Using PLU coding of goods allows you to organize convenient work eliminating errors in the storage and sale of goods.
In SmartTouch POS, it is possible to record weighted goods in accordance with their PLU code.
The list of products with PLU can be loaded into the Electronic Scale. Electronic scales weigh the goods and form a self-adhesive label indicating the Product Name, Product Weight and Product Cost. In addition, the barcode is printed on the label, which contains information about the product code and its weight. This Barcode is used by POS-terminal scanners to quickly get information about the sold weight product.
The PLU product code is the serial number of the product under which it is listed in the institution’s database and weights. The main requirement is that the PLU code must be unique in the institution’s coding system.
Group filling of the PLU code is done in the Admin Panel \ Product \ Products and dishes \ Gear \ Group filling
The value of the PLU product code can be viewed in the PLU field on the “Basic” tab in the product card
You can clear the PLU code by clicking on the Admin panel \ Product \ Products and dishes \ Gear \ Clear all PLU button
