Blend

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management is a solution that addresses the production requirements of the agri-beverage industry. It focuses on tracking lot attributes from the source of supply through to the bottled finished product with a goal of driving process repeatability, label integrity, and award-winning results.

Blending is a complex process: each step must be monitored and facilitated by advanced technology. Use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system from Oracle to track and manage blocks and their yields, the receiving of grapes, processing and blending, and bulk receipts and transfers. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system enables you to customize and control blend facilities, lots, vessels, and operations.

The main components of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management are blend facilities, vessels, lot attributes, and configured operations. You can also perform quality assurance testing, as well as costing and accounting. You can also import blend-related information from other systems.

Grower Management

Companies in the Agribusiness industry can try to duplicate successful harvests by refining their growing processes to include identifying and repeating successful techniques. Techniques that are tracked and duplicated might include the sequence and types of operations performed, when each operation occurs, amount of agrochemicals that are applied to a crop, subsequent activities, and so forth. Tracking the estimated harvest and compare the estimates to the actual harvested amount is also a requirement.

Within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system from Oracle, you can create, maintain, plan, and analyze grower information. For example, you can:

• Manage attributes across blocks of land to provide increased productivity by quickly accessing critical data.
• Track the anticipated harvest estimate for each block of land.
• Roll up each activity cost into the total operational cost of the crop.
• Receive crops into internal processing facilities from internal or external farms and capture weight, grade, and quality results.
• Integrate crop contracts that are entered in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments to secure accurate crop pricing and adjustments.

Grower Pricing and Payments

Agribusiness companies that create and maintain contracts with growers, monitor the compliance of terms and conditions of the contract, and pay growers for their products in accordance with the contract terms, use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system from Oracle. Grower contracts include details such as contract terms and renewal extensions, payment terms, contract clauses, action dates for reminders of required signatures, responses, reviews, and amendments.

Throughout the growing cycle, you can review information online and in report format that shows payments that are due, payments that are coming due, and payments that have been issued thus far for a given contract or grower.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system provides a flexible payment schedule that enables you to pay multiple payees with multiple payment dates throughout the growing cycle. Payment terms and due date rules for payees can be set up for advance payments, interim payments, proceed payments, and final payments.

When you review the harvest receipts, you can waive penalties or bonuses or add adjustments to the final price. During the final settlement, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system generates final vouchers and issues payments to pay the remaining amount owed to payees, and amounts owed for assessments and deductions.

After the remaining amount owed on a contract is zero and you have created final payments, you submit a final settlement statement to the grower. Because the final settlement statement provides a "snapshot" in time, you can submit it with advance and interim payments as an interim statement.
