DEPARTMENT TAX STATUS
__________________________________________________________________
Each department can represent a category of merchandise. For example, Department 1 can represent sales of beverages,
Department 2; sandwiches, Department 3; candy, etc. Each department can be programmed as taxable or non-taxable. If
desired, each department can also be programmed with a preset price, although that preset price can be overridden at any time.
Each PLU programmed in the register must then be assigned to a Department, which will define the tax rate to be charge for
that PLU.
To access Departments 9 through 16, press the
[dept shift]
key first, and then press the department key that you need
(Department 9 through 16).
The programming of the departments consists of 3 steps: selecting the Multiple/Single Item Sale status, the Tax Status and the
Department Preset Price.
1.
Tax
Status
- allows you to tax or not to tax a department key.
2.
Multiple/Single Item Sales
- Multiple Item Sale (Standard) allows many items to be rung up within a transaction.
Single Item Sale allows only one item to be rung up in a transaction.
3.
Department Preset Price
(Optional) - allows you to program a price in a department key to save time when ringing
up a sales entry. The price will automatically ring up each time the appropriate department key is pressed.
Note: You can have up to 4 Tax Rates in the register. These are set in the next section - Tax Rate. Use the chart below to
determine how you want a department to calculate taxes. For the sake of simplicity, if your jurisdiction only uses one tax rate,
then you should set that one fixed percentage rate under TAX1, for example, and then assign TAX1 to all taxable departments.
