Introduction

PLU

PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation for the denomination of the specific goods (goods item). The PLU code

represents the goods name, the sale price, bar-code and flags (assignment to an department, VAT level, PLU

type etc.). For example: Fat milks - 0,85 GBP, White yoghurt - 1,20 GBP).

The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the goods items

(PLUs). Sixteen PLUs and four goods groups were used here.

Milk produce

Yogurt white

Whole milk 1L

Curdy cream

Eidam 30%

A report is a sales overview of a particular choice (financial, total, cashier, PLU etc.)

There are two basic types of reports: "X" and "Z".

"X" reports print the concrete sales values (according to the report chosen) without resetting the data.

"Z" reports print the sales values of the chosen report. After values print out, all values are reset to zero in

the cash register memory.

Coding of the numeric description of products into bars corresponds with clearly defined international rules.

If a product has an assigned bar-code, it appears on each of these goods. The most frequently used code

for product or merchandise denomination in Europe is the 13-digit code according to the EAN norm (EAN-

13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8).
