Mix & MatchMultiple ReceiptsNegative PLUsNLUNo SaleNot Found PLUOpen (PLU)OverrideRetailers often offer discounts when multiples of different items are purchased. For example,the offer: “save $5 on any three bottles of wine” can be handled by a mix and match discount.The default SPS-300 Series can accommodate up to 10 different mix and match discounts, thetotal can be increased to a maximum of 100 through memory allocation.In some cases, for example where a mail-in rebate is offered, an extra copy of a receipt isneeded. If allowed, the receipt must be re-printed immediately, before another transaction isstarted.As you program PLUs, you will find a setting to make them negative (normally they arepositive). Positive PLUs are used for items that add to the sale. Negative PLUs are used foritems that subtract from a sale, like individual store coupons or bottle deposit credits.Number Look-Up (NLU) refers to PLU code that is accessed when a Keyboard PLU is used.In the default program each Keyboard PLU will look up the appropriate numeric PLU,beginning with PLU #1 for Keyboard PLU key #1 and continuing sequentially through thekeyboard.However, this numbering sequence may be impractical for some applications. For example,Keyboard PLU #1 may represent a can of Diet Pepsi. The merchant may wish to have theKeyboard PLU look up the UPC code number for Diet Pepsi, which is “120500”. Using thisprogram you can change the Number Look-Up (NLU) for the keyboard PLU to any 15-digitnumber you choose.No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer. No sales are counted and reported onthe financial report.For small merchants, the SPS-300 Series can build a PLU file “on the fly”. Each time an itemis scanned (or entered by PLU number) that is not in the PLU file, the operator is prompted toenter the price and other options for the item. At the end of the day, the “Not Found PLUReport” will allow the manager to verify the prices and update the PLU file as needed. TOpen PLUs accept price entries, rather than register a preset price. To prevent errors, youmay set a high limit (HALO) for open entries.Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or entry limit (HALO).SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.2 Glossary • 287
