Blend Management

One of the key processes in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management requires mixing additive substances into a blend to achieve a desired effect. For example, when you blend wine, you can mix in malic acid to influence the flavor.

You set up additives in the system with Item Master and Item Branch records. When you set up these records, you can define operational and cumulative maximum and minimum thresholds for the active ingredients of any blend additive. The system uses the operational threshold value to evaluate the extended ingredient amount for the current operation. The cumulative threshold applies to the PPM quantity for the accumulated additives for an operation.

If the operational or cumulative ingredient quantity exceeds the maximum and minimum threshold for an active operation, the system issues a warning. If the ingredient quantity exceeds the threshold for actual and closed operations, the system issues an error. For either comparison, the system retrieves the threshold values from the Item Branch table.
