Item (PLU) Maintenance: Object Tab
The Object table contains additional information for each PLU. When combined with the PLU's item
code and descriptor the Object table information provides a detailed identification for each item in the
system.
NOTE: Remember that some of the settings on the Object tab are also available from the "Quick Tab".
Modifying data on the object tab modifies the same data field if it is located on the quick tab.
This example shows the Item table's "Object" tab.
Category is not compulsory. It can be used to link items for reporting purposes only. This can be
used to associate items that are not in the same sub-department (or have no other association in the
system) to get a special report on item sales. Categories are user defined; you must program the
Category table before assigning items to categories. This field is numeric, up to 6 digits.
Kit: Leave this field blank for normal items. Set this field to create a kit only. A kit is used in some
businesses to track multiple inventory items when the kit product is sold. Note that when the Kit field is
selected, the Cost tab becomes a kit tab to allow you to enter the content items that make up the kit.
Family: Like the Category, the Family field is not compulsory, but allows you to link similar products
for comparison reporting. For example, if all soft drinks are in one sub-department, you may want a
report comparing sales of different colas, or perhaps the most popular size. The Family field is user
defined; enter the numeric Family code, up to 6 digits .
