This POS option in Options Configuration is useful if you have the option "Display Cost on Inquiry" or "Display Running GP%" set to Y, but want to disguise this information from the customer. When this option is set to N, the Cost or GP% that shows when you display the item is without a label, and the decimal point is replaced with the first digit of the item's department code.
For example, an item in department 12 has a cost of 1.49 and GP% of 66.81. If this option is set to N, 11409/66181 displays. If this option is set to Y, C1.490/66.81 displays.
