An imaginary lot might be a To Buy lot or a Competitor's Lot.

Vessel Number

Displays the vessel number.

Vessel Class

Displays the kind of vessel. Examples of vessel classes are weigh tags, tanks, and virtual barrel tanks.

Blend ID

Displays the blend ID. This is an ID that groups similar lots of wine. The blend ID is recorded on vessel labels to help identify lots used in operations and typically contains information about ownership, variety, location and year.

EUR Code (end-use reservation code)

Displays the EUR code if the value in the header matches the value in the input lot.

Blend Lot Quantity

Displays the quantity from the input lot.

Lot UOM (lot unit of measure)

Displays the unit of measure of the input lot.

Quantity Contributed

Enter the contribution quantity of the input lot to the output lot. If you enter a value in this field, the system calculates the value in the Percent Contributed and Percentage Target Qty TB fields. If you leave this field blank, you can enter a value in the Percent Contributed field, and the system calculates the value in this field.

Percent Contributed

Enter the contribution percentage of the input lot to the output lot. If you enter a value in this field, the system calculates the value in the Percent Contributed and Percentage Target Qty TB fields. If you leave this field blank, you can enter a value in the Quantity Contributed field, and the system calculates the value in this field.

% Target Qty TB (percent target quantity trial blend)

Specify the contribution percentage of the input lot to the target quantity of the trial blend. If you enter a value in this field, the system calculates the values in the Percent Contributed field. If you leave this field blank, you can enter a value in the Percent Contributed field, and the system calculates the value in this field.

Contribution Percent Total TB (contribution percent total trial blend)

Displays the percent of the contribution from the input lot to the trial blend lot.

Percent of TB EUR (percent of trial blend end-use reservation)

Displays the percentage of the EUR from the EUR in the header.

Total of TB EUR (total of trial blend end-use reservation)

Displays the portion of the input lot quantity associated with a trial blend EUR by using the lot's current volume.

Contributed TB EUR Qty (contributed trial blend end-use reservation quantity)

Displays the percent of the input lot that is contributed to the trial blend lot by using the lots contributing volume.

Base Status

Enter a UDC (31B/TS) for the base status of the input lot.

Wine Status Short Code

Displays the short code for the status of the input lot.

Material Type

Displays a code that uniquely identifies the material type. You use material type to describe the contents of a blend lot.

Winery

Displays the unique identifier for the winery.

Named Calc Date 1–6 (named calculation date 1 through 6)

Displays the named calculation date. The system displays only one of the named calculation fields per named calculation. For example, the system displays either the Named Calc Date, Named Calc Col Num, or the Named Calculation String field per named calculation, not all three fields.

Named Calc Col 1–6 Num (named calculation column 1 through 6 number)

Displays the named calculation column. The system displays only one of the named calculation fields per named calculation. For example, the system displays either the Named Calc Date, Named Calc Col Num, or the Named Calculation String field per named calculation, not all three fields.

Named Calculation String 1–6

Displays the named calculation string. The system displays only one of the named calculation fields per named calculation. For example, the system displays either the Named Calc Date, Named Calc Col Num, or the Named Calculation String field per named calculation, not all three fields.

Summary Attributes 1–25

Displays the summary attributes for the input lot. In the column titles, the system displays the descriptions that you set up for summary attributes.

Instructed Attributes 1–12

Displays the instructed attributes for the input lot. In the column titles, the system displays the descriptions that you set up for instructed attributes.

Lot Number

The system displays the lot number of the input lot.

Add Vessel/Virtual Lot

Select to access the Inventory by Vessel View form. Select a virtual or a real lot as an input lot for the trial blend.

Add Trial Blend Lot

Select to access the Search and Select Trial Blend form to select a trial blend lot as an input lot.

Significant Change

Select to evaluate whether current lot attributes (wine volume, blend ID, and volume) are significantly changed from the original lot attributes. The system compares the current lot attributes of the selected vessel in the input lot grid with the lot attributes of the vessel when you originally selected it for the trial blend.

Refresh Lot

Select to replace the original lot attribute values with the values from current lot attributes. The system compares the current lot attribute values with the lot attributes of the original input lots. If they have changed, the system replaces the original lot number and lot attributes with the current lot number and lot attributes.

Create Operations

Select input lots from the Input Lots area and then select this option to create operations from the input lots of the trial blend. The system calls the Operation/WO Template selection form. Add the configured operation and save it. The selected input lots become the From vessels of the operation.

Trace/Track

Select to access the Work With Operations form. From this form you can access the Operation Trace/Track form, where you can review the sequence of operations performed on the selected input lot. You can only select one grid record to have this option available.

You can also use this option to refresh input lots manually. On the Operation Trace/Track form, select a new lot to replace the selected existing input lot on the Edit Trial Blend form. Because you refresh lots manually, the system does not consider the refresh operation status that you set up for the trial blend.

Note: You cannot use this option for virtual lots. If you select a virtual lot in the input grid, this option is not available.
Delete

Select to delete any input lots that you have selected.

Calculate Blend

Click to save the input lots and create the trial blend lot. The output lot data appears in the output detail area.

Note: You must click Calculate Blend to save the input lots before you click Save and Close in the header. If you click only Save and Close, the system does not save the input lots.
