Purchase Offer Contracts - SKY Grain

When opening Inbound in SKY Grain, a grid displays to show Purchase and Purchase Offer Contracts. For more information on how this grid works, see Using Grids in Agvance SKY.

Note: Purchase Offer Contracts are only available to those with the permission enabled in SKY Admin.

Contracts listed can be filtered by selecting the Filters icon and specifying criteria.

Use the Search bar to find specific contracts. Under the Ellipsis of the Search bar, there are options to Delete Contracts, Reprint Contracts, or Mark as Expired. These are available when contracts have been checked in the far left column, giving the ability to perform these actions for multiple Contracts rather than individually. Reprinting multiple Contracts at the same time opens each in a new tab to either download or send to a printer.

Note: The Require reason for changes preference in Windows Agvance at Grain / Setup / Preferences, must be turned off for the Delete Contracts option to be enabled.

Select a Purchase Offer Contract number to view the contract.

Options to Edit, Print, and Delete a Purchase Offer Contract are available in the far right columns of the grid.
