How do I generate monthly grain storage invoices for producers?
On the first of each month, WebRun opens Ceres, reads each producer's stored bushels and days held, and calculates the storage charge at your posted rate. It raises a storage invoice per producer in QuickBooks and drafts the billing email in Gmail, both left unsent, so nothing is invoiced or emailed until you approve it.
- Every producer's storage is billed on the 1st at your posted rate
- Grain that shipped mid-month is charged only for its bushel-days
- Invoices and emails wait as drafts for your approval before issue

Questions, answered
Will it invoice producers without my approval?
No. WebRun creates each storage invoice in QuickBooks and drafts the billing email in Gmail, but leaves both unsent. You review the bushels, days, and total, then issue them yourself, so nothing bills a producer on its own.
How is the storage charge calculated?
It reads each producer's stored bushels and days held in Ceres, then applies your posted storage rate along with any minimum charge or free-day terms, so the amount matches your published storage policy.
What about grain that shipped out mid-month?
It reads the live stored balance and the in and out dates in Ceres, so grain that left during the month is charged only for the bushel-days it was actually in store.
