Rice Lake TransAct 3.5 - Manual (Page 93)

Weigh In/Weigh Out, Yard, and Unit Count Transactions Weigh
94 Version 3.5
If tare information is defined for an account, the available options are enabled in the Transaction Details
form. When a tare weight with a weight of zero is selected, the transaction is still considered a Weigh
In/Weigh Out transaction. One reason for using a zero tare weight is to track truck numbers for reporting
purposes.
If the tare field has a weight, the transaction is completed using the tare weight. For an explanation of
tare weight transactions, turn to
“Transactions with Tare Weights” on page 99 .
NOTE: Tare information can only be selected when a transaction is started.
When a transaction is created, the account default categories are displayed. To change a category item,
use the drop-down list next to each category option. Any changes to the default items are stored with
the current transaction. When the account is selected for a new transaction, the default items reappear.
To change the unit of measure, click the Units button. The status bar at the bottom of the window
displays how the charge is calculated. The status bar also displays the direction of the transaction
(
incoming/outgoing ) and charge type (payable or receivable).
To change to yards, click the Units button until it displays Yards .
To change to count, click the units button until Unit Count is displayed. When the unit changes
to yard or count, the Material Direction box appears.

the Select Transaction form.
