# Commitments ledger

> Track every unit you promised a buying group, how many you have bought and the deadline, with a weekly alert for commitments past their deadline.

The commitments ledger lists every commitment you made to a buying group: the product, the units you promised, the payout per unit, the deadline and how many units you have bought so far. It is on Pro and Concierge.

## Where commitments come from

- **Synced from your groups:** BFMR reservations and the commitments at BuyingGroup.com, Deal & Runner, USA Buying Group and all other supported groups are added for you.
- **By hand:** on the [Commitments page](https://www.buyinggrouppro.com/commitments/), add the product, the quantity (at least 1), and optionally the payout and the deadline. You can delete only the commitments you added by hand.

## How progress is counted

BuyingGroupPro counts the units bought from your orders, live, so the ledger is always current. Each commitment shows one of these states:

- **Open:** units still to buy.
- **Fulfilled:** you bought all the units, or more.
- **Closed:** closed at the group.
- **Expired:** the deadline passed.
- **Stale:** no deadline, and older than 30 days.

Expired and stale commitments are left out of the remaining-payout total.

## Deadline alert

When commitments pass their deadline with units still unbought, you get one alert that lists them all, at most once a week.
