Inventory and Order Management: Capturing Weights of Packages from DeviceHub

In previous versions of MYOB Acumatica, the use of a scale connected to DeviceHub for weighing packages was limited to the scenario of packing shipments on the Pick, Pack, and Ship (SO302020) form. The users who added packages to shipments on the Shipments (SO302000) form could only type the weight of a package manually.

Starting in MYOB Acumatica 2025.1, users can capture the weighing result from DeviceHub on the Packages tab and in the Shop for Rates dialog box on the Shipments form.

Capture of the Weight of a Package on the Packages Tab

A user may need to specify the weight of a package on the Packages tab of the Shipments (SO302000) form while preparing a shipment for sending it to an external carrier service. To perform this operation, the user selects the package and clicks the new Capture Weight button on the table toolbar of the upper table on this tab (Item 1 in the following screenshot). If a default scale is specified for the user account, the system automatically inserts this scale's value from the Last Weight column on the Scales (SM206530) form into the Weight column on the Packages tab of the Shipments form (Item 2).

Capture of the Weight of a Package in the Shop for Rates Dialog Box

A user may want to specify the weight of a package directly in the Shop for Rates dialog box on the Shipments (SO302000) form before they get the carrier rates. To perform this operation, the user adds the packages to the Packages table in the dialog box, selects a package, and clicks the Capture Weight button on the table toolbar (Item 1 in the following screenshot). If a default scale is specified for the user account, the system automatically inserts this scale's value from the Last Weight column on the Scales (SM206530) form into the Weight column on the Packages tab of the Shipments form (Item 2).

Specification of the Default Scale for a User Account

A user can specify the default digital scale device to be used for their own user account on the User Profile (SM203010) form. In the Personal Settings section of the General Info tab, they specify a configured device in the Default Scale box.

Other Changes

The use of a scale connected to DeviceHub prior to MYOB Acumatica 2025.1 required the DeviceHub and Warehouse Management features to be enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS1000000) form. Now it requires only the DeviceHub feature to be enabled.
