:

Increases blend inventory by the amount received. ERP inventory is decreased for the item that is cross-referenced with the material type on the bill of lading vessel.
Enters the lot details from the bill of lading of the received bulk material.
Records a survey or operational loss that is associated with the To tank.
Uses a user-defined weight factor to calculate liquid volume.

When you receive bulk material, you can receive only one lot per bill of lading. For tracking purposes, you can select an existing, virtual, or imaginary lot as the default for the lot attributes on the bill of lading. You use the Inventory by Vessel View program (P31B81) to create a virtual lot for the bill of lading by copying an existing lot or creating a new virtual lot.

You can enter composition details for the bill of lading only when you first enter the operation. If you want to change composition details for the bill of lading receipt operation later, you cannot make those changes on the Edit Bill of Lading Details form because the Composition grid can no longer be edited. Instead, you can change composition details on the Instruct Lot Attributes form.

To create the bill of lading's After lot by using a copy of an existing lot, you set a processing option for the Bill Lading program (P31B91). If you copy lot attributes to the bill of lading using a virtual lot, you do not enter EUR and composition information for the bill of lading. The system creates a new After lot for the bill of lading and copies the lot details from the virtual lot that you associate with the bill of lading. The virtual lot number appears on the bill of lading header as a reference to the origin of the lot details but serves no other purpose.

12.5.1.2 Receive To Tank

This operation involves the movement of a bulk material from a bill of lading to a vessel. Bulk material, such as wine or juice, is moved from a transport tanker to vessels such as barrels or tanks.

A receive bulk material internal operation:

Retains the blend lot details from the bill of lading of the received bulk material.

This operation is used only to get the bulk material from the bill of lading vessel operation into a tank.
Records a survey or operational loss associated with the To Tank.
Uses a user-defined weight factor to calculate liquid volume.

12.5.1.3 Receive Full Tanks and Barrels

Receiving full tanks or barrels involves the receipt of bulk material in full vessels, such as barrels or portable tanks from another facility, or from a third party within the facility for specialized processing.

A receive full vessels internal operation:

Inherits the blend lot details of the received bulk material.
Increases inventory by the amount received. Inventory is decreased for the item that is cross-referenced with the material type on the bill of lading vessel.
Retains the blend lot details from the bill of lading of the received bulk material from the associated ship operation.
Updates the associated vessel master record so that the vessel is in the new facility.

Once a ship operation is closed, the tank status is updated to Not In Branch in the shipping facility. When the receive operation is closed, the tank status in the receiving facility is updated to Active. ERP inventory is decreased for the item that is cross-referenced with the material type on the bill of lading vessel.

12.5.1.4 Receive Transfer

You only use the receive transfer internally (for example, within blend facilities) and in conjunction with a transfer operation. When you use the receive-transfer operation, you do not use a receive-to-tank operation. Additionally, you cannot enter the composition details on the bill of lading; the composition details are inherited from the lot in the transfer operation.

12.5.1.5 Crush

Crush operations move bulk material from a weigh tag created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system to a blend tank. The crush process can result in a change of material type. For example, you can take grapes from a weigh tag, crush them, and place the resulting juice in a tank. The following table describes different types of crush operations:

Activity	Description
Direct to tank	Grapes (usually red or blush) are crushed, and the must (skins, seeds, and juice) is conveyed directly to a tank.
Direct to press	Grapes (usually white) are crushed and conveyed directly to a press, where the juice is separated from the skins and seeds.
Whole berry	Grapes are conveyed directly to a tank with minimal crushing, allowing for a specified percent of the cluster to remain mechanically uncrushed.
Crush with culling and sorting	Fruit is sorted into multiple blend lots and some of the fruit is culled or scrapped.

Crush operations may be created and included on the same jobs as weigh tags, or they may be assigned to separate jobs. For white grapes, typically, weigh tag, crush, drain, press, and additive operations are all on the same job.

Important:

For crush operations to work correctly, you must complete a number of setup steps in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management and in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management.

You must set up the following information:

Set up weigh tag and crush operations with weight as the unit of measure type for the From material type.
Define the weight unit of measure in the facility constants to match the weight unit of measure on the grower harvest.

12.6 Entering Tank Operations

This section provides an overview of tank operations and discusses how to:

Enter tank-to-tank movement operations.
Enter tank-in-place operations.

12.6.1 Understanding Tank Operations

Several types of tank operations exist that involve the movement of wine or juice as well as in-place operations that you use during the blend process.

12.6.1.1 Drain Grapes

Drain and press operations usually follow the crush operation in a rapid succession.

During a drain operation, liquid is drained off (free run) and the material type is changed from must to juice. You can take After measures for the juice, and the unit of measure changes weight to volume, such as liters or gallons. An initial free run operational yield can be calculated at this time.

The volume of drained juice is then moved into a To vessel.

12.6.1.2 Press Grapes

Following the drain operation, the remaining must is pressed. There are two basic types of press operations:

Press Instructed By Equipment

Separate juice or wine from grape pulp and seeds using a piece of equipment called Press. The operator determines the pressure or the operation creator instructs the pressure.
Press Instructed By Bar Pressure

Bar pressure is the measure of pressure that is applied when the press is used, for example, 1/4 bar or 1/2 bar. The pressure is preconfigured.

12.6.1.3 Tank-to-Tank Movement

There are several types of tank-to-tank movement operations:

Blending

Blend lots together to achieve a specific mix.
Racking

Juice or wine is moved from one tank to another, leaving some material, or lees, behind.
Movement

Bulk material is moved from one or more tanks into one or more tanks, a process that can include combining blend lots.
Filter/Centrifuge

A filter/centrifuge operation is the process of clarifying wine or juice using a piece of equipment, such as a filter or a centrifuge. This operation requires the movement of juice or wine from one or more From vessels to one or more To vessels using filtering equipment. The filter/centrifuge operation can be performed in between most operations

12.6.1.4 Unknown Vessels

Unknown vessels are created by the system with vessel class T (tank). Unknown vessel numbers are generated using next numbers. They are stored in the Unknown Vessel Master table (F31B103).Unknown vessels have an infinite capacity. You can define an unknown vessel for operations that are in Draft, Planned, or Active status. The preceding operation that fills the unknown vessel has to be at status Active, Actual, or Closed. If both the filling operation and the new operation are in the same work order, the status of the preceding operation can also be Draft or Planned.

After you have replaced an unknown vessel with an actual vessel in an operation, the system performs the following updates:

The operation is removed from the dependency chain of the unknown vessel and added to the dependency chain of the actual tank.
The system recalculates the downstream operations in both dependency chains.

The unknown vessel is not automatically replaced during this process. You can do so manually in the Create/Edit Operation Detail program (P31B87). To replace an unknown vessel with an actual vessel, you can access the Rename Vessels program (P31B67N).

Unknown vessels can be reused as long as they are not closed.

12.6.1.5 Tank-in-Place

There are several types of tank-in-place operations:

Temperature management

Temperature management, such as heat, chill, and heat exchange, is used to obtain optimum fermentation for fining or to maintain stability.
Cap management

Caps, for example, pump over, punch down, aerate, and tub and screen, are formed in a red fermentation vessel by the separation of the floating grape skins from the juice. Cap management involves the mixing of the cap and the juice to increase the skin exposure.
Stabilization

Use stabilization, for example, heat, cold, or pasteurize, to ensure that sediment does not drop out of the bulk material if it becomes subjected to unusual heat or cold during the transport, storage process, or in the bottle.
Mix

Use equipment such as a propeller or pump to mix juice or wine in a tank.
Tank Relocation

Tanks, portable vessels, puncheons, casks and bins may need to be moved from one location to another within a facility. Relocation can occur during any operation or as a separate operation.

12.6.1.6 Validating Tank Capacity

Based on the value in the Fermentation Flag field that you enter in the Material Type Revisions program (P31B04) and the tank capacity information that you enter in the Tank Master program (P31B08), the system validates that volumes that you enter for tank operations against the specified capacity.

When you enter a tank operation with a fermenting material type, the system compares the planned volume with the white fermentation capacity of the tank. If the volume exceeds the capacity, the system issues a warning that the value exceeds the tank's fermentation capacity.

When you enter a tank operation with a non-fermenting material type, the system compares the planned volume with the storage capacity of the tank, If the volume exceeds the capacity, the system issues a warning that the value exceeds the tank's storage capacity.

The system validates the To After and the From After planned volume only if no To After or From After actual values have been entered. As long as the operation is not closed, the system issues only warnings if the capacity is exceeded. When you try to close an operation with tank capacity exceeded, the system issues an error.

When you exceed tank capacity by entering actual values, the system always issues an error. The system does not save the value when you click the Calculate Move button or when you switch between vessel-to-vessel lines. When you use the Speed Actuals Update program (P31B67) to enter actual values, the system does not save the volumes that exceed capacity when you switch between operations. The same rules apply when you enter one-to-one moves and exceed tank capacity.

If you enter in-place tank operations, you also receive warnings for planned volumes that exceed capacity and errors when you try to close an operation or enter actual volumes that exceed capacity.

12.7 Entering Barrel Operations

This section provides an overview of barrel operations and discusses how to:

Enter barrel move operations.
Enter VBT movement details.
Enter barrel in-place operations.

12.7.1 Understanding Barrel Operations

A VBT is the grouping of barrels to form a single entity that contains a single blend lot for oak operations. A VBT makes it easier to inquire, order and instruct work, record work performed, and finalize work results.

The barrels within a VBT might have similar attributes. Attributes of the individual barrels are accumulated and applied to the blend. The aggregate styles reflect the barrels that are contained in the VBT. For example, a group of five American Oak Barrels and 15 French Oak Barrels have a style of 75 percent French Oak and 25 percent American Oak. The collective attributes of a VBT affect the blend like a tank or other single vessel.

Cellar operations can be conducted for the entire VBT. If an operation is performed on only some of the barrels in the VBT, then these barrels can be separated and a new VBT created. The VBT number and the individual barrel numbers or barrel collection numbers are recorded against the cellar operation. Limited information is recorded against each barrel.

You can create a VBT and apply it at any time in the life of the barrel. A VBT can be created or changed as a separate operation or as part of another operation, for example, a rack and return or a barrel fill.

The creation of a VBT and the addition or removal of barrels from a VBT are typically part of other barrel operations, and are not usually performed as an independent operation. The splitting or merging of VBTs is also generally performed as an independent operation.

12.7.1.1 VBT Movement Details

You must enter values in the Capacity Type and VBT Type fields in the To Vessel area before you create a new VBT. You can dynamically generate a new VBT if the To Vessel is a VBT.

You can add or remove barrels from the VBT, which increases or reduces the aggregated volume of the VBT and might change the summary attributes. If the barrels that are added to a VBT contain blends, then the two blend lots will be mixed according to the standard blending rules.

When you add a barrel to a VBT, the barrel is by default considered full, but you can empty the barrel as part of an operation. When you empty a barrel that belongs to a VBT, the barrel remains in the VBT with a quantity of zero and a barrel volume status of Empty. When you close an operation, the system updates location and rack for all barrels, including empty barrels. You can update the location and rack for the empty barrel. In this case, the system deletes the barrel from the From VBT details and adds it to the To VBT detail.

When you empty a barrel in an operation, the system displays the empty barrel in the VBT for the After lot. However, if you use the same VBT that includes an empty barrel in a subsequent operation, the system does not copy the empty barrel to the After lot for that VBT and operation.

You can refill empty barrels, but only if they are not associated with a new VBT.

Note:

You can view empty barrels using the Barrel Inquiry program (P31B03E) by filtering barrel records on the barrel volume status.

12.7.1.2 Barrel Fill

A barrel fill operation is the process by which bulk material is filled to specific barrels. The barrels are filled to capacity (either fermenting or nonfermenting). There are several types of barrel fill operations:

Barrel ferment fill

Fill barrels to a specific partial capacity with unfermented juice in order to conduct alcoholic or malolactic fermentation in the barrel. Barrels are filled partially to allow room for fermentation.
Fill with bulk material

Fill barrels to complete capacity with bulk material for aging or storage.
Drain to barrel

Juice that has finished fermentation in a tank (usually red) is drained from a tank or press by gravity and put into barrels to age.

12.7.1.3 Barrel-to-Barrel

Barrel-to-barrel operations can include:

Barrel-to-barrel rack

The barrel is racked removing the clear bulk material to a temporary tank, leaving the lees in the barrel. The lees are removed from the barrel to another vessel. Barrels in a VBT may change as the bulk material is moved from barrel to barrel, and the total volume decreases when the lees are removed.
Rack and back

The barrel is racked removing the clear bulk material to a temporary tank, leaving the lees in the barrel. The lees are removed from the barrel to another vessel. The bulk material in the temporary tank is returned to the same barrels.
VBT Maintenance

The barrel is racked removing the clear bulk material to a temporary tank, leaving the lees in the barrel. The lees are removed from the barrel to another vessel. The bulk material in the temporary tank is returned to the same barrels.
Split

Split an existing VBT into two or more VBTs, resulting in new blend lots.
Merge

Merge two or more VBTs into a single VBT.
Add barrels to a VBT

Increase the capacity of an existing VBT by adding barrels, resulting in a new blend lot.

12.7.1.4 Barrel-to-Tank

A barrel empty operation is the process by which juice or wine is removed from barrels and moved to a tank. Once the barrels are emptied, they can be washed by various treatments. The empty and washed barrels are then either returned to a location as an empty barrel or filled with juice or wine.

There are several types of barrel empty operations:

Sump out

Barrels are drained by a sump using gravity and emptied.
Pump out

Barrels are drained by a pump and emptied.
Empty on line

Barrels are moved to a barrel line where they are emptied. This is typically followed immediately by a wash and refill in line.

12.7.1.5 Top Barrel-to-Barrel and Top Tank-to-Barrel

Wine, for example, slowly evaporates from each barrel. To maintain quality, barrels should not have a head space exposing the wine to oxygen. Topping is used to eliminate the head space. Topping is generally a recurring operation, for example, every 30 days. The performance of a topping generates the due date for the next topping. Topping may affect any attributes of the wine.

There are three basic types of top barrel-from-barrel operations:

Self topping

The wine used for topping comes from the same VBT as the wine being topped.
Barrel ferment top from barrel

This is typically done in conjunction with a sulfur addition simultaneously to stop fermentation. The addition is done as a separate operation after the topping operation, where the capacity is usually around 85 to 90 percent. A loss is not recorded.
Barrel-to-barrel top

Barrels may be topped with wine from another barrel.

Topping operations can result in a change of material type based on the configured operation. A change in material type can change the capacity type from fermenting to nonfermenting and vice versa. The system searches for material type information in the following order:

Configured operation
Before lot
VBT header

Based on the capacity type, the system recalculates the total volume for the VBT.

When you create a new VBT, the system retrieves the capacity type based on the To After material type that is defined in the configured operation. When you use an existing VBT, the system compares the capacity type of the existing VBT with the capacity type of the From and To After material type. If they are different, the system recalculates the total capacity of the VBT based on the new capacity type and replaces the capacity type of the existing VBT with the new capacity type.

12.7.1.6 Barrel In-Place

Barrel stirring involves the mixing of wine in a barrel with the lees that may have settled to the bottom of the barrel. Sometimes barrels are topped at the same time as they are stirred. Barrel stirring can be performed using a manual or a powered stirring device. Barrel stirring is generally a recurring operation, for example, every 30 days.

There are two basic types of barrel in-place operations:

Barrel stir

The mixing of wine in a barrel with the lees that may have settled to the bottom of the barrel.
Batonage stir

Barrel stirring where wine is left on lees and stirred weekly.
Barrel relocation

Many operations involve the physical movement of a number of barrels from a storage location to a work area where the operation is performed. The barrels are then returned to the same or a different storage location. The locate vessels operation can be an integral part of other operations, or can be performed as an independent operation.

12.7.1.7 Renaming VBTs

You can rename a VBT by accessing the Rename Vessels program (P31B67N) from the Edit Operation Detail form. You can also rename a VBT by using the Rename VBT button on the VBT Move Details form. You cannot reuse a VBT name that already exists in the system.

12.7.1.8 Generating Actuals for VBTs

'To enter actual values for a barrel in-place operation, you can use the Generate VBT Actuals option in the Single From Vessel area of the Edit Operation Detail form. You do not need to access the VBT Movement Details form to add actuals, that is, barrels, except in the case of empty VBT in-place operations. In this case, you have to add barrels manually.

If you close a barrel in-place operation without assigning actual values, the system obtains actual values by copying the barrels from the Before lot to the After lot. The previous VBT operation must contain actuals.

To enter actual values for a chain of successive in-place VBT operations, use the Speed Actuals Update program (P31B67).

12.8 Entering Sparkling Operations

This section provides an overview of sparkling operations, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to enter sparkling operations.

12.8.1 Understanding Sparkling Operations

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system provides sparkling operations specialized processes and steps in the blend process. For example, you would use sparkling operations when producing champagne.

Sparkling operations require four base operations that use containers. Sparkling operations can also use base operations that are set up for other vessels, but allow a change of vessel class. You use the following base operations for sparkling operations:

T2C (Tank to container)
C2T (Container to tank)
CIP (Container in place)
ADDC (Container addition)

Sparkling operations using containers operate similarly to VBT operations. When you enter sparkling operations, you use a virtual container tank (VCT) for the From or To vessel. The To or From vessel grid reflects the use of containers by displaying VCT Number as the column header in the To or From Vessel grid. The area on the form that displays the results of the move calculation indicates the number of containers that the system calculates for the VCT.

When you enter a tank-to-container operation, you can use the Generate VCT check box to generate a new vessel number if no vessel number exists for the line. After calculating the number of containers that are required to receive the move quantity, you access the VCT Movement Details form to select and associate the containers with the VCT.

When you move bulk material from containers back to tanks, you use the Empty Container Into Tank option on the VCT Movement Details form to remove the bulk material from the containers and fill the designated tank or tanks.

For container-in-place operations, you can use the Single Vessel form. In this case, you access the VCT Movement Details form using the drop-down list menu in Action field. Container in-place operations are used for riddling operation. Riddling is the process of turning bottles to ensure that the sugar and yeast have settled. To add additives to bulk material in a container, you use the Single Vessel form as well.

In addition to the operations discussed so far, you can also perform QA operations and the following administrative operations that are set up to allow an override of the vessel class:

ADJLOT - Adjust lot attributes.
ADJINV - Adjust inventory.
COMPMAT - Composition material type.
DECLOSS - Declared loss.
ERROR - Error correction.

12.8.1.1 Renaming VCTs

You can rename a VCT by accessing the Rename Vessels program (P31B67N) from the Edit Operation Detail form. You can also rename a VCT by using the Rename VCT button on the VCT Movement Details form. You cannot reuse a VCT name that already exists in the system.

12.8.1.2 Generating Actuals for VCTs

'To enter actual values for a VCT in-place operation, you can use the Generate VCT Actuals option in the Single From Vessel area of the Edit Operation Detail form. You do not need to access the VCT Movement Details form to add actuals, that is, barrels, except in the case of empty VCT in-place operations. In this case, you have to add barrels manually.

If you close a VCT in-place operation without assigning actual values, the system obtains actual values by copying the containers from the Before lot to the After lot.

12.8.2 Prerequisites

12.10 Managing Spirit Operations

This section provides an overview of spirit operations, lists prerequisites, and lists forms used to manage spirit operations.

12.10.1 Understanding Spirit Operations

In contrast to wine, spirits have a much higher alcohol content. Because of their high alcohol content, spirits have legal reporting requirements. The producer is required to track measured, adjusted, and absolute volumes. Spirit volumes are reported as proof gallons in the United States or as litres absolute alcohol (LAL) in Australia. This value is used to calculate taxes and duties on alcohol. Spirits can be blended with each other, but they can also be blended with wine in a process called fortification.

For spirit operations, the system does not provide special base operations. However, you must set up separate configured operations for spirit operations, such as configured tank-to-tank, shipping, receiving, and transfer operations. When you set up configured spirit operations, you must specify a To After material type. For tank-to-tank operations, for example, this setting is important because it indicates whether you are using the operation to move a spirit into a spirit vessel or into a vessel containing wine. You can move spirits into vessels that contain blend lots with a non-spirit material type, and vice versa.

For any operation that involves spirits, you must ensure that the Perform Survey Measure check box on the Operation Header form is selected. The selection for the Perform After Measure field cannot be Do Not Measure.

When you enter a bill of lading for spirits, you must enter an EUR, but you do not have to enter composition information.

Note:

You do not specify a To After material type for bill of lading operations involving spirits.

For configured spirit operations that move spirits into a vessel containing wine, you also select the Fortification option. This setting enables the system to retrieve fortification operations for the Fortification report (R31B70).

To perform spirit operations, you must select vessels that are approved for spirits. To approve a tank for spirits, you select the Spirit Approved option when you set up the tank in the Tank Master program (P31B08).

When you select a vessel containing spirits, the Temperature, Temperature Unit of Measure, and Gauging Document Number fields are enabled. You must enter a temperature and unit of measure when you enter actuals for a spirit operation. The system uses the temperature unit of measure that you set up in the facility constants as the default value for the operation.

For in-place operations, the system displays temperatures on the In Place tab for the From vessel containing spirits. For move operations, the system displays temperatures on the Move Details tab for the From and To vessels that contain spirits. When you fortify wine, the system displays temperatures on the Move Detail tab for the From vessel.

If you use single vessel entry, the system displays the temperature, unit of measure, and gauging document number in the Single Before Vessel area of the form as well.

For external receiving operations, you enter the temperature, unit of measure, and gauging document number on the Bill of Lading Details form. You record only one temperature per bill of lading. The system uses the temperature that you enter as the default temperature for the After lot. You can enter the temperature on the bill of lading only for an external receipt of spirits. If you create a receiving operation for a transfer between blend facilities, you cannot enter a temperature. The system automatically displays volumes at standard temperature. For any other bill of lading operations involving spirits, the bill of lading header does not display the temperature, temperature unit of measure, and gauging document number.

You must enter a gauging document number for any To or From vessel that contains a spirit. The system does not generate this number; you must enter it manually before closing an operation. The system stores the gauging document number in the Operation Vessel Assignments table (F31B70).

Because the volume of alcohol fluctuates when the ambient temperature changes, you have to measure and enter the ambient temperature for each spirit operation and vessel. You typically enter temperatures at the same time as actual quantities and dips. You must have entered the ambient temperature when entering actuals for a spirit operation. If you enter an actual dip or move value for a vessel containing spirits, but no temperature, the system issues an error message.

To close an operation that uses a vessel containing a spirit, you must enter actual values for each vessel containing a spirit; otherwise, the system issues an error message. If the From vessel contains a spirit, you must enter an actual From After value. If the To vessel contains a spirit, you must enter an actual To After value. To close a spirit operation, each vessel containing a spirit must have a gauging document number.

The system displays the actual volumes for all volumes at ambient temperature. The only exception is the bill of lading, which displays spirit volumes at standard temperature.

Based on the temperature conversion chart that you set up for a spirit material type, the system calculates volume adjustments for the standard temperature of the type of spirit. The system displays all lot and planned volumes at standard temperature, for example on the Instruct Lot Attributes form and the View Wine Lots form. EUR and compositions calculations are based on the spirit volume after the conversion to standard temperature.

Depending on the setup in the facility constants, the system calculates and displays spirit volume either as alcohol volume or as proof volume on the Instruct Lot Attributes form and the View Wine Lot Details form. The system does not calculate spirit volumes if you did not set up a QA alcohol attribute in the winery constants. If no QA alcohol results exist for an operation and a vessel, the system does not calculate the spirit volume.

To calculate spirit volumes at standard temperatures, the system needs an alcohol percentage to retrieve the correct conversion rate from the temperature conversion chart. The system assumes that the QA alcohol percentage of the From After lot cannot change or be different from the QA alcohol percentage of the From Before lot. Because the QA alcohol percentage of the To After lot is unknown if the To vessel already contains a spirit, the system uses the QA alcohol percentage of the To Before lot to determine which temperature conversion rate to use for calculating the actual volume at standard temperature.

Note:

If you enter an ambient temperature that falls above or below the range of temperatures for which you have set up conversions, the system issues an error message because it cannot perform the conversion.

If the To vessel is empty or does not have a QA alcohol attribute, the system uses the QA alcohol percentage of the From Before lot to determine the temperature conversion rate. Normally, the system uses the QA blending rules to determine the QA alcohol percentage of the To After lot. However, because the typical QA alcohol blending rule is AVERG, the system cannot use this blended value to calculate the spirit volume of the To After lot when the To vessel was empty.

12.10.1.1 Temperature Conversion Rate

To retrieve the correct temperature conversion rate, you must have an alcohol QA result name for the lot that is applicable to the actual value. For To After actuals, the system searches for results first on the To After lot, then the To Before lot, and finally the From Before lot. If the system encounters a For To Before actuals, the system uses the To Before lot. For any From actuals, the system searches the From Before lot for test results.

If the temperature conversion rate is 1.0, the system was not able to locate a QA test result or you did not define the correct QA test result name for the operation.

The system may also retrieve a temperature conversion rate of 1.0 if the value for the actual measure or volume is 0. In this case, the system does not perform a conversion because 0 does not change regardless of what conversion factor might be applied.

12.10.2 Prerequisites

To manage spirit operations, you must:

Define a default value for spirit volumes and enter an alcohol QA attribute value and unit of measure in the winery constants.
Set up spirit material types in the Material Type Master table (F31B04).
Set up temperature conversion charts and attach them to the spirit material types that you use.
Set up tanks as approved for spirits in the Tank Master table (F31B08).
Set up configured operations for spirits.
Select the fortification option for configured operations that are used to add spirit to wine.

12.11 Managing Empty Vessel Operations

This section provides an overview of empty vessel operations and discusses how to:

Enter in-place operations with empty vessels.
Enter transfer operations for empty vessels.

12.11.1 Understanding Empty Vessel Operations

The system enables you to perform operations using empty vessels. You can transfer empty tanks or VBTs to another facility or perform an in-place operation on empty vessels for maintenance purposes.

You can perform four types of empty vessel operations:

Base Operation	Description
TRANSMTTNK	Transfer Empty Tank
TRANSMTVBT	Transfer Empty VBT
TANKMT	Empty Tank in Place
VBTMT	Empty VBT in Place

For each empty vessel operation, the Empty option on the base operation definition is selected.

Empty vessel operations can have only one From vessel (tank or VBT).

12.11.1.1 Empty Vessel Transfer

Transferring empty vessels consists of physically moving an empty tank or VBT from one internal facility to another. You can only use this operation within a company, but not to move the vessel to a third-party location.

When you create an empty vessel transfer, you must specify either a VBT or a tank as the From vessel. These vessels must be empty. You cannot use unknown vessels. The system does not create bill of lading vessels during an empty vessel transfer. If the From vessel is a tank, the system verifies whether the tank is defined as moveable in the Tank Master table (F31B08). If that is not the case, you cannot perform an empty vessel transfer using the tank.

When you create an empty vessel transfer, you specify a new location and a receiving facility for the empty vessel. If the From Vessel is a tank and this tank does not exist in the receiving facility, the system creates a new record in the F31B08 table for the tank and facility at a status of N (not in branch). The status of the tank in the shipping facility remains at A (active). When you move the operation to a Closed status, the system changes the status of the tank in the shipping facility to N and the status of the tank in the receiving facility to A. As long as tanks are at status N (not in branch), you cannot use them in another operation. You must close the transfer operation first to be able to use the empty tank in another operation.

For transfers of empty VBTs, you must create a new VBT. You add barrels to the VBT by accessing the VBT Movement Details program (P31B66). You can only use barrels with a volume status of Empty. If you move the transfer operation to a Closed status, the system changes the facility on the barrel master record from the shipping to the receiving facility. You can update locations and racks for the barrels. Once you close the operation, you can associate the barrels with a different VBT.

When you transfer an empty tank or VBT between blend facilities, the system copies the vessel's attributes and style from the shipping to the receiving facility.

You can print a list of the empty vessels that you transfer on the Operation Print report (R31B65A01). The report displays the empty barrels and calculates their total number for the After lots of the operations with empty barrels. The system also calculates the number of full barrels on each After lot.

12.11.1.2 In-Place Operation with Empty Vessels

You use in-place operations for empty vessels to enable cleaning and maintenance of empty tanks and barrels, for example, repairs or processing of new vessels. The vessels must be empty before you can perform this type of operation. The system uses the setup information from the configured operation to determine what activity you can perform on a specific vessel, but you cannot specify the status in the operation itself. For example, to perform cleaning and maintenance activities on a tank, the tank's status cannot be Out of Commission. If you want to repair a tank, the tank status must be Out of Commission, and you should only be able to move the status to either Decommissioned or Active.

In the case of barrels, for cleaning and maintenance, you must set the barrel's availability code to a status other than Culled. For repairs, the availability code for the barrel must be Culled. For barrel disposal, you can set up the configured operation so that the operation changes the barrel status to Culled.

Note:

You cannot use unknown vessels for in-place operations with empty vessels.
