Creating a Block

Access the Add/Edit Grower Block form.

Farm Code

Enter the farm code that is associated with the block. The farm code is optional. Associating a farm with a block supplies default information to the following fields:

  • Grower Composition Code

  • Grower Representative

  • Blend Representative

  • Contract Representative

  • Cost Center

  • Geographic ID

  • Growing Area

  • Appellation

  • Region

  • District

  • Crush Site

  • Produced Site

  • Container Type

  • Quantity Per Load

You can override these fields or you can enter values manually if no farm is attached to the block.

Block Code

Enter a unique identifier for the block.

Block Name

Enter the name of the block that represents a small parcel of land within a larger entity.

Block Type

Select a code representing the type of block. For example:

  • External

  • Internal

  • Other

Supplier Number

Enter the address book number of the supplier. The supplier provides the crop to your company. Typically, the supplier is a grower of the crop. The system uses the supplier when creating the purchase order from harvest or weigh tag operations.

Cost Center

Enter the cost center that is responsible for activities on the block. This cost center defaults on the purchase order.

Item Number

Enter the item number representing the crop that is planted in this block. The system retrieves the item description and costs based on the item number.

Block Status

Enter the status of the block. For example:

  • Active

  • Inactive

Variety Code

Enter a value that represents the variety code that is associated with the block. You set up values in the Variety Master program (P31B38).

See Setting Up Varieties.

Current Quality

Enter a UDC (40G/QL) that represents the current quality for the block.

Target Quality

Enter a UDC (40G/QL) that represents the target quality for the block.

Harvest Pattern

Enter a UDC (40G/HP) that represents the harvest pattern for the crop that you are growing on the block. The harvest pattern is used as a default and can be overridden on the block before it is saved. If you use crop rotation, you must create a blank value in UDC table 40G/HP.

Material Type

Enter a value that uniquely identifies a material type that is associated with the block. You set up values in the Material Type Revisions program (P31B04).
