What does "P" mean in relation to malted grains?

[Nickme23]

I downloaded the "brewpal" app for brewing on my iphone and they don't seem to have a single continental malt in the grain selection so I was trying to add a german 2-row to the list for my wit and there is some field that is requiring a number to be assigned and it's called "P" the range is from 0-50P then the next field is degrees L. I get the lovibond rating field but what the heck does "P" stand for?

my guess would be "potential" as in short for PPG (used for determining efficiency)?

so what do you think a german pils would be? Is there some resource I could see what a typical malt would render? I looked it up online but I don't even know what to call what I'm looking for...

Looks like 38 PPG per pound...

You're welcome (if I'm actually right that the P is short for PPG!)

I love the brewpal app! Wish they would add some more grains though. And have the boil timer visible without having to open it

That would have been my guess, too.
