Creating a Farm

Enter a short description that uniquely identifies a farm.
- Farm Name
Enter the name of the farm.
- Farm Number
Enter an existing address book number for the farm. When you enter an existing address book number, the system populates the fields on the Address tab. If you leave this field blank, the system supplies a system-generated address book number.

- Grower Composition Code
Enter a user-defined code (UDC) (40G/GC) that specifies the grower composition.

- Geographic ID
Enter a UDC (40G/GI) that represents the grower's geographic ID.
- Growing Area
Enter the geographic location of the farm. Geographic area definitions are used in the appellation and growing area hierarchies to determine composition information. Geographic area can be defined as a country or a region within the country, such as a state or province, or a small area within a region, based on the desired level of specificity. Values are set up in the Set Geographic Area and Relationship program (P31B37).
- Appellation
Enter the appellation of the farm. The appellation is the area that is the next larger designation above the district. Values are set up in the Set Geographic Area and Relationship program (P31B37). Appellation is the official geographic area determined by the relevant authorities. For example, in the wine industry, the relevant authorities would be the American Viticultural Areas (AVA) and the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation (AWBC).
- Region
Enter a UDC (40G/GR) that represents the growing region.
- District
Enter a UDC (40G/GD) that represents the district where the farm is located. The district is the area that is the next larger designation above a block.
- Cost Center
Specify the grower cost center that is associated with the farm. The system displays the default cost center if it is set up on the Default Printers & Locations form. After you create a farm record, you cannot revise the cost center.
