Understanding Frozen Harvest Estimates

This diagram illustrates the harvest estimate freeze process:

You may want to freeze the harvest estimates, which takes a snapshot of the expected yield of the selected harvest records. During the growing process yields may change due to adverse weather conditions, or be reassigned to another EUR based on supply and demand. Periodically freezing the harvest estimates enables you to compare changes to estimates throughout the entire growing process.

As these harvest estimates change, you periodically revise and freeze harvest estimates to take a snapshot of the expected yields. You can also keep a historical record of changing estimates.

The system enables you to freeze one or more harvest estimates at the EUR level. You can use the freeze to run reports or views to see what the supply looks like on a certain date, and to compare against future supply or actual supply.

You must use a unique freeze name if at least one frozen EUR record exists for that harvest. There are two steps in freezing harvest estimates:1. The first step is to 2.

1. Take a snapshot of the desired data. To do this you run the R40G032 program.

2. After you run the R40G032 program, inquire on the snapshot data and, if desired, make updates to the frozen estimates.
