Tax Exempt; Tax Shift - Sam4s ER-920 Operator's And Programming Manual

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.
Tare
Tares are container weights. If you are using the scale function, you can preset up to 5
different tare weights. The tare can be subtracted automatically when a specific PLU is
registered, or manually inputting the tare number and pressing the TARE key can subtract the
tare. Tare #5 can be programmed for entering tare weights manually.
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.
