Vinification lifecycle

A vinification document moves through three statuses: Processing, Released and Closed. Four actions on the Vinification card move it between these states.

   Processing  ──Release──▶  Released  ──Close──▶  Closed
       ▲                        │                     │
       ├───Reopen released──────┘                     │
       │                                              │
       └──────────────Reopen closed───────────────────┘

All four actions are available in the Release split-button on the Vinification card and are enabled only for the status they apply to.

Release

Available when: Status = Processing.

Choose Release to post the consumption and output entries for all vinification phases.

What happens:

  1. If output items require lot tracking, the Lot Assignment window opens so you can distribute the output quantities across lot numbers.
  2. The system creates the wine treatment production orders — one per relevant phase (vinification, fermentation, wine production, cellar surplus and, for white wines, coal treatment), using the reason codes from Setup.
  3. The document status changes to Released and the document becomes locked.

After release, the Wine Treatments section appears on the card.

Reopen released

Available when: Status = Released.

Choose Reopen released to undo the release. The system reverses all posted entries and deletes the wine treatment production orders, returning the status to Processing so you can make corrections.

Close

Available when: Status = Released.

Choose Close to finalise the vinification. The system verifies that all wine treatment production orders have been posted. If so, the status changes to Closed and no further modifications are allowed.

If some treatments are not yet posted, closing is not allowed — post the outstanding treatments first.

Reopen closed

Available when: Status = Closed.

Choose Reopen closed to revert a closed vinification. The system reverses all consumption and output entries generated by the wine treatments, sets the wine treatment production orders to Finished state, and the status returns to Processing so you can make corrections.

Wine Treatments section

Once a vinification is released, the Wine Treatments part shows the production orders in a tree structure:

LevelShows
TreatmentThe wine treatment (production order) for a phase, with its reason code and status.
Prod. Order LineThe production order line(s) under a treatment.
ComponentThe materials consumed and produced by the treatment.

Displayed details include the Production Order No., Reason Code, Description, Item No., quantities, unit of measure, location, due date and the Prod. Order Status.

Use the Wine Treatments navigation action to open the full-page list, or the Wine Treatments subform embedded on the card.

Other navigation actions

ActionPurpose
Statistics (F7)Opens the vinification statistics with total consumed and produced quantities from item ledger entries.
Item Ledger EntriesShows all item ledger entries (consumption, output, transfers) generated by this vinification, for auditing and traceability.
Wine TreatmentsOpens the wine treatment production orders created for this vinification and their posting status.

Posting wine treatments

The individual wine treatment production orders are posted using the standard EOS WINE treatment posting pages. The Tracking Lines part on those pages shows the lot tracking (Lot No. and Quantity Base) for full traceability. Once all treatments are posted you can Close the vinification.
