Figure 178. Setting the number of decimal places for conversion
To use a conversion rate, TransAct will use the Yard column for Factor1 rate and the Count column for
Factor2 rate in the Rates table.
Figure 179. Entering Conversion Rates
Make sure the weight column (e.g. Pounds or Tons ) is 0 for the materials that are converted. Then, set
a value for the Yard column to charge based on Factor1 or set a value for the Count column to charge
by Factor2. TransAct automatically converts the Yard or Count rate into a per-pound rate and displays
the charge at the bottom of the Transaction Details form.
Also displayed on the bottom of the screen is the first letter of the converted unit followed by the value.
For example, G 7200.0 represents 7200 Gallons.
In Quick Scan , TransAct displays the rate as a per-pound rate and shows the converted values.
