Single Item - Sam4s ER-900 Series Operation And Program Manual

Single Item

The transaction is finalised automatically when a single item PLU is registered as the first
item in a sale. Single item status is used to speed transaction entry when an item is normally
sold in a one-item sale, for example, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or an admission ticket.
Split Pricing
Often merchants price items in multiples, for example 3 for $1. The register will compute the
price of items when the exact quantity is not purchased. If the customer chooses to buy 2
items at 3 for $1, enter 2, press the X/TIME key, enter 3, press the X/TIME key and then
enter the price and the PLU. The register will compute the price for the items purchased.
Stock (PLU Stock)
Each PLU reports an activity counter. Normally the activity counter increments (adds) and is
reset when a PLU Z-report is taken. You can choose to use the PLU activity counter as a
stock counter. If used as a stock counter, each PLU activity will reduce the count. A separate
program allows you to add to the stock count or enter a new stock count. Stock counts are not
reset when PLU Z-reports are taken.
Surcharge (Item)
An item percent surcharge adds a percentage to the price of an item. This addition nets the
PLU total.
Surcharge (Sale)
A sale percent surcharge adds a percentage to the entire sale.
Tare
Tares are container weights. If you are using the scale function, you can preset up to 5
different tare weights. The tare can be subtracted automatically when a specific PLU is
registered, or manually inputting the tare number and pressing the TARE key can subtract the
tare. Tare #5 can be programmed for entering tare weights manually.
Tax Computation by Rate/Tax Computation by Table
In the simplest method of tax calculation, the register is set with a tax rate (or rates) and the
taxes are computed by a percentage calculation. In some cases, a tax that is entered as a
percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply in your area (even if the tax chart
is based on a percentage). In these cases, we recommend that you enter your tax using tax
table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your
tax table.
Tax Exempt
Tax exempt is used to exclude the tax from an entire sale.
