Weighted Products and Decimal Sales

Grocery mode supports products that are sold by weight instead of only by piece.

What weighted support means

A weighted product can:

• use decimal quantity
• sell in values like 0.250, 0.500, or 1.250
• use a weighted barcode
• calculate value through price_per_unit

Example:

• apples = 500 per kg
• qty = 1.25 kg
• total = 625

Product setup

Weighted grocery items usually need:

• name
• unit
• selling price or price per weight unit
• is_weighted
• barcode type
• manage stock

Packaged grocery goods can still use optional batch and expiry details when shelf-life tracking is important.

Billing behavior

The Billing Page should support:

• search and scan
• decimal quantity entry
• weighted barcode reading
• line total calculation based on quantity and unit price

Weighted label tools should appear only where the business mode supports them. Restaurant-only fields should stay hidden.

Good operating practice

Use dashboard and stock pages for expiring and expired goods instead of crowding the billing page with large warning panels.

Focused warnings during billing are useful, but the main grocery checkout experience should still stay fast.
