Check your understanding
Find gross and tare
Match the date, vehicle and units on the two tickets for one delivery. Subtract the empty vehicle weight from the loaded weight. Keep both readings alongside the amount on the delivery note.
Try it yourself
Use four fields: gross, tare, net by subtraction and stated delivery weight. If the weights differ, flag the difference and check the records.
From the farm
Worked example
A truck weighs 7,420 kg loaded and 5,010 kg after unloading. Net feed is 2,410 kg. The note lists 2,500 kg: a 90 kg discrepancy. These figures alone do not explain the difference.
