Farm Management
Introduction to Farm Management
Definition
Vistex Farm Management module is a comprehensive, integrated business solution designed

specifically for agro-industrial companies to support the full lifecycle of farm operations.
With a tool set that enables efficient day-to-day management, and meets the needs of top
managers, Farm Management covers the crop lifecycle, compliance and harvest operations,
and provides critical data and analytics. No agricultural software brings field and
management closer together, enables operational efficiency as effectively or provides as
much business insight.
Embedded in SAP ERP, Farm Management centralizes data execution from the many
different agriculture processes and automatically generates controlling, quality, planning
and maintenance information. Eliminating the ongoing challenge of costly and inconsistent
data entry, Farm Management empowers management to set common goals and establish a
shared vision through the interpretation of real-time synchronized data, while increasing
end user productivity.
Farm Management centralizes the following processes:
PUBLIC
Purpose
Utilizing SAP ECC to gather and capture non-aggregated data, Farm Management
centralizes data execution from the many different agriculture processes and automatically
generates controlling, quality, planning and maintenance information. Eliminating the
ongoing challenge of costly and inconsistent data entry, Farm Management empowers
management to set common goals and establish a shared vision through the interpretation
of real-time synchronized data, while increasing end user productivity. No other agricultural
software brings field and mobility together, connects back-office operations or provides such
in-depth analytics.
PUBLIC
Benefits of Farm Management
Designed specifically for Agribusiness, Farm Management provides the following benefits:
• Integration with SAP ECC and complete insights into complex supply chain contracts
throughout planning, contracting and execution cycles, coupled with comprehensive
analytical capabilities
• A single solution with fully integrated processes, eliminating the need for disparate
data
• A single platform database and server, where all processes are centrally managed
and accessible, ensuring data integrity
• A versatile architecture capable of supporting various crop production cycles,
including mono-crop, multi-crop and crop rotation with differing planning, planting
and harvest requirements
• Field and activity specific task management – plan, execute and performance
analyze each field activity
• Planning tools that factor resource challenges typical in agribusiness such as
processing plant capacity, land availability, machinery, labor and supplies
• Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) technology capable of detailed tracking from
initial seeding to grocer’s shelf
• Automated irrigation functionality for mass irrigation processes
• Chemical Application Tracking (CAT) tools that exceed regulatory compliance needs
and give growers extensive visibility over the chemical application process and
results
• Compliance with all the requirements of senior management through a complete
controlling model to handle all kind of crop term cycles fully integrated with
agricultural operations, representing less operational work and agile close end period
(controlling wise)
• Extensive reporting options including SAP BusinessObjects reports and dashboards.

Irrigation
Irrigation Infrastructure Introduction
Definition
Data Maintenance Irrigation Infrastructure for Vistex Agribusiness Suite allows you to
create, change, and display the equipment required for irrigation activities, the
measurements and terrains related to it.
The Irrigation Infrastructure application includes the following components:
• Irrigation Infrastructure Attributes:

• Attribute Workbench
• Attribute Group Workbench
• Irrigation Infrastructure Maintenance:
• Irrigation Infrastructure Workbench
• Irrigation Requirements Monitor
Purpose
Perform irrigation activities implies the use of diverse equipment like weather stations,
measurement equipment, pumps, sprinklers among others.
Irrigation infrastructure application eases data maintenance, providing full visibility of all the
equipment related to irrigation activities, the terrains that belongs to their area of influence,
business unit, cost center, and the measures to be capture, using a single workbench
without having to navigate to multiple screens and transactions.
This data helps to control weather conditions and costs distribution; is also the base for
hydro balance calculations, to monitor optimal moisture and humidity conditions of the
fields.

Data Maintenance Irrigation Infrastructure for Vistex Agribusiness Suite provides the
following benefits:
• Create, change and display basic data of the irrigation infrastructure.
PUBLIC
• Define the type of equipment to be created within the irrigation infrastructure.

• Allocate the equipment in a cost center.
• Assign the terrains that belong to the area of influence of the equipment. If only a
percentage of the area of the field is into the coverage of the equipment, this
percentage can be define in the irrigation infrastructure.
• Define the attributes to be measured with the equipment.
• Facilitate costs distribution of irrigation activities.
• Define the plants or business units where the equipment can be used.
• Serve as foundation for further irrigation processes, like weather conditions control,
hydro balance calculation and generation of irrigation orders.
• Search irrigation infrastructure using diverse selection parameters.

Crops and Process Scheme
Definition
The Crops and Process Scheme is an interactive method that allows the functional
consultant to assign a previous scale configuration to the received crops at weighbridge.
Based on the logistical operations at the reception area, several crops could have different
requirements in order to facilitate the next operation at packing plant, for example, the
received quantity must be posted in quality stock or unrestricted stock. Moreover, aspects
such as who is the owner of the fruit (third party grower or belongs to the company), are
key conditions that define the input objects, such as purchase orders or production orders,
that are defined into the process definition.
The required scale configuration is as follows:
• Scale Settings
Enables the creation of document types with the validation subroutines that will be
taken into account by the program during the fruit reception at weighbridge.
• Set Process Definition

leveling, sub soiling, plowing, furrowing, hole digging, sowing, pest monitoring. For
short production cycles, the planting process can be executed several times in the
same season, but for medium and long production cycles it may be executed only
once during the season.

weighing of the produce, and the scale ticket creation to confirm and complete the
harvest process. Associated with a scale weighing process that transfers the yard
material into a receiver material for further processing or transformation plant
process.
Produce Type: Crop specie.
Production Cycle: Agricultural production cycle or production period that takes a seed to
become a crop/produce. There are three production cycles represented in the
system: Short cycle (vegetables, cereals, grains), Medium cycle (sugar cane,
bananas, papaya), and Long cycle (fruits, vineyards, pineapple, coffee).
