As shown in [Table 1], according to the number of items sold in each time zone, the number and amount of sales for each time zone are arranged by the host. That is, if the time is (1 to N) and the time according to the type of goods sold for each time zone is (1 to n), the number and amount of sales for each time zone (1 to n) are calculated.

The sales management method for each time slot will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The time zone item management information area configured as described above should be stored in RAM 160, which is a memory device of the internal configuration of the cash register shown in FIG. 2, and a program is input to ROM 150. Should be.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a program for managing item sales information for each time zone. As shown, the step of starting to check the amount and items sold by the cash register user (S10), the step of checking the items sold in the start (S10) step (S11), and the item sales confirmation ( In step S11, if the item is sold, the number of sales and the amount of sales are stored in the location of the item in the information area corresponding to the current time (S12), and the number of sales and the amount of sales are stored in the step (S12). When the number and the amount are stored, performing a general function (S13), and if it is determined to issue the item report sold for each time zone in the item sales confirmation (S12) step (S14), and the item report is issued. If it is determined that the step (S14) does not manage time zones in the step of performing a general function as before (S15), and if it is determined to issue the item report, time zone management If the user wants to do so, the step (S16) of inputting the report (i) sold for each time zone and the input of the report (i) sold for each time zone is checked (S16) to check whether the report is for a specific time zone. In step S17, and confirming whether or not the report is for the specific time zone (S17), confirming whether or not the report is for all time zones (S18), and granting report permission for all the time zones In the step S18 of checking all time zone reports, outputting all time zone reports (S21); if the report is not all time zones, an error occurs (S19); and the input content is in a specific time zone. In step (S17) of checking whether the report is a report for a specific time zone, inputting a desired time (S20), and inputting a desired time (S20). If the input is the output of the report of the time (S22), and outputting the report of the time in the step of outputting the report of the time (S22) has a characteristic comprising a step (S23) to perform a general function. .

Referring to the operation consisting of the above steps as follows.

In the start step (S10) for managing sales by time zone, general calculations are made to manage sales by time zone. When this preparation is completed, it is determined through the item sales determination step (S11) whether the current goods are sold for each time period. As a result of the determination, if the current item is being sold, the number of sales or the amount of money is checked at the location of the corresponding item in the information area corresponding to the current time by checking the group information connected to the item in the step S12.

When the number and amount of money being sold are stored in the group information area, the general function of the electronic cash register is executed. That is, a general function such as reading the amount of money being sold through the bar coder (not shown) and the item information is executed.

If the item is not currently being sold for each store clerk in the item sales determination step (S12), it is determined whether the item sales report for each time slot is issued through the item sales report issuance determination step (S14) for each time slot.

If it is determined that the group sales report for each clerk is not issued, the general function of the electronic cash register is executed through the general function performing step (S15). That is, a bar coder work or a general sale of goods is performed.

Then, when it is determined that the item sales report by time zone is issued through the time slot item sales report issuance determination step (S14), the report information according to the item sales performance by time zone is input through the report information input step (S16).

As such, when the report information is input, it is determined in which time of the report information the report information is input through the step (S20-8) of determining a specific salesperson group sales. As a result of the determination, if the report information is not report information of a specific time zone, the group sale report for all time zones is issued through the item sale report generation step (S20-9) of all time zones.

By using all of these time-phase item sales reports, it is possible to efficiently manage the goods by calculating which items are sold over time according to time.

In addition, when the report corresponding to the item sales in a specific time zone is input in the step S20-8 of determining the item sales by a specific time zone, a report of the corresponding time is issued through the step S20 of inputting a desired time of the corresponding time zone. .

In this way, when a report of the corresponding time is issued, the function of the general cash register is executed. Through such a loop, the group sales management for each clerk is continuously performed.

As described above, the present invention can more efficiently manage the goods by issuing a sales report by dividing the goods sold by the business by all time zones, and has the effect of increasing the creditworthiness of the business.
