To add a new PLU, double click on any PLU in the database (preferably one in the 

same dept), then click the Add button. The cursor will be in the PLU textbox. At this 

point a PLU number must be entered, even if you wish to just close the form. Now 

enter all the information related to the PLU. If incorrect data is entered in a textbox, 

you will here a beep then the textbox will be cleared. For price and discount, a decimal does 

not have to be entered; it will automatically format to 2 decimal places. Commodity line 1 must 

have at least 1 space due to the “DeptCom1” sort index. For the tare field, make sure to enter the 

correct increment depending upon the base weight of the scale. If the base weight is lbs. multi-

range, the tare must be in 5 increments (i.e. 5,10,155 ounce). Ask 

your installing dealer if you are not sure.  When setting the PLU 

price to $00.00, set Price Per to LB Open. When setting By Count 

PLU’s with $00.00, set the pieces count to “0” and set Price Per to 

LB Open. The sale price may be higher or lower than the regular 

price. When sending PLU’s via complete file download or by batch, 

if the sale price is greater than zero, this price will be sent to the 

scale. If the sale price equals zero, the regular price is sent to the 

scale. The sale number allows 9 different sale “batch’s” 

for the entire PLU database. This is explained more in 

the Set-Back section. A new PLU must be saved before 

the editing of Ingredients or Nutrition is allowed. Before 

clicking the save button, decide if the batch checkbox is to be checked or not. 

When saving the PLU there are 3 options. “YES: save and add to batch”: this option 

will save the PLU and set the batch flag on. “NO: save only”: this option will save 

the PLU and set the batch flag off. “CANCEL: no 

changes saved”: any changes including the batch 

flag will be ignored.

 Double click on the desired PLU to edit. Make the necessary changes, and then click save. When 

editing, the PLU number cannot be changed but the dept number can. If this PLU belongs in 

another dept, enter the desired number, save the PLU, and then delete the original. Tip: The SL-

9000 can have 4 lines of commodity printed on the label. If only 2 lines are required, by using 

lines 1 and 3, the print will be larger provided the number of characters is less than 25.
