Introduction
Sales units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of sold goods (metres, litres, etc.). Each PLU has as-
signed a specific sales unit in which the quantity of sold goods is indicated. It’s possible to program 8 sales
units with a maximum of three characters.
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).
Connection between departments and PLUs
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.

Report
A report is a sales overview of a particular choice (financial, total, cashiers, 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.
Bar code
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).
