Variable Weights

This tab contains details that apply to use variable weight function. It will only be visible if the AP and/or AR modules are in use.

Options Reference

Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.

Use variable weights

Select this option to use variable weight function with items that are stocked in a particular (generic) unit, but may have a variable weight for them. Using variable weights will allow you to record an item's weight when it is purchased, and when it is sold, so that a selling price can be calculated.

Dimension descriptor

The default value is Weight in read-only format. Greentree only uses weight as a variable dimension.

Use in purchasing

This option is enabled if the Accounts Payable module is in use.

Select the option to use variable weight function in relation to AP transactions, including PO Entry, PO Receipt Entry, and AP Invoice Entry.

Replace line narration in AP with actual weights
