Scale Properties
Use Scale Properties to set up tolerances and zero return for
interfaced scale indicators. Choosing Zero Return prevents TransAct
from creating or completing transactions until the scale indicator
returns to zero. If you attempt a transaction before the indicator
returns to zero, the following warning appears: Next transaction
cannot begin until scale returns to zero.
Tolerance is the amount the indicator can fluctuate when there is no
load on the scale. When you specify a tolerance weight, TransAct
recognizes a Zero Return, + or – the tolerance weight. Enter a
positive weight for this field. The tolerance is used exclusively with
the Zero Return property.
Adjustments
TransAct provides two Adjustments fields. When the operator
enters a description in either box, adjustment option boxes appear
in the Transaction Detail form. If you do not enter a description, the
Adjustments option boxes do not appear.
Adjustment 1—Percent of Load Label
Use the percent load label when
splitting a load between two or
more items. Enter meaningful text
in this box and click the Multiple
Ticket Items box to turn the feature
on. Using the Percent of Load
feature only requires the truck to
weigh in and out one time. The Weight In, weight Out, and Net
weight remain the same; however, TransAct calculates changes
using the percent entered. The status bar at the bottom of the Weigh
form will display the adjusted charge calculation.
Example: A recycling center allows a hauler to bring recyclable
materials for commercial and residential customers in the same
load. However, the recycling center needs to track how much of the
load is commercial and how much is residential. The hauler
informs the recycling center attendant that 60% of the load is
commercial and 40% of the load is residential. During the transaction,
the attendant enters 60% in the % Load field. When the attendant
