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 after all this the material code remains unset
(None) then the material designated as the default material 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 a Inventory report is generated.
To activate inventory tracking for a material a unit of measure (UOM) must be specified: pounds,
tons, yard or units.
The ticket UOM will automatically be set to inventory UOM during ticket processing.
