To transfer a container to a different facility, scan the container to select it in Container Filling 2 and click the “Transfer” button. Container Filling 2 will prompt for confirmation; click “Yes”. The container status is now marked as “In transit.”

With the container “In transit,” clicking “OK” will allow the operator to return to the “Scan or Enter Number” screen. When the container arrives at the facility and is ready to be checked in, the operator can scan the barcode and click the “Check In” button.

When checking in a container an operator should review the container and scale for a new empty weight, if required. Check that the facility is correct and click “OK” to check the container in.

The transfer workflow works well for containers requiring cleanout. Containers “in transit” are not available to be used or filled, and the check-in process allows the operator to verify empty weight.
