Scale labels

A weighing scale at the deli or meat counter prints a barcode label for what it weighed. Scan the label at the till and the item is added with the weight on the label, or the weight its price buys.

Steps

  1. Turn it on in Settings → Store → POS terminal → Scale labels → Read scale labels.
  2. Choose what the label's value is, as the scale is set up: the weight in grams, or the price. Most scales print a 5-digit item code; pick 6 digits if yours prints six.
  3. On the scale, give each item the same number as the product's Code in StartERP (leading zeros do not matter), and sell it by the kg.
  4. Scan the label at the till. The line shows the weight; a price label is sold as the weight that price buys at the product's price per kg, so the line comes to the label's price.

Tips

  • A product whose own barcode starts with 2 is still found by that barcode first.
  • Keep the price per kg the same on the scale and in StartERP, so a price label and the till agree.
