JOB CODE & PAY RATE An employee might have more than one job, possibly with a different pay rate for each job. For example, in a restaurant, an employee might work as a server one day, and on a different day or shift, work as a cashier. Here you can create these different job codes and pay rates to be used for your employees.
STATION Create stations to be assigned to employees. For example you may have a Bar Station and a Server Station. Stations can be assigned to default MLU/MLU GROUP, FLU and Printers. Stations can also have different Receipt, Guest Check, and Kitchen Printer assignments. 1.
The SAM4POS provides calculation for up to ten different taxes. Tax calculations can be an ADD ON percentage, TAX TABLE, or VAT (Value-Added Tax). Tax Groups are used to assign taxes to specific PLUs. The Tax Groups are assigned to items through the PLU Status Group programming.
TAX PROGRAMMING There are three calculation options for each of the ten possible taxes. • Add-On - most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an add-on tax percentage rate. • VAT - if tax is included in the cost of the item, you can use value added tax (VAT) to calculate the tax share of each sale.
Tax Table Programming 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 the tax rate using tax table programming method.
Page 109
Tax Table Example - 6% Tax Table 1. Examine the printed tax table for the tax you are programming. 2. Examine the pattern of break point differences to determine when the break points begin to repeat. Mark the beginning break points that do not fit a pattern as “Non-Repeat Breaks.” Mark the break points that are repeating in a pattern as “Repeat Breaks.”...
TAX GROUP Tax Groups are used to assign tax rates to taxable PLUs. A tax group can be assigned a single tax rate, multiple tax rates or no tax rates, depending on the application needs. Individual Tax Groups are assigned in the PLU Status Group programming and the PLU Status Groups are then assigned to individual PLUs to apply the appropriate tax for the item.

Display (VGA Monitor) If you can connect a 2 Display to the VGA port on the SAP-6600 terminal, it will display the same information as the front (operator) screen.
