Glossary
Activity Count
The activity counter increments each time an entry is made on a particular PLU, or function
key. The counter prints on the appropriate reports.
Cancel
Press the CANCEL function to abort a transaction in progress. All current items are
removed (voided).
Cash Declaration
This option forces the operator to count the cash drawer and input the results before the
financial report can be taken. Absentee owners may want clerks or managers to declare
the drawer counts to insure that all cash is deposited, regardless of overages, or shortages.
As an added benefit, the overage or shortage amount is calculated and printed on the
financial report.
Clerk
Sales clerks are individuals who are responsible for selling the merchandise to the customer.
Typically, management wants to know merchandise sales levels for each clerk, in order to
monitor productivity, account for cash and other media, and/or pay commissions. The
default program provides operation for 15 clerks, however up to 99 different clerks can
used by changing the default memory allocation.
Compulsory
When an operation is programmed compulsory, the appropriate entry must be performed in
order to complete the operation.
Compulsory Amount Tendering
This forces the operator to input the tender, rather than pressing a payment key directly.
The change will always be computed by the register when a customer tenders an amount
greater than the total due. Compulsory tendering will reduce cashier change errors.
Compulsory Condiment
When a kitchen printer, or requisition system is used, the merchant may wish to force the
entry of a condiment or instruction for specific items. If compulsory condiment status is
set for a specific PLU, then a condiment PLU must follow the entry of the item.
