Default Material Direction
Click inside the circle to select the direction of material flow for
your application. Is material entering your site like it would at a
landfill, or is material leaving your site like a gravel quarry?
Note:
The Default Material Direction only applies when a transaction
uses tare weights.
Multiple Ticket Items
When you turn on Multiple Ticket Items, you enable TransAct to
place items of different category types and different units of
measure on the same ticket. Using a landfill application as an
example, a single ticket could contain separate items for 2500
pounds of garbage, 1000 pounds of demolition material, and 5
appliances. TransAct calculates a charge for each item and stores
the charges separately in the database. You can choose to group
these charges together and total them when printing a ticket.
Click inside the check box (mark with an X) to turn on Multiple
Ticket Items.
Badge Reader Properties
You can use badge reader equipment (i.e. magnetic strip, bar code,
RFID) to create an automated or semi-automated system. TransAct
stores the badge number in the customer database and uses this
badge number to identify a truck. The badge reader sends information
to Transact to start the transaction. TransAct matches the badge
number to the customer, then displays the customer’s information
in the Transaction Detail form.
Badge Reader Preferences allow you to set up parameters for these
badge readers. The Preamble is a string of characters preceding the
decoded data used by wedge decoders to differentiate between a
keyboard input and a badge input. . When available, use the Auto
Store Ticket option to automatically save the transaction once the
scale weight stabilizes. If you select the Auto Print Ticket option,
the ticket prints, and the transaction completes automatically.
Ticket Format File
The Ticket Format File contains information from the database that
is printed on the customer’s ticket. During installation, TransAct
installs a default ticket file for the appropriate application you
selected, Solid Waste or General.
