the system to use Vistex status flow.

The statuses from the SAP status profile will appear on the Statuses tab. If the SAP status profile was

assigned an object type in the following configuration, that object type appears in the header of that

workbench.

The Vistex status profile contains a list of triggers, each of which starts the status flow it is linked to. For

example, you might attach one trigger to the standard flow and another trigger to an abbreviated flow.

As needed, an authorized user can manually change the trigger in the Status tab of the object

workbench to redirect the approval process from one flow to another. Business Script functionality also

can be used to change triggers conditionally.

Create any number of triggers and list them on the Flow tab. One trigger must be set as the default,

and all must be flagged as a User Entry. To attach a status flow to each trigger, either select from the

list of existing status flows or navigate to the Status Flow Workbench to create a new status flow.

4 Farm Management

A core component of the Vistex enterprise-class Agribusiness Suite, the Farm Management module

is a comprehensive and integrated business solution designed specifically for agro-industrial

companies, and to support the full life cycle of farm management operations. From planning and

planting, to growing and harvesting, Farm Management combines the day-to-day needs of field

managers, supervisors and workers with the analytical requirements of senior management.

▪ POWERFUL integrated solution to centralize ALL Farm Management processes

4.1 Farming Process

4.1.1 Definition

The Farming Process Work Bench is used to create and release agricultural process orders at terrain

level by crop and variant. This setup gives the user a full view of all the planned tasks required to

complete an agricultural process for each of the terrains. Simultaneously task orders can be created,

confirmed and technically complete. Additional to this flexibility the user may create unplanned orders

within the process when required due to unexpected events might take place in a normal agricultural

production process.

Master data that allows the processes to take place are materials, terrains, crop master, crop cycle,

crop season and variants.

FARM Management Is for the growers to operate the farm
