Understanding Maturity Date Calculations

Growers need information about the growth status or maturity of their crops so that they can determine when to pick or harvest the crop. You can define a maturity calculation that the system uses to calculate maturity dates and attach the calculation to a material type, grower block, or harvest.

To enable you to associate a maturity calculation with a material type, block, or harvest, you:

  • Set up a maturity calculation program.

  • Select the custom business function that performs the calculation.

  • Attach the program to the material type, block or harvest.

You can use two types of maturity dates—planned maturity and calculated maturity.
