• Customer Status/COD Codes - Override criteria change from being a Yes/No override option to offering more choices. In the 'Allow Override' field, enter your choice of 1 thru 4 (see definitions below). We automatically converted the "COD status code overrides" for you with these ptfs because counter doesn't recognize a Y/N Override COD status code anymore. See yours under option 4. AR, 9. File Setup, 18. Customer Status/COD Codes

  Override criteria on COD Status Codes:
  1 = Information only
  Shows in counter, does not require override, is informational only
  
  2 = Override with Fkey
  Allow user to override COD code during invoice entry when user id has access to do this. When charge to customer account is entered, counter gives a COD message and f-key is required to continue with the ticket. All users can override using Fkey.
  
  3 = Override with Fkey, if entitled, based on sales area
  When charge to customer account is entered, counter gives a COD message and F-key is required to continue with the ticket. Only users entitled/authorized to override based on the sales area will be able to charge to this customer.

  4 = Never allow override
  Do not allow user to override this COD code during invoice. Charge cannot be entered to this customer by anyone.

• Grain By-Products. A new menu in Grain 14. By-Producs has been created to define your Grain By-Products that are created as a result of (for example) soybean crushing and splits into soybean hulls, soybean meal, soybean oil. You would define these by-products in option 1. Then record the process of converting these products to by-products via options 3 & 4. This updates your daily position report to reflect these by-products. Use option 5 to print that Daily Position of these by-products.

• Checkoff Report updated. When Grain Bank beans are based on % of price for settling out loads, then net amount on this report includes any negative and positive loads involved.
• Activant Interface to AgVantage Patronage. We have a new interface from Activant Sales software to our AgVantage Patronage Software. If you know of customers using Activant for their accounting software solution, they can now send their sales activity to our Patronage software and create distribution checks and equity on the AgVantage System.
