Figure 178. Setting the number of decimal places for conversion
To use a conversion rate, TransAct will use the
Yard
column for
Factor1
rate and the
Count
column for
Factor2
rate in the
Rates
table.
Figure 179. Entering Conversion Rates
Make sure the weight column (e.g.
Pounds
or
Tons
) is 0 for the materials that are converted. Then, set
a value for the
Yard
column to charge based on
Factor1
or set a value for the
Count
column to charge
by
Factor2.
TransAct automatically converts the
Yard
or
Count
rate into a per-pound rate and displays
the charge at the bottom of the
Transaction Details
form.
Also displayed on the bottom of the screen is the first letter of the converted unit followed by the value.
For example, G 7200.0 represents 7200 Gallons.
In
Quick Scan
, TransAct displays the rate as a per-pound rate and shows the converted values.
