Automated Grain Contract Balance Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens Ceres, reads every open purchase and sale contract, compares each contract quantity against the bushels already applied inbound and outbound, and posts a Slack digest ranking contracts that are short, over-delivered, or approaching their pricing or delivery deadline.

Questions, answered
Is it safe to run unattended?
Yes. This digest only reads open contracts and applied bushels in Ceres and posts an internal Slack summary. It changes no contract and contacts no producer, so it is safe to run every morning.
How does it decide a contract is short?
It compares each contract's quantity in Ceres against the bushels already applied inbound and outbound, so a contract with fewer applied bushels than contracted is flagged short with the remaining balance.
Can it warn me before a contract prices or expires?
Yes. It reads each contract's pricing and delivery dates in Ceres and moves any nearing its deadline to the top of the digest, so nothing lapses unpriced or undelivered.
