Liquid fert in Gatekeeper

[Shutesy]

For the Gatekeeper users out there what's the easiest way of inputing liquid fert into the program? I will be applying it in L per ha so the storage is also in L but the invoice is in tons with a price per ton. I have for now converted the tons to L using the SG of 1.26 and then divided the invoice total £ over the numbers of L.

Example (made up figures):
27.8t @ £250/t = £6950
27.8t / 1.26 SG = 22,064L
£6950 / 22,064L = £0.315/L

Is that how folks are doing it?

That's how I've been doing it for several years too!

The yearly discussion in the office whether your divide or multiple the specific gravity figure to get the litres!

1000 litres of liquid fertiliser will weigh 1260 kg.

What's all this tonnes talk -don't you just buy it in cubes?

It’s a flippin pain. We’ve gone back to paper records as it’s far less complicated!

Yara sell it by volume. Much easier.
