How to activate the Advanced Receive Fruit option:
- Turn on the feature by selecting "Enable advanced receive fruit system."
If you use metric (tonnes or kilograms) as your weight unit, you will not see this option in your Harvest settings. Please contact us directly at support@innovint.us to activate the feature!
- Next, review the starting weigh tag number. Weigh tags will begin at this number and increase consecutively for each Receive Fruit action. Each weigh tag sequence will be specific to the selected weighing location. The first weigh tag number must be greater than all previous weigh tag numbers generated by InnoVint.
If you are just getting started with weigh tags, please reach out to support@innovint.us to set your first number. - If you have already created Receive Fruit work orders before activating Advanced Receive Fruit, you will see an error. Please delete any open work orders created prior to activation, as you will not be able to create a weigh tag from Receive Fruit tasks created and submitted prior to activation.
- You will now see a new tab in your Settings, underneath Harvest: Weigh tag settings
Additional Weigh Tag Settings
In the Weigh tag settings tab you will be able to access and edit the following information:
