You can print Blend Batch Sheet reports for any blend (customer or calculator only).
Notes
You can also print this report from the
Reports submenu in the Blending
menu or from the Reports menu.
Default settings (e.g. which boxes are checked) are defined by
the blend type.

To complete the Batch Sheet tab for a non-volumetric blend type
Click the Batch Sheet tab.
Select the Show Notes? check box if you want to display the blend notes (set up in the Blend Notes tab) on the Blend Batch Sheet reports.
Select the Show Percentages? check box if you want to display the blend product percentages on the Blend Batch Sheet reports.
Select
Show Field Map(s) if you want to display
a map of the field(s) that the blend will be spread on.
A map will display only if the field
has been linked to one.
Click
Change Batch Settings and choose a different
blend type if you want to print it using the batch sheet settings
of a different blend type.
For example, your location has two blenders, one scaled and one volumetric.
A blend was calculated and saved using the scaled blend type, but
now you want to loadout that blend from the volumetric blender instead
(maybe the scaled blender is unavailable at the moment). Click Change Batch Settings and select the volumetric
blender. The batch sheet tab will display the default settings from
the volumetric blend type that you can modify and then print the batch
sheet.
Note
Changing the batch settings affects only
the batch sheet.
If you originally calculated the blend with a blend charge, and
are now choosing to print the batch sheet using a blend type that
has no blend charge, when you save the blend the blend charge
would still apply.
If you initially calculated the blend with drys and select a liquid
blend type, no products in the blend will change; the batch sheet
will display with 46-0-0 and 11-52-0.
If you select a blend type from a different location than the one
used to make the blend, agrē will ask you to confirm your choice.
No matter which location's blend type you select here, product
used to make the blend will still be taken from the location selected
on the Blend Setup tab.
In the Qty box, optionally change the quantity of batches.
Select the Force Equal Batches check box if you want to force equal batches of the blend.
In the Max Batch Size box, optionally change the maximum size of batches that can be made.
Select
the Show Worksheet? check box if you
want a specified area to write down the blend actuals.
Due to space limitations on the reports, if you have more than 6 products
in the blend, the worksheet is unavailable (the check box is automatically
cleared).The Show Worksheet check box
is not available for volumetric (rpm) blends.
Click
Run Batch Sheet.
The Blend Batch Sheet report opens.
Click
Print.
A message appears confirming your printing settings. If needed, change
the settings.
Click
OK.
The Blend Batch Sheet report is printed.
To complete the Batch Sheet tab for a volumetric blend type
Click
the Batch Sheet tab.
If you do not have bins specified for one or more products in the blend,
a warning message appears.
Select the Show Notes check box if you want to display the blend notes (set up in the Blend Notes tab) on the Blend Batch Sheet reports.
Select the Show Percentages? check box if you want to display the blend product percentages on the Blend Batch Sheet reports.
Select
Show Field Map(s) if you want to display
a map of the field(s) that the blend will be spread on.
A map will display only if the field
has been linked to one.
Batches sub-tab
Optionally
change Force Equal Batches to accommodate
desired batch sizes.
This setting overrides the same setting in the blend
type being used.
In
the Max Batch Size box, optionally change
the maximum size of batches that will be calculated.
This setting overrides the same setting in the blend
type being used. The maximum batch size is usually the capacity
of the vehicle/container into which the blend is being loaded.
Bins sub-tab
In
the Maximum Speed box, optionally change
the maximum dial setting (rpm) that is allowed
by your blender.
This setting overrides the same setting in the blend
type being used. When agrē calculates the batch settings, it takes
the maximum speed setting into consideration and does not assign a
dial setting higher than this number. Changing the speed will likely
affect the Duration on the Batches sub-tab.
Note
If any of the bins have been setup to Adjust
Dial Settings it is possible that an adjusted bin Speed
may exceed the Maximum Speed.
If the Speed for any bin exceeds the Maximum Speed (for example,
999), the Maximum Speed must be decreased manually until all bin
Speeds are less than 999.
Optionally uncheck Use next to any Bins not required or not available.
Click
Run Batch Sheet.
The Blend Batch Sheet report opens.
Click

A message appears confirming your printing settings. If needed, change
the settings.

OK.
The Blend Batch Sheet report is printed.
