- Stored Tare Weights and Inbound Weighing
- Stored tare weights can now be applied when ticketing on Inbound orders. A new value found in Settings allows you to set this value to NEVER, ALWAYS, or PROMPT during ticketing. When set to always get the stored tare weight from the cloud, the app will not require you to save a tare on their way out of the yard.
- Expanded Material Quantities and Values
- In the past, decimals were not allowed on certain units of measure. This has been changed. While ticketing, decimals can now be entered on most unit types (except for unit type “Loads”).
- We have provided support for larger integers up to 999,999.99 for customers tracking items like gallons, barrels, or other large-quantity sales
- Tare from the Ticketing Screen
- We have added an option to tare from the ticketing screen. This allows you to tare a truck without going to the truck menu from the main ticketing screen. **This requires you to change the “Allow tare when ticketing” setting to YES. This also requires the Truck/Order/Product to be selected first.
- Fixed issues with running certain scale reports from Fast-Weigh 10 desktop scale application.
Web Portal Updates

- When tickets are uploaded to Portal, you can now send notifications to your customers via email with ticket number, truck/hauler, order/product, data/time, and net quantity. This new optional module must be turned on for each customer. If interested, please call or email support@tacinsight.com for additional information.

Backed up configurations can then be restored from the Web Portal.This also makes all basic scale system information available online for troubleshooting.
