General Weigh Window Information
After clicking the Weigh button from the menu bar, the first of two forms appears. The first form ( Select
Transaction ) is used to start a transaction or select an open transaction for completion. The second form
( Transaction Details ) will be discussed later.
Figure 68. Select Transaction Form
The window header contains the date and time. TransAct reads this information from the computer
system. If the time or date is incorrect, exit TransAct, change the system time and date, and restart
TransAct.
The Print Weight , Options , Update Tares buttons, and display window(s) are always present in both
forms. The Update Tares button is only available from the second form ( Transaction Details) once a
transaction has been started.
The status bar at the bottom of the Weigh window displays the next ticket number and the ticket format
file. During a transaction, charges for individual items, total charge for multiple items, direction of flow
(
Incoming/Outgoing ), and charge type (payable or receivable) are also displayed.
Running Transactions
To begin a new transaction, select an Account, Permit (TransAct Plus), or Truck Id . To complete a
transaction, select an open ticket from the Ticket drop-down list or enter a Truck Id .
NOTE: When TransAct is installed, screen focus (the cursor) is placed on the Account field. To
change the screen focus, edit the SCREENFocus1 line in the [Weigh Options] section of the
TransAct initilization file. Refer to the section, Editing the TransAct Initilization File in the
Appendix, for more information.
