Weight and Print Production Entries

Weigh products, print labels, and record production, all from one screen.

Important notes

  • The order must be started before you can weigh.

  • The tablet must be identified as an equipment before weighing, this tells it how to operate and which equipments to use.

  • Every print subtracts the container tare from the gross weight.

  • Use Remove Last to undo, or Reprint Last / History to print a label again.


Configure the workstation

Before it can weigh, the tablet has to be identified as an equipment, this tells it how to operate and which equipment to use. It's a one-time setup; redo it only to switch configurations (e.g. to work without an integrated scale).

Option A → Set it up first

  1. On the Operations home, go to Settings and open Workstation Settings.

  1. In the Equipment field, pick your tablet.

  2. Tap Save.

Option B → Set it up while weighing

If the tablet isn't set up, the same screen appears the first time you tap Weighing on an order. Pick your tablet and tap Save, and weighing carries on. You can't weigh until it's set.


Open the order and start weighing

  1. Go to Production Orders.

  2. Use the cards at the top to filter by section, All, Slaughter, Debone, Cut, Transformation, and find your order.

  3. If the order isn't started yet, open its ⋯ menu → Start, select the work centers, enter the number of employees, and tap Start.

  4. Open the ⋯ menu → Weighing to open the weighing screen.


Understand the weighing screen

The header shows the production line, main product, batch, and produced vs. planned quantity.

  1. Pick the tab for what you're recording, Co-Product, Sub-Product, Raw Material, Breakage, Non-Conforming.

  2. Then tap the product card you want to weigh.


Check the container and tares, before you print

The box and pallet are usually pre-filled for the product. Change them only if they're wrong.

  1. Tap Container Settings.

  2. Check or change the box (container) and its tare.

  3. Check or change the pallet (upper-level container) and its tare.

  4. Tap Save.


Weigh and print

The flow depends on the product's weight type, shown in the right panel.

Just above the action button, Labels to Print previews exactly what the next submit will produce, broken down by container.

Variable weight → weigh on the scale

The panel reads Variable Weight Product. There's no configured weight, so the container is always weighed.

With a connected scale:

Place the container on the scale and tap Weigh and Print.

Without a scale:

  1. Tap Weigh and Print, the Insert Scale Weight window opens.

  2. Enter the Gross Weight.

  3. Tap Submit Weight. The system applies the tare and shows the net weight. A success message confirms that the container was weighed and saved.


Fixed weight → apply configured weight

The panel reads Fixed Weight Product and shows the product's configured weight.

In F - Apply configured weight mode (the default), each label inherits that weight, no scale needed, and you can print several at once.

  1. Make sure the mode selector shows F - Apply configured weight.

  2. In the quantity field, enter how many labels to print, up to 100.

  3. Tap Print. Each label carries the configured weight, and the count is recorded. A success message confirms that the containers were saved.


Fixed weight → weigh on the scale (giveaway)

A fixed-weight product can still be weighed on the scale when you need its real weight instead of the configured one, typically to calculate giveaway (the gap between the actual weight and the fixed configured weight).

  1. In the mode selector, pick V - Weigh on the scale. The button changes to Weigh and Print.

  2. Weigh exactly as for a variable-weight product, connected scale automatically, or enter the Gross Weight manually and tap Submit Weight.


If the weight is outside the valid range, the Product Weighing container turns red and the weighing isn't submitted, and you'll need to reweigh with a valid weight before continuing.


Track progress

The Containers panel mirrors what you're building, the item you weigh and the containers it fills. In this example you weigh a unit into a box, and boxes onto a pallet:

  • Item being weighed (here, unit) → how many you've weighed so far.

  • First container (here, box) → how many boxes you've closed, plus a bar showing units in the current box vs. expected.

  • Higher container (here, pallet) — how many pallets you've closed, plus a bar showing boxes in the current pallet vs. expected.

A container closes automatically when it reaches the expected amount, or tap Close to finish it early (allowed once it holds at least one item).

The hierarchy is dynamic. You weigh one level below the order's unit:

  • order in pallets → you weigh boxes

  • order in boxes → you weigh units

  • order in units → you weigh units (nothing smaller)


Fix a mistake

Under Recent Prints:

  • Remove Last → deletes the most recent entry.

  • Reprint Last → prints the last label again.

  • History (list icon) → opens every entry. Use each row's ⋯ menu to Reprint or Delete it, then tap Cancel to close.


Traceability

A production movement is created when the highest-level container in the hierarchy is closed. The system saves the order, product, batch, quantity, weight, container and pallet, SSCC and label info, and print history, giving full traceability from packaging to storage.
