labels sized 4" by 1.5" (Avery 5159). Types B & C use labels sized 2.625" by 1" (Avery 5160). Label
type D prints a ½ page label as a sample shelf sign. It also does a conversion of the retail price from
kilogram to pound in the case of scalable items. The price descriptor is taken from the object table size
description field unless the fields is blank. Then we use the word each as size description. Your dealer
can modify labels for you so consult him for further assistance.
This example shows the Item table's "POS" tab, with the label selection tool.
The available label types appear in the list within the label selection utility. Each type of label in the list
has a selection box beside it. To associate a label type with the current item, place a check mark in
one or more of the label types. This associates a label type with the item.
Items can be associated with a label type without necessarily printing. To enable the item to be
selected at label printing time, the item must also be set to "
". Clicking the "Print" box in the label
section of the POS table sets the item as selectable at label printing time. Symphony Pro automatically
selects the "Print" box when a price is modified for the item.
To print labels, access the "Report" application from the Symphony Pro desktop. For help on printing
labels, refer to the
Printing Labels help page
under the Report System section in this manual.

Sub-department Table
Sub-department Overview
Symphony POS requires the linking of an item to a sub-department for several reasons. Rather than
taking a daily list of each product sold which be very lengthy for certain types of stores, a sub-
department report is used as an overview of what each area in the store is doing. Sub-departments are
in-turn linked to departments to provide a more consolidated view overall. Examples of departments
may be Grocery, services, etc. The Grocery department could in turn be broken down to many more
sub-departments: grocery, taxable grocery, meat, diary, etc.
Sub-departments all have individual flags for taxability, scale, etc. Once programmed, item
programming time can be reduced by associating the item with a sub-department using the "Follow
sub-department" option available in the item's "Quick" or "POS" tab. This way you only need to manage
the exceptions within a sub-department.
