entrée attempts to determine and total the weight for each line item on the invoice and display the total weight of the invoice in this field. Depending on how the item is setup in the inventory file will determine what values will be used in determining the total weight. The following list details what entrée looks for when calculating the total weight.

 

1.If an item has a Tare Weight Multiplier defined in Inventory File Maintenance...

 

Catchweight items

Weight Shipped * Tare Weight

Estimated catchweight items

Estimated Weight Shipped * Tare Weight

Constant weight items

Constant Weight * Qty Shipped * Tare Weight

Price by unit items

Gross Weight * Qty Shipped * Tare Weight

(This option only applies if the item's gross weight is not 0)

 

2.If an item does not have a Gross Weight defined in Inventory File Maintenance...

 

Catchweight items

Weight Shipped

Estimated catchweight items

Estimated Weight Shipped

Constant weight items

Constant Weight * Qty Shipped

 

3.Otherwise the formula Gross Weight * Qty Shipped is used.
