Understanding the Relationship Among Contracts, Blocks, and Harvests

A one-for-one relationship exists between these components:

• Contract block and grower block.

• Contract harvest and grower harvest.

When you add a contract block and contract harvest, the system uses information from the grower block and grower harvest created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system.

A contract can have only one header record; however, it can have multiple blocks and harvests. You can add the same block to multiple contracts, although this would probably occur only if you renegotiated a contract and wanted to create an additional contract and retain the block from the previous contract.

The following table shows the different types of information that appear on a contract. As the table indicates, the system passes default values for general information, clauses, and payment schedules from the contract header to the contract block to the contract harvest. The system passes the default values for pricing and assessments and donations from the contract block to the contract harvest. You can override the default values and update information based on the form that you access:

Type of Information	Contract Header	Contract Block	Contract Harvest
General Information	x	x	x
Clauses	x	x	x
Pricing		x	x
Assessments and Donations		x	x
Payment Schedule	x	x	x
