Weigh Form

List Order

The

List Order

option determines how tables containing lists (e.g. (Customer) Account, (Open) Ticket,

and Categories) will be displayed in drop-down lists. A dot next to an option indicates it is selected.

is selected, lists display in

description order. Pressing the

F11

function key in the

Weigh Form

or before clicking the

Find

button

for any table, toggles between

and

To find an entry in a drop down list, start typing the code when

List Order

By Code.

Alternately, type

first few characters of the description, when

List Order

By Description.

Current sort order is displayed in the TransAct header.

Adjustments

TransAct provides two

Adjustments

fields,

Percent of Load

and

Percent Deduction

. When a description

is entered in either box, the boxes appear in the

Transaction Detail

form. If no description is entered,

the boxes do not appear.

During a transaction, the

Weight In

Weight Out,

and

Net Weight

fields do not change. The status bar

displays the adjusted weight in the charge calculation.

Adjustment 1 - Percent of Load Label

Use the

Percent of Load

label when splitting a load between two or more items. Be certain to turn on

Multiple Items per Ticket

in the

Ticket

section.

Example: A recycling center may use the

Percent of Load

field when haulers bring in mixed loads

(e.g. cardboard and newspaper). Instead of having the driver weigh in/weigh out for each
material, the scale operator enters a value in the

Percent of Load

field and clicks the

Print

Ticket

button. The operator selects

Add a Percent of Load Item

button. The

Weight In,

Weight Out

, and

Net Weight

fields do not change. The next material item is selected, a

value is entered in the

Percent of Load

field and the

Print Ticket

button is clicked.

Adjustment 2 - Percent Decrease Label

Use the

Percent Decrease

Label

when adjustments effect a single load.
