Weights

One or more weights can be entered for each pack type. Each combination of Net Kgs and Gross Kgs can optionally be filtered for specific varieties. These weights are applied to SETUP -> Products (materials) imported into snapSales. These are the weights that are used when calculating product weights for loadouts.

  • Priority - defaults to 10. Set at a lower value to check this record before others (when there could be multiple records).
  • Net Kgs - weight of produce only.
  • Gross Kgs - total weight (of produce and packaging).
  • Applies to - enter when the weights are different for produce types, grades, fruit sizes and/or variety.
