selects Print Ticket, a decision window appears. Click Add a
Percent of Load Item to add the next item at 40%.
Reports display the adjusted weight. In most cases, the adjusted
weight equals the Net weight. TransAct stores the adjusted percent
with the completed transaction ticket. You can view the adjusted
percent using the Quick Scan feature (see Section 10.1).
Adjustment 2—Percent Decrease Label
Use this adjustment when
changes affect a single load.
Enter meaningful text in this
box to turn the feature on. The
Weight In, weight Out, and
Net weight remain the same;
however, TransAct calculates charges using the percent entered.
The status bar at the bottom of the Weigh form displays the adjusted
charge calculation.
Example: Grain elevators will take moisture into account when
weighing a trailer. TransAct weighs the trailer and stores the
weight. The driver then unloads the grain, and the grain is tested for
a moisture percentage. For the weigh-out procedure, the attendant
enters the moisture percentage in the %decrease box. The Weight
In, weight Out, and Net weight will not change; however, TransAct
uses the adjustment % to calculate the charge.
The adjusted weight prints on reports, and on the ticket, if desired.
TransAct stores the adjusted percent with the completed transaction
ticket. The operator can view the ticket using the Quick Scan
feature under the Reporting… menu.
Charge Rounding Properties
Rounding applies to the base charge
only. TransAct adds Sales Tax,
Minimum Charges, and Fixed
Charges to the base charge. For
example, if you set Rounding to the
next higher $10, and Sales Tax is
5.5%, then TransAct rounds a $98 charge to $100. TransAct then
calculates tax on the $100 rounded charge for a total charge of
$105.50.
By default, rounding is to the nearest penny. Use this section to
modify the rounding parameters. You can choose to round charges
