How to Receive Fruit

The Receive Fruit action in InnoVint is your first step when bringing fruit weight into your facility. This step records time of arrival, weigh tag (see your weigh tag options here), weight, and composition details - vineyard, block, variety, and appellation - as determined by your Fruit Lot attributes.

• The Receive Fruit action can only be recorded on Fruit lots. If you do not already have a Fruit lot created in InnoVint, you can create a new Fruit lot code from within the Receive Fruit direct action or work order task.
• Each Receive Fruit action corresponds to one weigh tag. If you need multiple weigh tags, be sure to utilize multiple Receive Fruit actions. 
• The Receive Fruit action can be recorded on the same Fruit lot multiple times.

How to Receive Fruit without a Weigh Tag

** This method is only recommended if you have the Advanced Receive Fruit system activated and do not want to generate a weigh tag number in InnoVint. Without the Advanced Receive Fruit system, we recommend receiving fruit via the method outlined above for Simple Receive Fruit.

Use the Fruit Weight Adjustment action to receive fruit on a created Fruit lot without a weigh tag.

 

Edit/Delete/Void a Weigh Tag

The Receive Fruit action not only records the total weight received on each Fruit lot (to populate the Fruit Intake Report), but it also tracks the total fruit received per vineyard block. To adjust the weight on this report or to correct a mistake on an InnoVint-generated weigh tag, changes need to be made on the Receive Fruit action.

Simple Receive Fruit action

To correct a mistake, the Receive Fruit action may be edited, or deleted and re-recorded. Find out about how to edit an action here. To delete the Receive Fruit action, no other movement actions (e.g. process to gallons/tons) may be recorded after it, or they will need to be deleted first. At the top of the Action details page, click on View dependent actions list to see what actions will need to be deleted before you can delete and re-enter the Receive Fruit action.

If editing or deleting the Receive Fruit action is not possible, we recommend recording a Weight Transfer or Weight Adjustment to amend the tonnage outside of the Receive Fruit action. Or simply leaving a note on the action of the correct weight if the lot has since been pressed. Weight transfers/adjustments do NOT adjust weights in the Fruit Intake Report, which reflects the record on the Receive Fruit action. 

Advanced Receive Fruit action

While a Receive Fruit action created with Advanced Receive Fruit activated may be edited or deleted, editing or deleting the action will generate a new weigh tag number for the fruit receipt. The original weigh tag number from an edited or deleted action will be marked as Void.

Any new weigh tags will continue to be numbered in sequential order following the last created weigh tag.

You can find all weigh tags, including any voided weigh tags in the Fruit Intake Report (clear the Voided filter in order to surface voided weigh tags).
