Understanding Inbound Operations
When you import operation data from external systems, you create "after-the- fact" operations with a status of Active or Actual. The inbound data specifies the From and To vessels and the actual quantity or dip measurements. You can import these single or multiple operations:
Single-vessel in-place operations.
Operations with one-to-one movements.
One tank to many virtual barrel tanks (VBTs).
Many tanks to one VBT.
One VBT to many tanks.
Many VBTs to one tank.
The system does not expect all quantities from the external system, but the inbound data should provide the minimum quantities for calculating operations. For receipt operations the system always expects the actual move quantity. For all other operations, any one of the quantities (Actual Move, From After, or To After) is essential so that the system can calculate the appropriate actual quantity as required by the instruction method of the configured operation. You must enter 1 in the Quantity Flag field, which enables the system to identify the quantity that you enter. If you do not enter 1, then the system does not consider the quantity entered.
Interoperability enables you to import the following basic operation values:
EUR.
Lot quantities and the Fixed/Balance flag set appropriately. The system updates the From After and To After EUR values for the operation.
Composition records in the bill of lading transaction.
Default owner.
Blend ID and alternative Blend ID.
The system updates the override flag for the Blend ID.
Quality assurance operations.
The system validates the tests and updates them with test values. It updates the test results for the After lot.
You also can update tests and import new tests for existing operations.
Sample information.
You can import the sample information that is associated with a test. The system stores third-party sample numbers as alternate sample numbers. The system does not consolidate imported samples.
Equipment.
The inbound engine can assign multiple pieces of equipment.
Consumables.
The system provides default consumables based on the equipment and also assigns consumables from the data tables.
Resources.
The inbound engine can process multiple resources.
Cost.
The system assigns costs only to receipt operations
Style.
The system assigns style only to receipt operations
Instructed attributes.
You can add instructed attributes for From or To After lots with override flags.
VBT.
You can add new or update existing virtual barrel tank (VBT) operations.
If you work with multiple tanks, such as importing data for many VBTs to one tank, you must include values for certain fields. If you do not include them in the data that you upload, you can use the appropriate transaction revision program to add the information:
V2V Move Seq Num (vessel to vessel move sequence number) (data item WV2VLNID)
From To Flag (data item WCFTF)
Weigh Tag details.
You can add new or update existing weigh tag details for operations.
The system does not process other operational data into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne inbound transaction tables. The following table describes operation data that is calculated by the inbound operation engine or uses default values from the configured operation:
Data |
Source |
|---|---|
Style |
You can instruct style in receipt operations (weigh tag or bill of lading). For all other operations, the system uses the style attributes from the configured operation, equipment, or vessel as a default value. |
Lot comments |
Lot comments can be instructed for From After and To After lots. The configured operation provides default values for additional lot comments. |
Accumulated additives |
The system calculates this value if the configured operation is an additive operation. |
Costs |
The system uses the costs from the From lot or the material type item's standard cost for receipt and bill of lading as the default value. Note: You cannot instruct the costs to the general ledger for operations. |
Material type |
The system uses the default value from the configured operation. You can also instruct the material type. |
Wine status |
The system uses the default value from the configured operation. You can also instruct the wine status. |
Instructed attributes |
You can instruct these values. |
