Sort/Search Database 
 

There are six ways to sort the database; the default sort order is 
DEPTPLU. Anytime Scale View is opened, the database will be 
sorted and displayed by DEPTPLU. The first button sorts by either 
Department Number or PLU Number. When sorting by Dept, the 
PLU numbers might not be listed in numerical order and when 
sorting by PLU the Department numbers might not be in 
numerical order. The second button sorts the database by either 
DEPTPLU or DEPTUPC. The DEPTPLU sorts the database by 

the Department number first and then by PLU number within that Department. The DEPTUPC 
sorts the database by the Department number first and then the UPC number within that 
Department. The third button sorts the database by either DEPTCOM1 or DEPTBATCH. The 
DEPTCOM1 will sort the database by the Department number first and then alphabetically sorts 
that Department by the first line of the PLU’s commodity name. The DEPTBATCH sorts the 
database by the Department number and then by the PLU Batch flag. 

 
There is a status description located below these sort buttons that 
displays the current sort method selection. As different sort 
options are selected this description will change accordingly. 
 

 
To search the database for a specific PLU, enter the PLU Number in the 
text box (no enter key required). The database will be searched after 

every number entered. The PLU number that is less than or equal to the number entered will be 
highlighted. Valid number entries in this search field are 1 through 999999. 
 
 
Sending Batches 
 

In Scale View the term “batch” refers to any record in the 
database that has its “batch” checkbox checked. There are 
“batch” checkboxes for PLU’s, Ingredients and Nutrition 
Information. Anytime you press the Save button when you Add or 

Edit a PLU, Ingredient or Nutrition item you are given the option of saving the item to the 
database and adding it to an appropriate “batch” type for that item. If you select the YES option 
when saving an item it will have its “batch” flag set and will be added to that department’s 
current batch for that type of item. There is another option to set the “batch” flag for an item. 
This option is available in the maintenance screen for all the item types. You can check the 
“batch” checkbox in the maintenance screen for an item and then select the NO option when 
you are saving that item and it will have its “batch” flag set. (The normal procedure when adding 
or editing an item would be to save it and select the YES option which would automatically set 
the “batch” flag but if the only change desired is to add the item to a batch you could use this 
method.) In the PLU table the “batch” status of a PLU will show a “1” in the “batch” column. 
There are no indications for the status of an Ingredient batch or Nutrition type batch in the PLU 
table. The only method of determining and viewing Ingredient and Nutrition batches is by using 
the Report function.
