Single Item Cash Sale (SICS) Entry
This function is used for the sale of one item to be paid
by cash. It is applicable only to departments
programmed for single-item cash sales or to PLUs
associated with such departments. After the appropriate
department or
P
key is pressed, the transaction is
complete and the drawer opens. For the programming of
SICS, see the Department Status section in
“Programming.”
PLU (Price Look Up)
The PLU function allows speedy key entries. When a
PLU code has been assigned to an item and a price for
it has been programmed, entry of the code
automatically calls up the price for the item. Up to 80
PLU codes are programmable. See the PLU
programming section in “Programming”
To enter a sale of a PLU item, simply enter its code and
press
P

Tax Calculation
Automatic Tax Calculation
When the register is programmed with a tax table or tax
rate method and the tax status of a department is
programmed as taxable, the register automatically
computes the tax on any item entered using the
department key for that department or a PLU code
associated with that department.
Taxable Subtotal

where R, M and Q represent the following:
R: Tax rate (0.0000% to 99.9999%) x 10000
If the rate is fractional, it should be converted to its
decimal equivalent before entering.
M: Cycle (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
In tax table 1, you can see that the breakpoint
differences repeat in cycle. The value of M may be
viewed as the taxable amount which is covered by a
cycle. Thus, it can be determined by adding all of the
breakpoint differences in a cycle or by simply taking the
difference between the first breakpoint of the cycle and
the first breakpoint of the next cycle.
Q: Minimum taxable amount (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
This represents the smallest amount for which tax must
be collected. In some states, sales whose amounts are
less than a specific minimum taxable amount are not
subject to taxation.
Breakpoints (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
The tax amount increases in stages. The value of a
taxable subtotal at which the tax amount changes is
called a breakpoint. The difference between one
breakpoint and the next is called the breakpoint
difference. A group of breakpoint differences is
repeated at regular intervals and each of these intervals
is called a cycle. A maximum of 18 breakpoints (for tax
types 1 and 2), between 0.01 to 99.99, can be
programmed. Intervals between breakpoints must be
less than one dollar.
Example: Programmig Tax 1 as 6% sales tax using
sample tax table 1.
