Using PLUs

Many of the goods and items you sell will have a unique PLU (Product Look Up) number
associated with them. The most frequently used PLUs may have their own commodity
key.
A commodity key is a programmable key which has been assigned to a specific PLU.
They are generally reserved for the most frequently used PLUs.
A department key is a programmable key allowing you to select PLUs assigned to
departments other than the one allocated to your machine.
The PLU search key is a programmable key allowing you to enter the first few characters
of the PLU description or the PLU number. A list is displayed on the right hand side of the
screen.

selected department that most closely match the entry.
