Single Item
The transaction is finalized 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.
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.
Tax Shift
Tax shift keys are used to reverse the tax status of a PLU entry.
Tender
A tender is the register operation in which the amount of the payment is entered. If the tender
exceeds the amount due, the sale is finalized and change due is displayed.
Training Operation
Training operations do not add to PLU or function key totals. This allows an operator to practice
making entries without updating sales totals. If you wish to perform training operations, designate
one of the clerks for training. You must clear (Z) the register before the training clerk can be used.
When that clerk is signed on, the register is in "training mode".
Transaction Number
See consecutive number.
