Using Option [4.1] Item Database (with Query), you can search for all the items with PLU numbers in a certain range. The resulting list of items can be printed as a report, saved or exported as a CoPOS list to be used in other options in CoPOS, or exported as an Excel spreadsheet. For this example, we will find all the items with PLU numbers from 6000 to 9999.
This is also a great method for looking for PLU numbers that are “available” to be used for new products. Often stores will print this report to have a list of Produce items and their PLUs for cashiers and for produce managers to find available PLU numbers to create new produce items in the POS.
