The traffic mark edit box shows an individual mark entry that was created on the location screen. Depending on your settings, a new, blank mark may be added when you create a location screen. One mark can correspond to one lot or one container, or any other piece of a shipment that you wish to represent.
When new information is available about a mark you can change the field values from this dialogue.The information on the traffic mark will be applied to marks pulled into an invoice or traffic document.
Access the marks from the location screen by double-clicking on the mark in the list, or by choosing Mrk from the menu and picking a mark from the list, then choosing Edit.
You can change the information for each mark on the edit screen. Changing the units will cause CATS to prompt you to automatically update the weight (and vice-versa).
CATS will adjust the units or weight according to the bag weight on the screen.
Marks (traffic, document, and invoice marks) can also be modified using a scan interface. This can make data entry more efficient. To access the scan choose Scan from the marks menu.
The scan will pop up and you can change the values for multiple marks at once.
CATS allows per-company customization of the columns displayed for the marks. Additionally, different columns can be specified depending on the traffic position (AF/WH), for each individual traffic document type, and for purchase and sale invoices. To set these options, from the main menu select Maintenance > Settings > Displayed Columns.
Choose which set of columns to change - called MK
in this chooser - then pick Continue.
CATS will show you a select columns dialogue similar to that you use when printing reports.
Put a number next to a column to have it selected. Otherwise, leave it as 0
to not show that marks column. Select Exit when you are done.
The invoice marks dialog is similar to the traffic marks dialog. However, the sampling result information is not available on the invoice marks.
Invoice marks are stored independently of traffic marks, meaning they can be added/edited/deleted without having any effect on the traffic material.
