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 PLU’s.
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.
ENTER PRICE+CASH
0.00
3. Enter the PLU PRICE and press the CASH key. (If the PLU has a second price, you
will be prompted to enter it as well.) The screen will be display:
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 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 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.

PLU (selection #3) from the PLU REPORT menu
