Overview
Dispatch Out allows you to transfer bulk juice or wine out of the facility as a Bond-to-Bond transfer, a Transfer for Export, or a Tax-Paid Removal. The Dispatch Out workflow generates a Bill of Lading as a result.
The standard BOL will include basic information such as:
Date
Ship to and Ship from
Shipment Details (Lot Name, Volume, Tax Class, Transfer Type)
Basic Composition Details
Custom Tags and Carrier Info
Signature Area
Dispatch Out
Select the Wine Lot
To prepare a specific wine lot for transfer, select the lot by checking its corresponding checkbox.
For Bulk Wine, Blended allows only one Lot per BOL. When dispatching Case Goods, multiple SKUs can be dispatched at once.
Choose Dispatch Out from Operations
To initiate the transfer of the selected wine lot, select "Dispatch Out" from the Operations dropdown.
Complete the Dispatch Out Modal
Date and Volume
Specify the date and volume being dispatched. Blended will default to the current volume within the Lot. If you choose a volume less than the current volume, you will be prompted to determine whether to record the difference as a loss or keep it within Production. If you indicate a volume greater than the current volume, Blended will automatically record a corresponding inventory gain event.
Determine Dispatch Type
To categorize the wine transfer for regulatory purposes, define the dispatch type. Select "Remove Tax Paid" or "Remove for Export" from the dropdown menu if needed; otherwise, the system defaults to "Transfer In Bond." This ensures correct tax and compliance ramifications are applied.
TTB Reporting Alert
Your chosen dispatch type directly impacts TTB reporting; 'Remove Tax Paid' or 'Remove for Export' have specific regulatory consequences.
Provide Ship From and Ship To
Blended will automatically populate the Ship From details from your winery's settings page. Provide the Name, Bond, and Address of the destination winery.
Add Additional Transfer Information
To include any additional relevant details for the transfer, add custom tags or carrier information. Use the provided field to input specific information, such as seal numbers or barrel counts, to enhance the completeness of the transfer record.
Blended does not ship out vessels at this time. If you are shipping vessels, we recommend noting this information in the field.
Add Measurement, Additive and Detailed Composition
To customize the information included in the Bill of Lading (BOL), use the checkboxes to select the additional fields you need. By default, Blended generates a basic BOL with the fields listed above. You can include more details by checking any of the following options:
Measurements: Full measurement history
Additives: Full additive history
Composition: Detailed composition information
Add Notes
The notes field is an internal-only field. Text within this field will be captured in the event history but not displayed on the BOL.
Record and Generate BOL
When you are finished, click Record. This will automatically generate a BOL.
