Glossary of Terms

Activity Count

The activity counter keeps track of the number of times an entry is made on a PLU, or function key.

Audaction

Refers to the total of all negative sale transactions.

Clerks/Cashiers

Although￿often used interchangeably, the terms 'clerk' and 'cashier' have separate meanings.

Sales clerks are individuals who are responsible for selling the merchandise to the customer. A clerk may or may not actually operate the cash register (a cashier might ring sales for many different clerks). Typically, management wants to know merchandise sales levels for each clerk, in order to monitor productivity and/or pay

￿commissions.

Cashiers actually operate the cash register, and are usually held responsible for cash, checks, and other media in the cash drawer. When new cashier begins operations, the drawer is usually counted so that responsibility can be shifted to another cashier. Or, when two cashiers are operating the same cash register at the same time, an optional second cash drawer can be installed so that each cashier can be held individually accountable.

In many establishments, clerks and cashiers perform similar functions. Cashiers can be clerks; clerks are often cashiers.

Compulsory

When an operation is programmed compulsory, a function (i.e. Non-add number entry) must be performed in order to complete the operation.

Consecutive Number

A count appears at the bottom of each receipt and after each transaction on the journal tape. This count increases by one with each transaction, report, or scan.
