Defaulting in Drying Charges

Set up drying charges so they will default on the Settlement.

Setting Up the Drying Charge Grade Factor

1. Add a Grade Factor at Grain / Setup / Grade Factors.
2. Choose Premium/Discount or PD and Shrink from the Factor Type drop-down.
3. Check the Drying Charge checkbox on the Grade Factor that will be used to calculate drying.

Add a Premium/Discount Table to Calculate the Drying Charges

1. Add a Premium/Discount table at Grain / Setup / Premium/Discount Tables.
2. Select a Commodity and the Grade Factor that is set up for Drying Charges.
   
3. It is recommended to enter a Description to know this table is for drying charges. If there are different drying tables for each Location, it is recommended the Description include the Location or some Location identifier.
4. Do not select the Drying Charge deduction on the Premium/Discount Table. If it is added here and then set up as a default deduction, then the drying charges will double up on the Settlement.
5. Enter the Test Values and Discounts.

Setting Up Default Drying Charges Per Location

1. Add a Settlement Deduction for drying charges at Grain / Setup / Settlement Deductions.
2. Only one drying charge deduction needs to be added if the Commodity's/Location's Purchase Account is used as the G/L Account. If each Location has its own drying charge account, then multiple drying charge deductions need to be added.
3. Go to Setup / Grain Ledger G/L Posting Account.
4. The drying charge should be set as the Default Deduction Code on the Grain Ledger G/L Posting Account window as each Location's G/L Posting Accounts are set up.
   
5. When settling an Assembly/Scale Ticket, drying charges will default on the Settlement if drying charges are required.
