This topic is in reference to the Acme Office Supplies sample company data.
There are 6 items that have PLU 1,2,3, 45 and 6 assigned to them. Every time you type in a number 1 through 6 while Acme is ready to scan items, the related item will be sold. These simply demonstrate how you can create short "cheater" codes for popular items that are not assigned to a speed key.
Beverage > Tea & Soda Department
-All items have...
•multiple units of measure, like each and case12 or case06.
•Price breaks for case06 or case12.
•More than one vendor, with vendor specific cost.
•Food Stamp / SNAP Eligible is set to YES.
•Taxable is No.
Quantity Breaks
Advil Pain Reliever mini-pack. 39 cents 3 for .89.
Stop on Qty (also incidentally Non-stock)
We let customers use our copy machine. Two items, Black and White and Color copies stop and ask for Quantity. These items are also non-stock, it would not make sense to keep track of how many are on-hand. "COPY BLACK" is also on hold.
Item On Hold
Item “COPY BLACK” is on hold. I think the copier is out of toner.
Restricted Items
Beer and Wine require clerk to enter birth date of customer that is at least 21 years old. this can be done via barcode reader, magnetic stripe "swiper", on-screen or physical keyboard.
Sales Tax
At the store location...
Item: ICE MELT Gets taxed at 9%. This item also stops on quantity, since Ice Melt is being sold by the pound.
Beer and Wine are taxed at 8%
General Merchandise is taxable goods are 6.5%
Rochester Minnesota... (tickets marked for delivery to Rochester)
Item: ICE MELT Gets taxed at 9.5%. This item also stops on quantity, since Ice Melt is being sold by the pound.
Beer and Wine are taxed at 8.5%
General Merchandise is taxable goods are 7.0%
MISC Items
We have a number of MISC items set up to handle various tax and food stamp situations.
We also have a MISC item for each major departments. This is a good way to transition from an old school cash register to using Acme and buys you time to build your inventory database.
Paid Out
There are several Paid Out items, for various purposes.
They are set up in >Maintenance >Acme Setup Information >Pay Out.
-Cash Drop. Take money from drawer and put in safe.
-Delivery Received. -Pay vendor when they drop off an order.
-Windows. -Pay the company that comes in to wash your windows.
Restocking Fees
There is a Restocking Fee Item = "RESTOCKING" and a Default Restocking Fee of 10%.
Most items have restocking fee set to YES, GIFTCARD would be an exception.
Item over-ride restocking fees can be higher or lower than the default restocking fee, as needed. Advil has a restocking fee of 20%
Customer Roy Munson is subject to a 5% restocking fee. This over-rides the default 10%. Customer over-ride restocking fees can be higher or lower than the default restocking fee, as needed.
Default {Host Accounting System} Item Code
Skip this if you don’t have Acme integrated with a host accounting system
Setup an item in your host accounting system with an item code POS-ONLY.
Set up a item in Acme that does not exist in your host accounting system.
Sell the item to someone in Acme.
Post the transaction to your host.
The transaction (invoice) created in the host will be for the POS-ONLY item.
The POS-ONLY item would never be selected while entering a ticket in Acme. It can be set to sell on hold and purchase on hold.
