Overview

Use the multiple items per transaction feature to assign multiple items to a single ticket. This feature can be enabled by selecting Setup | Weigh Options - Features. Place a check in the box to the left of the Multiple item per ticket option.

All items of a multiple item ticket must have the same Bill-To, Hauler, Truck, Job, and Tax Code. If any of these fields are changed during a multiple item ticket a warning will appear. Click OK and change the fields back to the original selection. If the user cannot remember the fields originally selected, select a previous item in the list or cancel the transaction and start over

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  Add Item button. 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  UOM drop-down list to the right of the WEIGHT IN UNITS field.

Enter the number of appliances (two for our example).

Click 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  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  Complete Ticket button can be clicked to complete the transaction.

Process Options

The above process is one example of how a multiple item transaction can be processed. This process could be altered based on traffic flow or company policies. 

Delete Item button

Items can be deleted from a multiple item transaction only when the transaction has not had a payment applied to it or it has not appeared on an invoice. 

To delete an item select the item from the list and click the  Delete item button.

Processing a Split Load transaction

Use the Percent of Load feature to process a split load transaction. A split load transaction is defined as a transaction where the truck is not required to weigh between each item. A percentage of the total net weight is used to estimate the amount of each item in the load.

This feature can be enabled by selecting Setup | Weigh Options - Weighing. In the Adjustments section enter a meaningful label in the Percent Of Load Label field (% of Load for our example).

Click the  Save button to continue.

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 have a stored tare weight. Select the weighed material item from the Material drop-down list (Cardboard for our example) and any other required items.

Enter the estimated percentage of the load that represents the selected material (50% for our example). The adjusted net weight is calculated.

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. Select the second item from the Material drop-down list (Plastic for our example) and enter the % of Load for the second item (50% again for our example). Click the  Complete Ticket button to finish

Charges are calculated based on default settings at the account or job level. The Added Charge field is available if any additional fees need to be added to the transaction. 

Click the Complete Ticket button to complete the transaction. The Process Ticket Payment window appears. 

The Process Ticket Payment window is a summary of the transaction charges.

Click the Image Added Close Ticket and Print button to complete the transaction.

Reopen a ticket

When an item needs to be added to a ticket that has been closed, click the  Reopen ticket button.

The Reopen ticket window will list the Ticket Number Group for the machine and the last ticket printed for the selected ticket number group. Use these fields to select the ticket to be reopened. For this example the split load ticket will be reopened and an appliance added. The split load ticket was ticket number 1024. Once the ticket has been selected, click the  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.

Click the  Complete Ticket button to complete the transaction.
