Department: Taxes
The Configurator provides four levels of hierarchy within which PLU items can be classified. In descending order of breadth, these levels are: category, group, department, and user flag.
The third level hierarchy, the department level is used to group together products with similar features or of a common utility making it easier to administer promotions or for reporting and classification purposes. Although the department is the third level of product classification, you are not required to assign a department to a group or a category if you do not need to. However, if you do need a group or category, you must set those up first.

Note
Itemizers are specific options that are tagged to certain PLU items to prevent them from being sold when specific tenders are used for payment (for example, food stamps.) Selected PLU items are assigned an Itemizer ID, which is then also assigned to the controlled tender item in the tender file. The itemized tender item can then only be used to settle the total of itemized products only.
