When you retrieve a blend, you are creating a new additional copy of that blend.
View an example of copying from Blend History (with screen shots)
You can retrieve a blend for a customer by opening a work order, loadout ticket, or an invoice belonging to the customer, from the customer account Blend History button, or by opening the Make a Blend window.
What you'll find:
Once a blend is retrieved, you can make a copy of the blend and:
keep the blend and its prices the same.
keep the blend the same but update the prices.
use the blend as a starting point for a new blend.
copy the farm field(s) associated with the blend.
Note
You cannot edit or retrieve blends that have no customer specified (since a customer would have been required to save a blend).
Note
Retrieving a blend (copying a blend from history) is different from Editing a blend. Retrieving a blend makes a new copy of the blend; editing a blend modifies an existing blend.
Depending on the blend you select to copy, the following may occur:
If
the original blend is linked to a farm field,
a message appears asking if you also want to copy over the farm field
information.
Click Yes to retain the link to the farm
field, or click No to drop it.
If
you adjusted actuals for the blend,
a message appears asking if you want to keep the original quantities
or use the adjusted quantities.
Click Yes to use the original quantities,
or click No to use the adjusted quantities.
If
the blend prices have changed since
the blend was made, a message appears asking if you want to recalculate
the blend price based on current prices.
Click Yes to recalculate, or click No to keep the blend prices the same.
If
you chose a blend from a different location,
a message appears asking if you want to recalculate the blend price
based on current prices (of the new location).
Click Yes to recalculate, or click No to keep the blend prices the same.
If
you chose a blend with additional products,
a message appears asking if you'd also like to copy the additional
products along with the blend.
Click Yes to also copy the additional
products, or click No to exclude them.
