How-To
Contracts can be worked in either bushels or metric tons. A unit toggle on the Contracts page remembers your preference for future visits.
-
On the Contracts page, use the unit toggle to switch between bu and MT.
-
All quantities, remaining balances, and delivery totals on that page display in whichever unit you've selected.
Before relying on the conversion, make sure the commodity has a Bushel Weight set under Commodities; that's what Binstor uses to convert between bushels and metric tons.
FAQ
My converted totals don't look right. Check the commodity's Bushel Weight under Commodities. Deliveries convert between bushels and metric tons using that weight, so a missing or incorrect bushel weight throws off the converted total, even though the raw recorded quantity is still correct.
Does switching units change the underlying data? No, it only changes how quantities are displayed. The stored values don't change based on which unit you're viewing.
