Reference is made to- corresponding customer data file based upon the ID dais that are input.
Then, the goods are registered and the customer dz-ta file are updated at a step S13. As the registration processing is started, first, the date of transactior. ~s registered to the customer data file. Then, the date goods are registered. That is, bar codes attached to the goods are read by using a bar code reader, reference is made to the PLU file based upon the bar code data that are input, and the data of goods such as names of articles, prices, etc. are read out from the PLU file.
The data of goods that are read out are used for totalizing the transactions and are registered into the customer data file. In case the data length is changed, the data in the corresponding data length are updated.
Next, data related to customer's request are input in order to output purchase data (S14). As the data related to the customer's request, for instance, a period in which the customer wishes to output the purchase data is input. This will be the input of data in such a manner that the past data of how many months are required. Or, the period may be designated by inputting actual months and days. As to the data related to the customer's request, furthermore, the goods may be designated. By designating the goods, purchase data related to particular goods only can be selected and output.
Then, the data related to customer's request input at the step S14 are sent to the host unit which makes reference to the customer data file based upon the data related to customer's request that is sent. In the customer data file are stored receipt data issued at a moment when a purchase is made, and the host unit retrieves and reads, from the customer data file, the receipt data that correspond to a range designated by the data related to customer's. request that is input (S15).
The customer data file is retrieved by the data related to a designated date. When the goods have been designated and input, furthermore, the data corresponding to the goods are retrieved from the customer data file.
Then, the retrieved data are totalized according to the output form of the purchase data (S16). The totalization can be effected as shown in Fig. 3 by retrieving the data file based on each day and the ID.
Thereby, the list of goods purchased on each day is printed. Then, another totalization can be effected, e. g., as shown in Fig. 4, by retrieving the goods purchased in the designated term during each of the days or the month (or months). The manner of totalization can be suitably selected.
