About Cash Board and Cash Prices

Introduction

Cash board is the digital bulletin board that helps connect sellers to buyers. Buyers can post bids or "cash prices" by specifying the Site, Quantity, Commodity, Grade, sustainability, and other criteria, along with the price they would like to buy at. This can be done in bulk or individually.

Sellers can then browse the "marketplace" and sell or "cash out" on the deal most suitable for them, given that they have sufficient stock of the bid specification at the required site. 

Sites also have the ability to control who can post cash prices at their sites as well as who can view the cash prices.

Managing Cash Prices

Users can manage cash prices posted by them or on their sites.

Users have the following options while managing cash prices that they have posted in AgriChain or that have been posted on their sites:

1. View: View the details of the cash price, including details not visible on the price, like buying NGR
2. Repost: This can be used to change certain details like the end date, price, quantity, buyer, NGR, etc. of the cash price and repost it. This is the only way to edit the details of the cash price.
3. Inactive: When a cash price is inactive, it is no longer shown on the cash board and cannot be cashed against. 
4. Title Transfers: View past cashouts done against the given cash price.
5. Audit History: View changes and affected users for the cash price.

Site owners get the option to "Cash Out" instead of "Repost". Cash price details can only be set and changed by the poster.
