6.5 Programming PLUs / items
A maximum of 4,096 PLUs (items) can be programmed.
6.5.1 Programmable contents
The following 9 features must or can be programmed or defined for each PLU:
6.5.1.1 PLU number
There are 4,096 memory locations available.
EAN bar codes with up to 13 digits can be read via a bar code scanner.
6.5.1.2 PLU caption
You can programme individual PLU names (max. 18 characters). This programming step is optional. On leaving the
factory, general, standard names are pre-programmed.
6.5.1.3 PLU fixed prices
Two PLU fixed prices can be programmed. PLU fixed price 1 is usually the standard price, PLU fixed price 2 is normally a
reduced price, e.g. within the scope of a "happy hour" or for products which are no longer fresh, such as bread, fruit,
vegetables, etc.
The entry of a PLU fixed price is optional. If you do not enter fixed prices (fixed price is 0.00), the cash register only
operates using free pricing.
When programming, always enter the fixed price with the set number of decimal places and decimal point.
6.5.1.4 Tax rate assignment
Assign each PLU to a tax rate.
6.5.1.5 Department assignment
Assign each PLU to a department.
6.5.1.6 PLU status
Use the PLU status to define whether it is a positive or negative PLU.
PLU type PLU status number
Positive PLU 00
Negative PLU 01
6.5.1.7 LINK PLUs
LINK PLUs are linked to a "normal" PLU. When the "normal" PLU is then registered, the LINK PLU is automatically
registered too. LINK PLUs are often used in the sale of drinks in deposit bottles, for example. The deposit bottle is then
the LINK PLU. A maximum of 3 LINK PLUs can be programmed for each PLU.
Note: The LINK PLU must be set-up before it is linked during the course of programming a PLU (see Chapter 6.6).
6.5.1.8 2-digit identity code for order type and printout on the kitchen printer
(a) The first digit in the 2-digit code defines the order type (order #) to which the PLU should belong.
(b) The second digit in the 2-digit code defines the type of output on the kitchen printer (KD#) for the PLU.
(a) Order type / Order number (Order #)
The order types only work when the cash register is operating in its gastronomy version. They ensure that PLUs with the
same order number (order #) are printed on the same receipt. The receipts with different order numbers are printed in
succession. This means that meals, drinks and other items sold can be listed clearly (also see Chapter 6.25).
A maximum of 7 order types can be set-up. The order type numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Note: The order messages can be reprogrammed manually (see Chapter 6.25).
Note: If you operate the cash register in its retail version (see Chapter 6.30), programme a 0 at this point. The
order function is then no longer available.
