Understanding Harvests

A harvest is the usage of a block for a certain period. A harvest may occur multiple times a year, annually, or every few years. You must associate harvest records with a block.

A harvest represents a single instance of a crop grown on a block of land. Use harvest records to track operations performed against a crop, materials used in the growing cycle, anticipated yield, and accumulated costs associated with a crop. For example, grapes and apples have an annual growing period while other products such as avocados may be harvested monthly. You can define harvests as needed for the seasonality of the crop.

Within JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, a harvest record maintains specific information about the crop for a growing cycle.

This diagram illustrates the relationship of harvests with a block:

Each harvest has a unique ID that enables you to track and record all activities that are performed on that harvest. Key information that you can track for each harvest includes information such as block location, quality of the crop, operations conducted on the harvest, and ownership.

The system tracks activities performed on each harvest, such as:

• Associating a harvest record with a contract.

• Adding, maintaining, and terminating a block or harvest.

• Viewing harvest information.

• Estimating crop estimates and maturity.

• Closing harvests.

• Conducting quality checks to compare with standards.

• Tracking deliveries of the harvest to processing sites.

• Documenting spray activities that involve chemicals for government tracking.

• Identifying the EUR.

• Establishing a grower payment schedule.

• Documenting farming operations.
