Chapter 5: Setting Up Your Cash Register - Advanced

Programming Department Keys

Departments are a category of merchandise. For example, Department 1 can be Housewares, Department 2 can be Food, Department 3 can be Womens Clothing, and so on. This helps you track what you are selling.

Each department can be programmed as taxable or non-taxable, so that if an item needs to be taxed, it is added automatically when you ring up an item in a taxable department.

You can have as many as 99 departments on your cash register. If you have many departments, you may want to make a list so other people who use the cash register can properly use the department keys.

Programming departments includes up to 6 steps. Not all steps listed below may apply to your specific needs, but you must specify a value for each, even if you do not plan to use that feature.
