Each public weigh transaction uses a system product to set the price to be charged. These products are deployed with the system and their description and code can not be changed.

There are 3 products:

• PublicGMO - Gross Mass Only
• PublicGTN - Gross Tare Net
• PublicTMO - Tare Mass Only

To charge a price for these transactions use the Sell Prices section to set a price per tonne. The standard product price category/season model is available for public weigh tickets, contracts can not be used to set Public Weigh prices.

Tip: If you want set a flat rate then set the Unitary flag at the end of the price band.

Each type of public weigh ticket has its own ticket template. These templates are required and if they do not exist in the Ticket Templates folder they can be found in the Sample Ticket Templates folder. The template format should not generally be changed as they are formatted to meet official requirements for these type of tickets.

In order to use the Public Weigh feature the instance of Mandalay CS needs to be registered with the Public Weigh option. If you have done the configuration above and you do not see this button in ticketing then your instance of Mandalay CS is not registered to use Public Weigh and will need to be re-registered with a CD key that has the Public Weigh feature included.

Contact Mandalay support if you require a reissue of the CD key. Make sure to mention that you need a re-issue of a key with the Public Weigh feature so they can advise you on how to perform a re-registration.
