### Pull Weigh Tags and State Reporting Data from the Fruit Intake Report

1. Go to *Reporting*, click **Fruit Intake** under Activity Reports
2. User the filters at the top to sort by vintage, varietal, vineyard, and other attributes.
3. Total tons are provided at the top of the report.
4. Export, as needed
5. Learn more about the **Fruit Intake** report and the *CA Grape Crush* report [here](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/205606335-fruit-intake-report?hsLang=en).

### Remove Outstanding Weight from Fruit Lots

1. Go to your *Vineyard Explorer*, click the **Fruit Lots** tab at the top 
     - You may find a fruit lot or two with unprocessed tons - whether they were a data entry error or purposely left unprocessed, now is the time to remove that excess tonnage from inventory. We address this type of clean up in more detail [here](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/clean-up-your?hsLang=en). To take care of it quickly, just click on the lot code to go to the *Fruit lot details* page.  
           - Click **Record action** in the upper right-hand corner and select [Fruit Weight Adjustment](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/360006618412-weight-and-volume-adjustments-for-undeclared-fruit-or-juice?hsLang=en). 
                   - Adjust the weight to 0 tons and click **Record Fruit Weigh Adjustment**
                   - This adjustment changes *Part IV, Column (a), Line 8 (Uncrushed pounds removed)* on your TTB 5120.17 report. It does not adjust the received tonnage on your weigh tags or the [Fruit Intake Report](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/205606335-fruit-intake-report?hsLang=en).
                   - This action will leave cost on the now empty fruit lot. If you have FINANCE and use COGS Tracking, please check in with your finance or accounting team to adjust this as required.

### Declare or Edit Tax Class

#### Tax Class Declaration Worksheet

Use the worksheet to declare everything at the same time, as of today's date.

1. Go to your *Report Explorer* and select [Tax class declaration](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/207936576-declare-or-edit-tax-class#report) under *Compliance Reports*
2. Using the alcohol result as a guide, select the correct tax class from the Tax Class dropdown menu next to each lot.  
     - If the selected tax class doesn't match the last alcohol reading, you will see a warning message on the right.
3. Once the correct tax class is selected, click **Set Tax Class** 
     - Using the Tax class declaration worksheet sets the tax class as of today's date and time

#### Backdate or Edit a Tax Class Declaration

If you need to backdate a tax class declaration (how is it January already!??) you can do that via the Lot details page. 

1. Go to the Lot details page and click the blue pencil next to Tax Class
2. Set the new tax class E*ffective at:* **Previous date** and click **Change tax class**
3. This change will appear as a recorded action in the lot's recent history.  
     - If you make a mistake, select the action from the *Lot history* or from your *Winery Activity Feed* and click **Delete action** in the upper right-hand corner.

### Adjust Juice/Wine Volume On Hand

1. Go to the **Lot Explorer**
2. Select the juice or wine lot to go to the lot details page
3. Click *Record Action* in the upper right
4. Select the **Volume Adjustment** action from the dropdown menu
5. Record the action
6. Volume Adjustments to lots that have a tax class of *In Fermenters* will populate the 5120.17 TTB report on *Page 2, Part VII - In Fermenters End of Period, Column (a), Line 1*.
7. Learn more about volume adjustments to juice [here](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/360006618412-weight-and-volume-adjustments-for-undeclared-fruit-or-juice?hsLang=en).

### Generate the TTB 5120.17 Report

1. Go to your *Report Explorer* and select [TTB 5120.17](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/209726993-generate-and-download-the-ttb-5120-17-report?hsLang=en) under *Compliance Reports*
2. Select the bond number you're running the report for and the date range desired, then click **Download the 5120.17**.
3. Have questions? Generate the [TTB Audit Report](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/understanding-the-ttb-audit-report?hsLang=en) to see how we're populating your report.

#### Before you file, remember:

1. Make sure that you complete Section B: Bottled Wines with any additional information (if Case Goods Management is *not* activated)
2. Complete the Header. InnoVint has the ability to complete the Operated By, EIN, and Registry Number fields (email us if you don't see this information and would like it to export for you). Since our export offers custom date ranges we require you to fill in the left part of the header: Period Covered and Version.
3. Don't forget to sign and date the bottom of Page 2!

Please print additional copies and retain them for your physical records.

### Pull Activity Reports (relevant to compliance)

1. Go to *Reporting*
2. Please find the following reports under *Activity Reports* at the top. All reports may be exported to a csv file as needed.

- [Win](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000258166-winery-activity-feed?hsLang=en)[ery](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000258166-winery-activity-feed?hsLang=en)[Activity Feed](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000258166-winery-activity-feed?hsLang=en) - to pull a transaction report of activity over a period of time
- [Bottlings](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000028666-bottling-report?hsLang=en) - to pull bottling records, including bottled volume vs gains/losses over a period of time
- Inventory at Point in Time - to pull bulk inventory by tax class as of a specific date and time (this report is only available at MAKE-Plus subscription levels)

### Lock Backdating

*\*\*The Lock Backdating function can only be set by account Admins*.

1. Go to *Settings*, select [Lock Backdating](https://support.innovint.us/hc/en-us/articles/360020396351-winery-activity-lock-backdating?hsLang=en)
2. Set a new date to lock winery activity. 
     - *No one* can enter backdated actions before that lock date.

### FAQ

**Q: What if I need to pull a report of lots by a tax class other than under or over 16%? Example: under or over 14%?**

A: Pull an Inventory at Point in Time report and export the report. Included in the export, you'll find a column for "Alcohol at time of." Sort your results ascending or descending to easily find lots above and below a certain alcohol. You can also consider running the State Compliance by Bond Report, which automatically displays lots grouped by \<14%,14-16% and \>16% tax class thresholds. This is not a point in time report and must be run as of the day of period close.
