AUXILIARY FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
Merchandise can be classified into a maximum of 99 departments. Items sold with use of the department keys
can later be printed on a report that shows the quantities sold and sales amounts classified by department. The
data is useful for making purchasing decisions and other store operations. Departments can be assigned to
articles whose prices were set using PLU/subdepartment function.
When using a department key, you must set the parameters to specify the department status, such as positive
or negative department. Prices can be assigned directly to departments for frequently purchased items, which
enables you to enter the prices by simply pressing the department keys or dept. code entries.

Tax status (taxable 1 through 4 / non-taxable)
• When any entry of a taxable department is made in a transaction, tax is automatically computed according to
the associated tax table or rate.
SICS (Single Item Cash Sale)
• If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the sale will be finalized as a cash sale as
soon as the department key is pressed. If the entry is made after entering a department not programmed for
SICS, the sale will not be finalized until the
A
key is pressed.
Entry digit limit
• Set the number of allowable digits for the maximum entry amount for each department. The limit is effective
for operations in the REG mode and can be overridden in the MGR mode.
