Review each contract so it moves stock correctly: purchase, sale, transfer, refine out or return.
Last updated 2026-11-07
Every contract your characters took part in, and the place where you tell the app what each one was.
The app reads your characters' contracts from EVE once an hour. A contract only changes your stock after you review it: you confirm what it was (a purchase, a sale, a move between your own characters, ore sent to or back from a refiner, or nothing to do with stock) and, for purchases and sales, what each item was worth. Then you post it and the app creates or uses the right lots.
Contracts (under Stock in the sidebar) has:
New contracts that need review also appear in the Inbox as Contract items, so you can review them from there as well. Both places open the same review form.
EVE says a contract happened. It does not say what it was for.
A contract in EVE is just items and ISK changing hands. The same contract shape can be a purchase from another player, a sale, moving stock from one of your alts to another, or sending ore to a refiner. Each of those has to be booked differently:
So the app makes a guess, shows it to you and waits. Nothing is added to or taken from your stock until you post the review. Until then the contract's items are invisible to your lots, and the Stock page's Reconciliation tab may show a gap for them.
Only contracts that are Finished and that the app guessed as something other than Ignored. Outstanding, in progress, cancelled, deleted or rejected contracts did not move anything, so there is nothing to review. Courier and loan contracts are guessed as Ignored and never need a review.
The app never guesses Refine out or Refine return: pick those yourself.
Find the contracts waiting for you, or look up any old one.
In the All view, contracts that need review are listed first under Needs review, then the rest under Reviewed or not reviewable. Within each group the newest contract comes first. Use Previous and Next under the list to page through.
To open a contract by its number from anywhere, press ⌘K (Ctrl K), type the number and pick Contract ….
Confirm the direction, check the prices, post. About a minute per contract.
The bar at the bottom shows the Contract price and, for purchases and sales, the market value of what you received.
Pick the one that describes what really happened.
A contract has one price for many items. The app has to split it to give each item a cost.
If some items had no market price when the contract finished, the form notes Some items have no market price at completion: market share allocation may be uneven for them. Use Custom prices for those.
For ore you send to a player who refines it for you.
A contracted refine has two contracts: the ore going out and the minerals coming back. Both belong to a refine batch, which you record first under Record→Refine batch with the contracted refiner and no actual quantities. That batch shows as At refiner until the minerals are back. See the Refining guide.
If the list says No batches at a refiner, the form offers Record refine batch: record the batch, then review the contract again. Posting stays disabled with Pick the refine batch this contract belongs to until a batch is chosen.
Everything about one contract and what its review did to your stock.
Open it by clicking a reviewed row in the list, the View link after posting, a sale on the Profit page, or a lot's source link. The header shows the title, contract number, type, direction and status, with Review contract when it still needs one. A banner says where it stands:
There is no undo, but you can correct the stock.
A posted review cannot be edited or reversed. If you chose the wrong direction or price, correct the result with a stock adjustment:
The first sync can bring in months of old contracts. You do not have to review them.
EVE returns your recent contract history, so the first sync may raise a review for contracts from before your opening balances. Reviewing them would add or remove stock twice. Dismiss them instead:
A dismissed contract is still unreviewed, so it still appears under Needs review on the Contracts page and you can review it there later if you change your mind. The Post jobs started after setting does not hide old contracts; it only applies to industry jobs.
Click a question to open it.
EVE says a contract happened, not what it was for. Reviewing tells the app whether it was a purchase, a sale, a transfer between your characters, a refine contract or nothing, and what each item cost. Nothing changes in your stock until you press Post contract.
In the review choose Allocation → Custom prices and type your price per unit. That sets what the stock cost you; its market value stays the market price, and the difference shows as contract discount on Profit. Check that Difference to price shows 0.
You are posting a sale (or a swap) of items the app has no lots for, usually because they were bought or made before you started tracking. Press Adjust stock in the message to add the missing units with a cost, then post again. If the contract is from before you started, dismiss it instead (see old contracts).
The app has the contract but not its item list yet. Items arrive with the next contracts sync (hourly). Check Sync and ESI, or run a contracts sync there.
Purchases, sales, transfers and refine returns can only be posted once EVE reports the contract as finished, because before that nothing has moved. Wait until the contract is accepted and completed.
A transfer is only between two characters added to your account. If the other side is someone else (or a corporation), it is a purchase or a sale. If it is your alt, add that character on Characters first.
Contracts guessed as Ignored do not show a Review contract button. Record the stock by hand instead: Record→Purchase (or Sale) with the contract's items, quantities and prices. See Recording a purchase.
In the Inbox, pick the Contract kind, select the ones from before you started and press Dismiss selected. Dismissed contracts stay unreviewed and post nothing. Bulk dismiss cannot be undone.
No: direction and prices are final once posted. Correct the stock with a Record→Stock adjustment. See fixing a mistake.
