Departments
A department is a group of machines within the store that reflects the way the store operates,
for example Produce, Bakery, Fresh Meat, Fish. Each department has its own set of products.
Note
: You cannot copy product PLUs from one department to another. However, you can copy
a department, which inherits all the products from the selected department.
Allocating products (PLUs) to the appropriate department:
•
Reduces the complexity of maintaining the PLU file.
•
Helps to reduce errors when selecting a PLU.
