Processing a transaction
In the Solid Waste business it is common for customers to bring several products to the landfill on a single load. For example a small construction contractor may bring in garbage, appliances, and tires. The following is an example of how the ticket could be processed.
With the truck on the scale and the weight stable, start the transaction by entering the Truck or selecting the Hauler. For this example the truck will not have a stored tare weight. Select the weighed material item from the Material drop-down list and any other required items. Click the
Click the 
Add Item button in the lower left corner of the window.
The inbound weight for the weighed item (Solid Waste for our example) is stored and a second line item added.
The scale is locked and the material is reset to -1 None. Select a non weighed item from the Material drop-down list (Appliances for our example).
When Inventory Unit of Measure (UOM) is used in the material table the UOM for the transaction will be set to match the selected inventory UOM. When Inventory UOM is not in use select the correct UOM from the the 
UOM drop-down list to the right of the WEIGHT IN UNITS field.
Enter the number of appliances (two for our example).
Click the the Add item button again. The second item is stored and a third item started. Select another unit count item from the Material drop-down list (Tires for our example) and enter the number of items (four for our example)
At this point in the transaction the inbound weight for Solid Waste, 2 appliances, and 4 tires are stored in the database. Click the the 
Store Ticket button to store the transaction. The driver can enter the yard and drop off all of their items.
Once the driver has dropped off all of their items the driver will return to the scale. The scale operator will open the ticket from the Open Transactions list. The weighed item is automatically selected. The scale will need to be unlocked. Click the unlock button 
.The scale weight will be applied to the Weight Out field and the the 
Complete Ticket button can be clicked to complete the transaction.

Processing a Split Load transaction

Click the 
Add % of Load button. The first item is stored and the second item started. The scale is locked to retain the Weigh In, Weight Out, and Net Weight. The % of Load value is reset to 100 and the Material item is cleared and set back to -1 None.

Reopen button.
The scale is locked to preserve previous weights. A new item is added and the Material reset to -1 None. Select a unit count item from the Material drop-down list (Appliances for our example) and enter the quantity.
