Understanding Style Definition

Style is a generic term for the recording of various pieces of information about a blend lot, for example, the number of days in oak or number of stirs and filters. After you have defined styles and assigned them to blend lots, they can be used for reports and inquiries. Style definitions are stored in the F31B34 table.

As business processes change, you may need to modify styles. For example, changes might occur in the blend facility, the blending threshold, or operations.

When styles are modified or deleted, those styles affect future blend lots or planned blend lots only when the system recalculates the lots. The system cannot recalculate closed lots. Changing a style can cause historical data to reflect slightly different data than future values.

You cannot delete a style if it is associated with a subordinate style.

Depending on business needs, you can limit the types of styles that the system displays for a specific blend facility.
