Using the Harvest Workbench

This chapter provides an overview of the Harvest Workbench and discusses how to set processing options for Harvest Workbench (P40G032).

Understanding the Harvest Workbench

The Harvest Workbench application (P40G032) provides a single entry point for all of the applications that are available for managing harvest records and activities.

This section discusses:

• Harvest records.

• The Harvest Workbench header.

• The Harvest Workbench grid.

• The Select Record(s) field.

Harvest Records

A harvest is a representation of the block for a growing cycle. A harvest may occur multiple times a year, once a year, or once every few years. Within JD Edwards Grower Management, a harvest record maintains specific information about the harvest.

Throughout the growing cycle up through the picking of the crop, a number of activities, operations, and data collections occur that update the attributes of the harvest record. Typical growing activities include:

• Farming activities, such as tilling, planting, spraying, irrigating, pruning, and harvesting.

• Quality or product classification assessment.

• Crop estimation.

• Maturity assessment.

• Growing statistics, such as weather profiles.

You record these activities against one or more harvest records. These activities result in updates to attributes of the crop, or they can be used as a historical analysis to compare different growing techniques. For example, if you enter harvest operations, the harvest record displays the scheduled, completed, received, and remaining quantities for the harvest. If you use maturity date calculations, the system displays the planned and calculated maturity date for the harvest.

The Harvest Workbench Header

You use the fields in the header area of the Harvest Workbench to search for specific harvest records. You can search using either a basic search or an advanced search. The basic search provides a variety of fields that you can use to narrow your search for harvest records. The advanced search includes all of the fields that are available in the basic search plus additional fields to help you locate specific records.

You can toggle between the basic search and the advanced search by clicking the Advanced Search link or the Basic Search link as appropriate.

The Harvest Workbench Grid

You can perform various activities on the records that appear in the grid area of the Harvest Workbench based on the search criteria that you entered in the header area.

Each grid row contains links. This table explains the usage of each link:

The Select Record(s) Field

You can perform a variety of activities against one or more harvest records by selecting one or more harvest records in the grid, selecting an action in the Select Record(s) field, and clicking the double-arrow button. The actions that are listed in the Select Record(s) field vary depending on whether you have selected one record or multiple records. The actions that are listed also depend on whether you have selected a continuous harvest.

This table indicates which actions are available based on the selected records:

Multiple Continuous Harvests

If you select multiple continuous harvest records, the same list of actions is available as when you select multiple noncontinuous harvest records. When you select one of these actions with multiple continuous harvest records selected, the system summarizes the continuous harvest information. For example, suppose that you have a continuous harvest record with these estimates:

If you select this record on the Harvest Workbench and then select the Enter Continuous Harvest Estimates action, the system displays each of these estimates. If you select the continuous harvest record and one or more other records on the Harvest Workbench, the Enter Continuous Harvest Estimates action is not available. Instead, you select the Enter Harvest Estimates action. In this situation, the system displays one record for the continuous harvest with an estimate of 2,150.0000, which is the total of all of the estimates from the detailed view of the continuous harvest record.

Setting Processing Options for Harvest Workbench (P40G032)

Use these processing options to define default search information for the Harvest Workbench and to specify the versions of programs that the system calls from the Harvest Workbench.

Defaults

These processing options control default search information for the Harvest Workbench.

Versions

These processing options specify the versions of programs that the system calls from the Harvest Workbench. When you choose a version, review the version's processing options to ensure that the version meets your needs.

If you leave any of these processing options blank, the system uses version ZJDE0001 of the specified program.
