Cellar accounting for wineries

1. What is a variety card?

A variety card is the documentation of inputs and outputs per variety broken down to suppliers and customers. SWK calls this documentation "variety cards".

The variety cards only have to be shown when the SWK inspector visits (1 time per year). They can thus be shown during the year and at any time.

2. Create variety card

The information of the variety card corresponds to the report element " Result by article per person ".

Create a new report set via Add Report set and add result by article per person via Add.

3. Configure variety card / report

A report is added for each article supercategory. The easiest way to do this is to copy a ready configured report. Via edit the desired article categories are assigned.

In the overview the different wines can be expanded to see which customer bought how much.

4. Customize columns

In the Edit dialog of the report switch to the Columns tab. Here you can add, move or remove columns. Via Reset, the default columns available in the respective report are restored.

For the variety card, the following columns can be removed:
No., Purchased, Revenue, Expense, Profit/Loss.

And the following can be added: Unit, Bottle size (cl) (custom field) and Custom. The custom column is configured in the next step.

5. Configure formula column

To display the total amount of wine sold in liters, a formula column is added. Via Add Custom a new custom column is created. Enter "Quantity total (l)" as the title.

In the Calculation field, the following operators + - / * can be used to perform the basic arithmetic operations. Use to show the drop-down menu for further calculation operators as well as columns / custom fields.

For the total quantity, the column Bottle size (cl) is to be multiplied by the number sold and divided by 100, so that the unit is converted from cl to liters.

The bottle size is selected via the dropdown, so there is no need to look up the $customField21 variable.

Et voilà, this is how the result looks like :-)

6. What does Form A contain?

Form A is prepared with the annual financial statements as of December 31. It contains the stock levels in liters, summarized by region (Switzerland) and country, and sorted by red, white, rosé and sparkling wine. Form A is submitted with the annual financial statements to SWK.

7. Create form A

In the inventory, go through all the categories and transfer the stocks to the form.  Or use the filters and add up all the products that way.

Of course, this is a workaround - we will offer a stock report in the future, so that the whole cellar accounting stock can be downloaded as a PDF or viewed in the reports.

8. What does Form B contain?

Form B contains as sole information the number of liters of wine sold per calendar year. Form B must also be submitted at the end of the year.

9. Create form B

This information can be taken directly from the variety card. To do this, simply extend the period of the report to the whole year and add up the quantities - done!
