Description

  The present invention relates to a product information processor and a product information processing method for processing product information.

  Conventionally, cash registers are used to calculate the selling price of a product. In this case, the operator inputs the sales amount of the product using the sales key of the input device. As an input method of the sales amount of the product by the operator, for example, there is a method of reading the amount information of the product from the barcode of the pricing label with a barcode reader connected to the cash register. Thereafter, the total sales amount and the tax amount of the product are calculated by the cash register, and the post-tax amount which is the amount paid by the customer is calculated.

A cash register for discounting the fractional amount from the post-tax calculation amount has been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this case, the fractional amount is discounted from the post-tax calculation amount by pressing down the fractional discount key provided in the cash register.
