Truck Number
Each truck must have an alpha-numeric Number . The truck number may be up to ten characters in
length. An account cannot have duplicate truck numbers. However, the same truck number can be used
by other accounts.
Tare Weight
The tare weight can be manually entered into the Truck Table . Use the Update Tares button in the Weigh
form to update tares using the weight from the scale.
Set Date
When a Tare Weight is entered, the Set Date field is automatically set to the current date (computer
date). This date is used to calculate the expiration date when the AutoTareExpire feature is used. See
Editing the TransAct Initialization File in the Appendix for more information on using the AutoTareExpire
feature.
Expire Date
The tare weight can have an expiration date. Use this field when routine tare weight checks are part of
your process. A warning appears during a transaction if a tare has expired. The operator can choose to
use the expired tare or reject the expired tare and do a weigh in/weigh out transaction.
