Weight Reconciliation
Logistics and procurement procedures subtract the weight of transport vehicles and packing materials from the gross weight of delivered raw materials. The weighbridge tare deduction determines the net weight of flax bales delivered to the mill’s receiving dock. This calculation is recorded on the weighbridge ticket to initiate the material intake workflow.
Measurement Protocol
Incoming trucks carrying raw flax bales are weighed twice to ensure measurement accuracy. To execute the weighbridge tare deduction, the truck is weighed on arrival while fully loaded, and weighed again on departure after unloading the cargo. The difference between these two measurements represents the gross weight of the flax and its packing materials.
This process removes the vehicle’s weight from the invoice calculation.
Receipt Verification
Discrepancies between the declared weight and the actual net weight of the fiber can lead to billing disputes. After applying the weighbridge tare deduction, the net weight of the flax is compared against the supplier’s packing list. The receiving officer logs any variation on the delivery certificate to reconcile the inventory.
This verified weight is entered into the database to calculate the final payment amount for the raw material consignment. By ensuring that only the actual fiber weight is billed, the mill maintains tight control over its raw material expenditure.
