Setup: Add Barrel Profile

Barrel Profiles in DISTILL x 5 are built to identify the wooden cooperage Types and Sizes users will Fill using Dx5 Barrel Actions. To create a new Barrel Profile in DISTILL x 5:

• Navigate to Operations > Setup.
• Click Setup Actions > +Add Barrel Profile from the top-right corner of the page. 
  
• Within the Add Barrel Profile form, complete the required fields:
  • Barrel Profile Name: A Name of "New/Used Barrel" can be entered, but a more granular Barrel Profile name is preferred. Ex: New American Oak Char #3, Used French Merlot Barrel, etc. 
  • Supplier: A selection here is required, however this selection does not communicate anywhere else in Dx5 (ex: Purchase Orders). Feel welcome to make any Supplier selection to complete the requirement. 
  • Cooperage Type: Select the most appropriate Type from the drop-down list; if unknown "Plain" can be selected. 
    
  • Size/Unit: Enter the applicable Barrel Profile Sizes as needed. Additional Sizes can be added to this Profile using +Add Another. 
    • Note: Dx5 Barrel Profiles allow for 20% Overfill. Ex: a 53gal Barrel Profile Size can hold 63.6 Gallons total. 
      

Click Save Barrel Profile when finished to add the new Barrel Profile to Dx5. Empty Barrels must be added to Dx5 before users can begin Filling via Barrel Actions. A quick how-to on Adding Empty Barrels can be reviewed here: Setup: Add Empty Barrels (Read Time: 1 min).
