- 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.
