Price Look-Ups; Creating Price Look-Ups (Plu's) - Royal 89214G Instruction Manual

The Price Look Up system allows for fast, accurate entry of an item and automatically tracks the number of items
sold. Each PLU number is associated to one item or sku.
There are 2 methods in programming PLU's. One method is to set the PLU number with a preset price known as
a Fixed PLU Price. The second method is to set the PLU without a preset price, where you are able to manually
enter the price of an item while still having the sales activity recorded under the PLU number on management reports,
known as an Open PLU Price (sub- department). The Open PLU Price is recommended for items whose prices
change frequently.
Before getting started with programming PLU's, the following 3 steps should be done:
1. Make a list of the PLU numbers and their prices you wish to program.
2. Decide whether you want the PLU number designated as a Fixed PLU Price or an Open PLU Price. Note:
The Fixed PLU Price does not allow you to enter, override or change a PLU's preset price in the
register mode; whereas a price must be entered during a sales transaction for the Open PLU Price
item.
3. Determine if each PLU number requires tax or no tax. If tax is required for a particular PLU number, be sure to
link the PLU number to a department that is programmed for tax. Likewise, if a PLU number does not require
tax, then link the PLU number to a department that is programmed non-taxable.
Program a PLU for an OPEN PLU Price
Note: This procedure should only be done if you are interested in the Open PLU Price (sub-department) option.
Otherwise, proceed to the next section on Programming PLU Prices.
1. Enter the program mode: Move the Control Switch to the "prog" position.
2. Press the [Clerk ] key to begin programming the PLU Status.
3. Type the [PLU # between 0001 - 2000]
4. Press the [PLU] key
5. Enter the PLU Status #: type [0] or [1].
[0] = Fixed PLU Price (This is the factory default option).
[1] = Open PLU Price (Sub-department option).
6. Press the [Department] key for the department (and associated tax rate) to which that PLU item will be linked.
7. Repeat Steps #3 through 6 for all desired PLU numbers.
8. Press the [Clerk] key to finish programming the PLU Status.
9. Continue to the next section on programming the PLU Price.
Program a PLU with a FIXED Price
1. Enter the Program mode: Move the Control Switch to the "prog" position.
2. Press the [qty/time] key to begin programming.
3. Type the [PLU Number between 0001 - 2000]
4. Press the [PLU] key.
5. Type the PLU Price using the [number keys].
6. Press the [Department] key for the department (and associated tax rate) to which that PLU item will be linked.
7. Repeat Steps #3 through 6 for all desired PLU numbers. Note: When programming PLU numbers
consecutively, it is not necessary to type the PLU number each time. The system automatically
prompts you with the next PLU number.
8. Press the [qty/time] key to finish programming PLU prices.
