The Catchweight functionality within Clever Trade Plus (available from Version 2.0.0) allows you to capture exact weights for Invoicing purposes for products which are handled in a alternative measure (e.g. a Case) to which they are Invoiced - the latter being the Catchweight (e.g. KG).
Before being able to use the Catchweight functionality you must perform some setup in the "Catchweight Setup" screen.
Within the "Catchweight Setup" screen the following information can be setup.
| Enabled | To use Catchweight functionality you must activate the Enabled field |
| Default Weight Unit of Measure | This attribute allows you to select the default "Unit of Measure" to be used for the Catchweight of any applicable Items. It is still possible to change this for each Item if required |
| Default % Tolerance |
This should be populated with a numerical value and will apply to all catchweight items where populated, but can be left blank if you wish to define the tolerance for each Catchweight Item independently. The value here should be the limit (both under and over) that you allow in terms of varying weight and will apply to the Catchweight Unit of Measure. As an example, if my Catchweight Unit of Measure is KG and my tolerance is set to 10%, where my expected Catchweight is 20KG on a Sales/Purchase document, Business Central will accept any weight entered for that Item from 18KG to 22KG, effectively allowing a 10% deviation |
| Tolerance Action |
This is the action you want Business Central to take when a Catchweight is entered that exceeds the acceptable Default % Tolerance level. The following options are available.
If entering a value outside of the expected range and this field is set to Warning then the following type of warning will be shown.
If this is set to Error then alternatively you will something like the following screen appear and the value will not be saved.

You can still populate this manually per Item should you need to.
