k) Single Item
A PLU that has been programmed as a single item automatically closes the transaction by a programmed total
key [MF-4.b]. This function is especially useful for the bar since simply registering the single item PLU close
the transaction automatically.
There are two types of single item transactions as follows:
Single-item 1:
This can be used as normal registration with other non-single items and will not automatically
close the transaction.
enter the
non-single item
--- enter the
single-item 1
--- can be continued ---
Single-item 2:
This can be used with non-single items but will automatically close the transaction.
enter the
non-single item
--- enter the
single-item 2
--- closed automatically
Regarding the four examples shown below, examples (1) and (2) show the transaction is closed the same way
since only one single item is registered.
In example (3), upon registering BEER/single-item 1 following the entry of SANDWICH/non-single item does
not close the transaction automatically.
In example (4), upon registering MARTINI/single-item 2 following the entry of SANDWICH/non-single item,
the transaction is closed automatically.
Single-item 1 = BEER [PF-1.h] -- The transaction is not closed automatically following entry of non-single item.
Single-item 2 = MARTINI [PF-1.g] -- The transaction is closed automatically following entry of non-single item.
Non-single item = SANDWICH

Single item combination for a PLU with link PLU
Programmed as
Transaction will be
Main PLU:
Link PLU:
single-item 1 or 2
non-single item or single-item 1 or 2
Only the main PLU is registered and closed automatically.
The link PLU is not registered.
Main PLU:
Link PLU:
non-single item
single-item 1 or 2
Both PLUs are registered and not closed if link PLU is single-item 1.
If link PLU is single-item 2, it is closed automatically.
If a PLU and link PLU which are programmed as single items are entered with other non-single items, the transaction is
either closed or not closed depending on the selecting of single-item 1 (can be continued) or single-item 2 (closed
automatically).
