Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0405909A2] In a method for updating a PLU file in a POS terminal, slips (20,34) having a dedicated format for printing data corresponding to a not-yet-registered article are prepared in advance of retail transactions. When a not-yet-registered article is encountered during a retail transaction, a message is displayed (48) on a display of the POS terminal to inform the operator that the particular article is not registered in the PLU file. The operator then inserts a dedicated slip (20,34) into a print slot of a printer on the POS terminal in order to print (54) article data (such as a message that the article is not-yet-registered, a code number for the article, a date and time for the transaction, and the like) thereon. The dedicated slips (20,34) are handed over to the manager of the store who then updates the PLU file to include information (such as unit price and article name) for any not-yet-registered articles.
