Exporting GPOS Reports for Trait Royalty Companies
Exporting GPOS Reports for Trait Royalty Companies
GPOS Exports are reports formatted specifically to meet the requirements of each Trait Royalty company. Each company has its own individual report format.
Tips for Accurate Reporting
If your export does not match the expected format, it’s possible the reporting company has made changes to their template that we’re not yet aware of. Please notify us of any such changes and attach any relevant documentation so we can investigate and update the format as needed.
We highly recommend running a test export in advance to ensure the report looks correct and that all data is being pulled as expected.
If information appears to be missing, it may be due to one of the following:
- Sales lines have not been delivered
- Product information is incomplete or not properly set up
- A grower was not assigned
- An incorrect reporting year was used
To confirm your data, we also suggest running a Trait Sales Report or GPOS Setup Report based on the criteria you expect to match. If you notice discrepancies or have any questions, please contact us before the reporting deadline.
How to Access GPOS Reports
- Navigate to Menu – Reports – GPOS.
- Select the appropriate reporting company.
- Open the Filter Icon and select Apply.
- Note: Some user have requested to use the report mid-season. For that reason, additional filter options are available. However, the default report needs to be run for seed assigned with the reporting year of the sales season and delivered seed.
- Open the Hamburger Menu and select Export.
Special Notes for Bayer Reports
Bayer has two options currently available.
- By Trait – is the old reporting style and looks for a matching Trait Royalty Company.
- By Product – is newer and will match on any products with a Bayer Product Name setup in the Genetics Table.
- To use this report, you are REQUIRED to enter a Bayer Product Name for every product being reported. Bayer also has Trait Only product names for Traits that need to be reported under these reports. This setup aligns with the products reported in the Bayer Order Bank reports.

Easily Manage Sales Rep Commissions
Sales Rep Commissions can be set up to calculate based on a per unit calculation, a percentage calculation, or both. These should be entered at the beginning of the sales season prior to when the Bookings are entered. These are set up on a per year basis and will need to be entered every year. The process for carrying it over year to year is outlined below.
