Generating barcodes for weighted goods in Torgsoft

If You sell weighted goods and want the checkout process to be fast, accurate, and free from manual weight entry, this video will be useful for You. The video shows how a barcode for weighted goods is generated in the Torgsoft software, what parts it consists of, and how the system reads not only the product code from the label, but also its weight.

 The video provides a detailed explanation of the EAN-13 barcode structure: the prefix of the weighted product, the PLU identifier, and the block where the weight is encoded. It also explains why it is important to correctly configure the quantity coefficient for proper sales processing so that the software accurately converts kilograms into grams and correctly inserts the data into the receipt.

A practical example shows how to: 

• add weighted goods to scales with label printing, 

• configure product parameters, 

• change the product code, 

• upload the product list to a file for the scales,

• check the result during sale. 

After proper configuration, a single label scan is enough for the product to be automatically added to the receipt with the weight already determined.

This solution will be useful for stores, vegetable shops, delicatessens, culinary shops, meat departments, and other entrepreneurs who sell pre-packed weighted goods. Automating this process helps speed up customer service, reduce the cashier’s workload, and avoid sales errors.
