If your PC is not connected to a digital weight indicator and you perform a operation which requires a weight value, Dispatch will prompt you to enter the weight manually using the keyboard. This is known as a Manual weight.
You can also intentionally override the current scale weight with a Manual weight by invoking the context menu (right clicking) and selecting Enter Manual Weight or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+M.

Type a value at the Weight prompt. When you enter the weight, you can indicate if you want to record that the weight was entered manually using the Manual checkbox. Click OK to accept to accept the weight or Cancel to ignore it.
If you click OK, the weight display will be updated to show the Weight value.
Choosing not to display the Manual weight

Clearing a Manual Weight
To clear the current Manual Weight, right click and select Clear Manual Weight or press Ctrl+Alt+C. Note: a Manual weight is cleared automatically after any weighing operation.
Printed indication of a Manual weight
If you do not want an indication that a weight has been entered manually make sure that the Manual checkbox in the Enter Manual Weight dialog is not checked.
