8. INQUIRIES
This chapter describes various inquiries made from each terminal to the Master Terminal and affect data (sales
data updating).
8.1 PLU Inquiries
When the feature “PLUs to be inquired” is selected and a PLU is entered in a sale (entered manually or through a
barcode) on each terminal, the terminal inquires the PLU to the Master Terminal. The inquired Master Terminal
searches the PLU code in the PLU Main Table and the PLU Additional Table.
When the PLU exists, the Master Terminal responds the price, name, and other required data to the inquiring
terminal.
When the applicable PLU code does not exist in the Master Terminal, the message “CODE ERROR” (standard
program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring terminal.
PLU URGENT MAINTENANCE
When the inquired PLU code does not exist in the Master Terminal, the PLU can be programmed into the Master
Terminal (and the Backup Master Terminal) along with its sale entry on the terminal by entering the linked
Department and the price. The PLU thus entered is temporarily programmed in the PLU Additional Table.
AFFECT
When a PLU entry is determined on a terminal, the terminal sends an AFFECT text to the Master Terminal (and
Backup Master Terminal), and updates the sales data of the Master Terminal (and Backup Master Terminal).
NOTE: When the PLU Urgent Maintenance is not possible resulting from the PLU Additional File is full, the
error message “PROGRAM ERROR” (standard program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring
terminal.
8.2 Customer File (Check Track) Inquiries
When the feature “Customer File (Check Track)” (instead of PB Manual Entry) is selected and a PICK UP
BALANCE (by [PICK UP BAL]) is entered on a terminal, the terminal inquires the entered Customer File Code to
the Master Terminal. The inquired Master Terminal searches the Customer File Code in the Customer File Table.
When the Customer File Code exists, the Master Terminal responds the name and the previous balance of the
Customer File to the inquiring terminal.
NEW CUSTOMER FILE INQUIRIES
When a NEW CUSTOMER FILE (by [CODE OPEN] key) is entered on a terminal, the terminal inquires the new
Customer File code entered to the Master Terminal. The Master Terminal confirms that the inquired Customer
File code does not exist, then adds it to the Customer File table, and responds to the inquiring terminal that the
code has been additionally set. (If a Backup Master is connected, the code inquiry to and additional setting in the
Backup Master Terminal occur at the same time.)
AFFECT
When a Customer File entry is determined on a terminal, the terminal sends an AFFECT text to the Master
Terminal (and Backup Master Terminal), and updates the sales data of the Master Terminal (and Backup Master
Terminal).
NOTES:
1. When the applicable file code does not exist on a Customer File Code inquiry (by [PICK UP BAL]) or when
the applicable file code exists on a New Customer File Code inquiry (by [CODE OPEN]), the message “CODE
ERROR” (standard program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring terminal.
2. When the addition of new customer file code is not possible resulting from the Customer File is full, the error
message “PROGRAM ERROR” (standard program; programmable) is displayed on the inquiring terminal.
