2 Setting Up JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management

This chapter contains the following topics:

2.1 Setting Up Blend System Constants

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

2.1.1 Understanding Blend System Constants

A constant is a piece of information that you set up to define how the system processes information. The system uses constants as default information in many JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems. After you determine the information to use throughout the system, you can enter the appropriate values using the Blend Management Constants program (P31B14). You define tracking methods and separator numbers for barrels. You can also define barrels, lot rounding, weight factor, and other miscellaneous facility information.

2.2 Running the Populate Base Operations and Summary Attributes Table Program (R31B20)

After you set up system constants, run the Populate Base Operations and Summary Attributes Table program (R31B20) to load blend data into the system. This program resets the next numbers in the Winery Constants table (F31B13), adds additional automatic accounting instructions for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management, and populates the Base Operation Configuration table (F31B73).


Note:

The R31B20 program does not affect other data, such as next numbers in the Next Numbers table (F0002) in the system, only blend data.

2.4 Setting Up Temperature Conversion Charts

This section provides an overview of temperature conversion charts and discusses how to:

  • Add new temperature conversion charts.

  • Copy existing temperature conversion charts.

  • Import existing temperature conversion charts.

2.4.1 Understanding Temperature Conversion Charts

When you set up different spirit material types in the Material Type Master table (F31B04), you specify a standard temperature for the material type. Once you perform an operation on a spirit and measure the ambient temperature, the result might be higher or lower than the standard temperature. To ensure that the transaction volume is correct, the system recalculates the volume based on a temperature conversion chart that you define. Use the Temperature Chart Conversion program (P31B116) to set up a conversion chart. The system stores the temperature chart information in the Temperature Conversion Chart Header table (F31B116) and the Temperature Conversion Chart Detail table (F31B117), The temperature conversion chart lists ambient temperatures, alcohol percent values, and the conversion factor or volume modifier that the system needs to calculate the spirit volume for an operation correctly. When you set up the spirit material type, you reference the temperature conversion chart that you want the system to use for recalculating spirit volumes.

When you measure the ambient temperature or the alcohol percent value of a spirit during an operation, the values that you record may fall between two values on the temperature conversion chart. In this case, the system uses a straight-line calculation to arrive at the correct conversion factor. The following table lists the ambient temperatures in Fahrenheit, alcohol percentages, and related conversion factors for a standard temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit:

Ambient Temperature Alcohol Percent Conversion Factor
60.0 F 0.85 0.9800
62.0 F 0.85 0.9920
66.0 F 0.85 0.9965
60.10 F 0.90 0.9700
62.2 F 0.90 0.9880
66.2 F 0.90 0.9960

For an ambient temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit and an alcohol percent value of 85, the system has to calculate the conversion factor because the temperature value is not listed on the chart. To calculate the conversion factor, the system looks up the two closest temperature values for the alcohol percent value of 85. In this case, they are 62 and 66. The following calculation illustrates how the system arrives at the correct conversion factor based on the specified values:

0.9920 + (¾) × (0.9965 − 0.9920) = 0.99425

If both the temperature and the alcohol percent values fall between values on the chart, the system has to perform multiple calculations. For example, if the ambient temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit and the alcohol percent value is 88:

0.9920 + (¾) × (0.9965 − 0.9920) = 0.99425

0.9880 + (¾) × (0.9960 − 0.9880) = 0.9920

(0.99425 × (¾)) + (0.9920 × (¾)) = 0.993125


Note:

You can enter and store temperatures for the temperature conversion chart only to the 10th degree. Pristine data includes a standard temperature conversion chart for 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The system can perform conversions only for temperatures that fall between the highest and lowest value that you define in the temperature conversion chart. If you enter an ambient temperature or the vessel has an alcohol percent on a spirit operation that falls outside the chart, the system issues an error message because it cannot perform the conversion.
