8.1. PLU INQUIRIES

8.INQUIRIES

This chapter describes various inquiries made from each terminal to the Master Terminal and affect data (sales data updating).

8.1.PLU INQUIRIES

When the feature “PLUs to be inquired” is selected and a PLU is entered in a sale (entered manually or through a barcode) on each terminal, the terminal inquires the PLU to the Master Terminal. The inquired Master Terminal searches the PLU code in the PLU Main Table and the PLU Additional Table.

When the PLU exists, the Master Terminal responds the price, name, and other required data to the inquiring terminal.

When the applicable PLU code does not exist in the Master Terminal, the message “CODE ERROR” (standard program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring terminal.

PLU URGENT MAINTENANCE

When the inquired PLU code does not exist in the Master Terminal, the PLU can be programmed into the Master Terminal (and the Backup Master Terminal) along with its sale entry on the terminal by entering the linked Department and the price. The PLU thus entered is temporarily programmed in the PLU Additional Table.

AFFECT

When a PLU entry is determined on a terminal, the terminal sends an AFFECT text to the Master terminal (and Backup Master Terminal), and updates the sales data of the Master Terminal (and Backup Master Terminal).

8.2.CUSTOMER FILE (CHECK TRACK) INQUIRIES

When the feature “Customer File (Check Track)” (instead of PB Manual Entry) is selected and a PICK UP BALANCE (by [PICK UP BAL]) is entered on a terminal, the terminal inquires the entered Customer File Code to the Master Terminal. The inquired Master Terminal searches the Customer File Code in the Customer File Table.

When the Customer File Code exists, the Master Terminal responds the name and the previous balance of the Customer File to the inquiring terminal.

NEW CUSTOMER FILE INQUIRIES

When a NEW CUSTOMER FILE (by [CODE OPEN] key) is entered on a terminal, the terminal inquires the new Customer File code entered to the Master Terminal. The Master Terminal confirms that the inquired Customer File code does not exist, then adds it to the Customer File table, and responds to the inquiring terminal that the code has been additionally set. (If a Backup Master is connected, the code inquiry to and additional setting in the Backup Master Terminal occur at the same time.)

AFFECT

When a Customer File entry is determined on a terminal, the terminal sends an AFFECT text to the Master Terminal (and Backup Master Terminal), and updates the sales data of the Master Terminal (and Backup Master Terminal).

NOTE: When the applicable file code does not exist on a Customer File Code inquiry (by [PICK UP BAL]) or when the applicable file code exists on a New Customer File Code inquiry (by [CODE OPEN]), the message “CODE ERROR” (standard program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring terminal.
