Note is a user definable field. It is most often used to import data from or export data to a
3rd party accounting package. The field label can be changed by editing the initialization
file.
Default Material
During ticket processing, the initial material code can be retrieved from the truck history,
the job/order or the bill-to account default values. If the material code remains unset
(None) then the material designated as the default material in this form will be used. Only
one material can be designated as the default.
Allow Price Overrides
If checked, the operator will be allowed to manually enter prices for this material from
the Weigh screen. Otherwise, prices from the price table are used and cannot be changed.
To manually enter prices, the operator must select the "Override Rates" price table which
will display a pop up screen where prices can be entered.
Mix/Load Out
In some applications, trucks will drive under a storage bin and are loaded under program
control to a specified target weight. This is called a load out system. Checking this box
designates this material as a load out material.
SubCat1, SubCat2
Material codes can be further grouped into subcategories. For example, materials could
be grouped by type (e.g. Rock, Sand, Crushed Stone) or by yard location (e.g. North,
South, East, West)..Subcategory title and entries are defined in the initialization file. Two
subcategories are available. (Subcategories are also available for Prices and user defined
Categories).
Conversions
Two conversion factors are available to convert pounds to a user defined unit of measure.
The conversion feature is turned on with entries in the initialization file. You can
calculate material charges based on user defined units along with printing them on the
ticket.
Inventory
A very simple inventory system is available for each material. You enter a beginning
inventory amount and the program will automatically calculate ending inventory by
adding incoming and subtracting outgoing transaction amounts. Inventory is updated
after each ticket is processed and whenever an Inventory report is generated.
