The Tare operation is used to update the Tare weight stored with a unique Truck ID. A Tare weight represents a value that should be excluded from a Gross weight in order to determine a Net weight.
When you Tare a Truck, that Tare weight value is recorded in the Truck table as long a Truck ID has been specified. Truck ID can represent an existing Truck or new Truck. If Truck ID identifies an existing Truck, its Tare weight will set to the current scale weight. If Truck ID represents a new Truck, a new Truck record will be created and it's Tare set to the current scale weight.
A Tare weight can be recorded automatically or manually.
