Trans (Transaction)

A Trans is the header document for a physical stock movement event — a goods receipt at intake, a goods issue on dispatch, or another warehouse operation that changes the inventory position. It acts as the organizational container under which all individual weighed or measured positions (TransPos) are grouped. A single transaction might represent a full truck delivery containing multiple positions with different articles, quality grades, or lot identifiers — all belonging to the same physical event at the weighbridge.

The transaction header captures the administrative context of the movement: the partner who delivered or received the goods, the date and start time of the operation, the associated contract (if this movement fulfills a contractual obligation), the transaction type (Action), and the current workflow status. Whether the transaction has been signed off and whether all positions have been verified are also tracked at the header level. This combination of contextual header data and detailed position records makes the Trans the primary audit document for all physical goods flows through the facility.
