Internal Versus External Ownership

A weigh tag is internally owned unless you select the External Ownership check box on the Edit Weigh Tag Master form. When you close the weigh tag, the system generates a purchase order. The Grower Weigh Tag program (P40G0700) calls a different version of the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) depending on the ownership. You should set up two versions that reference different line types:

• Internal ownership: Use a line type that interfaces with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable.

• External ownership: Use a line type that does not interface with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable.

The reason for having the versions use different line types is when a harvest is internally owned, the company pays for it. Harvests that are externally owned are purchased by an outside entity and should not interface with accounts payable. After you create the first weigh tag for a harvest, additional weigh tags use the same purchase order and therefore use the same line type.

For example, you create a weigh tag that is internally owned. When you close the weigh tag, the system generates a purchase order using line type S. You create another weigh tag, for the same harvest record, the External Ownership check box is disabled and displays the value of the initial receipt. When you close the weigh tag, the system adds another line to the purchase order using the same line type used on the initial receipt. In this example, the system uses line type S. When you have a harvest record that is partially owned by an external entity, you should use the harvest suffix to create unique harvest records.
