Mix & Match
Retailers often offer discounts when multiples of different items are purchased. For example,
the offer: “save $5 on any three bottles of wine” can be handled by a mix and match discount.
The default SPS-300 Series can accommodate up to 10 different mix and match discounts, the
total can be increased to a maximum of 100 through memory allocation.
Multiple Receipts
In some cases, for example where a mail-in rebate is offered, an extra copy of a receipt is
needed. If allowed, the receipt must be re-printed immediately, before another transaction is
started.
Negative PLUs
As you program PLUs, you will find a setting to make them negative (normally they are
positive). Positive PLUs are used for items that add to the sale. Negative PLUs are used for
items that subtract from a sale, like individual store coupons or bottle deposit credits.
NLU
Number Look-Up (NLU) refers to PLU code that is accessed when a Keyboard PLU is used.
In the default program each Keyboard PLU will look up the appropriate numeric PLU,
beginning with PLU #1 for Keyboard PLU key #1 and continuing sequentially through the
keyboard.
However, this numbering sequence may be impractical for some applications. For example,
Keyboard PLU #1 may represent a can of
Diet Pepsi . The merchant may wish to have the
Keyboard PLU look up the UPC code number for Diet Pepsi , which is “120500”. Using this
program you can change the Number Look-Up (NLU) for the keyboard PLU to any 15-digit
number you choose.
No Sale
No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer. No sales are counted and reported on
the financial report.
Not Found PLU
For small merchants, the SPS-300 Series can build a PLU file “on the fly”. Each time an item
is scanned (or entered by PLU number) that is not in the PLU file, the operator is prompted to
enter the price and other options for the item. At the end of the day, the “Not Found PLU
Report” will allow the manager to verify the prices and update the PLU file as needed. T
Open (PLU)
Open PLUs accept price entries, rather than register a preset price. To prevent errors, you
may set a high limit (HALO) for open entries.
Override
Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or entry limit (HALO).
