What this page is for
This page wires a scale to the till it sits beside, and tells Tulindo what unit its reading is in, so nothing has to guess grams from a plain number. The till then reads the weight from this scale whenever an item sold by weight is rung up.
Only people whose role can manage the business's structure, and who can also see the catalogue, see this page.
Before you start
- The till the scale is wired to must already exist — see New till.
- The unit the scale reads in must already exist, such as Kilogram — see Units under Catalogue.
Fields
Till
Which till this scale is wired to.
Example: Counter till
Name

Frame family

Example: Toledo
