Why a product says "no weights yet"

What you see

On the Products page and on the Scale page, each product carries one of two badges:

• weighable – the app can turn a weight into “% left”.
• no weights yet – it cannot, yet.

If you weigh a product without weights, the weigh panel says “No bottle weights on file for this product yet — the reading can’t be turned into a quantity.” The button stays as Use reading and cannot be tapped.

Why

“% left” needs the product registry to know the bottle: its empty weight and its size. Density improves the result further. If the registry has no weights for that product, there is nothing to compare your reading against.

There is a second, less common cause. Bottle weights reach your venue’s product list through a regular sync. A product that has only just gained weights may not show them on your tablet straight away.

What you can do

Count it as a whole number for now

You can always count the product with − and +, or by typing a number. Decimals are fine, so you can enter an estimate such as 0.5 for a half-full bottle.

File the weights yourself

1. Weigh a sealed bottle and tap File as sealed full.
2. Weigh an empty bottle and tap File as empty.

Never file a partially full bottle. That is a stock reading, not a fact about the bottle.

Filed weights wait for review. Once accepted, the product becomes weighable for every venue. Full steps are in File sealed-full and empty weights.

You may only need the sealed bottle

With enough data for a category, the app can estimate an empty weight from a sealed bottle alone. See How “% left” is computed.

If every product says “no weights yet”

Bottle weights come through your NOPI or Swift Inventory account. A tablet that is connected only to SwiftPOS or Circona can count, but cannot weigh. Link the tablet to your account: see Link a tablet by QR from NOPI.

If the products are weighable but the scale stays off, see Why weighing can be off.
