DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a product registration 1
The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and a merchandise sales data processing system formed so that accounting processing can be performed on registered merchandise data relating to registered merchandise in a transaction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of a merchandise sales data processing device composed of, for example, an electronic cash register, when a person in charge inputs a merchandise code related to a merchandise purchased using a scanner, a control unit (CPU or the like) searches for a merchandise file. To acquire product data (product name, unit price) corresponding to the product code, and register the product in the sales file using the obtained product data. The registered product data (for example, product name, unit price, quantity, amount, tax, etc.) is displayed on the display.

When a series of merchandise registration operations are completed for all of the merchandise purchased and a closing operation is performed as one transaction end declaration, the control unit (CPU or the like) performs an accounting process including calculation of the total amount. Execute. This processing includes printing and issuing a receipt by a printer, displaying accounting processing data (for example, total amount, deposit amount, change amount, etc.) on a display, and automatically opening a drawer. It also receives money from the customer (e.g., banknotes) and hands over money (e.g., coins) equivalent to the amount of change to the customer and hands over receipts and point cards.

[0004] After this series of accounting processing operations, the process proceeds to the product registration operation of the next one transaction. At this time, even if the person in charge does not perform a special key operation or the like, when the product registration operation (scans the barcode attached to the product) for the next transaction is started, from the viewpoint of improving business efficiency, The accounting data of one transaction is automatically cleared.

[0005]

By the way, in practice, even when the accounting process for the previous transaction has not been completed, the next transaction is not completed.
In many cases, it is desired to start product registration for a transaction.

For example, when it takes a long time for a previous customer to take out money (e.g., banknotes, coins, cash-equivalent coupons, etc.) corresponding to the total sum of money up to one-yen unit, the next customer needs to purchase a plurality of purchased products. If there is an offer to register only one product (for example, a lunch box) for which you want to use the microwave oven first, two people in charge of the product registration and accounting process temporarily due to busyness in the store This is the case when you want to perform simultaneous work while sharing.

[0007] However, regardless of whether the accounting process of the previous transaction is completed or not completed, the accounting data of the previous transaction is automatically cleared when the product registration operation of the next transaction is started. For example, the change amount to be returned to the previous customer is unknown. In other words, after the start of the product registration operation for the next transaction, the accounting process for the previous transaction cannot be performed accurately.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to be able to start the product registration operation of the next one transaction even if the accounting process of the last transaction is not completed, and to execute the accounting process of the last transaction even after the start. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device and a product sales data processing system that can perform the above.
