PLU Numbers

This window is where you can set up the link between the products in StockManager and the products in the till system.

If you are going to use the program to automatically import data from the till, it is essential that you assign the correct PLU number to each product.

However, if you are going to manually enter the sales data from the paper till roll (or back-office report), it is important that the products appear on the main Till Check screen in the same order as they do on the till roll. This makes data entry much easier. You can use the till's PLU Numbers, or if there are none showing on the till roll, you can make them up.
Tip : Leave gaps in between made-up numbers as it's likely that the pub will start to sell new products that appear part way down the list.

Yes, it is possible to use your product codes as the PLU numbers, but it will make entry of the sales data much more onerous.

For any products that are on the same PLU Number, e.g. Bells 70cl and Bells 1.5 LT, you must decide which is the 'master' product, e.g. Bells 1.5 LT, and tick it. You can change the master by un-ticking one product and ticking another. By default, a new PLU number will be assigned as the 'master' product.

Note : If PLU Numbers on the till start with a zero, e.g. 0241, you must include the zero in StockManager.
