Groups (PLU Groups)
Groups are used to organize sets of items. For example, in a restaurant Grill Items, Drinks,
and Ice Cream items might be separated into different groups. Up to 99 group totals are
available. Group reporting is available on the group report.
HALO
The high amount lock-out (HALO) limits the amount allowed to be entered in a PLU, or
function key.
HASH
Merchants often sell non-merchandise items, such as lottery tickets, or bottle deposits, that
they do not wish to account for as reportable revenue. HASH PLUs are useful to account for
non-revenue income. They will add to the appropriate totals on the PLU report, they will add
to the transaction totals, and they will be accountable for in drawer totals, but they will not
affect the merchants, NET SALES, GROSS SALES or NON-RESETTABLE GRAND
TOTAL. As a system option, HASH can be defined to not add to the transaction (NON-
ADD).
Link (PLU Link)
Use linked PLUs if you wish the registration a PLU to automatically cause the registration of
another PLU (for example to automatically add a bottle deposit.) Linked PLUs are set with
Program 350, PLU Link programming.
Macro
Macro keys may be programmed to record, and then later perform, up to 50 keystrokes.
For example, a macro key could be set to tender (preset tender) a common currency, such as
$5 into the cash key.
Memory Allocation
Memory allocation is a program that determines how the system memory is divided to
provide the correct features for your application. For example, you may require more or less
clerk memory, PLUs, or electronic journal memory. Memory allocation allows you to
maximize the features you need while minimizing the features you do not need.
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 ER-900 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
