    Note: Staff IDs need to be set up for each staff member. This is done through the LOTS Main Menu ‘Tools’> ‘Utilities’> ‘Staff Utilities’ >‘Modify Staff’.

  4. At this point you may now key in any OTC items using one of the following methods:
    • Scanning a product (if a barcode exists) is the most efficient method.
    • Typing the product PDE or PLU number into the ‘Stock Item’ field.
    • Typing in part of the product description in the ‘Stock Item’ field, press the [Enter] key and select the appropriate product from the list presented.
    • Press an appropriate ‘Hot Key’ if set up (refer to Hot Keys in the ‘Stock Card’ section).
