Using Scales

POS Awesome has an inbuilt Scale feature that will come in useful for supermarkets and other retailers that sell items that are weighted.

In these scenario the Scale system used by the retailer will print out the barcode for the purchased item. This barcode will contain the weighted quantity.

POS Awesome is able to read the code, parse the item quantity from the item and automatically calculate the amount.

The cashier does not need to key in the quantity, she only needs to scan the product and the item name, quantity purchased and the line amount is automatically brought up.

To use scales with POS Awesome, the scale items will need to have a dedicated starting number in the barcode digits

In the POS Profile you will need to tell POS Awesome the dedicated starting digits for scale items/products

The ideal number of digits should be 3, maximum should be 4
