General

Scale Tickets – The last report number and posting date are both updated when Scale Tickets are posted. The Scale Tickets are posted at End of Periods / Grain Posting / Post Scale Tickets.
Settlements – The last report number and posting date are both updated when the Settlements are posted. The Settlements are posted at End of Periods / Grain Posting / Post Settlements.
Shipments – The last report number and posting date are both updated when the Shipments are posted. The Shipments are posted at End of Periods / Grain Posting / Post Shipments.
Ship Settlements – The last report number and posting date are both updated when the Shipment Settlements are posted. The Shipment Settlements are posted at End of Periods / Grain Posting / Post Shipment Settlements.
DPR/TPR – The last report number and posting date are both updated when the DPR is posted. The DPR is posted at End of Periods / DPR Posting, Grain Reports / Daily Position Reports / Daily Position, or Grain Reports / Daily Position Reports / Combined DPR/TPR when Update DPR is selected.
Rollup Location Inventory to Open Storage on DPR – When using the Add Locations for Same Commodity Together preference on the DPR reports, the inventory of the location selected has its own line on the DPR called Open Storage (Location).
Minutes before Settlement Print Window Unloads – This option sets a delay where all processing is locked until the paperwork for a Settlement is printed after saving. This helps ensure the proper documents (ex. Warehouse Receipts) print for one user before another asks for the same document.
"Grade" GF – If a U.S. Grade is set to calculate on Scale Tickets, select the grade factor that represents U.S. Grade. Setup is found at Setup / Commodities by selecting Grades.
Current Year – This is used in the Grain P&L reports to calculate the previous year by subtracting one from current. The current year is also used to determine year to post grain ledger history.
Settlement Check Top Margin Adjustment – This adjusts the location of printing on a Settlement check. This is to assist in the optimum check alignment.
Name to Print for Statements of Income – Optionally enter the name to print as the header on the Income Statement at GL Posting Reports / Profit and Loss Statement / Statements of Income Comparative.
Priced Later Alternate Name – To replace the Priced Later label on the Combined DPR/TPR Net Balance report and Grain Scale Interface Full Page - 2up6 printout, enter the alternate verbiage in this area.
Include account reference when printing settlement checks to PrintBoss – Checking this option includes the Checking Account ID on the check to ensure PrintBoss has the correct checking account to print on the check. A new PrintBoss template is needed to use this preference as well as some setup in PrintBoss.

Require reason for changes – When checked, users are required to enter a reason why certain changes or deletions were made. A log is also maintained indicating which user made the changes, when the changes were made, and the reason entered at the time the change was made.
Separate Shrink from Dockage – Marking this option automatically separates Shrinkage from Dockage. If not marked, both shrink and dockage calculate from gross units. If it is marked, dockage calculates off the gross and then shrink is calculated on the difference of gross minus dockage units.
Allow the canceling of “Use Average” for all grade factor values when settling – If checked, when saving a Settlement, an option appears to override Use Average for all the grade factors on the Settlement.

Sales

Default Shipment Settlement GL Debit Acct. – This defaults this G/L account entered on the Shipment Settlement tab. This is the Cash on Hand (undeposited cash) or checking account number. Use of the Cash on Hand account is more desirable so the effect on the checking account is made when the deposit is posted rather than for every shipment check received.

Warn if Ship Date before Start Delivery Date – Selecting this option gives a warning when attempting to save a Shipment with a Sales Contract that has a Starting Delivery Date later than the Shipment Date.
Always use Shipment Price on Shipment Settlements – Select this option to have the price on the Shipment default to the price on the Shipment Settlement. When this option is not selected, the price for a Shipment line on the Shipment Settlement defaults to the contract price if a contract was used on the Shipment. This happens when Shipments are added to the grid or when Shipments are split.
Allow “Direct In” to NOT equal “Direct Out” – This option allows the DPR to be updated when the Direct In and Direct Out lines on the combined DPR/TPR are not equal.

Post Settlements Live – Selecting this option posts Settlements to the DPR without going through grain posting. Settlements are automatically posted when saved and not as part of End of Day Procedures.
Deferred Payment Period – This is available only when the Post Settlements Live preference is selected. This is used when preparing Settlements/cutting checks for Deferred Payment and Installment Sales in advance of the payment due date to avoid payment delays to customers. When checked, the program STOPS grain posting for any Settlements where the Settlement source lines are exclusively Settlement sources of Deferred Payments or Installment Sales, the Settlement destination DPR for each Settlement source line is Priced, and the Settlement date entered is a date in the future (a date after the system date). These Settlements do not grain post until manually posting through that Settlement date when doing grain posting.
Post Shipments & Advances 1 JE Per Transaction – This creates one journal entry per Shipment Settlement. This is helpful when reconciling the bank deposit in the Accounting module.

Post Grain Inventory and Merchandise in 1 Journal Entry – This creates one journal entry for each Grain Inventory and Merchandise Inventory posting on reports.
GL Posting Reports Option New Page Each Commodity – With this option selected, the GL Posting Reports start a new page for each commodity. Reports included are the Grain Purchase Report, Grain Storage Report, Grain Shipment Report, and In-Transit Shipment Report. The New Page Each Commodity option on the Report Criteria screens defaults as selected but may be changed as needed.
Update History From – When running the Profit and Loss (Final) Report and the Update Grain Ledger History option is used, the history is updated by the option selected.
Store Receipts – When this option is selected, the history is updated based on the units received. (Scale Tickets)
Store Purchases – When this option is selected, the history is updated based on the units purchased (Settlements).
Do you post inventory to GL monthly? – If using Agvance Full Accounting (and, as recommended, posting inventory to G/L at the end of each month), then select this option. This affects how some Grain Profit and Loss Reports work.
Automatically Transfer Scale Interface Tickets When Valid – With this preference selected, when a Scale Ticket is saved in the Scale Interface module, if it is complete and ready for transfer, the ticket is automatically transferred to the Grain module and affects the DPR.
