After you have allocated the code to a department, the vat code has to
be selected, this can be any code between A to F, the value of these
rates will be set in a later screen.

You will now be in the field to set the prices against this product. Each
products can have Up to 4 prices set against it, these can be accessed
by the Server in a number of ways.
One way could be by a price change key, or another way could be set to
change the price band automatically by time. We will cover this in a later
section.

After you have allocated the price for each level the discountable field
will be highlighted. By pressing your space bar the selection will change
between,  All, Staff Only   and   No.

Let me explain the differences....  All means that when this product is
sold as part of a transaction, that has had a discount applied to it, then
this product will be discounted.
Where as if No is selected and the product is sold as part of the same
transaction, then this particular product will not be discounted.

So where as on some other models where the discount is calculated on
all the products sold at subtotal, these machines offer much more
flexibility.

The Staff Only selection refers to a magnetic card swipe system. The
Staff card is swiped at the beginning of the transaction and discount is
calculated on each product as it is sold.

The next area that is highlighted is the commission group this is not
used at present.

Price flag   is next, pressing the space bar will change the selection
between, Pre-set, Non-Priced and Price  Check.

Most of the products will be set as pre-set.
If the product is set as non-priced then when this product is entered
the display will prompt the Server to enter an amount.
This would be similar to an open department on some other models.
