Your sales list shows bins, not lures
When loose lures are rung up on the price group's barcode, the sales list in your POS system (till) becomes a list of bins, not lures. LureScan changes that one scan at a time.
One loose lure on the counter. Which one just sold?
A customer puts one loose lure on the counter. It came from a bin where every lure shares one barcode. Scan that lure, and LureScan shows which lure it is, its price and the barcode your POS system (till) already has.
One bin, one barcode: loose lures and bobbers share the same problem
Loose lures and bobbers have no barcode of their own, so every one in a bin shares one barcode in the POS system (till). Scan it at the counter, and you get its price and the barcode your POS system already has.
The bestseller you can't see
Loose lures in a price group share one price and one barcode, so the POS system (till) sees the bin, never the lure. Scan each lure at the counter, and LureScan shows you which one sold.
I know what my lures cost. Do you?
"I know what my lures cost." I believe you know what the bin costs.
You priced this once. Remember?
At some point, someone put a price on this lure. Maybe it was you.
Simple for the till. Not for you.
"Price groups keep things simple." For the POS system (till), they do.
One barcode. Which lure?
The lures in the bin share one barcode. So which lure is it?
You can't tell these apart
"I can tell my lures apart just by looking." Maybe you can. Every time?
Your new staff don't know this one
"My staff know every lure in the shop." The old hands, maybe.
Who priced this? The bin?
"My price is my price." Fair enough. So I ask where it came from.
Close enough isn't a price
"It's in the bin, so it's the bin price." I get why. It's quick.
Do you know what this lure costs?
I don't think you do. Not this one, or any loose lure in your bins.
The till knows the bin sold, not which lure
Every loose lure in a bin shares one barcode in the till. So the till knows the bin sold, but not which lure. Scan the lure, and you get its price and the barcode your till already has.
Loose lures in price groups: the bestseller you can't see
Loose lures sit in price groups. Every lure in a group shares one price and one barcode, so the till sees the group, never the lure. LureScan identifies the exact lure at the scan.
