### JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system from Oracle is used by agribusiness companies to 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. 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 that explain changes that were made to the contract.

Throughout the harvest 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 harvest cycle. Payment terms and due date rules for payees can be set up for advance payments, interim 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, final vouchers are generated and payments are issued to pay the remaining amount that is owed to payees, as well as amounts that are owed for assessments and deductions.

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

Procurement

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system from Oracle is used to create purchase orders when you close weigh tags in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system. The purchase orders are closed out in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Pricing and Payments system during the final settlement process.

Grower Management

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system from Oracle is used to track crops from cultivation to harvest.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management enables you to set up and maintain farms, blocks, and harvest records. A farm consists of one or more blocks that grow the crop harvest that is then supplied to the processing entity. Adding farms in the system is optional. The system uses some of the attributes that are assigned to a farm as defaults for a block that is associated with the farm. Farms are often defined by their physical geographical boundaries.

Accounts Payable

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system from Oracle is used to set up payment terms and due date rules, as well as generate vouchers and payments.
