Using Scales with Devicehub without having Warehouse "Automated Warehouse Operations".

@jmckinnon I think DeviceHub is available regardless of your license; that’s all you need to integrate with the scale. The problem is that the standard Shipments screen doesn’t support the scale, but a developer can create a customization that pulls in the current weight from the user’s scale and inputs it in the current row in the Packages tab. Here’s a mockup of what I have in mind:

Do you work with a consultant that is familiar with the Acumatica framework? I don’t have a USB scale to test, but sample code to read the current scale weight can be found in PickPackShip.cs, in the ProcessScaleWeight function (extracted here in case anyone is interested) -- basically it just reads from the SMScale table to get the last received weight, and does some sanity checks in case the weight hasn’t changed in the last 30 seconds:

        protected virtual bool? ProcessScaleWeight(SOPackageDetailEx package)
		{
			Guid? scaleDeviceID = UserSetup.For(Base).ScaleDeviceID;

			Base.Caches<SMScale>().ClearQueryCache();
			SMScale scale = SMScale.PK.Find(Base, scaleDeviceID);

			if (scale == null)
			{
				ReportError(Msg.ScaleMissing, "");
				return false;
			}

			DateTime dbNow = GetServerTime();

			if (scale.LastModifiedDateTime.Value.AddHours(1) < dbNow)
			{
				ReportError(Msg.ScaleDisconnected, scale.ScaleID);
				return false;
			}
			else if (scale.LastWeight.GetValueOrDefault() == 0)
			{
				if (HeaderView.Current.LastWeighingTime == scale.LastModifiedDateTime.Value)
				{
					SkipBoxWeightInput();
					return true;
				}
				else
				{
					ReportWarning(Msg.ScaleNoBox, scale.ScaleID);
					Prompt(Msg.ScaleSkipPrompt);
					HeaderSetter.Set(h => h.LastWeighingTime, scale.LastModifiedDateTime.Value);
					return null;
				}
			}
			else if (scale.LastModifiedDateTime.Value.AddSeconds(ScaleWeightValiditySeconds) < dbNow)
			{
				ReportError(Msg.ScaleTimeout, scale.ScaleID, ScaleWeightValiditySeconds);
				return null;
			}
			else
			{
				decimal weight = ConvertKilogramToWeightUnit(scale.LastWeight.GetValueOrDefault(), CommonSetupUOM.Current.WeightUOM);
				SetPackageWeight(weight);
				return true;
			}
		}
