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.

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 Image Removed UOM drop-down list to the right of the WEIGHT IN UNITS field.

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

Click the Image Removed 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)

The weighed item is automatically selected. The scale will need to be unlocked. Click the unlock button Image Removed.The scale weight will be applied to the Weight Out field and the Image Removed Complete Ticket button can be clicked to complete the transaction.

A record in the database will not be retained when an item is deleted during a transaction. An item cannot be deleted once a payment has been applied to the or the ticket has appeared on an invoice. Quick Scan must be used to void the transaction. Voided transactions are retained in the database for audit trail and reporting purposes.

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).
