Harvest Unit of Measure Versus Operation Unit of Measure

Two programs are used to set up default units of measure. You use the Grower Cost Center Defaults program (P40G002) to define default units of measure (00/UM) for harvest records. You use the Winery Constants program (P31B13) to define default units of measure (31B/UM) for operations. If the area unit of measure differs between the programs, you must add a standard unit of measure conversion in the Unit of Measure Conversion program (P41003).

For example, you measure the area of your harvests in hectares. You apply a pesticide using a spray operation by the acre. Therefore, you must add a conversion to convert one hectare to 2.471053815 acres.

The system requires special handling codes when converting the units of measure. For example:

Type of Measure	Example	Special Handling Code
Area	Acre, hectare, square mile	A
Distance	Meter, mile, kilometer, yard	D
Volume	Bottles, cubic feet, liters, gallons	V
Temperature	Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin	T
Weight	Kilograms, pounds, tons	W
