CONFIDENTIAL Where is Merchandise Configured? Our system supports the concept of “modifiers” to provide a mechanism to more specifically define the product when the same barcode is used to indicate different packaging of the same product. This is seen most often on canned soda (singles, 6-packs, etc). The combination of the PLU# and modifier uniquely identifies a product along with its price, taxability and other information. For most PLUs, this modifier value is zero. PLU Parameters - Modifiers 14

CONFIDENTIAL Where can I change prices for multiple PLU’s all at once? Group price change allows PLU prices to be adjusted based on their assigned department. Prices can be increased by amount, percentage, or be set to the same price. All PLU prices can be changed or items can be selected from the list to update only the highlighted PLUs. Click Save to make the changes you’ve configured. Be sure to log out of sales mode and back in to get these updates! Group Price Change 15
