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 Blending / Setup / Location Preferences / Print Prefs tab. 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 Accuracy
Scenario One
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.4
Tolerance - 0
Accuracy - Whole Numbers
Result - 4.4 + 0 = 4.4; 4.4 is truncated to 4
Scenario Two
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.4
Tolerance - .5
Accuracy - Whole Numbers
Result - 4.4 + .5 = 4.9; 4.9 is truncated to 4
Scenario Three
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.5
Tolerance - .5
Accuracy - Whole Numbers
Result - 4.5 + .5 = 5.0; 5.0 is truncated to 5
Tenths Number Accuracy
Scenario One
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.24
Tolerance - 0
Accuracy - Tenths Numbers
Result - 4.24 + 0 = 4.24; 4.24 is truncated to 4.2
Scenario Two
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.24
Tolerance - .05
Accuracy - Tenths Numbers
Result - 4.24 + .05 = 4.29; 4.29 is truncated to 4.2
Scenario Three
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.25
Tolerance - .05
Accuracy - Tenths Numbers
Result - 4.25 + .05 = 4.30; 4.30 is truncated to 4.3
Hundredths Number Accuracy
Scenario One
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.204
Tolerance - 0
Accuracy - Hundredths Numbers
Result - 4.204 + 0 = 4.204; 4.204 is truncated to 4.20
Scenario Two
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.204
Tolerance - .005
Accuracy - Hundredths Numbers
Result - 4.204 + .005 = 4.209; 4.209 is truncated to 4.20
Scenario Three
Calculated Guaranteed Analysis - 4.205
Tolerance - .005
Accuracy - Hundredths Numbers
Result - 4.205 + .005 = 4.210; 4.210 is truncated to 4.21
