Tips and FAQs

  • Forced level vs override: use P1–P4 when the alternate price is already configured; use Override PLU Price for one-off exceptions.
  • Permissions: if you see Manager required, a higher access level is needed to perform the action. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
  • Global “Price Level” toggle: a keyboard-mapped Price Level function exists; create a dedicated article if you plan to switch active levels globally on a register. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14} :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
  • Audit: after changes (section 4), ring a test sale and verify the sales reports.
