Not Found PLU
Note: The “SYSTEM” of "Options Programming" in the "Program Mode
Programming" chapter. “ENABLE NOT FOUND PLU” must be set to YES to allow
this function.
The “Not Found PLU” feature is available for use when an optional scanner is used to input
PLUs. If an item is scanned that is not programmed in the PLU file, the operator has the
option to input the price of the item and assign it the same descriptor and properties of
another PLU. This provides a simple mechanism for quickly building an item file for a
simple scanning installation.
1. Scan an item or input a PLU number. If the item is in the PLU file, it will
register, if an item is not in the PLU file, the NOT FOUND PLU screen will
display:
NOT FOUND PLU
STOP:0 SAVE:1
2. Press the numeric “1” key to allow the registration of the PLU. The screen will
display PRICE field.
NOT FOUND PLU
PLU# 12345
PRICE 0.00
3. Enter the PLU PRICE and press the CASH key. The screen will be display:
NOT FOUND PLU
SELECT COPY PLU
0
4. Press on the keyboard or enter a PLU number and press the PLU key. The PLU
will register using the descriptor and tax status of the copied PLU.
Note: The not found PLU will assume the same attributes of the PLU selected here. For
example, if the item scanned is a “liquor” item, then press another PLU in the liquor
category, or if you are using a PLU designated to accept open liquor entries, that PLU
must be set to be a preset PLU with a preset value of zero and preset override allowed.
(If you copy the PLU to an open PLU, the not found PLU will also be an open PLU.).
Not Found PLU List
Managers will typically use the “Not Found PLU list” as a tool to update the PLU file. A
list of up to 50 not found PLU items can be retained in the list. When capacity is reached,
you must RESET NOT FOUND PLU LIST.
To run a NOT FOUND PLU list, choose X REPORTS → PLU → NOT FOUND
PLU (selection #3) from the PLU REPORT menu
To run a Reset Not Found PLUs, choose NOT FOUND PLU (selection #3) from the
Z MODE menu.
