Creating A New Contract Type

Go to GRN>Setup Information>Contract Type

At the bottom, hit insert

Enter your contract type code (2 characters) and Description (15 characters)

Enter in the priority level and hedge position category

If this contract type will use a unique number range, like a special letter at the beginning for example, change this to Y.

If this will be a delayed price contract, or the like, change this to a Y so you can add the storage table.

Fill in the rest of the questions as needed. Hit OK.

Available fields will let you select what fields you want to show or be required when entering a contract

A description of the choices is listed at the bottom

Price formulas let you determine what fields are figured into the schedule price

The remarks screen lets you determine which remark fields are available or required.

Market Valuation is where you will determine what goes into the value of the grain for month end reports.

After you get the contract type setup, you will need to set the form.

Go to GRN>Forms Manager>Choose Default Forms

Select Purchase or Sales Contract

Select your contract type

Select Add

Select User Defined or Standard

Select your form.

It will ask if you want override or no override. Always choose this form, no override means that it will not pop up with the list of forms, when you hit print it will go directly to printer selection. This is the default form, allow override means it will highlight the form you have suggested but will allow you to change the form to print.

If you selected to have unique contract numbers, you will also need to set those up as well.
