the PLU maintenance program or for grouping items accessed by a single group key on the Profit
Point keyboard. Possible values for this field are: 0-255.
PROMO - The promo field reflects the promotion number of the item. No decimal points are
allowed, and this field is strictly numeric. This field is used for tracking items in the PLU
maintenance program. Possible values for this field are: 0-255.
SALES - The sales field reflects the total instances of sales of an item. No decimal points are
allowed, and this field is strictly numeric. This is one of the totalizer fields. Possible values for this
field are: -999999999 through 999999999. Negative values indicate negative sales quantities.
SOLD - The sold field reflects the total number of items that have been sold, in hundredths of an
item. No decimal points are allowed, and this field is strictly numeric. This is one of the totalizer
fields. Possible values for this field are: -999999999 through 999999999. Negative values indicate
negative sales quantities.
INCOME - The income field reflects the total amount of money collected for an item, in pennies.
No decimal points are allowed, and this field is strictly numeric. This is one of the totalizer fields.
Possible values for this field are: -999999999 through 999999999. Negative values indicate
negative sales quantities.
DATE - The date field represents the last time an item was sold. Use of this field is NOT
RECOMMENDED. Use the year, day, and month fields instead. This field was provided for
backwards compatibility. Its year is relative to the creation date in the header of the PLU file. The
last two digits represent the last two digits of the year, and the first two digits of the year are
assumed in such a way that the resulting year falls -20/+80 years from the year of creation of the
PLU file.
No decimal points are allowed, and this field is strictly numeric. The range for this field is from 0
to 65535, which represents a binary number. Looking at the binary number with the MSB as bit 15
and the LSB as bit 0, the date can be interpreted as follows:
b15-b9: binary number equal in value to the year/100. Valid: 0-99
b8-b5: binary number equal in value to the month. Valid: 1-12
b4-b0: binary number equal to the day. Valid: 1-31
YEAR - The year field represents the last year the item was sold. Its year is relative to the creation
date in the header of the PLU file: The last two digits represent the last two digits of the year, and
the first two digits of the year are assumed in such a way that the resulting year falls - 20/+80 years
from the year of creation of the PLU file. No decimal points are allowed, and this field is strictly
