Manage Additive Form

The Manage Additive form in the Additive Workbench includes these areas and subforms:

• Search header area and Lot Attributes tab.

  At a minimum, you must specify the winery, unit of measure, and vessel class to use when you search for vessels. The Manage Additive form provides additional search fields in the header, the QBE (query by example) line, and the Lot Attributes tab.

  Click the Find button in the search header area to display the search results. Click the Clear Search Criteria button to clear the search header area and Lot Attributes tab of all search criteria. Note that the Clear Search Criteria button does not clear the values that you enter in the QBE line.

• Vessel records.

  The vessel records area displays the results of your search. You must use the search function to display the vessel records because you must select the vessels to work with before you can calculate the effect of the additives that you add.

  Note: The system always adds the additive to the most current lot in the vessel, even if your search returns an older lot because of your search criteria. Take care when setting your search criteria so that you do not display and select a lot that is not the current lot.

• Add Additive subform.

  You specify the additive, additive method, and quantity in the Add Additive subform. If you select the Rate or Flow additive method, you also specify the additive rate quantity. You can also specify whether to use a test or panel when creating quality operations, enter the test specification, and specify a lot and location of the additive.

  You can add multiple additives to the vessels that you selected, and can specify a different additive method for each additive. You can also specify to add additives from a branch/plant (winery) other than the winery to which the vessel belongs.

  The Add Additive subform includes these buttons:

  • Calculate

    After you add additives in the Add Additive subform, select the vessels to which to apply the additives, and then click the Calculate button. When you click the Calculate button, the program creates a row in the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform for each vessel/additive combination.

  • Delete

    Select a record in the Add Additive subform and click Delete to remove the additive from the Add Additive subform and the vessel/additive records from the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform.

• Create Work Order by area.

  You use this option to specify whether to group the work orders that you create by the vessels or by the additives.

• Vessel/Additive Quantity subform.

  After you click the Calculate button to calculate the additive quantities for the selected vessels, this section shows the additive quantities for each vessel. The subform includes a line for each vessel/additive combination. For example, if you select three vessels and add two additives, the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform includes six lines. You can make changes to the additive method and quantity for each line as necessary.

  The Vessel/Additive Quantity subform includes these buttons:

  • Select All

    Before you can create operations, you must select the records for which to create the operations. Click the Select All button to select all records in the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform. The program places a check mark in the Create Op (create operation) field for all records in the grid area of the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform. When you click the Create Operations button, the program groups all of the selected records by vessel or additive, depending on the selection in the Create Work Order by option, and displays the Operation/WO Template Selection form.

  • Clear All

    Click the Clear All button to deselect all records in the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform. You should deselect the records for which you do not want to create operations.

  • Close

    Click the Close button to exit the Additive Workbench program without saving data.

  • Cancel

    Click the Cancel button to remove all vessel/additive combinations from the subform.

  • Create Operation

    When you are ready to create operations, select an option in the Create Work Order by area, use the Select All button or manually select the vessel/additive records for which to create operations, and then click the Create Operations button. The system opens the Operation / WO Template Selection form when you click the Create Operation button.

  • Calculate All

    Click Calculate All to update all records in the Active Ingredient subform. Generally, you update records only if you've made changes to the records in the Add Additive or Active Ingredients subforms.

  • Calculate

    After you select the vessels and enter additive information, click the Calculate button to calculate the additive quantities for each selected vessel. Records for the vessel/addition combination appear in the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform.

• Active Ingredient subform.

  The Active Ingredient subform shows the details about the active ingredients for a vessel/additive combination. Select a record in the Vessel/Additive Quantity subform to view the detailed information about a combination.
