+
+Prerequisite
+------------
+
+Connecting a scale requires the use of an **IoT System**.

+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Scale connection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. :ref:`Access the POS settings <configuration/settings>`.
+#. Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Connected Devices` section and enable :guilabel:`IoT Box`.
+#. Select the scale in the :guilabel:`Electronic Scale` field.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Save`.
+
+.. tip::
+   Alternatively, click the :icon:`fa-ellipsis-v` (:guilabel:`Dropdown menu`) icon on a POS card and
+   click :guilabel:`Edit` to access this setting.
+
+Product configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to weigh products using an integrated scale, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale -->
+Products --> Products`, create a product or open an existing product form, and configure it as
+follows:
+
+#. Ensure the :guilabel:`Point of Sale` checkbox is activated for the product to be available in
+   POS.
+#. On the :guilabel:`General Information` tab, define a :guilabel:`Sales Price` per :guilabel:`kg`.
+
+   .. note::
+      This step requires to enable the :doc:`Units of Measure
+      <../../inventory_and_mrp/inventory/product_management/configure/uom>` feature. To activate it:
+
+      #. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`.
+      #. Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Products` section and activate :guilabel:`Units of Measure`.
+#. Go to the :guilabel:`Point of Sale` tab and activate :guilabel:`To Weigh With Scale`. This
+   enables the product to be weighed directly on the connected scale at the POS.
+
+.. important::
+   The selected unit of measure for weighable products must be :guilabel:`kg` to ensure compliance
+   with **European regulations**.
+
+.. seealso::
+   :doc:`../../inventory_and_mrp/inventory/product_management/configure/uom`
+
+European regulations
+--------------------
+
+When using scales in commercial transactions, the database integrated with a scale must be
+configured to meet specific European requirements. This includes supporting at least three decimal
+places for accuracy and using proper rounding for units of measure, such as `kg` instead of generic
+`units`.
+
+If the database is not compliant, a red :icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`scale`) icon displays
+as a warning. Click this icon to view the reasons for non-compliance and then select
+:guilabel:`Apply changes` to automatically apply the necessary changes to the settings. Once the
+database meets all regulatory requirements, the :icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`scale`) icon
+turns green.
+
+.. image:: pos_hardware/legal-requirements.png
+   :scale: 75 %
+
+.. admonition:: Additional guidelines
+
+   Both the :doc:`customer <shop/customer_display>` and POS displays must have a minimum diagonal
+   size of 6 inches. For optimal readability, larger screens are recommended.
+
+Using a scale in PoS
+--------------------
+
+#. :ref:`Open a POS session <pos/session-start>`.
+#. Select the product to weigh on the order screen or scan its barcode.
+#. Place the product on the scale and wait for the weight to be displayed in the popup window.
+#. Once the weight is determined, the price is automatically computed.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Order` :icon:`fa-angle-double-right` to add the product to the cart.
+#. Remove the previous product from the scale.
+
+.. image:: pos_hardware/weigh.png
+   :alt: weighing window
+   :scale: 85 %
+
+.. important::
+   Make sure the scale returns to `zero` before weighing a new product. If it does not, the
+   :guilabel:`Order` :icon:`fa-angle-double-right` button remains unclickable until it is reset.
