Weight Adjustments in CATS

Depending on your company's methods for accounting for weight loss, you can use one of the methods for handling weight loss (or gain), all detailed in this document.

Leave In Inventory/Open

One option is to post the units and weight on a weight adjustment invoice back to the contract, leaving the units and weight that were “lost” in inventory (or open). To do this, use the following steps:

  1. Update and Modify the original invoice.
  2. Choose Weight Adjustment as the type of the updated invoice.
  3. Use the Weight Adjustment invoice item feature to determine how much weight and money is due.
  4. Post the weight adjustment invoice.
  5. Either subdivide the location screen that was lost, if units were lost, or leave the contract as-is.
