Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily detect and correct the error of price at the time point of sale by providing an output means for an operator to judge whether the price zone of merchandise is high or low and a means for inputting the correct price when the operator judges the error. CONSTITUTION: When the bar code displayed on a commodity is inputted to a POS main body 1 by a reader 2, a price information retrieving part 11 reads the correspondent price out of a price information storage device 3 and applies it to a price zone retrieving part 12. The retrieving part 12 retrieves a price zone information storage device 4, reads out correspondent buzzer control information and sounds a buzzer 6 while controlling sound quality, sound volume and sounding time, etc., through a buzzer controller 5. By listening to this buzzer, the operator judges the conformity of commodity and price zone and when it is proper, the next step is started so that the prize is judged correct, but when the operator considers that the commodity and price zone do not conform to each other, the correct price is investigated and stored in a sales data storage device 7 with a keyboard 8. Thus, the erroneous sticking of commodity code or the erroneous registration of price can be easily detected and immediately corrected at the time of selling.
