Blend ID

Each lot can have only one blend ID. The system uses one of the following methods to determine the blend ID of the After lot:

  • The system enters the blend ID of After lots using the largest contributing lot.

  • The system enters the same blend ID value as the Before lot for that vessel.

  • The system omits the blend ID of the After lot.

    You must enter a new blend ID or have the system construct a new one.

  • The system generates a new blend ID.

    The blend ID of the After lot is carried over to a new blend ID based on the blend ID configuration.

You define this method in the Blend ID Definition program (P31B50).

The system issues a warning if the blend ID does not match the calculated values based on the blend ID definition. The calculated values, not including the sequence number, are visible to identify where the blend ID does not match.

Note: The Blend ID field can be blank, depending on the configured operation, but you must enter a value before you close the operation.
