Understanding Harvest Cost-Component Changes

The cost of your grapes is often one of your largest expenditures when generating your blended products. However, you might not know the final cost of the grapes when you begin the blend process. For example, the price negotiated in the contract might include a bonus or penalty that is based on a factor that you don't know until late in the blend process. After you know the final price, you update the price of the grapes to include the final cost. To enable effective operational cost accounting, you must apply changes to the cost of the grapes to all lots that include the repriced grapes.

When you receive a crop of grapes into your winery, you create an operation (record) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management or Blend Management system. The initial operation is generally a weigh tag (WT) or a bill of lading (BOL), and has an operation category code of REC (received). The type of operation that you create is determined by your business practices and by the JD Edward EnterpriseOne systems that you use.

When you close the WT or BOL operation, the system creates a receipt record in the Purchase Order Receiver File (F43121). If the cost of your grapes changes, you can reprice the receipt record. When you reprice a receipt, you can also run the Recost Blend Lots Batch program (R31B30) to update the harvest cost-component and apply the repriced harvest cost proportionally to all existing lots that include the repriced grape.

If you enable partial receipts, you can generate a receipt record for a WT without closing the operation.
