====== Set Up Product Look Ups (PLU) ======

~~CONTEXTID:613~~

~~OLDHREF:useingplu.html~~

When using Point of Sale, **Product Lookup Codes (PLUs**) are used as a shortcut to quickly enter sales. PLUs eliminate the need to print a price tag for an item. They also eliminate the need to scan a barcode or enter the item number. Instead just a one or two digit **PLU** number is entered.

PLUs are especially useful when selling:

  * Small miscellaneous items. For instance, those displayed on or near the sales counter, such as trinkets, bubble gum, candy, mints, etc.;
  * Items with no price tag printed.

===== To Add Product Lookups =====

  - From the POS Hub, select the **More** button. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem3394.png|NewItem3394.png}} \\ Sign in if prompted. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem3393.png|NewItem3393.png}}

    * **PLU** : This is the number of the **PLU**. When at the Point Of Sale you will be able to simply type this number to access the item you are wanting to sell. By default the next available number will be chosen. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem3388.png|NewItem3388.png}}
