TransAct allows each account to use three different tare types: Truck,
Container, and Pup Trailer. You can change these tare names in the
TransAct initialization file( for example, you can change Container to
Boxes). See Section 12.2 for more information.
When using tare weights during a transaction, TransAct calculates the total
of all tares for the transaction and applies the total toward the net weight.
Accounting Info (Plus Only)
Click Accounting Info… to display accounting information for the customer
account. The Customer Accounting Info window allows the user to adjust
previous and current balances, revoke an account, activate account invoicing,
require the customer to pay in cash, or select a tax exempt account.
TransAct permits you to assign four main categories to each account. For
simplicity, TransAct initially installs only two categories. There is no limit
to the number of items you can enter under each main category. See Section
7.4 for more information on setting up categories.
You can modify main categories and assign them different names to make
TransAct more appropriate for your application. Only an administrator with
computer experience should perform this procedure, as it entails opening
special initialization (.ini) files in the TransAct folder on the hard drive. See
Section 12.2 for more information about using .ini files.
7.1.4 Hotlinked Buttons
From the Customer Account Table, you can jump directly to the screens
needed to set up accounting information, truck ID’s and tares, container
ID’s and tares, and pup trailer ID’s and tares. Make those jumps by clicking
the hotlinked buttons (see below) near the bottom of the Customer Account
Table.
