Post Tendering - Sam4s SPS-500 Series Program Reference Manual

Password
A four-digit password can be set to control access to reports. Different passwords can be set for X and
Z1, Z2 etc. reports.
A system password can be set to allow service access to all of the functions of the SPS-500. For
example, use the system password if you are servicing a users system and you do not know an employee
code that allows you to access necessary functions, or if authority level programming prohibits you
from accessing functions you need to access in order to complete your tasks.
Piece Count
The piece count is the value assigned to a PLU item that represents the number of unit pieces sold when
the PLU is registered. For example, the number of pieces of chicken can be counted when a chicken
dinner is sold. The number of units set as the piece count will be reflected in product mix reporting.
PLU Status Link #
Also referred to as PLU Status Group. The status link # contains the many of the configurable options
for a PLU.
PLUs
Price look-ups (PLUs) are used to register items. PLUs can be fixed keys on the keyboard or they can
be accessed by indexing a code number and pressing the PLU key. PLUs can be programmed with a
preset or open price. PLUs record their own activity count and dollar total on any of the PLU reports.

Post Tendering

The Post Tendering feature allows the operator to use the register to compute change on cash
transactions after the sale has been finalized.
To calculate change due after finalizing the sale, enter the cash amount presented by the customer and
then press CASH. The amount of change due the customer is then displayed, and the cash drawer may
open.
This is a calculation function only, and no totals or counters are updated by the use of this feature.
Price Level
Prices may be assigned at up to five different price levels for each item. One of up to 20 price level keys
is identified for each different PLU price.
Product Mix Groups/Product Mix Reporting
Product Mix Groups can be used to implement a simplified ingredient system for tracking only
essential ingredients associated with items (i.e. cups for beverages or number of pieces for chicken
menus.)
Product mix groups also report usage by time period and optional Product Projections reporting is also
available. The Product Projection report provides a history of each item's sales by day of week.
