Units and weight

Every size is kept in whole millimetres and every weight in grams. The cm / in and kg / lb switches only change how numbers are shown and how the numbers you type are read — switching from cm to in turns 60 into 23.6, it never keeps 60 with a new meaning.

When you paste a list

The confirm card shows what we read before anything is planned: which column is Qty, the size unit, whether the weight is per box or for the whole line, gross or net, and the decimal mark. A chip with a dashed frame is a guess we are not sure of. Change any chip and the list is read again from the same cells.

• Largest box: the card prints the biggest box in metres. “12.0 × 8.0 × 9.0 m” means the sizes were in mm, not cm — press “Read sizes as mm”.
• Your list's own totals: if the sheet says 17.28 CBM and we read 17,280, the size unit is wrong. The card says so on top.
• Per box or total: a line of 29 boxes at 8,241 kg each is heavier than steel for its size. The card asks “is the weight for the whole line?” (warning above 1,500 kg per m³).
• Gross or net: loading needs gross weight. If only net weight is in the list, the plan uses it and the card says so.
• Decimal mark: “1,200” can mean 1.2 or 1200. The card shows which one we used.
• Qty missing: a line without Qty is red and is never planned as 1. Enter the Qty on the card or in the list.

Weight in the plan

Each line shows “per box” and the line total side by side. A line with no weight is planned, but the payload is then “not checked” — never shown as passed. Weights typed in pounds are converted box by box; the payload check allows the rounding of 1 gram per box, never more.
