Understanding Generating Barrel Style Definitions

After you set up barrel style definitions, run the Generate Barrel Style Definition program (R31B34) to automatically assign styles to barrel master records.

Note: This program generates style definition records (F31B34) for selected barrels based on the parameters from the barrel style definition ID.

This batch program assigns values in a concatenated view, for example, 61AMOHV/2004/9583. The field separator (/) is specified in the winery constants. You can generate barrel style definitions independently of the Barrel Master program, that is, either before or after barrels are received. If you run this program at the time of barrel receipt when adding barrels to the Barrel Master table, only the barrel numbers that are supplied in the Barrel Master are affected. If you run this program independently of the Barrel Master program, use data selection to specify the barrel number, business unit, and other necessary data.

You should set up a different version for each barrel style definition. You will need to specify the R31B34 version in the processing options for Barrel Master (P31B03).
