Programming Department Preset Price
Department Preset Price programs a preset price in a department to save
time when ringing up an entry. Even if a price has been pre-programmed,
you can override the price at the time of sale.
The price automatically rings up each time that department key is
pressed.
Programming Tax Status
You must collect tax on some items by law. You can program your cash
register to automatically assign the right amount of tax, based on the
department the item is assigned to.
You can set no tax, or link to a single tax rate (Tax 1, Tax 2, Tax 3, or Tax
4) or multiple tax rates to a department key. For information about setting
the tax rates, see Selecting the Tax System on page 72. You must program
non-tax or a tax rate for the department programming to be accepted. The
default setting is non-tax for departments.
Setting the Group
You can assign departments to one of 10 groups. Assigning groups lets you
run report totals for the entire group. For example, you can have a group
for beverages that includes the departments for Milk, Soda, Juices, and
Coffee. You can run a group report to see the sales for these beverages.
For more information about reports and groups, see Running
Management Reports on page 83.
Setting Standard, Gallonage or Negative Mode
A department can be set for Standard Mode, Gallonage Mode, or
Negative Mode.
Gallonage Mode allows entering a price with 3 decimal places,
representing the cost per gallon, pound, kilogram, yard, meter, or other
unit of measurement. For example, $2.899 per gallon.
The quantity, representing the unit of measurement, can also be entered
in up to 3 decimal places. This lets you enter 10.931 gallons of gasoline at
$2.899 a gallon.
Standard Mode enters the price using the normal 2 decimal place setting.
Negative Mode allows you to set the price to a negative number. This is
useful when you need to assign preset discounts or coupons. Using
