positive). Positive PLUs are used for items that add to the sale. Negative PLUs are used for
items that subtract from a sale, like individual store coupons or bottle deposit credits.
NLU
Number Look-Up (NLU) refers to PLU code that is accessed when a Keyboard PLU is used.
In the default program each Keyboard PLU will look up the appropriate numeric PLU,
beginning with PLU #1 for Keyboard PLU key #1 and continuing sequentially through the
keyboard.
However, this numbering sequence may be impractical for some applications. For example,
Keyboard PLU #1 may represent a can of Diet Pepsi. The merchant may wish to have the
Keyboard PLU look up the UPC code number for Diet Pepsi, which is "120500". Using this
program, you can change the Number Look-Up (NLU) for the keyboard PLU to any 15-digit
number you choose.
No Sale
No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer. No sales are counted and reported on
the financial report.
Not Found PLU
For small merchants, the ER-900 Series can build a PLU file "on the fly". Each time an item
is scanned (or entered by PLU number) that is not in the PLU file, the operator is prompted
to enter the price and other options for the item. At the end of the day, the "Not Found PLU
Report" will allow the manager to verify the prices and update the PLU file as needed. T
Open (PLU)
Open PLUs accept price entries, rather than register a preset price. To prevent errors, you
may set a high limit (HALO) for open entries.
Override
Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or entry limit (HALO).
Over-Tendering/Under-Tendering
When a payment is made less than the amount due, it is called an under-tender. After an
under-tender, the register calculates and displays the remaining balance for the sale.
Additional payments must be made until the total due is satisfied. When the sale is fully
paid, the cash drawer will then open and the receipt is completed. When a payment is made
more than the amount due, it is called an over-tender. The register will compute and display
the change due and the receipt will be completed. Note that register options can be set to
allow or disallow over-tendering for check and charge payments.
Paid Out
The Paid Out key is used to track cash paid out of the cash drawer or to record pickups from
the cash drawer.
PLUs
Price look-ups (PLUs) are accessed by indexing a code number and pressing the PLU key, or
by pressing a keyboard PLU key. PLU's can be programmed with a preset or open price.
PLU's record an activity count and dollar total on the PLU report. PLU sales may also report
