Data in PLU in SAP PoS

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Experts,

First of all, my apologies if I am posting this question in wrong forum. As I could not find a SAP PoS forum, I thought this is my best bet.

I wanted to know what data is stored in a PLU file. I know that material number and price are stored. But, I believe there is more data in it.

Also wanted to request your help on understanding the process of Pricelookup (PLU). When we do this, does the system fetch the data from Xpress Server or does it have local PLU file in the register from which it fetches the data. Whenever I send new files to Xpress server, the same appear to be downloaded into the register after running manger code 414.

Request your help. It is most appreciated.

Warm regards,

S V.

Hello S V,

The content of the PLU file is located at help.sap.com

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_pos23/helpdata/en/be/5234a9eb44494ea0807925211e74c6/frameset.htm

-Open the Technical Product Reference drop-down

-Select the Download File Formats drop-down

-Locate the record you want (full PLU File in this case)

-All of the available fields will be displayed

When you scan a PLU at the register:

-Check the option "Local PLU First" in Register Parameters

-It will check the PLU Table first in the Xpress Server's database

-It will then check for promos and Mix Matches etc.

When you send a PLU apply file down to the Xpress parm directory the following will happen:

-It applies the plu and then moves to txnsave directory

-The registers and backup server look at this txnsave directly at set intervals

-The registers apply that file on the local PLU if enabled

Regards

Angelo
