Tax Status, High Digit Lock Out, Pos./Neg. Single/
Multiple Item Sale and Price Linked to a Defined
Department
You can assign the following to individual departments:
• A department status, consisting of:
- Department activation or deactivation, where a deactivated
department cannot be used during a sales transaction. If you try
to use a deactivated department an error tone is sounded and
the letter "E" is displayed on the left-hand side of the displays.
- Department definition, meaning a Standard department where
ordinary items are sold or a Gallonage department where oil,
liquids, etc. are sold at unit price per gallon, liter, etc.
- Positive or negative single item cash transaction or multiple
item transaction capability whereby the department will
ring up each item entered as a positive or negative single
item transaction or as a positive or negative multiple item
transaction. The negative status allows you to perform negative
transactions where by the clerk pays back money to
customers (such as refunds on deposits).
- A High Digit Lock Out code whereby you prohibit item entries
for a certain number of digits and above.
- A taxable or non-taxable status.
• The price which will ring up automatically every time the appropri-
ate department key has been pressed. You can also skip this option,
in which case the price has to be entered manually before pressing
the department key.
The 6-digit department status can be programmed using the following
options:
Active Dept Dept. Def. Pos./Neg. Single/
Multiple Item Cash Sale
0 = Activate Dept 0 = Standard Dept 0 = Normal Dept (Pos.)
1 = Deactivate Dept 1 = Gallonage Dept 1 = Normal Dept (Neg.)
2 = Single item cash (Pos.)
3 = Single item cash (Neg.)
High Digit Lock Out Tax Status
0 = 7 digits (99999.99) 00 = Non tax.
1 = 1 digit (0.09) 01 = VAT 1
2 = 2 digits (0.99) 02 = VAT 2
3 = 3 digits (9.99) 03 = VAT 3
4 = 4 digits (99.99) 04 = VAT 4
5 = 5 digits (999.99)
6 = 6 digits (9999.99)
If Gallonage is selected as the department definition, during a sales
transaction the three numbers entered after the decimal point will be
rounded off according to the fraction rounding setting.
