Note Field
A Note field is available to use with each category. This note field can be printed on tickets and exported.
The field name can be changed by editing the TransAct initialization file. For more information about
the TransAct initialization file, see
Editing the TransAct Initialization File in the Appendix .
Inventory Units
To activate inventory tracking for an item, select the unit of measure (UOM) that will be used to track
the item; weight (pounds, tons, kilograms, or metric tons), yard or count. Enter a beginning inventory
balance. Inventory will automatically be adjusted with each incoming and outgoing transaction.
Selecting the UOM from the inventory section can be useful, even when material inventory is not
tracked. When this option is active, the
Units button in the Weigh form automatically switches from the
default UOM to the UOM set in Inventory Units for the selected material.
For example, most transactions are weighed, therefore the system default UOM is probably Pounds or
Tons. However, not all items in the list may be weighed items. Tires brought to a landfill are probably
counted. Select
Tires from the item list. Click Unit Count from the Inventory Units list, then click the
Save button. Whenever Tires is selected from the Transaction Details form, the Units button will
automatically switch from the default UOM to Unit Count.
During a transaction the UOM can always be changed by clicking the Units button. If the UOM is
changed during a transaction and no longer matches the inventory UOM, the following message appears
when the
Print Ticket button is clicked.

To override the transaction with the new UOM, click Yes. To make changes before continuing, click No .
Mix
Mix refers to an item used with a concrete mix batching system. Additional documentation has been
created to better explain the concrete batching feature. Please contact your TransAct representative to
obtain this information.
