Each Location set up in Agvance may determine the Accuracy and Tolerance for each nutrient when Price by is set to Guaranteed Analysis. This controls how the Guaranteed Analysis displays on the Consolidated Blend, Custom App, State Fertilizer Tag, and Invoice (when importing a Blend Ticket).
Setup
Setup the Accuracy and Tolerance on the Print Prefs tab at Blending / Setup / Location Preferences. These are set for each nutrient. When setting up this area, it is recommended to check with the state for specific accuracy and tolerances as each state may vary.
The Guaranteed Analysis is truncated based on the decimal Accuracy set. The following formula is used to calculate the result.
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis + Tolerance = Result truncated to defined Accuracy
Below are various examples for the accuracy to the whole number, to the tenth, and to the hundredth.
Whole Number
Scenario One
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.4
- Tolerance – 0
- Result – 4.4 + 0 = 4.4
- 4.4 is truncated to 4
Scenario Two
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.4
- Tolerance – .5
- Result – 4.4 + .5 = 4.9
- 4.9 is truncated to 4
Scenario Three
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.5
- Tolerance – .5
- Result – 4.5 + .5 = 5.0
- 5.0 is truncated to 5
Tenths Number
Scenario One
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.24
- Tolerance – 0
- Result – 4.24 + 0 = 4.24
- 4.24 is truncated to 4.2
Scenario Two
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.24
- Tolerance – .05
- Result – 4.24 + .05 = 4.29
- 4.29 is truncated to 4.2
Scenario Three
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.25
- Tolerance – .05
- Result – 4.25 + .05 = 4.30
- 4.30 is truncated to 4.3
Hundredths Number
Scenario One
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.204
- Tolerance – 0
- Result – 4.204 + 0 = 4.204
- 4.204 is truncated to 4.20
Scenario Two
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.204
- Tolerance – .005
- Result – 4.204 + .005 = 4.209
- 4.209 is truncated to 4.20
Scenario Three
- Calculated Guaranteed Analysis – 4.205
- Tolerance – .005
- Result – 4.205 + .005 = 4.210
- 4.210 is truncated to 4.21
