Finding a PLU
If you know the PLU number
Enter the PLU number in the PLU No. field. The specified PLU appears selected in the PLU list.
If you know some or all of the PLU name
The PLU name is the first line of the PLU description that appears on the label. Enter the initial
characters of the PLU name in the Search field. The PLU list displays only those PLUs with
names that start with the entered text. For example, entering “BEEF” displays all PLU names
starting with the word “beef”. (The search is not case-sensitive: entering “beef” is the same as
entering “BEEF”.)
You can also use the wildcard characters (‘*’ and ‘?’) to specify a more detailed search
condition. For example, entering “*BEEF” displays all PLU names containing the word “beef”.
NOTE: The search re-executes automatically each time you type a character. The response
may be a bit slow on older computers. In this case, allow a few seconds for the list to
update.
If you do not know the PLU number or name
When the cursor is in the Search field, the PLU list only displays those PLUs that match the
search condition. Move the cursor back to the PLU No. field (e.g. click on the field) to clear the
search results and display all PLUs in the PLU list.
Next, use the scroll bar, the up and down arrow keys, or the PageUp and PageDown keys to
scroll the PLU list until you find the PLU you are looking for.
See Chapter 6 Creating and Editing PLUs for a full explanation of the PLU Search window.
