The Enter Weights - Weight Entry dialog is used to enter one or more weight values for an item on an invoice. Item weights must be supplied for all catchweight items. In addition, items with a unit of measure of LB., must also have a shipping weight entered before the invoice can be properly extended. This section details the use of the Enter Weights dialog, which is used to record the weight(s) of a single line item on an invoice.

 

At the top of the enter weights window the item number and description are displayed in the Item field, so you can be certain that you are entering the weight information for the correct item. This information is read-only and cannot be edited.

 

A weight field will appear for each unit of the item in the weight entry grid. If the customer ordered 25 units, then 25 boxes will be available to enter the weights. Type the unit weight in the edit box and press the Enter key. Repeat this process until a weight has been entered for each unit.

 

 

 

The Qty Shipped, unit of measure, minimum, and maximum weight are displayed to the left of the weight entry grid.

 

The total weight for the line item will be displayed in the Total Weight field. This field is automatically updated as weights are entered.
