Programming Departments

A total of 99 departments are available. Programming a
department means defining a department status and an
associated price.
The department status consists of a 9-digit code that charac-
terizes the department as follows:
• positive or negative sales
• single or multiple item sales
• High Digit Lock Out (HDLO) status, whereby you prohibit
item entries for a certain number of digits and above.
• previously programmed tax status
• use of an alternative tax status (for example, take-out tax)
with respect to the one programmed, according to the item
sold.
• link to one of up to 10 merchandise categories.
You can then assign a preset price to the department.
The 9-digit department status can be programmed using the
