Commodity Transfer Customers Setup

The Commodity Transfer Customer setup is the default Source Location, Destination Location, and the Miscellaneous G/L Account automatically associated with the Scale Ticket when created for Commodity Transfers. These are pseudo customers that are selected at the time the Scale Ticket is created. When grain is moved from one location to another, a Scale Ticket is usually created. To move the Scale Ticket information to the Commodity Transfer, a little setup is required to make it an easy process.

In Grain Scale Interface, navigate to Setup / Commodity Transfer Customers.

• Customer – Double-click to select the pseudo customer for whom Scale Tickets will be entered as a Commodity Transfer.
• Source Location – Double-click to select a location to be the Source Location on the Commodity Transfer.
• Destination Location – Double-click to select a location to be the Destination Location on the Commodity Transfer.
• Misc. Income/Exp – Double-click to select a general ledger account to be the Misc Income/Expense account on the Commodity Transfer.

How to Use the Commodity Transfer Option on a Scale Ticket

1. In the Hub, set up a customer to represent each possible location transfer option to be used. Example: Customer East2West would represent a transfer from East location to West location.
2. In Scale Interface / Setup / Commodity Transfer Customer, double-click in the Customer column of the grid to select the customer.
3. Double-click in the Source Location and the Destination Location to select the locations. In the above example, Source would be East and Destination would be West.
4. Optionally, a Misc. Income/Exp general ledger account may be selected to assign the value difference from the Source to Destination. An example is a Freight account if the difference in transfer prices is Freight Charges.
5. When a Scale Ticket is added, select the customer representing the Commodity Transfer and in the Type, select Commodity Transfer. An Assembly is not required for the Commodity Transfer to be saved. Fill in the remaining required information on the Scale Ticket and select Save.
6. To import the Commodity Transfer Scale Tickets, go to Scale Interface / Operations / Transfer Scale Tickets. Select the Import Scale Ticket tab. Choose the Commodity Transfers option. Selecting Validate All Tickets on Import to Grain Documents is recommended. Choose Transfer.
7. If Validate All Tickets on Import to Grain Documents is selected, the Commodity Validation form displays for each Commodity Transfer Scale Ticket created. Make any changes necessary and select Import.
