Sell by PLU (direct, manual, barcode) in BEST POS (Retail)

Summary

This article explains three ways to ring sales by PLU in BEST POS: via the PLU key (direct), by manually keying the code, and using a barcode scanner. It also covers repeating the last item and handling weight-based PLUs (scale). No screenshots are required—labels and paths are explicit.

Step-by-step Instructions

1) Prerequisites

  • Cashier is logged in and POS is ready.
  • Article PLUs are configured and accessible.
  • If selling by weight, the scale is connected and detected.

2) Direct PLU sale (using the “Code” key)

  1. On the sales screen, press the Code key mapped to the PLU.
  2. Check: the line item is added to the invoice.

Manual reference: Direct PLU sale. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14} :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

3) Manual PLU sale (key the code)

  1. Enter the PLU code on the keypad.
  2. Press Code to validate and sell the item.
  3. Tip: to repeat the last item without retyping the code, just press Code again.
  4. For a weight-based PLU, place the item on the scale, key the code, then press Code.
