Bulk PLU Updating

You can bulk-update PLU items in a few simple steps.

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.
