2PLU (Price Look-Up) and Subdepartment Programming

The PLU function allows speedy key entries whereby a price is automatically called up when a code is entered. The subdepartment is a kind of “open PLU”, which requires you to enter a price after the PLU code is entered. A maximum of 1800 PLU/subdepartment settings are possible. Each one belongs to a department and acquires the department’s parameters (dept. type (normal or bottle return), dept. group, tax status, SICS and sign).

A commission group (0 to 2, 0: No commission is applied) can be assigned to each department for commission for clerks. Each commission amount for individual clerk is calculated based on the corresponding programmed commission rate and printed later on clerk reports.

The cash register is preprogrammed so all 1800 codes are assigned as PLUs (commission group: 0) associated with department 1 and preset unit price “0”.
