Processing non-plu items(Lottery Sales)

There are a couple of people that frequent this group that do lotto sales, so they may have some different ideas on implementing this. What I would do is create a department specifically for lotto sales so you could separate them from the other items in reports. Then I would create a non-inventory item and set it to 'Must enter price at the POS' . You could separate this a little further by creating different items for different products: scratch offs, daily number, etc. When you redeem a winning ticket you could then enter a negative price for the item, or create a tender for lotto redemption.

Craig is right, we have a lot of clients that do lottery here. I would add just use 'L' for your lottery item - or something like that, Further, all the scratch-offs have barcodes, and you can use that for a PLU AND you can keep inventory for them - a good way to combat shrinkage!
