What Bulk PLU Updating Does:
Streamlines the process of making changes to numerous PLU items simultaneously.
Previously, users needed to modify each PLU item individually, which could be time-consuming if there were many items to update.
With this feature, changes like tax rules, charge codes, and price adjustments can be applied in bulk.
Benefits of Bulk PLU Updating:
Time-Saving: This feature greatly reduces the time required to make vast updates, such as changing VAT rules or charge codes for a large group of PLU items.
Efficiency in VAT Adjustments: When VAT rates change, this tool allows for quick and easy updates to all relevant items.
How Bulk PLU Updating Works:
Within the Back office navigate to PLU setup, PLU items then select PLU batch updating.
Select the charge code than contains the PLUs you want to modify.
Alternatively, you can select the blank option in the drop-down menu to display all PLU items.
Click the Batch Updating button to open the editing screen.
Use the first drop-down menu to choose what you want to change. This will modify the grid view to display the current settings and what they can be changed to.
