Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a store system, and more particularly, to a store system in which the setting of a commodity price can be easily changed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Clothing, sporting goods, personal computer goods and the like are referred to as, for example, 2001 models and 2001 winter models. Due to changes in design and functions due to seasons, various products are manufactured and sold. In addition, the cycle of product announcements from the old model to the new model of home appliances and personal computers that are currently being distributed has become extremely short.

[0003] Therefore, in stores that sell these products, a system is adopted in which products with a low product value, such as old models, are disposed of earlier by discount or the like.

[0004]

In order to change the setting of the selling price by changing the discount rate or the like, it is necessary to change the setting of the selling price using the commodity code to be discounted as a key. For this reason, the price change work such as the simultaneous discount sale of the old model is enormous. Further, even when a product of a certain manufacturer is discounted, for example, by a uniform 10%, the price change work is similarly enormous.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a store system in which the product price change work associated with the discount is made more efficient.

[0006]

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

A production model name for specifying the product, a product file storing discount information such as a selling price and a discount rate of the product, a discount information file storing production time and discount information for each production model, and the product file And a storage unit having a registration information file for registering a sales price calculated based on the information stored in the discount information file,
An input unit, an output unit and a control unit that controls the storage unit,
The control unit, when adding a product having new attribute information to the product file, updates the discount information of the product older than the product stored in the discount information file. At this time, the control unit recalculates the selling price based on the update information, and stores the recalculation result in the registration information file.

FIG. 5 shows the discount information file 11 shown in FIG.
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining update of the second information. As shown in the figure, attribute information including a production model name and a production year of a product is received from a manufacturer computer, and the discount information file 112 of the store system 101 is updated. In the example shown in the drawing, information (information on a new product) having a manufacturing model name of “E model” is received from a computer of a manufacturer, and manufacturing model names are “A model”, “B model”, “C model”, “ The example which updates the discount rate of the old model product which is "D model" is shown. When updating the discount rate of the old model product, the discount rate can be updated automatically based on preset data or manually based on the display of the input request screen.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the update processing of the registration information file. As described with reference to FIG. 5, prior to the update processing, first, the product attribute information including the manufacturing model name and the manufacturing year is received from the computer of the manufacturer, and the discount rate 303 of the discount information file 112 is determined based on the received information.
To update.

Next, the code of the product purchased by the customer as a consumer is input from the keyboard 106 or the scanner 107 (S601), and the input product code is set in the JAN code 401 of the registration information file 113 (S60).
2). If the customer purchases a plurality of merchandise, the number is input from the keyboard 107 (S60).
3) The input quantity is set to the quantity 403 of the registration information file 113 (S604).

JAN code 4 of registration information file 113
The calculation unit 103 searches the product file 111 using 01 as a search key. If a corresponding record exists, the control unit 102 sets the product name 202 of the corresponding record to the product name 402 of the registration information file 113, the list price 203 to the list price 404, the discount rate 204 to the discount rate 405, and the manufacturer 205 to the The production model 206 is set to the production model 408 for the production maker 407 (S605).

Manufacturing model name 4 in registration information file 113
The calculation unit 103 searches the discount information file 112 using 08 as a search key (S606). If the corresponding record exists, the discount rate 303 of the corresponding record in the discount information file 112 is set to the discount rate 406 of the registration information file 113 (S607). If there is no corresponding record, the process proceeds to step 608.

The arithmetic section 103 multiplies the list price 404 of the registration information file 113 by the discount rate 405, and sets the obtained value to the discount amount 406 of the registration information file 113 (S60).
8), the discount amount 406 is subtracted from the list price 404 of the registration information file 113, and the calculated value and the quantity 403 are calculated.
And sets the obtained value to the selling price 409 (S6).
09).
