Sales Contracts - SKY Grain

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

Note: Sales Contracts are only available for 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 Reprint Contracts or Delete Contracts. These are available when contracts have been checked in the far left column. This gives the ability to reprint or delete multiple Contracts at the same time rather than individually. Reprinting multiple Contracts at the same time opens each in a new tab to either download or send to a printer.

Options to Edit, Print, Migrate, or Delete a Sales Contract are available in the far right columns of the grid.

Select + Add Sales Contract in the bottom right to add a Sales Contract.
