Situation: I’ve settled to a DP contract incorrectly. How do I void it?

Solution:

1. Go to U (Utilities), U (Unsettle) to unsettle the contract.
    
2. Go to C (Contract) E (Enter/Edit) to remove the contract.
    
3. If your grain check register has been updated, you’ll need to find the number assigned to the DP contract, in the old check register. (It begins with a 9.)
    
4. Now go to K (ChecK), G (Grain Check), and V (Void/ReVersal) and enter the name. At the check number, enter the letter D (Deferred Payment) and enter the number of the contract entry you found on the daily check register. Now you can reverse the contract.

Situation: I want to settle transactions from two different locations and pay with one check.

Solution: You can settle as many settlements at as many locations as you wish and still pay with one check. Just say “No” to printing the check after each settlement you make. When you’re actually ready to print the check, go to K (checks), followed by G (grain check), then T (transfer). Follow this procedure for each location where you made a settlement and typed “No” to check printing. Finally, go to K (checks), G (grain), and P (print single check). Select the branch location in which you’d like the check to print. Choose the name and the grain type. Lastly, indicate the line or lines of settlements you want printed on the check.

 

Situation: Can the computer calculate the number of bushels needed for a patron to receive a settlement at a specific dollar amount?

Solution: Yes, it’s possible to do this kind of reverse calculation. You’ll need to 1) settle for all the bushels, and 2) while at the settlement screen, use the Enter key to page down. 3) Find the price-per-bushel block and type in a dollar sign. 4) At the prompt, enter the desired check amount and watch the program calculate the bushels needed for that settlement.

 

Situation: I want to settle several warehouse receipts, creating one new warehouse receipt. What procedure should I follow?

Solution: Make settlements and choose “No” at the point when you would print each settlement. Next, go to the grain menu and type R (receipt), followed by P (print). Type the receipt and enter the number of the receipt to be printed. You’ll see the list of receipts not printed show up on the screen, two by two. Strike the F1 key until all receipts are combined. (Note: In this sort of transaction, the computer will choose an average date of deposit.)
