When it comes to weighing transported products, there are three important weight values. The net weight refers to the weight of the product or item being moved. The tare weight is the weight of the container or vehicle itself. The gross weight is the sum of the net and tare weights. To find the net weight of product moving in and out of inventory, it is necessary to perform two weighing activities against a truck. The weight of the full truck carrying product is captured to determine the gross weight, and tare weight is obtained by weighing the truck when it is empty.
The order in which these activities occurs depends on whether the inventory is part of an inbound or outbound movement. Subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight will give you the net weight.
