| Even if you're not using metrics to classify the grade or make bonuses or deductions based on their values, you may wish to record them for potential use in the future. Grain Trader recalculates a weighted average of up to the first five metrics for the commodity in each storage on every incoming load, so you can tell at a glance the overall storage averages. | Even if you're not using metrics to classify the grade or make bonuses or deductions based on their values, you may wish to record them for potential use in the future.

However any metrics found in the import file which are not cross-referenced in the Grain Trader commodity will generate an entry in the [[bulkhandler#The Import Error Log|import error log]] unless you choose to ignore them - see the section [[bulkhandler#Importing the Loads|Importing the Loads]] below for more detail. </note> | + | <note>If you do not wish to record values for any individual or all metrics (and they are included in the Bulk Handler's import file), you need not configure the Commodity for those metrics (as described in the section [[bulkhandler#Defining the XRef Term For a Commodity and Handler|Defining the XRef Term For a Commodity and Handler]] below).

| Because there are different import file types available from some Bulk Handlers (notably GrainCorp), but all the formats from one handler can use the same cross-reference terms, Grain Trader allows you to define the terms only once for each Bulk Handler and Commodity (however the system is flexible enough to allow for a different list of terms should this be needed in the future). To configure these you first need to give each Bulk Handler schedule of terms a name of your own choosing, then allocate the file format(s) they provide to their schedule. Select the //Utility | Import | Manage Defined Import Formats// menu to display the **Manage Defined Import Formats** window: | Because there are different import file types available from some Bulk Handlers (notably GrainCorp), but all the formats from one handler can use the same cross-reference terms, Grain Trader allows you to define the terms only once for each Bulk Handler and Commodity (however the system is flexible enough to allow for a different list of terms should this be needed in the future).
