Price embedded barcodes are generally used in conjunction with a weighting scale with a built in barcode printer. For example, you go to the deli counter at your supermarket and ask for some fresh cut cheese. They would then weigh the cheese, confirm to you the price for that weight and print the barcode that would be stuck on to the packaging. This can then be scanned at the till.
How is this set-up within CES TS Software?
Here is a break down of your PLU bar code: 0200073000673
02 is the Open price Prefix ( This is Set in back office: Products > Open Price )
020007 is the product number (Create this product number as normal in the back office.) , 3 is the Check digit and 00067 Product price ( This is set in back office Length of price in this case 5: Products > Open Price ). The Check Digit (3) ( Can be removed also by a setting in back office: > System Settings > Sales Mode remove second check digit with open Ean)

How do you set up the Euro system?
To set-up CES to accept Euros as well as the local currency you need to do four things.
1. Setup a tender type for Euro. The default from CES is Tender 10
2. Under the system settings (Sales Mode) you need to enter your "Alternate currency exchange rate".
3. Set your "Alternative currency of tender" number i.e. 10
4. Set your "Alternative currency symbol".
You will then be able to accept the EURO and give change in either the EURO or the local currency.
How do you set up an ex-VAT system?
CES TS Software is built using an Inclusive Vat system as standard. If you want to use an Ex-Vat system you need to change the setting to Ex-Vat under the system options of the set-up menu. If you are using the A4 receipt option or A4 invoice option you also need to re-name certain report formats that can be found in the "c:\touch\reports" directory.
Whether you are running an Inclusive or Exclusive system, CES uses a4_receipt.frt and a4_receipt.frx when printing an A4 receipt and CES uses a4_invoice.frt and a4_invoice.frx when printing an A4 invoice.
If you look in the "c:\touch\reports" directory you will will see a few different variations of the a4_invoice report. For example a4_invoice_ex.frt and a4_invoice_ex.frx is the correct format for an Ex-Vat system. Simply delete the current a4_invoice.frt and a4_invoive.frx files and rename the a4_invoice_ex.frt and a4_invoice_ex.frx to a4_invoice.frt and a4_invoice.frx. If you get in trouble there is a back-up copy of all these files in the "c:\touch\reports\ces standard" directory.
