Create Ticket

The Buy screen is divided into four areas.

On the right side of the screen you see the ticket, customer name and the ticket preview. Below the customer name, the ticket preview is shown with each commodity displayed on a separate line, along with details about the weights and price. If you need to make changes to the line items, just select the line to edit it.
The buttons below the ticket preview let you handle tickets in progress. For example, you will hold the ticket while a truck is unloading and complete the process when the truck returns empty, close the ticket when you have added all the commodities but are not paying the customer at the scale, pay the ticket if you are paying the customer at the scale or void the ticket.
The left side of the screen displays the commodity buttons area, the commodity search in the upper left hand corner, and the Ticket Number. Clicking the blue Ticket Number tile will open the Ticket Info screen.The commodity buttons area is where you select the commodities you are purchasing from the customer. There may be many pages of commodities, but touching the Home button always returns you to the home page menu of buttons.
The row of buttons below the commodities buttons are used to add the gross and tare weights, adjust pricing, take deductions, edit quantities and edit ticket details.

Note: If enabled, you can change the currency from US dollars to Canadian dollars and back by selecting from the drop down. Currency exchange is maintained the System Config > Maintain Currency menu item.

Note: Next to the customer's name in the Ticket Preview area there is a pencil. When touched, this pencil opens the customer master file for this customer, where you may make any changes you need to.

Note that other customers may not be edited when the pencil is touched. Only the current customer details may be viewed and edited.

Important Note: Scrap Dragon may be set up to be sure you remain in compliance. For example, you may want every delivery vehicle to be set up in the customer's master file. A green, yellow or red light will display next to the ticket number. Scrap Dragon consultants are available to help. Next to the commodities there may also be compliance lights. A green light indicates the commodity was set up correctly. See Compliance Light.

Important Note: The freight charges may be added to this ticket and the freight ticket created when this ticket is closed. Touch the truck to add the freight weights. You may pick a freight commodity to use and choose the sum of the net or gross weights to add as the gross weight for the commodity.
