Advanced Programming - Using PLU Modifiers

If your products come in more than one size, PLU Modifiers can be used to switch from one size to another quickly and easily in QSO Mode.  However, care needs to be taken when assigning modifiers to both Parent and Ingredient PLU’s and also when programming PLU ingredients.

For more information on PLU Modifiers refer to PLU Item Details | POS Keypad Settings |Keypad Modifiers.

•Parent PLU’s must be programmed with PLU Modifiers as per usual.  
 
For example, if the PLU Modifiers were defined as ‘Sml’ and ‘Lrg’ then Parent PLU’s for Hawaiian Pizza need be named - ‘Sml Hawaiian and ‘Lrg Hawaiian or ‘Hawaiian Sml’ and ‘Hawaiian Lrg’.  The modifier name must be included in the name of the Parent PLU.

•Ingredient PLU’s need to be created for each size (PLU modifier).
 
This means for every ingredient that is to be used on a Parent PLU (that is using PLU Modifiers) an Ingredient PLU needs to be created for every PLU modifier defined.
 
For example, for the ingredient of Ham the following Ingredient PLU’s would need to be created:

1.+ Ham (with the ‘Sml’ PLU Modifier defined)

2.+ Ham (with the ‘Lrg’ PLU Modifier defined)

3.– Ham (with the ‘Sml’ PLU Modifier defined)

4.– Ham (with the ‘Lrg’ PLU Modifier defined).

In short, you need an Add and Subtract Ingredient PLU for every different PLU Modifier defined.

Program the appropriate PLU Ingredients to the appropriate Parent PLU’s.  For example, all Ingredient PLU’s with the ‘Sml’ PLU modifier defined would need to be programmed in the Parent PLU that also has the ‘Sml’ PLU Modifier defined.  Likewise, the Parent PLU’s and Ingredient PLU’s with the ‘Lrg’ PLU Modifier defined would need to be used together.
