The Connection Between Departments And Plus; Reports; Barcodes - ELCOM Euro-150TE Flexy User Manual

PLU
PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation used to denote a specific product item. The PLU code represents
the name of the product, the sale price, its barcode and flags (assignment to a department, VAT level, PLU
type, etc.)
DPT
Departments (DPTs) are used to denote groups of goods having some common features (dairy products,
foodstuffs, fruit, etc.). A department is characterised by it's name, parameters, and by the preprogrammed
selling price, if it is used for direct sale.
For example: whole milk – 0.63 GBP, plain yogurt – 0.31 GBP.

The connection between departments and PLUs

The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the product items
(PLUs).

Reports

Reports provide an overview of sales according to selected criteria (daily totals, periodical (e.g., monthly),
etc.). There are two basic types of reports: „X" and „Z".
„X" reports print out specific sales values (according to the report selected) without zeroing out this data in
the cash register memory
„Z" reports print out the sales values of the selected report, and after the printing of these values, zeroes
out the cash register memory.

Barcodes

A barcode is a graphic encoding of a number signifying a product according to strictly defined international
regulations. If a product has a barcode assigned, the barcode is depicted on each packaging for this product.
The most frequently used codes for products in Europe are the 13-digit code according to the EAN norm
(EAN - 13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8). The Euro-150TE/TX Flexy cash register is also capable of working
with EAN barcodes which contain an expanded 2 or 5-digit section. The cash register does now allow the
same code to be assigned to different products.
