When pending is set to yes, a label will be produced when the SEL Pending report is run (will not be available unless SEL requested as a feature to the myAPPetite Support Team).

 

Unit: This is the “cost per” that will appear on the SEL, for example, £1.00 per Ltr. Additional units can be added by editing the Language.def file in the skin folder, if this is done, please save only the alterations you have made in a customlanguage.def file (will not be available unless SEL requested as a feature to the myAPPetite Support Team).
 

Quantity Per Unit: Enter the conversion factor for the unit being used. This tells the tills software the relationship between the quantity of each item that is sold compared to the unit quantity that is shown on the shelf edge label. For example, a can of cola sold in quantities of 250ml but shown on the SEL with a unit of 1 litre would have 0.25 in here (will not be available unless SEL requested as a feature to the myAPPetite Support Team).
