Prepare catalog products for a counter scale. Taliup HQ stores the **SKU**, **price per unit**, and **Weighable** flag. Taliup POS reads the printed sticker (or a typed weight) at Register. Cashiers scan and type weight on the terminal. See [Scale barcodes](/taliup-pos/register/scale-barcodes). You do not pair the scale to Taliup HQ. Program the same 5-digit PLU on the scale and in the product **SKU**. *** ## Prerequisites * The **Catalog** feature is on the entity plan. Ask your ISO admin to enable it in [Plans & Features](/taliup-hq/onboarding/plans-features) if you do not see **Catalogs** in the sidebar. * The product is on the catalog the terminal uses. A product that exists but is not on that catalog returns **Product not found** on scan. *** ## Two kinds of scale labels | Label | What the scale prints | Product setup in HQ | | ---------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Price** | Product + a dollar amount | Set **SKU**. Leave **Weighable** off. Catalog **Price** is a fallback — the sticker price wins at scan. | | **Weight** | Product + a measured weight | Set **SKU**, turn **Weighable** on, pick **kg**, **g**, **lb**, or **oz**, and set catalog **Price** as the rate per unit. | Weight labels and **Enter weight** on POS both need a catalog price per unit. **Custom price** and **Weighable** cannot be on together. *** ## Where to set Weighable | Place | What you can set | | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Catalogs** or a category → add product | **SKU**, **Weighable**, and **Unit** | | **Products** → edit → **Sold by** | **Weighable** and **Unit**. Quantity on hand is read-only here. | | **Inventory** → open a product | **Weighable**, **Unit**, and stock | | **Products** bulk-upload Excel | **Weighable** and **Unit** columns (after **Product SKU**) | | **Inventory → Units** | Unit library only. Do not send merchants to Settings. | The **Sold by** card title is **Sold by**. The toggle label is **Weighable**. Help text: *Sold by weight; price comes from a scale-embedded barcode.* *** ## Set up a price label Open **Products**, create or edit the item, and set **SKU** to the exact 5-digit PLU on the scale. No extra characters. Do not turn on **Weighable**. Set any catalog **Price** you want — Register uses the printed amount when the cashier scans. Add the product to the catalog assigned to the terminal. *** ## Set up a weight label Set **SKU** to the 5-digit PLU the scale prints. Enter **Price** as the rate for one unit (for example `8.00` if the unit is kg). On **Sold by** (product edit), **Inventory**, or catalog/category create, turn **Weighable** on and choose a unit whose abbreviation is **kg**, **g**, **lb**, or **oz**. Add the product to the catalog the terminal uses. If **Custom price** is on, Taliup disables **Weighable**. Turn **Custom price** off first. If the unit picker is empty, open **Inventory → Units**. Taliup creates **Kilogram (`kg`)**, **Gram (`g`)**, **Pound (`lb`)**, and **Ounce (`oz`)** when the entity is created and the first time someone opens catalog, product, or Units. *** ## How the scale and Taliup agree The unit abbreviation tells Register where the decimal goes in the five weight digits on the sticker. | Abbreviation | Decimals | Printed `01234` means | | ------------ | -------- | --------------------- | | **kg** | 3 | `1.234 kg` | | **g** | 0 | `1234 g` | | **lb** | 2 | `12.34 lb` | | **oz** | 1 | `123.4 oz` | Use the same unit the scale is programmed for. Other abbreviations are fine for packaged items. They are rejected when **Weighable** is on. *** ## Bulk upload On **Products**, download a fresh template (or export) before you upload. Older files do not have these columns. On the **Products** sheet, immediately after **Product SKU**: | Column | What to enter | | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Product SKU** | The 5-digit PLU | | **Weighable** | `Yes` / `Y` / `1` for weight items. `No` or blank for price labels | | **Unit** | Name or abbreviation. Required when Weighable is Yes. Accepts `kg`, `g`, `lb`, `oz` and names such as `Kilograms` or `lbs` | * If the unit does not exist, import creates it for this merchant. * Weighable Yes with a non-weight unit stops that row. The unit is not created. * A custom-priced row (blank **Price**) stays custom-priced. Import turns **Weighable** off even if the cell says Yes. * Missing **Weighable** leaves the product not weighable. Sheets without these columns still import. *** ## After the sale | Surface | What you see | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | HQ order details | Weight lines show `0.450 kg`, not `1` | | Orders and Items reports | Same formatted quantity. Two `0.450 kg` soups count as `0.900 kg` | | End of Day and Profit | Quantity sold and cost use the scanned or typed weight | | Inventory | Stock drops by that weight. A refund puts the same weight back | | Low-stock email | On-hand includes the unit (for example `4.500 kg`) | Deleting a unit that a weighable product uses turns **Weighable** off on that product. Reassign a weight unit and turn **Weighable** back on. *** ## Related * [Scale barcodes](/taliup-pos/register/scale-barcodes) — scan and Enter weight on the terminal * [Inventory](/taliup-pos/catalog/inventory) — Weighable and unit on POS * [Plans & Features](/taliup-hq/onboarding/plans-features)
