 In basis entry screen the column values are showing bases on the setting in company configurations 

• In company configurations Set the " Enter separate market basis or diffrential for buyvs Sell " as true then in Basis entry screen we can see the Contract Type column will show " Purchase and sales"
  This will group the contracts which  is against the same month and item and location and group by purchase . 
  if the same is uncheked then the Contract type will be blank

• In company configurations Set the " Enter forward curve for Market basis / Diffrential " as true then in basis entry screen we can see the "Period to" column will show the Contract end date .
