Subtotal Window – Contains a running total of items, sales, tax, voids, food stamp and WIC amounts. Item Window. – Displays all items purchased including quantity, descriptions and item price.

Security Features The system is designed to provide a high level of security in all areas. The system is able to detect whether the cash drawer is open or closed and will prevent a transaction to begin if opened. Also, the system keeps track of the number of times the cash drawer opens as well as how long it has been open. Password protection can be implemented on functions such as voids, discounts, adding of new items at the register, etc. Each cashier can have a different level of authorization. When a cashier is not authorized to perform a function, management authorization will be needed to complete the transaction. Tender The POS system accepts a number of different types of media collection including check, cash, credit card, debit card, food stamps, WIC, store and vendor coupons, gift certificates and four user defined tenders with programmable currency exchange rates. The POS system offers a Customer Checks database that lists both negative and positive checks. The checks maintenance feature, allows managers to have more control on bad check writers. The amount a check can be written by a single customer can be set under the Check Limit field. Checks can also be set up to endorse and/or print a check. There are four Open Tender keys that are user defined, programmable tenders. These tenders can be defined as with normal tender or with an exchange rate for use in currency conversions.


Coupons The POS software accepts vendor coupons and store coupons and is designed to accept a coupon ONLY if the item has been purchased. If the item has not been purchased, the system will display an error message notifying the cashier. The system contains a coupon file that allows store coupons to be entered into the system and can be configured to only be valid if a certain dollar amount is met. Both store and vendor coupons can be scanned or entered manually. Tax Tables Three TAX tables are available in the application. Both Department and item tax is determined by the status flag (Tax 1, Tax 2, Tax 3) which can be found in the Inventory Price Book under the items record. Safe Drops The system can be set up so that cashiers are prompted to do a safe drop once the amount in their drawer hits a certain amount. This security feature helps maintain the cashier’s drawer from exceeding a certain dollar amount. A Stop screen will appear once the preset amount has been reached. Also, the system will display a dollar bill in the upper right hand corner notifying the cashier that a safe drop needs to be done soon.

Cash Balancing If the POS system is configured for blind cash drawer balancing, the Declare Cash Drawer window will be displayed after the log-off process is complete. The cashier will declare all cash amounts in the cash drawer and other forms of tender. Blind balancing provides a way to compare the amounts that are entered by the cashier with the system amounts and will report on any amounts over or short. When declaring a cash drawer, the cashier will count all media in the cash drawer. Cashier will enter the amount of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and the number of rolls in the cash drawer. Follow this with a count of the various bills and a count of the remaining media that includes food stamps, checks, credit cards, debit cards, WIC, gift certificates, etc.

Training Mode Full training mode capabilities exist within the system. During training mode, the cash drawer will not open and all receipts printed will indicate that the transaction was done in training mode. To enter training mode, the Cashier ID entered at the Log On Screen must be 99 or 98. Log-On With Cash Declaration The POS system when configured for cash declaration will prompt the cashier to enter the Beginning Balance after logging onto the POS.

Mix Match Capabilities The POS offers various mix match capabilities within the system such as buy one get one free, Buy two get one free, as well as various pricing algorithms. The system also features mix pack features that allows an item that has the same UPC code to be sold as a single item or as a pack. For example, soda can be sold as a single can, a six pack, or as a case. When the cashier scans the item, the Mix Pack Screen will pop up showing all three options. The cashier simply enters the corresponding number.

Price Checks/Changes Price checks can be done by using the description look up feature. The cashier would select the Lookup By Description Key and enter the first few letters of the item. The POS will scroll through the inventory file displaying the item description as well as the item number. The cashier would simply highlight the item to view more detailed information about the item including the price. Items can also be looked up by item number. Price changes can be made at the register under management supervision. After the item has been entered the Price Change Window will appear showing the Item number, description, price, Mix Match, Price Group, Department Number, Item Link # and status flags.


Any necessary adjustments can be made from this screen. Once the information is entered the information is sent to the back office and to all registers on the network. Suspend/Resume Transactions The POS has the capability to suspend and resume transactions during a cashiers shift. Multiple transactions can be suspended and resumed simply by pressing the suspend or unsuspend key. If the cashier does not have the authorization to suspend transactions, the system will prompt for Management Authorization. A list of all transactions that have been suspended will be listed along with the reference ID that was entered when the transaction was first suspended after pressing the Unsuspend Key. Adding Items at the POS Items that are not in the inventory file can be added at the register. Under management supervision, the description, department item and price capabilities can be entered into the system. Once the information is entered the information is sent to the back office as well as to all registers on the network.

Menu Feature The POS system is configured with the Menu Key to help facilitate the item entry process. Some examples of Menu Keys are for newspapers or produce. Pressing the Menu Key will bring up the Menu Flip Chart Screen that will display ten items per page.

Touch Screen The Touch Screen Mode of the UpFront POS System is extremely easy to use and setup. UpFront POS Software offers stores the ability to setup the registers using either a keyboard or touch screen. For example, a five lane store may have two registers that are setup to use a touch screen while the remaining registers are using a POS keyboard.

The Menus are completely user defined allowing users to change the color of the button as well as the font. Multi-Levels and Links to other Menu Pages are also available within the Menu Setup Section. The Touch Screen is made up of two main screens: Tender Mode and Sales Mode. Each mode can be customized by changing the font, font size, and button color. Training time to use the register is minimal. Your clerks will be operating the registers and be productive within minutes.

You have the ability to also add new entries, which includes who worked and the date and time worked. The system will report on the total number of hours worked for each Cashier. Cashier Maintenance The cashier maintenance system will allow a manager to add, change, or delete a cashier and any management staff that will be operating the system. Certain functions such as voiding a check can be controlled by a password and each staff member can be given different security levels. If a cashier is not authorized to perform the function, the POS will automatically request management authorization.


Transaction Journal The transaction journal allows a manager to view all the transactions from a cashiers shift. The transaction criteria screen is an electronic journal of all transaction items which have been rung up at the registers. When in the criteria screen, the cashiers ID number must be entered for the journal to display the transactions. All transactions can be displayed by leaving all options blank or to view only one type of transaction like Credit Cards.

Other supporting files such as Departments, Price Groups, Vendors, and Coupons are also maintained within the Price Book module. All registers are automatically updated with changes made in the Inventory Price Book. The Receiving module is accessible through the Inventory Price Book. The receiving module also incorporates a means of maintaining vendor cost control by comparing the cost of the item in the Store Price Book to the vendors invoiced cost. Vendor orders can be generated based on the on hand count which in turn helps maintain inventory costs and levels. Highlights of the Inventory Price Book

Example: Allows you to change the price of 100 Items by just making 1 Input Price Change. Or, put 75 Items On sale by just making 1 change.

• WIC – An alternative form of payment for specialty foods. The WIC program is a special supplemental program for women, children, and infants.

The Tax Rate tables are set up in the Server Set-up. When the item is scanned, the tax rate

will be calculated based on which Tax table you have selected. For example, Tax Table 1 is set at 6%, Tax Table 2 is set at 8%, and Tax Table 3 is set at 2%. If a tax table is not selected the item will not be taxed. If Tax 1 is checked the product will be taxed at 6%

• Tax 2 – Tax rate for item • Tax 3 - Tax rate for item

Inventory File All the items in the inventory file can be viewed by Item Number, Description, Menu Item number, Department, Price Groups, Mix Match Groups, items on sale, or by vendor. Also, the system is designed to find an item by entering the UPC number or Item Description for quick editing. Mix Match Mix-Match groups are a convenient means of selling items at different prices depending upon the quantity purchased by the customer. For example, bags of Candy may be sold at 35 cents a bag or 3 for $1.00 or buy 2 items and get the 3rd item free.

Price Groups Price Groups allows grouping large numbers of items that sell at the same price. The benefits to price grouping include easy price changing. Instead of changing individual item prices, changing one price in a group will affect all items that have been assigned to the same Price Group which could save you a substantial amount of time. For example, you may price all Candy bars under a price group priced at .45 cents. If you need to raise the price of all candy bars to .55 cents, just change the price group price. Mix Pack Pricing The Price Book allows 5 different pricing levels for each item. Price levels 2 through 5 are used for Mix Pack pricing. A good example of a Mix Pack Items would be items that come in multiple quantities per package such as soda or beer. Mix Packs provide the ability for the clerks to sell items by SINGLE, 6 PACKS, 12 PACKS, CASE, etc. This is very useful if a customer breaks out a single can of soda from a carton of 6 or 12. NOTE: When an item has different pricing levels, a mix pack screen will appear when the item is scanned. The clerk can then make the appropriate selection. Promotional Pricing The POS is designed to handle various types of promotions. All promotions can be controlled by entering the beginning and ending sales dates.

• Split Pricing – For example, you can have three items on sale for $1.00. The POS will auto calculate the price for each item.

• Transaction Limits - The system will allow an item to be sold for the sale price ONLY if a certain transaction amount is met. For example, a customer must purchase $10 worth of items in order to receive the sale price of an item. Once the $10 is met, the POS will calculate the sale price for the sale item.

• Must Buy – The must buy feature requires a customer to purchase a certain number of items in order to receive the sale price. For example, a customer must purchases three sale items in order to


receive the sale price. • Quantity Limit – When an item is on sale, a customer can be restricted as to how many items can be purchased. For example,

only 3 sale items can be purchased. The fourth item will be calculated as the retail price, not the sale price.

• Buy 1 Get 1 Free – When a customer purchases the sale item, get another item for free. You have the ability to put the same item as a buy one get one or you can also use another item as the free item.

Item Image Display This feature shows an image of the item on the POS screen as long as the item is on sale. The image assigned to the item as well as the amount saved will be shown on the screen. Departments The system offers two levels of departments, Departments, Sub Departments (Level 1), Sub 2 Departments (Level 2) and Department Groups. Sub Department assignments for level one sub departments and the sub department description are assigned from this menu option. The individual item records are then assigned the appropriate combination of sub department levels which provides for enhanced reporting. Discounts The discount option allows you to maintain a list of transaction discount types on file. For example, if the store offers a 10% discount to senior citizens on Tuesdays, the Discount Type would be SENIOR CITIZENS. Discounts can be set up to be valid on certain days and time periods. When doing a transaction the clerk would press the Transaction Discount Key at the end of the transaction. A discount table which is identical to the lists of discounts will appear. The clerk chooses the proper discount and all discountable items will be discounted. Alternate UPC’s The system will allow up to three different types of UPC’s for an item. This feature will allow the second UPC to be entered into the item’s record and eliminates the need for the item to be reentered into the system. For example, an item may have a different UPC during a Holiday promotion. Vendor File Use the vendor file to keep a list of Vendors (up to three vendors can be listed for an item) from which you purchase your store items. The vendors file is used when running the inventory control/receiving system and when adding items in the inventory control. Age/Time Restrictions Items that have an age or time restriction can be controlled by entering the age and/or times the product can be sold into the POS which ensures legal compliance. Coupons The coupon file allows you to build and maintain a list of store coupons, double coupons, and vendor coupons which you can use to assign to your own coupon items or against a vendor purchase. Double store and vendor coupons can be set up to only apply on certain days after a coupon is scanned, the system will search the transaction to match the coupon with a qualifying Item for validation. If the cashier voids the item which has the coupon assigned, the system will automatically determine if the coupon can be re-assigned to another qualifying Item. Multiple quantity value codes are automatically handled by the system. For example, a coupon which requires a purchase of Qty 3 on an item is automatically handled regardless if the cashier uses the quantity key to ring up the items. UPC 2 Weighted Items This feature allows a weighted item to be set up three different ways.


Accept Weighted Items Register will recognize Bar Codes starting with a 2 which will designate the item as a weighted item. The Register will determine the price of the item by the digits in the Bar Code. Weighted w/ Inv Lkup Register will do a lookup of the item in the PLU Lookup file. If the item is located, the Register will determine the weight by the Price per Lb and multiplying that by the Price of the Weighted Item. No Weighted Items If a Bar Code is scanned with a leading '2', the Register will treat the Code as a normal item SKU.

Example: The UPC 2 Code of '21234567890' is scanned into the Point of Sale. If the Inventory Lookup Option is selected, the Point of Sale will take the first 6 digits of the UPC 2 code and will add 4 0's to do the lookup. (2123450000). The Price of the Item is determined by either the last 4 or 5 digits depending upon the option for the (Use 2nd Check Sum Digit) option. If this option is check marked, the Register will only take the last 4 digits of the UPC 2 code to determine the price. In the example above, the price of the item is $78.90. If the Use 2nd Check Sum Digit option is NOT checked, the Register will use the last 5 digits of the UPC 2 code to determine the price. In the example above, the price of the item would be $678.90.

Receiving The receiving module allows for inventory control, direct cost and retail price management. Also, the system keeps an up to date on hand count of items that are sold. When an item is scanned at the POS, the on hand count is decremented. Inventory Reordering A reordering report will be generated based on vendor, department, or sub department. The report will show the item, the on hand count, how many items sold over a four week period and the minimum and maximum reorder numbers.

Suggested Ordering When running a suggested order, if the level of the items in stock falls below the reorder minimum it will trigger a reorder that will not exceed the reorder maximum. Both the reorder maximum and minimum can be found on the Update Item screen under the tab Vendor/Restrictions. For example: For item #54628265 the on-hand count is 8, the reorder min is set at 10, and the reorder max is set at 20. A reorder is done because the on-hand count is below the reorder min. The suggested reorder would be 12 (20 (reorder max) – 8 (on-hand)). For item #01705809 the on-hand count is 14, the reorder min is set at 10, the reorder max is set at 20. The system will not place an order because the on-hand count is greater than the reorder min. Customer Display/Receipt Message The display at the top of the screen can have up to four different messages scheduled to be displayed at different dates. For example, from December 1 to December 25, the display can read “Merry Christmas” and then on December 26 the display can automatically be changed to “Happy New Year” if entered into the POS. The receipt message can also be changed in the same way.
