Setting Up Style Definitions

Access the Edit Style Definition Information form.

Data Type

Select a data type to indicate how you want to track the effects of operations or vessels on style. For example, you can determine that the style you are defining tracks how many days or hours a blend lot remains in a vessel, or how much time passes between operations. Data types are stored in UDC table 31B/DT. Values are:

Counter Day

Counter Event

Counter Hour

Date

Percent

Time Day

Timer Hour

Vessel Counter Day

Vessel Counter Hour

Note: Use Vessel Counter Day or Vessel Counter Hour if you want to create a vessel counter style. For other counter styles, you can use Counter Day, Counter Event, or Counter Hour.If you set up a style definition with the Date data type, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value Override and does not allow you to use the Additive method for this style. The system uses the wine effect modifier to blend the style date if both the configured operation and the lot have a style ID. If the lot has a date style, but the configured operation does not, the system uses the style blending rules to blend the style dates.

Type

Select a value for the type of style. Style types are stored in UDC table 31B/TY. Values are:

Barrel

Block

Equipment

Operation

Tank

Note: If you use data type Date, you must specify Operation as the style type.

Instructable (Y/N)

Specify whether the style can be instructed in a configured operation.

Wine Effect Modifier

Select a value to specify how the style value of an existing blend lot style is affected by a vessel, a piece of equipment, or an operation. Values are:

Additive: Add the new value to the existing value.

Maximum: Change the value if the new value is larger.

Minimum: Change the value if the new value is smaller.

Override: Change the value.

Wine effect modifiers are stored in UDC table 31B/WM.

Note: If you set up a style definition with data type Date, the system automatically sets the wine effect modifier to the value of Override.

Category Code 01and Category Code 02
