Notes on Truck, Container, and Trailer Tare Handling
TransAct allows each account to use three different tare types. When
TransAct was installed, the three tare types were defined as Truck,
Container, and Pup Trailer. These tare names can be changed in the
TransAct initialization file. For example, “Container” could be
changed to “Boxes”. See Editing the TransAct Initialization File in the
Appendix for more information.
When tare weights are used during a transaction, the total of all tares
for the transaction is calculated and applied toward the net weight.
Truck Tare Weights
Each customer account can have a list of trucks with their recorded tare
weights attached to the account. When one of the trucks with a re-
corded tare enters the scale, the tare is automatically used for the
transaction. It shows as Weight Out for an incoming transaction, and as
Weight In for an outgoing transaction.
Click the Truck... hotlink button to view a list of truck numbers and
tare weights.
