Grain Bank Export

Grain Bank balances are exported out of Agvance to FMM. Information regarding the data mapping for this export can be found here.

Grain Bank quantities being exported will be calculated the same way they are at invoicing and exported as a sum total from all Locations by Commodity for the Customer. The Customer inserted in the file will be the Agvance ID or the selected Customer Cross Reference. No Grain Bank pooling amount will be included. The FMM program will handle the pooling on their side.

The Grain Bank file will have a location on each record equal to the FMM-Agvance Location Cross Reference on the currently logged into Location of the custom program.

Grain Bank balances will always be expressed in Lbs in the file.

The Commodity ID notated in the export file will be the Agvance Commodity ID or the selected Commodity Cross Reference for the Commodity being exported.

The following are included in the export:

  • Customers with an open balance on one or more of the following:
    • Grain Scale Ticket with Disposition of Grain Bank, Settlement Destination with To DPR of Grain Bank, and the total of these two do not offset by the total of open Grain Bank Shipments
    • Any Customer with a NON-zero balance (Scale Ticket + Settlement - Grain Bank Shipment) grouped by Commodity will write a record for the currently logged in Location.

It will not be the Location where the Grain Bank is actually assigned in Agvance.
