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.
