AV-Scale ticket needed?  Might be needed if dispute comes into play.  

AV- Scale ticket would need to be part of process.  Helps with inventory

Q- are weights same on ship notice as on scale ticket?  Ship notice  may say 25 tons and scale ticket says 23- supplier is contacted to have ship notice resent matching scale ticket.  So answer is no they dont always match.

Today- no scale ticket message in XML.  Per Jeremy it is in SCORE.
