3.1 Understanding Grower Contracts

A contract is an agreement between two or more entities, usually between an agribusiness and a farmer or grower. The contract is the central repository for all terms and conditions of an agreement, including pricing and payment schedules. Negotiating a contract for products occurs at both the regional and corporate level. External growers or internally owned farms may have a contract with the product.

After an agribusiness determines whom to contract with for a product, both parties agree upon one or more contracts. The contracts contain information about the plot of land, also referred to as the block, on which the product is grown. For each growing period, associate a harvest with a block. The harvest identifies the product and growing period. Because a contract can span several growing periods, a block might have several harvests associated with it. Typically, the contract manager manages the harvests at the block level because most harvests for a block have similar characteristics such as price. A grower contract is a contract associated with a block and harvest.

A grower contract consists of these three components:

Figure 3-1 Contract Components

Description of "Figure 3-1 Contract Components"

This table describes contract components:

Component	Description
Contract Header	Includes general information about the contract, clauses, payment schedules, and action dates. Provides many of the default field values to the block records that are associated with the contract. The system stores contract header information in the Contract Header table (F43C01).
Contract Block	Includes information about the grower and the parcel of land, and enables you to manage the corresponding harvests for a contract. Provides many of the default field values to the harvest records that are associated with the block. The system stores contract block information in the Contract Block table (F43C10).
Contract Harvest	Includes detailed information about the grower harvest, the product and quantity expected for a growing cycle, and so on. The system stores contract harvest information in the Contract Detail table (F43C11).

These three components form a hierarchy. The contract header is a parent to the contract block and the contract block is a parent to the contract harvest. The system passes many of the parent attributes on to its children so that the information from one level of the hierarchy becomes default information for another.

One component in the hierarchy depends on the existence of another component. You cannot add a contract block without a contract header, nor can you add a contract harvest without a contract block.

After you create the contract header, you can add one or more blocks to the contract. Similarly, after you create the contract block, you can add one or more harvest to the contract. After completing all three components of the contract, you can begin transacting against the contract.

Before the interested parties review and agree upon the terms of a contract, you can enter the contract into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system and assign draft status to it. You can create the contract header, block, and harvest with a minimal amount of information or you can create the contract header and later add the block and harvest. The interested parties review the contract and, if necessary, revise the agreement and then sign it. When the interested parties sign the agreement or contract, you change the draft status to active status. Throughout the life cycle of the contract, you can closely monitor the details of the contract, including receipts and payments for the contracted items.

3.2 Understanding the Relationship Among Contracts, Blocks, and Harvests

A one-for-one relationship exists between these components:

Contract block and grower block.
Contract harvest and grower harvest.

When you add a contract block and contract harvest, the system uses information from the grower block and grower harvest created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system.

A contract can have only one header record; however, it can have multiple blocks and harvests. You can add the same block to multiple contracts, although this would probably occur only if you renegotiated a contract and wanted to create an additional contract and retain the block from the previous contract.

The following table shows the different types of information that appear on a contract. As the table indicates, the system passes default values for general information, clauses, and payment schedules from the contract header to the contract block to the contract harvest. The system passes the default values for pricing and assessments and donations from the contract block to the contract harvest. You can override the default values and update information based on the form that you access:

Type of Information	Contract Header	Contract Block	Contract Harvest
General Information	x	x	x
Clauses	x	x	x
Pricing		x	x
Assessments and Donations		x	x
Payment Schedule	x	x	x
Action Date	x
Pay on Proceeds		x	x

3.3 Adding Contracts

This section provides overviews of contract headers and payment schedules and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Contract Workbench (P43C00).
Add a contract header.
Attach a clause to a contract.
Enter payees and payment schedules.
Enter action dates.

3.3.1 Understanding Contract Headers

The contract header contains general information about the contract, such as contract name, contracting entity, start and end dates, and terms for renewal. The contract header also includes clauses to attach to the contract, payment terms, and action items and dates that are used to track common tasks or actions related to the contract. This information is stored in the Contract Header table (F43C01).

Typically, you enter a contract header and assign the contract a draft status while negotiating the contract. After you enter a start and end date on the contract header, you can change the contract from a draft to an active status. You cannot process any transactions against the contract until it has an active status.

The system passes some information that you enter in the contract header on to the contract block, for example, dates and payment schedule.

3.3.2 Understanding Payment Schedules

You can issue payment for a contract directly to the contracting entity, or you can issue payments to one or multiple payees. For example, you could issue payments for a contract to a manager, grower, and a bank (on behalf of the grower). Additionally, you can assign each payee a different payment term and schedule. The system stores payee information in the following tables:

Contract Payee (F43C20)
Payee Date Schedule (F43C25)

For example, assume that the first payee record on a payment schedule has a due date rule of DEL 30 and is attached to a payment term code with multiple installments. The rule specifies a delivery percent of 30. The first payee record has a distribution percent of 20. The estimated harvest yield for the contract is 100 tons at 500 USD per ton (50,000 USD total).

According to the due date rule, the payee cannot receive payment until at least 30 tons of product have been received. At that time, the payee would receive 10,000 USD (20 percent of 50,000 USD).

3.4 Adding Grower Blocks to Contracts

This section provides overviews of contract blocks and price adjustment schedules and discusses how to:

Attach an existing grower block to a contract.
Add a price adjustment schedule to a block.
Add an assessment or a donation to a block.
Add a new grower block to a contract.

3.4.1 Understanding Contract Blocks

After you enter a contract header, you can add the contract block that contains information about the grower. You must add at least one contract block to a contract. If a contract is not at a terminated status, you can add a block to it.

The contract block is the second component of a contract and exists primarily for you to manage pricing and the detail records for the harvests related to the contract. Although the contract block is directly associated with the grower block, the contract block includes attributes from the contract header such as start and end dates and contract terms.

General information, clauses, and payment schedules are passed from the contract header to the contract block. Contract block information is stored in the Contract Block table (F43C10).

To add a block to a contract, you either attach an existing grower block or create one when you add the contract, as shown in this diagram:

Figure 3-6 Contract block entry

Description of "Figure 3-6 Contract block entry"

If you create a grower block when you add the contract, the system requires that you enter a minimum amount of information. Then, at a later time, you can complete the grower block record in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system.

The grower block that you add to a contract must be at an active status. If the grower block is inactive, the system issues either a warning or an error message based on a processing option setting for the Contract Workbench program (P43C00). If the grower block that you add to the contract is at a status other than active or terminated, the system prompts you to make the grower block active.

3.4.2 Understanding Price Adjustment Schedules

You use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing system to create the price adjustment schedules that you add to contract blocks. You can have two types of price adjustments on the scheule; one ts associated with the weigh tag receipt and one for proceed payments.

You add an adjustment schedule, associated with the weigh tag receipt, to increase or decrease the price that you pay for a product, based on predefined conditions. For example, you might have an adjustment schedule that depends on quality test results. After you receive shipment for the product and perform quality tests, your final settlement amount includes any price adjustments based on this schedule.

You add an adjustment schedule for proceed payments to enable you to pay growers based on the price that you sell the crop. After you sell the crop, you canmatch the crop receipt to an assoicated sales order.

You can set a default price adjustment schedule in a processing option for the Contract Workbench program (P43C00). You can change or override the price adjustment schedule on the contract block and contract harvest records.

When you add a grower block to a contract, the system displays default values from the contract header and default values from the grower block in many of the fields on the form. You can change some default values.

See "Creating a Block" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Grower Management Implementation Guide.

Block Code: Enter the unique identifier or name of the grower block. To select from a list of block codes, use the search button to access the Grower Block Search & Select form.

3.4.4.1 General Information

Start Date and End Date

If necessary, enter new start and end dates in these fields. The dates must be within the date range in the contract header.

Note:

When you save the record, the system compares the start dates on the block to the contract header and issues an error message if the start date or end date on the contract block is before or after the dates on the contract header.

Contract Price Group

Enter a code from UDC table 43C/PG to identify matrix pricing, for example, IL (internal).

Price Override

Enter the unit price for the product. You can apply adjustments to this price if a price adjustment schedule is defined on the Pricing tab.

Price Level

Enter a code from UDC table 45/PL for the price level, for example, 1 (Level I) and 2 (Level II). The price level determines the price on a receipt line. Transactions made against a contract use the price associated with this price level unless you specify an override price in the Price Override field.

Minimum Price and Maximum Price

Enter the smallest and largest base prices that the system should use for transactions against the contract. To use this feature, you must associate an adjustment schedule to the contract that has a minimum and maximum price adjustment defined within the schedule. If you do not have an adjustment schedule, the fields are informational.

Memo Price and Memo Price Level

Enter an additional price for the contract for reference purposes. For example, you could enter the district average price and compare it to the actual price that you pay the grower.

Enter a code from UDC table 45/PL to identify the price level of the memo price.

Price Override Comment

Enter any free-form text about the price override, such as a short description of the purpose of the price override.

Purchasing UOM (purchasing unit of measure)

Enter a code from UDC table 00/UM that identifies the unit of measure in which you usually purchase the product. Examples are BL (barrels) and GA (gallons).

This field is not required if the contract status is draft. The system requires a value in this field to calculate the contract price.

Price Type

Enter a code from UDC table 43C/PT that represents the type of price that the contract uses. For example, DP (district price) is the price that is set by a district, whereas SP (set price) is a price that is agreed upon between you and the grower.

Contract Quantity and Transaction UOM (transaction unit of measure)

Enter the number of items or products that you expect to receive for the contract and enter the corresponding measurement from UDC table 00/UM in these fields. For example, if you enter 2 and TN in these fields respectively, the contract quantity is two tons.

The default value for the Transaction UOM is from the Purchasing UOM field.

Minimum Quantity and Maximum Quantity

Enter the smallest and largest amounts that can be transacted against the contract if a contract quantity exists (the Contract Quantity field contains a value).

Disallow Receipt

Select this check box if you want the system to validate transactions against the minimum and maximum quantities.

Note:

To add another grower block to the contract, click Save and Attach Another. Click Save and Continue and scroll down to generate or add a grower harvest record to the block. Otherwise, click Save and Close.

3.4.5 Adding a Price Adjustment Schedule to a Block

Access the Update Contract Block form and select the Pricing tab.

Figure 3-10 Update Contract Block form: Pricing tab

Description of "Figure 3-10 Update Contract Block form: Pricing tab"

Note:

The system uses the adjustment schedule on the Pricing to price the received product on the associated purchase order.

If a processing option is set in the Contract Workbench program, the system displays a default adjustment schedule on this tab. To remove the schedule and add a new one, click Remove Schedule and continue to the next step.

Click Select Schedule.
On the Adjustment Schedule Search and Select form, select the adjustment schedule.

The system displays the records that are associated with the schedule on the Pricing tab.
Change the effective and expired dates for the record, if applicable.
To revise a record, click the name of the record in the Description column to drill down to the Price Adjustment Detail Revisions form.

We discuss price adjustment schedules in another task.

See "Working with Schedules and Adjustments" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Advanced Pricing Implementation Guide.

3.4.6 Adding an Assessment or a Donation to a Contract

Access the Update Contract Block form, and select the Assessments/Donations tab.

Figure 3-11 Update Contract Block form: Assessments/Donations tab

Description of "Figure 3-11 Update Contract Block form: Assessments/Donations tab"

You can add an existing standard assessment or donation, or create an assessment or donation to use for this contract only.

Note:

Typically, assessments and donations are applicable to the contract harvest record. However, you can assign them to the contract block record so that the system pushes the assessment or donation to the contract harvest record.

3.4.6.1 Assessments/Donations

Type

Select a value from UDC table 43C/AT to identify the type of adjustment.

Standard Assessment/Donation Name

Enter the name that uniquely identifies the standard assessment or donation.

You set up commonly used assessments or donations on the Standard Assessment & Donations form.

Assessment/Donation Description

The system displays the description of the assessment or donation if you enter a value in the Standard Assessment/Donation Name field.

The system stores assessments and donations in the Assessment Donations table (F43C30).

Note:

For nonstandard assessments, enter a description in this field only if the assessment or donation applies to this block and has not been set up as a standard assessment or donation. If you enter a description in this field, you must leave the Standard Assessment/Donation Name field blank.

Amount Per and Flat Amount

Enter either a positive amount (no sign) or negative amount (minus sign) to specify whether the system adds or subtracts an amount during settlement.

Assessment/Donation Percent

Enter a number that represents the percentage of the total transaction amount that should apply to the assessment or donation.

3.4.7 Managing Pay Proceeds

Access the Update Contract Block form, and select the Pay on Proceeds tab.

Figure 3-12 Update Contract Block form: Pay on Proceeds tab

Description of "Figure 3-12 Update Contract Block form: Pay on Proceeds tab"

Grower Equity Type: Specify a user defined code (43C/ET) that defines the type of contractual agreement between a customer and a grower.
Grower Equity Percent: Enter a number that indicates the percentage of equity in a crop that is owned by the grower. Enter percents as a whole numbers; for example enter 5 for 5 percent.
Pay on Proceeds Pool: Enter a user defined code (43C/PP) that defines a group of growers across which you spread the payments from the proceeds of accumulated sales for a crop.
Payment Terms: Specify the terms of payment, including the percentage of discount available if the invoice is paid by the discount due date. Use a blank code to indicate the most frequently-used payment term. You define each type of payment term on the Payment Terms Revisions form.
Select Schedule: Click this button to search for pricing schedules.
Remove Schedule: Click this button to remove pricing schedules.

3.4.8 Adding a New Grower Block to a Contract

Access the Add/Edit Grower Block form.

Figure 3-13 Add/Edit Grower Block form

Description of "Figure 3-13 Add/Edit Grower Block form"

When you add a new grower block record, the system requires that you enter values in a minimum number of fields. Later, you can enter the details for the record in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system.

We discuss the fields on the Add/Edit Grower Block form in another task.

See "Creating a Block" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Grower Management Implementation Guide.

Note:

3.5 Adding Grower Harvests to Contract Blocks

This section provides an overview of contract harvests and discusses how to:

Attach an existing grower harvest to a contract block.
Generate new grower harvests for a contract block.

3.5.1 Understanding Contract Harvests

After you enter a contract block, you must add a harvest record to the contract. The harvest record contains information about the growing cycle of the crop for a particular block and the pricing. The contract harvest is the third component of a contract and contains the detail records for the grower harvests. Much as the contract block inherits attributes from the contract header, the contract harvest inherits attributes from the contract block.

The system passes general information, clauses, pricing, assessments and donations, pay on proceeds, and payment schedules from the contract block to the contract harvest. The system stores contract harvest records in the Contract Detail table (F43C11).

To add a harvest to a contract, you either attach an existing grower harvest or generate new harvest records when you add the contract, as shown in this diagram:

Figure 3-14 Contract harvest entry

Description of "Figure 3-14 Contract harvest entry"

If you generate new harvest records, the system generates records for both the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management and Grower Pricing and Payment systems.

You must add at least one harvest record to a block; however, you cannot add the same harvest record to multiple contracts. That is, a grower harvest can be associated with only one contract block.

You can only generate new harvests if Item Number field on the contract block is not blank. If the Item Number field is blank, the system disables the Attach/Generate Harvests button. However, you can manually add harvests.

3.5.4 Generating New Grower Harvests for a Contract Block

On the Add Contract Block form, scroll down and click Generate/Attach Harvest to automatically generate new grower and contract harvest records or attach existing records.

If grower harvest records exist in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system, the system attaches the existing future harvest records to the contract block.

If grower harvest records do not exist, the system generates grower harvest records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system and block harvest records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payment system and attaches the block harvest records to the contract block. The system generates harvests based on:

The maximum number of harvests that are specified in a processing option for Grower Harvest Maintenance (P40G03)
The block renewable end date, if one exists, or the block end date.
The harvest period patterns that you have set up.

If the harvest start and end dates for the patterns in the Harvest Period Patterns program (P40G003) do not cover the date range, the system does not generate harvest records, regardless of the processing option setting or block end date.

Note:

If there is no item number, the system disables the Generate/Attach Harvest button.

3.5.4.1 Example: Generate New Grower Harvests

For example, assume the contract block has a start date of June 1, 2007 and an end date of May 31, 2010. The block renewable end date is 2015. If you set the processing option to 7, the system generates harvest records for 2008–2014.

Using the same example with no renewable end date (blank), the system generates harvest records for 2008–2010.
