Automated Grain Shrink and Discount Log
Every evening, WebRun opens Ceres, reads the moisture reading, shrink, dockage, and discount schedule applied to each of the day's scale tickets, logs every line into a Google Sheets audit trail, and posts a Slack note flagging any ticket whose deduction looks off against your posted schedule.
How do I audit moisture shrink and discounts on my scale tickets?
Every evening, WebRun opens Ceres and reads the moisture, shrink, dockage, and discount applied to each of the day's scale tickets. It logs every line into a Google Sheets audit trail with daily totals, then posts a Slack note flagging any ticket whose deduction differs from your posted schedule, giving you a defensible record.
- Every ticket's shrink and discount is logged for disputes and audits
- Off-schedule deductions are flagged the same night they happen
- Daily shrink and discount totals show whether the schedule is applied evenly

Questions, answered
Is it safe to run unattended?
Yes. This log only reads finished tickets in Ceres, writes an internal Google Sheets audit trail, and posts a Slack note. It changes no ticket and contacts no producer, so it is safe to run every night.
How does it decide a deduction is an outlier?
It compares each ticket's applied moisture shrink and discount against your posted schedule in Ceres, so any deduction that does not match the schedule for that moisture and grade is flagged with the expected value.
Why keep a shrink and discount audit trail?
A dated per-ticket log gives you a defensible record for producer disputes and weigh audits, and the daily shrink and discount totals show whether your schedule is being applied consistently across shifts.
