Last updated: 16 February 2025 · 2 min read

The Label Weighing Scale feature allows businesses to automatically read product weight from barcode labels, ensuring accurate sales transactions in grocery stores, butcher shops, and other weight-based businesses.

Enabling Weighing Scale Integration

  • Go to → Settings → Business Settings → POS
  • Check Enable Weighing Scale
  • Enter the required settings:
    • Prefix (e.g., 25)
    • Product SKU Length (e.g., 4)
    • Quantity Integer Part Length (e.g., 2)
    • Quantity Fractional Part Length (e.g., 2)
  • Click Save

Using the Weighing Scale in POS

Step 1: Go to the POS screen

Step 2: Click on the Weighing Scale button next to the Product SKU search field

Step 3: Scan or enter the barcode generated by the weighing scale

Step 4: If the barcode matches the settings, the product is added with the correct weight

The system automatically calculates the total price based on weight & unit price.

Example of a Weighing Scale Barcode

If your weighing scale generates the barcode 2512343550, and your settings are:

  • Prefix: 25
  • Product SKU Length: 4
  • Quantity Integer Part Length: 2
  • Quantity Fractional Part Length: 2

Barcode breakdown: 25 (Prefix) + 1234 (Product SKU) + 35.50 (Weight in kg)

BillBook will automatically add SKU 1234 with a quantity of 35.50.
