Testimonial

Ability Integrated Scale for QuickBooks Point of Sale

We have been very pleased using the Ability Integrated Scale software along with our Quickbooks Point of Sale system. Ability successfully helped us integrate not only our Hobart scale labels into Quickbooks POS – but also worked with us to integrate our customer barcodes to be integrated with the Quickbooks POS software. Ability also has great customer service and supports their product very well.

We do not offer scales in our suite of products. We suggest you find a local Scale Dealer to work with. The local dealer can also calibrate and certify the scale.

Compatible Label Printing Scales

What label printing scales are compatible?

Label printing scales like the USA Measurements DL9000, CAS LP1000, CAS CL5000, CAS CL5500, CAS CL7200, Hobart, and Mettler Toledo bPro, Mettler Toledo Impact M or Impact S all produce a random weight label that you can place on your item and then scan at the QuickBooks Point of Sale checkout with our Ability Integrated Scale app.

It is not the particular model that is compatible, but certain fields in both your scale and QuickBooks Point of Sale that must be the same.

Below is what a typical random weight label looks like with an EAN13 barcode.

The barcode on the random weight label above is an EAN13 barcode that has 13 digits. The chart below illustrates how the 13 digits (0200205003640) are divided and used in the barcode.


EAN13 Barcode	Number of Digits	Random Weight Label	QuickBooks Point of Sale
2	2	EAN 13 barcodes start with 02
205	5	icode/PLU	POS Item Number
0	1	Check Digit
364	4	Point of Sale Extended Price	Point of Sale Extended Price
0	1	Final Check Sum Digit

Since you already have a label printing scale that produces a random weight label, you can use your scale data to create your items. The following fields in your scale and QuickBooks Point of Sale must be the same.

Note: Do not enter any information in the UPC field for an item that you will be weighing on the label printing scale and printing a random weight label. That field is used when a grocery items like a box of cereal or a can of soup which is imprinted with a barcode. That barcode symbology known as a universal product code, is used to assign to unique trade items.

Simply scan the barcode and our app, will do the rest! Add the item to the ‘Make A Sale’ screen and populate the quantity with the weight based on the extended price and the regular price.
