5 Tax Programming

If you program the VAT/tax, the cash register can calculate the sales tax. In the VAT system, the tax is included in the price you enter in the register, and the tax amount is calculated when tendered according to the VAT rate programmed. In the tax system, the tax is calculated when tendered according to the tax rate programmed, and added to the price. The cash register can provide totally 6 kinds of VAT/tax systems (automatic VAT1-4, automatic tax 1-4, manual VAT 1-4, manual VAT 1, manual tax 1-4, and automatic VAT1 and automatic tax 2-4 systems) and 4 kinds of rates. By default, the cash register is pre-programmed as automatic VAT1-4 system.

When you program tax rate(s) and taxable status for each department (by default, VAT1/tax1 is set to taxable.), tax will be automatically added to sales of items assigned to the department according to the programmed tax status for the department and the corresponding tax rate(s).

For details of the tax systems, refer to "Computation of VAT (Value Added Tax)/tax" section on page 37. To change the tax system, please refer to "Other programming" of "Various Function Selection Programming 1" section (Job code 69) on page 65.

6 Computation of VAT (Value Added Tax)/tax

VAT/ tax system

The cash register may be programmed for the following six VAT/tax systems. The cash register is preprogrammed as automatic VAT 1-4 system.

Automatic VAT 1-4 system (Automatic operation method using programmed percentages)

This system, at settlement, calculates VAT for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals by using the corresponding programmed percentages.

Automatic tax 1-4 system (Automatic operation method using programmed percentages)

This system, at settlement, calculates taxes for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals by using the corresponding programmed percentages, and also adds the calculated taxes to those subtotals, respectively.

Manual VAT 1-4 system (Manual entry method using programmed percentages)

SHARP XE-A203 - Manual VAT 1-4 system (Manual entry method using programmed percentages) - 1

This system provides the VAT calculation for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals. This calculation is performed using the corresponding programmed percentages when the VAT key is pressed just after the #/TM/ST key.

Manual VAT 1 system (Manual entry method for subtotals that uses VAT 1 preset percentages)

SHARP XE-A203 - Manual VAT 1 system (Manual entry method for subtotals that uses VAT 1 preset percentages) - 1

This system enables the VAT calculation for the then subtotal. This calculation is performed using the VAT 1 preset percentages when the VAT key is pressed just after the #/TM/ST key. For this system, the keyed-in tax rate can be used.

Manual tax 1-4 system (Manual entry method using preset percentages)

SHARP XE-A203 - Manual tax 1-4 system (Manual entry method using preset percentages) - 1

This system provides the tax calculation for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals. This calculation is performed using the corresponding programmed percentages when the VAT key is pressed just after the #/TM/ST key.

After this calculation, you must finalize the transaction.

Automatic VAT 1 and automatic tax 2-4 system

This system enables the calculation in the combination with automatic VAT 1 and automatic tax 2 through 4. The combination can be any of VAT1 corresponding to taxable 1 and any of tax 2 through 4 corresponding to taxable 2 through taxable 4 for each item. The tax amount is calculated automatically with the percentages previously programmed for these taxes.

SHARP XE-A203 - Automatic VAT 1 and automatic tax 2-4 system - 1

  • The tax status of PLU/subdepartment depends on the tax status of the department which the PLU/subdepartment belongs to.
  • VAT/tax assignment symbol can be printed at the fixed right position near the amount on the receipt as follows:

Action when EJ memory area is full

  • By default, when the memory for EJ becomes nearly full, the cash register shows "EJ NEAR FULL", and the cash register keeps storing new data while erasing the oldest data. When "0" is selected, the cash register will no longer show EJ memory nearly full message. When "2" is selected, the cash register shows EJ memory nearly full message and when the memory is totally full, the cash register locks the sales/data entry with a display of the memory full message "EJ DATA FULL". You must issue an EJ report (Z1 report) at this time.

EURO MIGRATION FUNCTION

Note

  • EURO programming described in this section are for users in the countries which will join to the members of the European Currency Union, not for the users in the countries already have joined the Union.

Your register can be modified to correspond with each period set for the introduction of EURO, and in your register each currency is treated as shown on the table below depending on which period you are in. Basically your register can be automatically modified to correspond to the introduction of EURO by executing automatic EURO modification operation shown below in the X2/Z2 mode. However, there are several options you must set depending on your needs. So, please carefully conduct necessary settings.

How currencies are treated in your register

    2: When you perform from EURO status 1 or 2, "space" is set.

IMPORTANT

  • Conversion of the preset unit prices of departments and PLUs

Note that the conversion rate of the preset rate of the key is applied for the conversion, and the method is set to "division". When the conversion is performed, the message "PRICE CONVERTED" will be printed on the #800 report.

  • After the execution of the procedure with “A=1”, treat EURO as foreign currency using the exchange key () with the preset rate entry. Set the EURO conversion rate as the currency exchange rate for the exchange key.
  • After the execution of the procedure with "A=2", treat EURO as domestic currency, and national currency as foreign currency using the exchange key ([EX]) with the preset rate entry. Set the EURO conversion rate as the currency exchange rate for the exchange key.
  • As for the percent rate for %1 , %2 and , the automatic conversion is not made. So, when your domestic currency becomes EURO, you must change these settings so that they are base on EURO currency.

Note

You can manually make these settings. For programming details, please refer to "EURO Programming" section.

Checking the current EURO status

You can check the EURO status currently set on the cash register. Set the manager key (MA) to the X2/Z2 position, and perform the following sequence. The current EURO status will be printed on the receipt/journal.

SHARP XE-A203 - Checking the current EURO status - 1

SHARP XE-A203 - Checking the current EURO status - 2

■ Optional Programming for the Introduction of EURO

Some programming relating with the function of exchange key (EX) cannot be changed automatically with the execution of modification operation described in the previous section. After the execution on each period, conduct the following programming depending on your needs.

Programming for Exchange Key (EX)

Currency exchange rate

For period 1 and period 2, set the EURO conversion rate.

For programming details, refer to "Programming for " on page 51.

Exchange rate entry selection

When you treat EURO currency in the exchange key, you must apply preset rate entry. So, make enable for preset rate entry for period 1 and period 2. For programming details, refer to "Programming for [EX]" on page 51.

Cheque/credit operation

For period 1 and period 2, enable cheque/credit operation when tendering in foreign currency so that you can treat cheque and credit for EURO currency and national currency. For programming details, refer to "EURO system settings" on page 69.

Setting the date and time when the automatic modification operation for EURO should be executed Selection of compulsory/non-compulsory of execution of the automatic modification operation for EURO

You can program the scheduled date and time to execute the automatic EURO modification operation .

From ten days before the preset date, the remaining days are printed at the bottom of the daily full resetting (Z1) report as follows.

SHARP XE-A203 - Setting the date and time when the automatic modification operation for EURO should be executed Selection of compulsory/non-compulsory of execution of the automatic modification operation for EURO - 1

When the above-mentioned preset date and time has come, and also when you start an entry in the REG/MGR mode, the error message “EURO CHANGE” is displayed. You cannot make any operation in the REG/MGR mode until you execute the automatic modification operation for EURO (job #800) in the X2/Z2 mode.

You can program so that you can make entries in the REG/MGR mode even when the error message is displayed.

Date and time setting will be reset after the execution of the automatic modification operation and you can program again the date and time for the next automatic modification operation.

1 In Case of Power Failure

When power is lost, the machine retains its memory contents and all information on sales entries.

  • When power failure is encountered in register idle state or during an entry, the machine returns to normal operation after power recovery.
  • When power failure is encountered during a printing cycle, the register prints "===" and then carries out the correct printing procedure after power recovery. (See the sample print.)

2 In Case of Printer Error

If the printer runs out of paper, the printer will stall, and “PAPER EMPTY” will appear on the display. Key entries will not be accepted. Refer to section 5 in this chapter, install a new roll, then press the key. The printer will print the power failure symbol and resume printing.

If the print roller arm comes up, the printer stalls, "HEAD UP" will appear on the display. Key entries will not be accepted. Push down the arm until it is securely locked, then press the key. The printer will print the power failure symbol and resume printing.

3 Cautions in Handling the Printer and Recording Paper
