The Enter Weights 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.

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 shipped quantity, unit of measure, minimum, and maximum weight are displayed to the left of the weight entry grid.
