Thank you for your work @LoredanaLrpz!

I’m curious about the overall plan for this hardware page. What’s its main purpose? Are there plans to add other types of hardware in the future?
Following up on that: I noticed the intro links to other documentation pages. Do you intend to organize all these under a new Hardware section? Should the IoT system connection page be included in this structure as well? I’d like to discuss how we want to organize this.

I think it'd be nice to add an intro sentence for this

+#. 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.
+#. Return to the :guilabel:`General Information` tab and set a :guilabel:`Sales Price` per
+   :guilabel:`kg`.


I think it makes more sense to 1st set the unit of measure in the Sales price field since we're already in the General information tab, and then go to the Point of Sale tab.

Suggested change

As scales used in commercial transactions are certified, Odoo must adhere to specific European

requirements. If the database does not meet these European regulations, a distinct

:icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`red scale`) icon displays prominently in red.

As only certified scales are permitted for use in commercial transactions within the EU, the database must meet specific European requirements. If these requirements are not fulfilled, a red :icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`red scale`) icon is displayed as a warning.

This is a bit confusing. I thought "Odoo must adhere" was a bit confusing; I first thought you meant Odoo as a company, did you? It sounds to me like the db must actually be set in a specific way to comply with the regulations. I suggested to rephrase to make things clearer (EDIT: see also my comment about EU regulations; we might need to change this a bit)

I also think we could provide examples because this is a bit too vague --> "the database must meet specific European regulatory requirements, such as ...". Or you could add an example in the paragraph below this one if you prefer. I know the image shows an example but we shouldn't use images as a replacement for text so I'd add an example in the text, maybe? or link to the regulations here as well.

to make the second sentence clearer and sound more natural

+Click this red icon opens to modal window that explains the reasons for non-compliance. To

+:guilabel:`Apply changes`. Once the database meets regulatory requirements, the
+:icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`scale`) icon turns green, indicating full compliance.


Suggested change

Click this red icon opens to modal window that explains the reasons for non-compliance. To

automatically implement the necessary changes to the Odoo settings and achieve compliance, click

:guilabel:`Apply changes`. Once the database meets regulatory requirements, the

:icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`scale`) icon turns green, indicating full compliance.

Click the icon to view reasons for non-compliance. To automatically apply the necessary changes to the settings and achieve compliance, click :guilabel:`Apply changes`. Once the database meets all regulatory requirements, the :icon:`fa-balance-scale` (:guilabel:`scale`) icon turns green.

not necessary to mention the "modal window" (and we don't usually use that terminology in the doc)

very last part not necessary either since we already said "once the db meets ..."

+:doc:`The customer display <shop/customer_display>` and POS display must each be at least 6 inches.
+However, we recommend using a larger screen for better end-user readability.

+Usage guideline


I think I'd use a more practical heading here, something like:

Using a scales in PoS

Weighing products at the PoS

Scale usage in PoS

or something similar?

Suggested change

#. Remove the previous product from the scale.

you could add: and place another one to weigh it.

but given the warning below I'd remove the part about other items.

+   In EU member states, `certification is legally required
+   <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv%3AOJ.L_.2014.096.01.0107.01.ENG>`_
+   to use a scale as an integrated device.


Just to clarify: is it the scale hardware itself that must be certified, or does the certification also apply to the software it’s integrated with? or both?
Depending on the answer to this, we might need to adjust my suggestion on line 67-68 in the hardward.rst file.
