Scale barcodes, loyalty points and rounding
Sell from a weighing scale's labels, reward regular customers with points, and round bills to the nearest 50 cents or rupee.
Weighing-scale labels
A shop with a weighing scale that prints barcode labels (vegetables, meat, dry goods) can sell straight from the label. Under Settings → Shop & VAT, in Weighing-scale labels, copy the layout from the scale's own settings:
- Scale label prefix — the digits every label starts with, often 2 or 21. Leave it empty if the shop has no such scale.
- What the label's number is — Weight or Price.
- Item code digits, Weight or price digits, and Digits after the decimal point (3 reads grams as kilograms; for a price in whole rupees, 0).
Press Save. The screen spells out what a label's digits mean with these settings. Each weighed product needs the scale's item code as its code in UDS POS. At the till, scanning the label puts the item on the bill with its weight or price.
Loyalty points
Also under Settings → Shop & VAT:
- Loyalty points per Rs 100 — how many points a customer earns for every Rs 100. Zero switches loyalty off.
- A point is worth (Rs) — what one point pays at the till. Zero lets points be collected but not spent.
- Fewest points spent at once — zero for no minimum.
Points are earned when the customer is on the bill. To spend them, choose the customer, press Pay, and choose Points.
Rounding bills
Round bills to — No rounding, Rs 0.50 or Rs 1.00 — rounds every bill to the nearest step. With Rs 1.00, a bill of Rs 1,438.37 becomes Rs 1,438.00; with Rs 0.50, it becomes Rs 1,438.50. The bill shows the rounding on its own line, and the total is the same however the customer pays.
