The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus such as an electronic cash register having a receipt issuing function and a POS (point of sale information management) terminal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, merchandise sales registration data processing devices such as electronic cash registers and POS terminals are printers that issue customer receipts by printing detailed data such as the price and total price of each merchandise registered as a transaction on a receipt sheet It has. When the customer pays for the total amount, the customer receipt is issued.
[0003]
In the past, most of the sequential printing methods for printing data such as product prices on receipt paper by driving a printer for each product sales registration. However, recently, printers are capable of high-speed printing, so the data of each product registered for sale as one transaction is stored and held in a buffer. After the payment is completed, the printer is driven to store the data stored in the buffer. A batch printing system that prints on receipt paper and issues a receipt is becoming mainstream.
[0004]
By the way, there are some shops that accept credit in addition to cash as a payment method for the product price. Therefore, for this type of store, a merchandise sales registration data processing device has been developed and put into practical use, which has a function of accepting and processing credit payments and printing and issuing a receipt equivalent to a credit slip. Yes.
This merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus having a payment acceptance processing function by credit is a host capable of data communication with a host computer of a credit card company in addition to an ordinary merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus having a payment acceptance processing function by cash. An interface and a card reader for reading credit card data are provided. The keyboard is provided with a credit key for declaring payment by credit, a key for selecting a handling category such as installment payment, bonus lump sum payment, and the like.
[0005]
And after registering all the products to be sold and registered as one transaction, when credit card payment is declared by entering the credit key, the credit card data is read by the card reader and the payment method such as lump sum payment, installment payment, etc. Accept. Then, when these data are input, the payment process by credit is accepted, and the host computer of the relevant credit card company is inquired for the approval of settlement via the host interface. When the approval response is received, the printer is driven. The transaction data and credit-related data are repeatedly printed on the receipt sheet, and a customer receipt receipt and three types of store receipts for accounting, accounting, and sales floor are issued as credit slips. there were.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, three types of store receipts issued as credit slips for store stores have been temporarily stored by the cashier, for example, by binding the upper end of the overlap, and submitted to the accountant after closing.
However, each store receipt has the same heading for the accounting receipt, accounting and sales floor receipt, and the printed contents are almost the same, and the length of the receipts is the same. It was not possible to easily determine whether there were three types, one for sales, one for counting, and one for sales counters.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention can easily determine whether or not all the necessary types of store receipts are available when issuing multiple types of store receipts for one transaction. An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus capable of reducing the burden.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, in a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus that prints detailed data of one transaction on which a customer-purchased merchandise has been registered on a receipt sheet by using a printer and issues a customer receipt, the printer prints the customer receipt on a receipt copy. Storage means for storing detailed data of one transaction, store copy receipt issuing means for printing detailed data of one transaction stored in the storage means on a receipt sheet by a printer and issuing a plurality of store copy receipts, and the store The counter includes a counting unit that counts the number of issued store receipts by the receipt issuing unit, and a receipt length control unit that changes the length of the corresponding store receipt according to the count by the counting unit.
With such a configuration, the receipt lengths of multiple types of store receipts issued for one transaction are different, so each type of store receipt is overlaid from top to bottom, for example with the top edge aligned. It is possible to easily determine whether or not all the necessary types of store receipts are available.
[0009]
According to the present invention, in addition to the above configuration, identification data printing means for printing data for identifying the type of the store receipt is provided at the lower end of each store receipt issued by the store receipt issuing means.
By providing this identification data printing means, if the upper end of each type of store receipt is aligned in the short order, the type identification data printed on the lower end of each store receipt can be confirmed at a glance. It is possible to more easily determine whether or not all store receipts are available.
[0010]

A business mode in which the sales data file is cleared after printing on receipt paper by the printer 16 as a settlement report. “Setting” is a business mode in which data necessary for executing various business operations is set in the internal memory in advance. .
[0015]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a control circuit configuration of such an electronic cash register. As shown in the figure, this electronic cash register includes a CPU (central processing unit) 31 as a control unit body. In addition, a ROM (read only memory) 32 that stores in advance fixed data such as a program executed by the CPU 31, a product data file in which product data such as unit price and product name are preset corresponding to each product-specific PLU code, A random access memory (RAM) 33 that forms various memory areas such as a sales data file for collecting and storing sales data of each registered product, a clock circuit 34 that measures the date and time, and a credit card issuing company connected to the line A host interface 35 that controls transmission / reception of data to / from the host computer and a signal from the mode switch 13 are input, and an opening drive signal is output to a drawer opening device 15 a that opens the drawer 15 under the control of the CPU 31. I / O port 36 for controlling and entering the keyboard 11 A keyboard controller 37 that captures key signals of the operated keys, a display controller 38 that controls the display 12 to display display data, and a printer controller that controls the printer 16 and prints print data on receipt paper and journal paper 39, and a card reader controller 40 for controlling the card reader 14 and taking in credit card data read by the card reader 14 are mounted.
The CPU 31, ROM 32, RAM 33, clock circuit 34, host interface 35, I / O port 36 and controllers 37, 38, 39, 40 are connected by a bus line 41 such as an address bus or a data bus. .
[0016]
The electronic cash register includes, in the RAM 33, a subtotal memory 51 for storing the total sales amount of products registered as one transaction, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the product data file and the sales data file. Receipt buffer 52 that stores detailed print data and total print data of products registered for sale as one transaction for one transaction, and is set at the start of registration of products sold as one transaction, and is being reset after registration is closed A flag memory 53 for a flag, a credit buffer 54 for storing credit payment data when a payment for a product registered for sale as a transaction is processed with credits, and a transaction number counter 55 for counting the number N of transactions are formed.
Further, an issue number counter 56 as a counting means for counting the number X of issued store receipts issued when the payment for the product registered for sale as a transaction is processed with credits, and the count value of the issue number counter 56 A data table 57 in which data for identifying the type of store receipt is set and stored in advance is formed. In this embodiment, the first store receipt is used for accounting and its type identification data is “A vote”, and the second store receipt is used for accounting and the type identification data is “B vote”. The third store receipt is used as a sales floor copy, and its type identification data is “C form”.
[0017]
Thus, the electronic cash register constitutes a program so that the CPU 31 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 in the “registration” mode.
That is, when the CPU 31 detects that the product sales registration has been performed by the operation input of the product registration key of the numeric key 21, the department key 22, the multiplication key 23, and the PLU key 24 as ST (step) 1, Since it is the first sale registration in the transaction, the registration flag F in the flag memory 53 is set, and the subtotal memory 51, the receipt buffer 52, and the credit buffer 54 are cleared. Further, the count value N of the transaction number counter 55 is incremented by one.
[0018]
Next, the CPU 31 registers the sales points and sales amounts of the products registered for sale in ST2 in the sales data file of the RAM 33. In ST3, the sales amount is added to the data A in the subtotal memory 51. Further, as ST4, the detailed print data including the PLU code, the product name, the unit price, the number of sales points, the sales amount, etc. of the sales registration product is edited, and the detailed print data is stored in the receipt buffer 52 in the registration order. In ST5, the display unit 12 displays the name of the registered product, the unit price, the number of sales, the sales price, and the like.
[0019]
Next, the CPU 31 determines whether the merchandise sales registration by the merchandise registration key has been performed again in ST6 or whether the subtotal key 24 has been input in ST7. When it is detected that the merchandise sales registration has been performed again, the processing of ST2 to ST5 is executed in order because it is the second and subsequent sales registration of one transaction.
On the other hand, when the input of the subtotal key 24 is detected, since the subtotal output of each commodity registered for sale as one transaction is instructed, the data A in the subtotal memory 51 is called as the subtotal amount in ST8. Then, multiplying this subtotal amount by a preset tax rate (eg, 3%) to calculate the external tax amount, and adding this external tax amount to the subtotal amount to calculate the transaction total amount. Is displayed on the display 12.
[0020]
Next, the CPU 31 determines whether the merchandise sales registration by the merchandise registration key is performed again in ST10, or whether the closing key is input in ST11. When it is detected that the merchandise sales registration has been performed again, the processing of ST2 to ST5 is executed in order because it is the second and subsequent sales registration of one transaction.
On the other hand, when the input of the closing key is detected, since the end of merchandise sales registration for one transaction is declared, the total detailed print data including the subtotal amount, the external tax amount, and the total transaction amount is edited as ST12. The total detailed print data is stored next to the detailed print data of the commodity registered at the end of the receipt buffer 52.
[0021]
Next, the CPU 31 determines the type of the input closing key as ST13. Here, in the case of the credit key 27, since credit is instructed as a payment method for the commodity price in this transaction, a credit payment acceptance process specifically shown in FIG. 6 is executed.
[0022]
That is, when the credit payment acceptance process is started, the CPU 31 first reads the card data (credit card company code, membership number, expiration date, etc.) of the credit card with the card reader 14 as ST21, and based on this card data, the credit card Determine effectiveness. And since the credit company code is a company code of a credit card company that can be handled at the store or the expiration date has not expired, when ST22 confirms that there is validity, it waits for input of a credit payment method as ST23 To do. If a payment method is input by any key operation input of each payment method selection key 29, the payment method data and transaction total amount data together with the card data and the corresponding credit card via the host interface 35 as ST24. Send to the company's host computer to inquire about payment approval. As a result, if the approval response is received as ST25, the credit payment statement print data is edited based on the card data, the payment method data, the response data from the host computer, etc., and stored in the credit buffer 54.
If it is determined in ST22 that the card is invalid or an approval response cannot be received within a predetermined time in ST25, the payment acceptance by credit is regarded as an error. In this case, payment by other methods such as cash is accepted.
[0023]
Next, the CPU 31 resets the count value X of the issued number counter 56 to “0” in ST27. Also, as ST28, the customer receipt receipt header data (heading “credit receipt purchase slip, customer receipt”, date, transaction number N of transaction counter 55), product description print data and total print data in the receipt buffer 52, The credit payment details print data in the credit buffer 54 are sequentially sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper. Finally, if footer data (responsible person number, responsible person name, time) and logo data [calculation form] are sent and printed on receipt paper and journal paper, a cut command is sent and the receipt paper is footed. A customer receipt is issued by cutting between data and logo data.
[0024]
Next, the CPU 31 counts up the count value X of the issued number counter 56 by 1 in ST29 (counting means). Thereafter, in ST30, it is determined whether or not the count value X of the issued number counter 56 exceeds the number “3” of issued store receipts. In this case, since the count value X is “1”, the process proceeds to ST31.
[0025]
Subsequently, X = the first receipt of the store receipt, that is, the header data of the receipt for the receipt of the accounting receipt (heading “credit receipt purchase slip, accounting receipt”, date, number of transactions N of the transaction counter 55), the receipt buffer The merchandise details print data and total print data in 52 and the credit payment details print data in the credit buffer 54 are sequentially sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper. Next, after sending footer data (responsible person number, responsible person name, time) and printing on receipt paper and journal paper, as ST32, X line, that is, one line feed command is sent to the printer 16 to receive. The paper is fed by one line (receipt length control means). Thereafter, the type identification data “A vote” corresponding to the count value X = 1 is read from the data table 57 as ST33, and this type identification data “A vote” is sent to the printer 16 as ST34 to the receipt paper and journal paper. After printing, a cut command is sent and the receipt sheet is cut between the type identification data and the logo data to print and issue a store receipt for accounting receipt (store receipt issuing means).
[0026]
Thereafter, returning to ST29, the count value X of the issued number counter 56 is incremented by one. Also in this case, since the count value X (= 2) does not exceed the number of issued store receipts “3”, the process proceeds to ST31.
The receipt buffer 52 follows the X = second store receipt, that is, the header data of the record store receipt (heading “credit receipt purchase slip, for record”, date, transaction number N in the transaction counter 55). The merchandise item print data and total print data and the credit payment statement print data in the credit buffer 54 are sequentially sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper. Next, after footer data (responsible person number, responsible person name, time) is sent and printed on receipt paper and journal paper, a feed command of X lines, that is, two lines, is sent to the printer 16 as ST32 and a receipt is sent. Feed two lines of paper. Thereafter, the type identification data “B vote” corresponding to the count value X = 2 is read from the data table 57 as ST33, and this type identification data “B vote” is sent to the printer 16 as ST34 to the receipt paper and journal paper. After printing, a cut command is sent and the receipt sheet is cut between the type identification data and the logo data to print and issue a record store receipt.
[0027]
Thereafter, returning to ST29, the count value X of the issued number counter 56 is incremented by one. Also in this case, since the count value X (= 3) does not exceed the number of issued store receipts “3”, the process proceeds to ST31.
Then, X = the receipt of the third store receipt, that is, the header data of the store receipt for the store receipt (heading “credit reception purchase slip, store receipt”, date, transaction number N of the transaction counter 55), the receipt buffer The merchandise details print data and total print data in 52 and the credit payment details print data in the credit buffer 54 are sequentially sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper. Next, after sending footer data (responsible person number, responsible person name, time) and printing on receipt paper and journal paper, the feed command of X line, that is, 3 lines, is sent to the printer 16 as ST32 and the receipt is sent. Feed 3 lines of paper. After that, the type identification data “C vote” corresponding to the count value X = 3 is read from the data table 57 as ST33, and this type identification data “C vote” is sent to the printer 16 as ST34 to the receipt paper and journal paper. After printing, a cut command is sent and the receipt sheet is cut between the type identification data and the logo data to print and issue a store receipt for the store.
[0028]
Thereafter, returning to ST29, the count value X of the issued number counter 56 is incremented by one. This time, the count value X becomes “4” and the number of issued store receipts exceeds “3”, so the process proceeds to ST35. If the registration flag in the flag memory 53 is reset, the credit payment acceptance process is terminated.
[0029]
In the electronic cash register according to the present embodiment configured as described above, when payment for a credit is instructed by inputting the credit key 27 after sales registration of a product purchased by one customer, a credit payment acceptance process is executed. To do. As a result, when payment by credit is approved, three store receipts are issued following the customer receipt receipt in which the details of the purchased product and the total data thereof are printed followed by the credit payment statement data.
[0030]
An example of printing on receipt paper in this case is shown in FIG. First, at the leading edge of the receipt paper, a logo mark [calculation form] is printed as a stamp at the time of receipt cut in the immediately preceding transaction (number of transactions N = 123455).
In this state, if a customer who has purchased 1 garment with a unit price of 50000 yen and 1 coat with a unit price of 20000 yen is requested and approved for payment with a one-time credit, the section A1 is first printed. After being cut at the cutting line L1, a customer receipt R1 is issued. Next, the section indicated by the area A2 is printed, cut along the cutting line L2, and an accounting copy store receipt R2 is issued. Next, the section indicated by the area A3 is printed, cut along the cutting line L3, and a record store receipt R3 is issued. Finally, the section indicated by the area A4 is printed, cut along the cutting line L4, and a store copy receipt R4 for the sales floor copy is issued.
[0031]
Here, when the receipts R2, R3, R4 for each store copy are compared, after the footer data is printed, the receipt R2 receipt for the account copy feeds one line and prints the type identification data “A vote” for the account record. The record store receipt R3 feeds two lines and prints the type identification data “B” for recording, and the store record receipt R4 feeds three lines and types identification data “ Since the “C form” is printed, the receipt length is increased by one line in order of the receipt receipt R2, the receipt receipt R3 for the accounting store, and the receipt receipt R4 for the store receipt.
[0032]
Therefore, when the receipts for store receipts R2, R3, R4 are overlapped from the top in the order of receipts for store receipts R2, receipts for store receipts R3, receipts for store receipts for store receipts R4, the top ends are aligned. As shown in FIG. 8, the type identification data “A vote”, “B vote”, and “C vote” of each store receipt R2, R3, R4 can be confirmed. As a result, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the necessary types of store receipts R2, R3, and R4 are all available, thereby reducing the burden on the person in charge of handling store receipts.
[0033]
In addition, since the unique type identification data “A vote”, “B vote”, and “C vote” are printed on each store receipt R2, R3, R4, the store receipts R2, R3, R4 are printed. Easy to classify. Moreover, since the transaction number of each store receipt R2, R3, R4 is made common with the transaction number of the corresponding customer receipt receipt R1, there is also an advantage that the receipt can be easily verified.
[0034]
Also, the type identification data “A vote”, “B vote”, and “C vote” for each store receipt R2, R3, R4 are printed only on the receipt paper and not on the journal paper. It can also save paper.
[0035]
In the above embodiment, the type identification data “A vote”, “B vote”, and “C vote” are printed on the lower ends of the receipts R2, R3, R4 for each store. Even if the “A”, “B”, and “C” are not printed, the receipt length of each store receipt R2, R3, R4 is different for each line. If, for example, the upper ends are aligned in the short order from the top, it is possible to easily determine whether or not all necessary types of store receipts are available.
[0036]
In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the electronic cash register that prints and issues the three receipts R2, R3, and R4 for the store copy in the credit payment acceptance process is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. This is applicable to all items that issue a plurality of store receipts. In this case, the number of issued cards is not particularly limited, and the content of the type identification data is not limited.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the receipt lengths of the plurality of types of store receipts issued for one transaction are different, the upper end or the lower end of each store receipt is aligned. Therefore, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the necessary types of store receipts are available, and to provide a product sales registration data processing device that can reduce the burden on the person handling the store receipts. .
[0038]
Further, according to the invention described in claim 2, since the data for identifying the type of the store receipt is printed on the lower end portion of each store receipt, the type of the required type is obtained by aligning the upper ends of the store receipts. It is possible to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus that can more easily determine whether or not all store receipts are available, and that can further reduce the burden on a person in charge of handling store receipts.
