Using the Ticketing App

Creating Tickets in Fast-Weigh is streamlined by the Fast-Weigh Ticketing App.

When the app is launched you will be greeted by the Ticketing Screen. This is effectively the "Home" Screen.

Navigating the App

Clicking the 3 lines in the top left corner of the app will show the Icon Labels:

The same is true for the 3 Dots in the top right corner:

Anytime you see a List Icon next to a Field it will open the associated list

For Example, Click the List Icon next to the Truck Field on the Ticketing Screen to view the Truck List:

Use the search box at the top of the List to filter down results:

The Truck List Search Box can match the following fields: Truck IDs, Hauler Names, License, AutoID, and Driver.

Creating Tickets

By default, there are only 5 required fields for creating a ticket: Truck, Customer, Order, Product, Weight.

Select the appropriate records by either typing the ID into the field or clicking the List Icon to search the associated list.

Optionally, a Ticket Note can be added by clicking the Ticket Note Button and typing into the text box:

Once you have selected the correct records, capture the weight for the ticket. This can be done a number of ways:

  1. If you do not have a scale connected to Fast-Weigh, type the weight into the Weight Field

  2. If you have a scale connected, click the weight field and then hit "Enter" on your keyboard or Click the Weight displayed in the bottom left:

The Ticketing App will show you a breakdown of Gross, Tare, and Net in Pounds and Tons (or Kilograms and Tonnes depending on settings) once you have captured a weight. Click Print if you want to create the ticket with this information.

Congratulations! You just created a ticket in the Fast-Weigh Ticketing App. The ticket will automatically sync to the web portal.

Bulk Updating Open Order Pricing

Once your current pricing templates have been updated with the new pricing, you can use the powerful Open Order Price Update tool to do a price update on all open orders across the board.

Updating pricing through the Open Order Update Tool will also update ALL unbilled tickets for the Orders that are affected. If you wish to preserve any prices for current tickets, make sure to batch tickets through the Billing module. Due to the extensive changes applied by this tool and the potential for error if used without caution, this tool is reserved for Admin user accounts only. This tool is used to enact mass, system-wide updates. This cannot be undone! Use with care! We highly recommend using the "Price Update Review" report under the Orders category to review the pricing and orders that will be affected by a mass price update.

Before Updating

  1. Navigate to "Reports" > "Reports - New Tab"

If you do not choose a customer, the changes will apply across all customers

How to Update Pricing

Before you can add products to an order, they must have default pricing set up for the locations where those orders will be ticketed.

Managing Product Pricing


Adding and Editing Product Pricing

The first step for setting up your Products & Pricing is to create the Products, Product Locations, and Pricing Templates. Please go to the Adding & Managing Products article if you have not done this yet.

Remember: the default pricing set up on the Products screen is not completely inflexible. The final place where product pricing can be edited is at the Order level. Any pricing changes you make on the Order will override the default pricing you set up under Resources > Products.

  • Go to Resources > Products > Products & Pricing.

  • On the [Product Pricing] tab, enter in the filters for the Product Pricing you wish to set and click [Refresh].

    • This will load all of the Products that are available to add default pricing to for the set parameters.

  • To add or edit a default price, find the specific Product, Location, and Price Template in the list and then click on the pencil icon to edit it.

  • This will bring up a text box inside of the table where you can enter in the Current Price and a Proposed Price. After the desired price has been entered, click the check mark to save or the prohibit symbol to delete.

    • Note: The Proposed Price is an optional tool to "stage" a price change. You can enter in a new price before enacting a price update that can be applied to the Current Price in bulk later on.

Once a Price is set, you will then see the [More] button where you can add in additional default pricing.

  • Add in an optional .

  • Add in a Default Surcharge and set the Surcharge Type.

  • If you use Price Adjustments, you can set default Adjustments for the Template.

  • Click the [Save] button to save the extra defaults.

  • Repeat this process for each product and Template that will be used for Ticketing.

New Pricing Tools

This article will outline the use case and nuance of our new pricing tools.

As of Sept. 1st 2024 we updated our web portal to include new pricing and repricing options for tickets. This article will lay out where these tools can be found and how to utilize them.

Where the tools are located and how they work:

Ticket Query

There is now a "Pricing" column in the ticket query:

Ticket Query with Pricing column

You will see the button in the pricing column until you batch your tickets. Once you have batched your tickets you will see the following in the pricing column:

Pricing column after tickets have been batched

Clicking the button in the ticket query will pull up Edit Ticket Pricing window:

Edit Ticket Pricing pop-up for ticket ran on Charge Show order

Edit Ticket Pricing pop-up

First lets look at rates and the Lock Rate option:

Ticket rates and lock rate checkboxes on Edit Ticket Pricing

Changing the rate in this pop-up will change the rates for the particular ticket when it comes time to batch your tickets. You may check the "Lock Rate" box to lock any or all of the rates on a particular ticket to ensure the rates do not get updated when batching via the Reprice Checkbox on the New Billing screen, more on this later.

Next lets look at Tax Code, Update Tickets, and the Update Order Product checkboxes:

Tax Code, Update Tickets and Update Order Product checkboxes on Edit Ticket Pricing

You may use the Tax Code drop down to change the Tax Code on the particular ticket. If you need to change the tax code on all of the unbilled tickets on an order for a particular products you can check the Update Tickets checkbox to accomplish this. Checking the Update Tickets checkbox will update the tax code on all unbilled tickets that share the same order product.

The Update Order Product checkbox will take any changes you made to the ticket and apply them to the order product for any future tickets ran on the order. This will also allow you to make an edit to a single ticket and reprice in bulk while in the new billing screen via use of "Reprice Selected Tickets" or the Reprice Checkbox. See New Billing Reprice for more on this.

Edit Ticket Pricing for different Pay Types

Cash Pay Type Edit Ticket Pricing Defaults

Lock Rates are checked by default on tickets that are ran on an order with a Cash pay type set. Cash pay types include Cash, Check, and Credit Card.

Charge Pay Type Edit Ticket Pricing Defaults

Lock Rates are unchecked by default on tickets ran on an order with a Charge pay type. Charge pay types include Charge Show and Charge Hide.

Pay Types are set at the order level. Be sure to check the order to confirm what pay type the ticket was ran as. See Orders for more information on pay types.

Orders

There are two places within an order that include repricing tickets, the first is in the Update Products window:

Click to open the Update Products window:

Update Products window in an order

This window allows you to easily update all products on an order. Take care to notice the Reprice Unbilled Tickets checkbox here, as if you leave this checked once you click "Save" all of the unbilled tickets for that order will reflect the new rates that were set. See Orders if you would like more information on the fields in this window.

The second place to reprice tickets is in the order product edit screen:

Order product edit screen in an order

You can now use the order product edit screen to reprice all unbilled tickets for a particular product on an order. You may also uncheck this box if you need your current unbilled tickets to maintain the previous pricing.

Billing - New Billing

There are three places in the New Billing tab of the Billing screen that allow you to change ticket pricing, and the first is another Pricing column similar to the Ticket Query:

Pricing column in New Billing tab of Billing screen

When you first click the button you will see the following pop-up:

Pricing button pop-up in New Billing

This pop-up is to alert you that the tickets that are checked as selected will be reset. In this case, if you were to only have one ticket selected and click "Ok" on this pop-up it will reset to all tickets being checked. Once you click "Ok" you will be met with the same Edit Ticket Pricing pop-up from the Ticket Query.

Edit Ticket Pricing in New Billing screen

The options here function the same as the Edit Ticket Pricing from the Ticket Query.

The next two places in the New Billing screen that you will find repricing tools are the button and the Reprice Checkbox():

Reprice Selected Tickets button and Reprice Checkbox in New Billing screen

Reprice Selected Tickets Button

The Reprice Selected Tickets button will reprice all tickets selected in the billing screen to match the pricing that is set on the order product. This action is completed immediately after clicking the button, so ensure you are certain you would like to change pricing before clicking the button.

If you typically run Pre-Billing Pricing Verification reports before batching tickets and your ticket pricing seems off on the report we recommend Repricing Selected Tickets and double checking the report. This typically sets the pricing to what is expected.

Reprice Checkbox

The Reprice Checkbox functionally does the same thing as the Reprice Selected Tickets button, however the action is completed at the time of creating a batch. If the Reprice Checkbox is checked, then when you click the button the tickets being batched will be repriced to match what is set on the order product.

Ticket Bulk Edit

Detailed information on the Ticket Bulk Edit tab of the Tickets module.

The Ticket Bulk Edit tab allows you to query and edit multiple tickets in one go. Find the tickets you would like to edit by using filters just like in the Ticket Query.

Ticket Bulk Edit Query and Table

Once you have queried for the tickets you are looking for, you can use the or buttons to either select every ticket present in the table or clear all selections to easily pick the specific tickets you would like to edit.

Any ticket that is checked will take the edit, so ensure you have selected the appropriate tickets you would like to edit before making changes.

Editing tickets in Ticket Bulk Edit

Editable fields in Ticket Bulk Edit

You can make any changes to Region, Order, Description, Product, Tax Code, and Ticket Date that is necessary.

You can change PO Number, Job, Phase, and Cost Type though these fields are not required.

Once you have made any necessary changes click the button, and the tickets will now show the updated information.

Projects

Here you are able to create projects for use with setting up a quote or multiple quotes. You can click + New Project to create a new project, and you set the Project Name, Project Description, Owner Name, and Start Date. The Status will default to Active but you can change this if need be.

Once you have created projects you will see them in the table and be able to Edit or Delete them. If you have many projects you can use the Search function to find a specific project.

Now you are able to add quotes to a project when creating a quote!

Customer Credit

The Customer Credit section allows you to apply credits or debits from your customer accounts. These could be manual adjustments for applying a "good customer" credit, an over payment on an invoice, or deductions for various fees.

Click the image to expand.

When selecting a customer, you will need to click the search icon and select the customer from the list, or enter their customer information in the new window.

Then, you will apply the credit or debit by clicking the [+New Transaction] button.

In the new window you will select between the transaction date and type, then apply the amount and a description of the transaction as a reference. A transaction date can be selected for a future date if you wish for the credit to be available at a later time.

After the transaction has been saved by clicking [✓Update], it will reflect those transaction details in the main table, including the date, type, description, amount, the created date, and the user who initiated the transaction. This information can also be referenced through our reporting tool under the Accounts Receivable category.

Manual Adjustments - Receiving Inventory

Products that are supplied to your locations by other vendors, freight, or rail and are not ticketed via Fast-Weigh will need to be applied by a Manual Adjustment called Receiving. This can be done the same as setting the initial quantity. If you are you are adjusting the Current Inventory without an incoming amount, skip to the next section.

The Receiving/Incoming column will reflect this adjustment, as well as the Current Inventory column.

Manual Adjustments - Adjustments

Adjustments should be used when the quantity is changed or verified to be different than the tracked amount. Perhaps a truck was filled with the wrong product, dumped, and then filled with the correct product before leaving the Yard, but no Inbound ticket is created to "return" the material.

  1. Search or select the product from the upper table.

  2. Click the [+New] button in the lower table.

  3. In the New Adjustment table, select Adjustment from the Entry Type drop down.

The previous action will be removed from the lower table.


Tracking Inventory

Fast-Weigh will automatically track any ticketed Inbound and Outbound orders for these products.

Status Update

Assignment

Detailed information on the Assignment tab within the Trucks module

Here you are able to assign trucks to particular Orders and Order Products, and this makes it easier to ticket on this truck as the scale operators will only need to enter the Truck ID when ticketing on the assigned truck.

Assignment table

When you click on the Assignment tab you will see a table with all of your assignments listed, and you are able to Search or use the Filter Funnels to narrow your search to a specific assignment. You are able to clear an assignment by clicking the "X Clear" button in the assignment table.

Once you have filled out the above fields you just need to check one or more trucks to be assigned to the order product, and once you click "Save" the truck(s) will now be assigned to a specific order product!

Assignment on Ticketing App

Here will just be a quick example of how the truck assignment translates to the Ticketing App, and how it will look to the scale operator ticketing the trucks.

Fast Weigh ticketing app

Above is how the ticketing app appears before ticketing. The truck assignment cuts down on the time it takes to set up a ticket for a specific truck. Using the example in the previous image of the assignment table:

Truck assignment example

When ticketing on a specific truck that has been assigned to a product, the ticketing app will automatically fill out the Customer, Order, and Product fields so that the operator should only need to enter the weight of the truck.

The truck will remain assigned to the particular product until the assignment has been Cleared from the assignments page

Clearing an Assignment

To clear an assignment simply click the "X Clear" button in the assignment table on the assignment you wish to clear.

Clear assignment pop-up

Click "Ok" on the pop-up and the assignment will be cleared, and once the Ticketing App has been synced the truck will no longer populate the Order, Customer, and Product automatically.

Ticket Import

Detailed information on the Ticket Import tab of the Tickets module.

Analytics

Utilizing Microsoft Power BI, our Analytics module contains the most powerful reporting tool used by Fast-Weigh, providing you with organizational data pulled from each module enabled with your Fast-Weigh account.

Each module allows you to review a variety of metric data generated by your organization. Some of these useful reports include Quotes Won, Product Usage, and Orders by Customer.

This is an example of the main Billing an Sales menu.

Using Analytics, you have more control over the data requested and how this information is relayed using pre-built charts and graphs. Each Category has its own submenu at the base of the main window. This allows you to segregate the information by fixed parameters without needing to filter further. However, each menu does offer it's own filters, allowing more granular control over the requested information.

Click the image to expand.

In the above image, we're using the Billing and Sales category, and have the Sales by Customer submenu selected. On the right section of this screen we have the option of filtering further to display information specific to this submenu. Each listing in the table to the left can also be collapsed to removing any unnecessary information.

Exporting from Analytics

Once you have your desired information available or narrowed down, you can export this various aspects of your data. Clicking the More Options will allow a handful of additional sorting features, as well as the option to Export.

Exporting between selections will vary. Some tables will be available as they are displayed, some as a summary, and others as the Underlying data. Exports can be made in both .csv and .xlsx file types.

If there is a specific section of data you with to export in a report, you can select "Show as a Table", which will isolate the information as a table and allow you to export only that information.

Pay Terms

Pay Terms allows you to set up your payment terms and billing modes. These terms and codes should be set up in conjunction with your Accounts Receivable Terms Codes.

Billing Terms

These are used in each customer’s profile to further isolate records selected during a billing cycle selection. As an example you might setup the following billing methods:

Once Terms and Billing modes are set up, go to Resources > Customers and edit your customers to assign these Terms to each customer record.

  • Adding a particular billing mode to a customer profile allows you to select tickets for billing based on the customer’s assigned method.

Locations

Fast-Weigh has a 3-tier operating location structure: Regions, Locations, and Yards. This allows flexibility for organizations of all sizes to manage their production. You may have as many or as few of each structure as you need to properly reflect your organizations needs.


Regions

This is the highest level of your organization. Generally, these are related to a primary or branch office, but can be used to segregate your area of operations between states or cities. Once a Region has been created, highlighting it again will show any active Locations in this table.

Any information necessary to your organization should be entered as accurate as possible.

  • Name: The name of the selected region.

  • Description: A brief description of the region.

  • AR/AP Cost Center: Available from your accounting software.

  • ERP/Accounting Code: Available from your accounting software.

  • Remit Name: The name displayed on your invoice emails.

  • Address Information: The address listed in your invoice remit emails.

  • Phone: The primary contact number for this region.

  • Email: The primary contact email for this region.

  • Remit Note: Any information needed to convey in an invoice email, such as payment instructions.

  • Quote Note: Any information needed to convey in a quote, such as further inquiry instructions.

  • Email From: The email address that will display for the intended recipient.

  • Email Reply To Addresses: Emails that will be redirected to when a customer replies.

Remit Name and Address will display on your invoices. If you have multiple avenues for your customers, this should be the primary billing or payment information. Other information should be noted in the Remit Note field.


Locations

Once a region is created, you will need to create a Location, which are the quarry or pit locations operating within a given region. Locations are tied to ticketing devices, so you will need to set up one for each device. Please email us at or call 865-219-2980 during business hours to purchase any additional licenses. Once created, highlighting a Location will show any active associated Yards.

The only information needed here is the Name field. While the others are optional it is best to enter as much information as possible.


Yards

These will be the various quarries or pits within a Location. You can create one or many Yards to organize your materials, but keep in mind each Yard will require to be setup.

Again, the only needed information is a Name for the Yard, but it is best to enter as much information as needed by your organization. When creating a yard, you also have the option of selected a geo-location by selecting one after clicking the [Map]. This will autopopulate the lat/long fields.

Ticket Entry

Detailed information on the Ticket Entry tab of the Tickets Module.

The Ticket Entry tab is a useful tool that can be utilized to enter tickets quickly. An example that would lead to the use of this tab would be if the scale house had to write paper tickets for a day or a portion of the day.

There are two sections to this screen. On the left is where you will enter the details of the ticket needing to be entered into the Fast Weigh database, and on the right is where the tickets will be stored until you are ready to save them to the database.

Ticket Entry in the Web Portal

Job, Phase, Cost Type, and PO Number are fields you may or may not use on your tickets. These are not required to successfully enter a ticket.

The UDF fields above can be set up in Portal Settings, and are not required.

Once you have filled out all of the necessary fields for the ticket you just need to click the button. This will store the ticket in the table to the right.

The ticket detail information will remain filled out with all the previously entered information except Ticket # and Net Units. This is so that you may enter multiple tickets for the same customer quickly.

Ticket Table in Ticket Entry

Once you have added your tickets to the table you have a few options. You can either Edit, Delete, or Save the tickets in the table.

To edit a ticket that is in the table you simply have to click on the ticket and the information on the left side will populate with that ticket's information. You may make any edits to this ticket and click the button.

To delete a ticket you just click the button. You will be given the following prompt:

If you are certain you need to delete the ticket you can click OK and the ticket will be removed from the Ticket Entry Table.

To save the tickets to the Fast Weigh Database click the button at the bottom of the table. Once you save the tickets to the database you will be able to view these tickets in your Ticket Query and bill/invoice them as you would any other ticket.

Balance Dashboard

Reviewing Your Outstand Balances

The Balance Dashboard page allows you to review your outstanding invoices, check your Customers' Credit Standings, and navigate directly to the screen.

Across the top of the screen, you will see a complete overview of all of your outstanding invoices, organized by the number of days since the Invoice Date.

This page will also show a table of all Customers with Open Invoices, along with an option to drill down into the details of an Invoice. The customer view for this screen has a [Payment] button available if they are enabled for Self-Pay.

The table below the balance header displays the customer selected, or all customers if none are selected, and the following information:

  • Terms: The billing terms set for this customer.

  • Credit Limit: The credit limit applied for this customer.

  • Invoices: The amount of invoices available for the customer.

  • Balance Due: The total balance due from the invoices.

  • Overdue Balance: The total balance due after the Due Date has been surpassed.

  • Credit Standing: Provides a snapshot of the customers credit status

  • Credit Status: The status set on the customer under Resources>Customer.

The Credit Standing button will only show when a Credit Limit has been set for a Customer.

Clicking on the Credit Standing button will bring a new window detailing the current credit status of the Customer—including any tickets that have not yet been invoiced.


Statements

There are a few options when selecting statements, which will allow you to print all available statements (which will provide .PDFs), sending all statements to the contact emails, or allow for individual statements to be viewed.

Print All Statements will provide all statements as a .PDF. Depending on the selection, you can select only statements that do not have an associated email address. This allows you to print a physical copy of the invoice to be sent via traditional mail.

Send All Statements will send all statements to the associated email. There is no prompt for this action to select specific emails. You will need to ensure that the customer has a requested email or other contact listed for invoices in their Resources>Customer profile.

Statement will allow you to view an individual statement from the highlighted customer line. This information is the same information listed in the table when clicking the arrow to the left of the Customer.

Custom Reports

Though we offer a large number of default reports, ticket formats, invoice formats, quote formats, and hauler pay formats, we understand that some customers need highly customized reports to fit their operations.

To add a Custom Report, Ticket, or Quote to your Fast-Weigh subscription, contact us at 865-219-2980 or .

Customized Reports

If your company needs to be able to view reporting information that cannot be generated using a default report, our reporting team can work with you to modify an existing report or create a brand new report to fit your needs. We can customize almost every aspect of our reports to make sure you get the information you need from your Fast-Weigh suite.

Additionally, we can modify or create reports to be used as . These work a bit differently than regular reports (since they do not use standard reporting parameters), so a custom report will require additional work by our team to copy over as a Scheduled Report.

Customized Tickets

We understand that your company may need scale tickets to reflect information specific to your business, so we offer the ability to use a customized ticket format. A customized scale ticket can be formatted to show additional information pulled from the Web Portal or hard-coded directly onto the ticket or to hide information that is not necessary for your business.

Customized Quotes/Invoices/Hauler Pay Statements

Our quotes, invoices, and hauler pay statements can also be completely customized. While our default formats display relevant information with a simple design, we can modify these formats to suit your needs. We are also able to make changes to the information that is shown on these reports, though we recommend keeping the costing information relatively close to the default formats.

Streamline your material sales and payment collection process. Fast-Weigh AR & Payments offers low-cost processing rates with no hidden fees and allows you to deposit funds in the bank of your choice.


Invoices

From the Invoices tab, you can review all of your Open, Settled, or Credited Invoices. If you wish to close an Invoice without payment, you can Settle the Invoice. Once an Invoice has been settled, you will have the option to re-open it from this screen. You also have the ability to post adjustments to your invoices prior to accepting payments for discounts or any missed fees that may not have been applied. These adjustments are made in the Invoice Adjustment Types menu.

Click the image to expand.

The invoices page contains all invoices between the entered dates. This may result in multiple entries for the same customer. Clicking the arrow next to the customers name will expand this menu, allowing you to view the tickets contained in the invoices and their totals.

Click the image to expand

The two furthest right columns allow for a review of an invoice or adjustment an invoice. When clicking to view an invoice, you will be prompted to select a report type. If you have more than one report type, you will need to select the correct version.

To edit or adjust an invoice, select the button. This will open a new window, allowing you to select the Invoice Status and apply adjustments and/or notes for the settlement.

Invoice Statues

When selecting an invoice status, you will have the option of selecting from three different types: Open, Closed, and Settled.


Payments

The Payments menu allows you to review payments made on your invoices or issue refunds.

Click the image to expand.

Similar to the Invoices screen, the information presented can result in multiple entries for the same customer, and clicking the arrow to the left of the customer will display the payment information. Instead of viewing the tickets associated with the invoices, you will see the total value of the invoices and the batch name.

Receipt and Refund

Similar to the Invoice screen, the furthest two columns on the right contain the options to review or refund the payments made. If a payment is made, the Receipt button will provide a .pdf including the payment details present on the main table.

A Refund can be issued on any payment, but you must select a method in which it is issued.

Original Payment Method: Returns the payment to the origin source for credit cards or ACH payments. Cash and check payments

Apply to Customer Credit: Refunds the payment total to the selected customers account as an available credit.

Refunds cannot be undone, so it is best to review all information prior to issuing one.

Resources

The Resources tab contains all the information your organization needs to use Fast-Weigh, including the customers, products, and locations which you will be ticketing on.


Customers

The Customer view will show a snapshot of all of your customers, and allow you to add, edit, or delete them as needed.

External Customers

If you are migrating your customer base to Fast Weigh from another system, you can use the + External Customer import option. You can view a sample of the import format here.

New Customer

When adding a new or potential Customer to Fast Weigh, this area allows you to insert key information useful to managing their account, such as contacts within their organization, billing terms and tax codes, and their preferred payment method.


Products

Products & Pricing

The Products & Pricing sub-menu allows you to setup products, pricing templates, assign locations, or apply a surcharge. Products are setup in the Product Listing to contain a product ID and a unit of measurement. If you have created a product category, you can assign this category to each product. This is helpful as a reference for products that you may not use often or are entered as measurements.

The Product Location is used to assign a product to a single location or multiple, allowing the product to be used when ticketing at those locations.

Pricing Templates are used when you are setting up the Product Pricing. After creating the template in the Product Setup tab, you will select the Template from the dropdown menu, and then adjust the pricing.

Product Categories

Creating a Product Category will allow you to assign Products to a certain group. For example, you may be using multiple types of stone or gravel. Differentiating between the two when creating pricing becomes easier when a category for either is selected.


Locations

Regions

A Region can be associated with a state, business, or other geographical location. Think about this as a house, while the Locations would be the rooms, and the Yards would be the beds. Clicking Region will show the Locations associated with it.

Locations

A Location would be the primary location of the pit or quarry that operates within the Region. The Locations are tied to ticketing devices, which will need to be set up before the Fast Weigh Desktop Application can be used. Clicking into the Region will show the Locations associated with it, and clicking Locations will show the associated Yards.

Yards

Yards associated with each Location differ in the material being provided or received. Each Yard will need to have its own Product Pricing and Product Setup completed before Orders can be placed.


Billing

If you are using external accounting software, please refer to our Accounting Interfaces for assistance with the below terms.

Tax Codes

Tax Codes are used internally when associated with a product or customer based on their Location. These can include a Material, Freight, or Surcharge. A Secondary Tax Rate can be used to associate any VAT, city, or local taxes. This can be enabled in the Portal Settings.

Pay Terms

Payment Terms are used in Billing to associate with Customers billing periods. After creating the term, you will associate them with the Customer.

Billing Modes are used within each Customer profile to further isolate records selected during a billing cycle. Adding a particular Billing Mode to a profile allows you to select tickets for billing based on the assigned method.

Price Adjustments

With Price Adjustments, you can easily establish pricing adjustments and add them to multiple order and quote products. Price Adjustments can be set up using multiple calculations, and then up to three can be applied per product.

The Price Adjustments module is an additional module. To add this to your Fast-Weigh subscription, please contact us at 865-219-2980 or [email protected]

Invoice Adjustments

Invoice Adjustments are used when applying a percentage charge or credit on an invoice. For example, a Tax Exempt Credit Card Processing Fee, Late Payment Fee, or a Payment Discount.

Customer Payment Info

Customer Payment Information such as Credit Card or ACH can be stored to use as Default payment types.

Pay to User Assignment

Pay To User Assignment is used to associate payment terminals to customer or users. Fast-Weigh recommends Basys payment systems. Please contact the Fast-Weigh support team to assist with this integration.


Truck Types

Truck Types can be entered as defaults when setting up new Trucks for customers or Haulers. This will apply the Weight, Volume, and Tare when selected.

The first screen you will see on the New Payments page will display any open invoices for the selected Customer that have not yet been paid.

On this table, the edit button allows you to modify the Amount to Pay if a Customer wishes to remit a partial payment or overpayment for an Invoice. The Remove button will remove a single Ticket from an Invoice. The Apply to Credit button allows for you to enter an amount from the customer credit balance to the selected invoice.

After the desired invoices are selected, you will see the payment menu refresh with the collected invoice totals. You will select the payment method and adjust the Payment Amount Total if necessary. In some cases, a customer may request an overpayment to be applied to their customer credit balance, which will reflect that amount associated in the field.

The Payment Date is the date the payment was made and will default to the current date.

The Reference Number will be available for Cash and Check payments and can be used to add in a reference number for your records.

The Payment Note is for any extra information that needs to be recorded with the payment.

When selecting the Payment Method for Card, you will have a new "Pay To" option added to select the payment processors. For assistance with the payment processors and terminals, please contact the Fast-Weigh support team.

Tickets

The tickets menu displays "loose" cash tickets that have yet to be paid.

This does not create a batch - you will not find the tickets under New Billing.

Click the image to expand

The information differs from the invoices in that it contains the ticket information such as products and orders. After determining the correct tickets, select the desired tickets bu clicking the checkboxes to the left of the ticket number. The right of the cash ticket table will automatically calculate the Invoice Amount Total, and the Invoice Date will default to the current date.

Invoices can be distributed by email or text if available.

When selecting tickets to invoice and then distribute, a contact may not be available for the selected customer. First clicking the [Configure] will display the available contacts, then by clicking the [Edit Contacts] button another can be added. Once the tickets for the Cash Invoice are selected and the Invoice Date is set, click Create Invoice to add the Cash Invoice to the Invoices tab. Once the Cash Invoice has been added, you can then submit a payment for the Customer.

    • This field is limited to 10 characters. Generally, this Batch Number will be in a date or Region + date format.

      • For example: A batch created for a region named “West” on 10/15/2016 could be batched as W-101516.

Click the image to expand.

Contained in this menu is the [Action] button, which will allow you to clear the invoice or to issue a Credit/Rebill, which credits invoice, creates credit memo, and creates new tickets for rebilling. This process can be reviewed in the next section.

Credit/Rebill

A Credit/Rebill action credits the invoice, creates credit memo, and creates new tickets for rebilling. This process should be used when attempting to edit tickets that have been created from orders with a Cash Pay Type since these types of transactions are understood by Fast-Weigh as immediate transactions.

To issue a Credit/Rebill:

  • Navigate to the "Billing History" tab

  • New drop down menu labeled "Batch Type"

    • View invoices, credits, or both

  • Expand the invoice to see the "Actions" button

Click the image to expand.
  • When an invoice is credited, it will attach "-CR" to the end of the batch number.

    • This can be customized

  • Back date the invoice date if needed

  • Hit "Credit/Rebill," select "I understand and wish to proceed," and hit "OK"

When you hit print on the invoice, you can see that the total is now negative

How Does Credit/Rebill Affect the Ticket

  • If you query your ticket number, it will only show the current version of the ticket. (Which can be rebilled again).

  • You can change your view by selecting it in the new "Type" dropdown menu.

After selecting "All" you will see each version of the tickets.

After a ticket has been credited and rebilled, you will notice the "Type" column updated to reflect the action taken on the ticket. This is also reflected in the "Material Amount" column, where the material amount is changed between a negative and positive value.

In order to credit a ticket without rebilling it, all you have to do is void the current version of the ticket be editing the ticket in the ticket query.

  • Click the [Edit] button.

  • Click the "Void" checkbox and fill in each Note field.

  • Click [Save]

Customer


Page Overview

Columns and Filters

The main page allows you to view your customer database. You can filter to view individual Regions if you have multiple, and each column can be filtered and searched as well. Any information contained in the customer listing can be searched, and any matching characters will display in the table, removing any listing that does not contain this information.

Click the image to expand.

Searching can be filtered from the following columns:

  • ID: The shorthand customer identification.

  • Customer Name: The full customer name.

  • Address: The customer address.

  • City/State/Zip: The customer city, state, and postal code.

  • Phone: The customer contact number.

  • Company Code: A customer code assigned when communicating with external accounting software.

  • Terms: The billing terms associated with the customer.

  • Billing Mode: The billing intervals applied to the customer.

  • Tax Code: The default tax code applied to this customer.

  • Credit Status: The status of a customer, and their ability to be selected when creating orders or ticketing.

  • Default Order: The default order associated with the customer. This is selected after orders are created and chosen by order number.

Credit Status

  • Credit Status: This is used to set a default payment type for a customer.

    • Open: New orders default to Charge Hide $ and all active orders set to Charge Hide $ payment type.

    • Cash: New orders default to Cash and all active orders set to Cash payment type

    • Do Not Sell: Adds (DNS) to the customer name, new orders default to Inactive status, and all Active orders are set to Inactive status. This customer will no longer be selected when ticketing.

    • Closed: This customer is no longer available to select for orders or ticketing.

When the Credit Status is switched from Do Not Sell, all Inactive orders are set to the Active status.

The Do Not Sell and Closed credit statuses are not interchangeable. Do Not Sell should be used when the customer (or product) is unavailable, but anticipated to return to usual business. Closed should be used when the customer (or product) is no longer available or is not anticipated to return to usual business. Examples below:

  • Do Not Sell: Bob's Rocks is known as a primary source providing Pea Gravel, and unexpectedly run into low inventory.
