Understanding EUR Definitions

The EUR definition is the main component of the EUR profile. When you create an EUR definition, you define information about the end products to which you allocate lots or blocks. You must create a short code and attach a brand definition. You can specify the harvest period, as well as the primary appellation, wine family, variety, and harvest period for the EUR. If the EUR that you are defining is a sub-EUR, you can enter a parent EUR.

You must associate the EUR with an accounting group and an item number for accounting purposes. You can also provide additional descriptive information, for example that the EUR is intended for sale and should therefore not be used for blending. The system stores this information in the EUR Master table (F31B07).

You extend the EUR definition by defining a set of planning assumptions that enable you to analyze possible advance planning scenarios based on marketing requirements. However, these planning assumptions are for information only, and the system does not validate them. You can set up the following assumptions for an EUR:

Assumption	Description	Table
Harvest assumptions	Parameters for the quality results of the bulk material that is assigned to the EUR.	Harvest Assumptions (F31B0710)
Loss assumptions	Parameters for permissible loss thresholds to estimate the quantity of bulk material that is required for the EUR.	Loss Assumptions (F31B0730)
Planning assumptions	The ability to set up a plan to purchase bulk material for various types of activities in different types of quantities. The addition and removal of other EURs.	Planning Assumptions (F31B0740) EUR Cull and Cascade (F31B0741)
Conversion rate assumptions	Conversion rates that are used for planning assumptions.	EUR Conversion Assumptions (F31B0760)

In addition, you can define valid operations for EURs at different wine statuses. The system stores this information in the Operation List table (F31B0751), but does not use it for validation when you enter operations.

If you have created a version of an EUR profile, you cannot edit that version. However, you can still revise the original or current EUR profile. The system uses the current profile for validations. The following table illustrates the difference between the current and the versioned EURs:

EUR	Version	Edit
Pinot Grigio	NA	Yes
Pinot Grigio	2004	No
Pinot Grigio	2005	No

You can edit an EUR definition only if you have not created an EUR profile version. When an EUR profile version exists, you can view an EUR definition, but the Edit EUR Definition form becomes read-only, preventing you from making any changes to the EUR definition. You can copy EUR definitions, but the system does not copy the item information. You must manually specify an item for the copied EUR to ensure that the EUR is associated with the correct item. You can delete an EUR only if it was never used.
