Exception Flagging Using WILDCARDS
Used to flag on groups of transactions or departments.
This type of exception also uses the caret (^) character
and is usually used with the COLUMN SPECIFIC type
of exception. Again, it is suggested that you use the
EXCEPTION COLUMN LINE.
EXAMPLE: Flag any transaction in your jew-
elry department where the department number
is 5200-5299. Also, the register prints it out as
“ 5250 $40.00 “
1. Follow steps 1-5 in the previous example.
2. Key in the following:
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
=>^^^^^52^^
3. Follow steps 7-9 in the previous example.
NOTE: When the ^ key is used as the first
character of exception text, it causes that line
to be Column Specific. Also, when the ^ is pre-
ceded by any other character it will then be read
as a Wildcard character.
Exception Marking Using the
DESCRIPTOR
The back-slash symbol (\) is used to describe a certain
transaction you are flagging. It is printed on the line
after the exception in the video or printer flag display.
EXAMPLE: Describe the department 5200-
5299 in the above example with a descriptor of
JEWELRY DEPARTMENT.

previous example.
