Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal for a store in which a point return service is introduced.

  In recent years, for example, a large-scale consumer electronics retailer that sells electric appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, personal computers, video cameras, etc., sets a point return rate for each price for each product, and gives the customer who purchased the product There are stores that offer point return services that give a portion of the price as a point.

As a conventional merchandise sales data processing apparatus that can be used in a store that performs such a point return service, a product information file in which a price and a point return rate are set for each product is provided, and a product that is bought and sold in one transaction Each time is registered, the price and point return rate of the product is obtained from the product information file and the earned points are calculated. What added to the point was known (for example, refer patent document 1).
JP 2002-259792 A

  However, the receipts issued from this type of conventional merchandise sales data processing device only have the total points returned for one transaction printed, and the breakdown of the total points can be calculated from the printed contents of the receipt. It was difficult for customers to know. For this reason, it has not been possible to satisfy the demands of dealers who want to strongly appeal to customers who have purchased a plurality of products how many points are given for each product.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to issue a receipt that can easily know from the printed contents the breakdown of the total points that can be redeemed for goods sold and sold in one transaction. The present invention intends to provide a possible merchandise sales data processing apparatus.

  One aspect of the merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the present invention includes, for example, a POS terminal provided with a receipt issuing means for issuing a receipt on which transaction details data such as the product name, price, and total amount of goods sold and sold in one transaction are printed. In the product sales data processing device such as, for example, a customer identification data input means such as a card reader of a customer card in which a customer code is recorded, and a point return rate for the price of the product purchased by the customer corresponding to the customer identification data Customer point return rate storage means for storing, product identification data input means such as a scanner for scanning a product code, and customer point return rate corresponding to customer identification data input by the customer identification data input means By the return rate acquisition means for acquiring the point return rate stored in the storage means and the input means for the product identification data Point calculation means for calculating the points obtained by buying and selling the product identified by the received product identification data using the point return rate obtained by the return rate acquisition means, and point calculation means for the product bought and sold in one transaction Total points calculated by the point totaling means, the total points calculated by the point totaling means, and at least one of the earned points for each product bought and sold in one transaction and the point return rate used to calculate the earned points Point printing control means for printing the points on the receipt issued by the receipt issuing means.

  According to the present invention in which such measures are taken, it is possible to issue a receipt with which the breakdown of the total points to be returned for one transaction can be easily known from the printed contents. For example, for customers who have purchased a plurality of products It is possible to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus capable of sufficiently satisfying the demand of the dealer who wants to appeal strongly how many points are given for each merchandise.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the present embodiment. A merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a keyboard 1, a scanner 2, a card reader 3, a display 4, a customer display 5, The POS terminal 10 includes input / output devices such as a printer 6 and a file processor 20 that manages data files such as a product master file 21 and a customer master file 22. The POS terminal 10 and the file processor 20 are connected by a communication line 30 such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

  In the product master file 21, as shown in FIG. 2, the name of the product corresponding to a unique product code that is product identification data set for each product to identify each product sold in the store. (Product name), unit price that is the price per product, point return rate for the product price, so-called point return rate R1 for each product, and various flags of product priority flag F1, customer priority flag F2, and exclusion flag F3 Are stored (product point return rate storage means).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the customer master file 22 corresponds to a unique customer code, which is customer identification data set for each customer in order to identify each customer registered as a point member. In addition to sales performance data such as name, points, amount, etc., the latest accumulated points, etc., a point return rate for the price of the product purchased by this customer, so-called customer-specific point return rate R2, is stored (customer point return rate storage) means).

  In the product master file 21, various flags are set for each product under the following conditions. That is, the product priority flag F1 is set to “1” for a product that prioritizes the product point return rate R1 over the customer-specific point return rate R2 as the point return rate used when calculating the earned points associated with product sales. The other flags F2 and F3 are reset to “0”. Conversely, for products that prioritize the customer-specific point return rate R2 over the product-specific point return rate R1, the customer priority flag F2 is set to “1” and the other flags F1, F3 are reset to “0”. is doing. In addition, for the product to be excluded from the point calculation, the exclusion flag F3 is set to “1”, and the other flags F1 and F3 are reset to “0”. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the product (product E in FIG. 2) whose sale price is a discount price compared to the normal unit price set in the product master file 21 is excluded from the point calculation. To do.

  In the customer master file 22, the customer-specific point return rate R2 is set based on the past purchase record of the customer. For example, a higher point return rate is set for a good customer with a large sales performance amount than for a customer with a small sales performance amount. Incidentally, in this embodiment, a point card in which each customer's customer code is recorded is distributed to each customer, and points are given by presenting them to the store side at the time of product purchase. The latest accumulated points and the point return rate R2 of the customer may be recorded on the point card.

Returning to FIG.
The POS terminal 10 is mounted with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a control unit main body. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 13 and a RAM are connected to the CPU 11 via a bus line 12 such as an address bus and a data bus. (Random Access Memory) 14 memory unit, clock unit 15 for measuring the current date and time, interface unit 16 with each of the input / output devices 1 to 6, and communication for controlling data communication with the file processor 20 A controller 17 and the like are connected.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the keyboard 1 has “00” and “0” to “9” numeric keys 41 for numeric data, and numeric data arranged by the numeric keys 41. PLU key 42 for instructing that it is a PLU (Price Look Up) code, x key 43 for instructing that numerical data is a multiplier, discount key 44 for instructing that numerical data is a discount rate, and numerical data is a value A discount key 45 for commanding a discount, a clear key 46 for commanding clearing of numerical data, etc., a subtotal key 47 for commanding subtotal output of a transaction, and a deposit / cash key 48 for commanding cash closing of a transaction In addition, an exclusion key 49 and the like for declaring that sales merchandise is excluded from the point calculation are disposed.

  The scanner 2 reads a barcode attached to each product. Each product has a barcode indicating a product code unique to the product. Here, the scanner 2 functions as an input unit for product identification data. The product code can also be input as a PLU code using the numeric keys 41 and the PLU key 42 of the keyboard 1.

  The card reader 3 reads card data including a customer code recorded on the point card. Here, the card reader 3 functions as input means for customer identification data.

  The display 4 displays the name, price, total amount, etc. of the goods sold and sold as one transaction for the operator of the POS terminal 10, and the customer display 5 is the same for the customer of the one transaction. Information is displayed.

  The printer 6 issues a receipt on which transaction details data such as the product name, price, and total amount of goods sold and sold in one transaction are printed under the control of the CPU 11. The printer 6 and the CPU 11 constitute the receipt issuing means of the present invention.

  In the POS terminal 10 having such a configuration, as a main memory area related to the present invention, a product registration information buffer 51, a product registration information number counter 52, a point card buffer 53, a customer point return rate memory are stored in the RAM 14 as shown in FIG. 54 and a print buffer 55 are formed.

  The product registration information buffer 51 includes a product code, a product name, a unit price, a point return rate, a sales point, a sales price, an acquired point, a sales price, and an exclusion status for each product sold and sold in one transaction. Registration information records are accumulated. In addition, total areas 56, 57, 58, 59 of the sales points, sales amounts, earned points, and sales variable amounts of the accumulated product registration information records are formed. The product registration information number counter 52 counts the number N of product registration information records accumulated in the product registration information buffer 51.

  The point card buffer 53 stores card data including the customer code read from the point card. In addition, an area of a card flag CF is formed for identifying whether the transaction is with the customer who presented the point card. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the card flag CF is set to “1” when the transaction is with the customer who presented the point card.

  The customer point return rate memory 54 stores the customer-specific point return rate R2 read from the customer master file 22 using the customer code in the card data stored in the point card buffer 53 as a key.

  The print buffer 55 stores receipt print data for one transaction that is collectively printed by the printer 6.

  Therefore, the CPU 11 controls information processing related to a commercial transaction with one customer according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. In starting this process, the product registration information buffer 51, the card buffer 53, the customer point return rate memory 54, and the print buffer 55 are cleared. The count value N of the product registration information number counter 52 is also “0”.

  First, the CPU 11 checks the card flag CF of the card buffer 53 as ST (step) 1. Since the card flag CF is initially reset to “0”, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the card is registered as ST2.

  If it is detected in ST2 that the card data of the point card is read via the card reader 3, the CPU 11 determines that card registration is present. Then, the CPU 11 writes the card data into the card buffer 53 as ST3. In ST4, the card flag CF is set to “1”. Further, the customer code is acquired from the card data written in the card buffer 53 as ST5. Then, an inquiry is made to the file processor 20 via the communication controller 17 with this customer code, the point return rate R2 preset in the customer master file 22 corresponding to this customer code is read, and the customer point return rate memory 54 is read. (Reduction rate acquisition means). Thereafter, the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of ST6.

  If the card data of the point card is not read in ST2 and it is determined that the card is not registered, the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of ST6 without performing the processes of ST3-5.

  If the card flag CF is set to “1” in ST1, the card data is saved and the transaction is with the point member who presented the point card. Therefore, the CPU 11 skips the processing of ST2 to ST5. The process proceeds to ST6.

  In ST6, it waits for product registration. Here, when a product code is input via the product code input means of the scanner 2 or the keyboard 1, the CPU 11 determines that there is product registration. Then, the process proceeds to ST7 product registration processing.

  In ST7, the CPU 11 executes a product registration process specifically shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the CPU 11 first makes an inquiry to the file processor 20 via the communication controller 17 with the product code input as ST21, and the product name, unit price, preset in the product master file 21 corresponding to this input product code. Product information such as point reduction rate R1, product priority flag F1, customer priority flag F2, exclusion flag F3, etc. is read. Then, the CPU 11 determines one type of flag set to “1” among the various flags F1 to F3 as ST22 (priority reduction rate determination means).

  Here, when the product priority flag F1 is set to “1”, the product prioritizes the point return rate R1 for each product over the point return rate R2 for each customer, so the CPU 11 calculates the earned points. As ST23, the point return rate R1 in the product information read from the product master file 21 is selected. As ST26, a product registration information record including this point return rate R1 is created and saved in the product registration information buffer 51.

  On the other hand, when the customer priority flag F2 is set to “1”, the product calculates the earned points by giving priority to the customer point return rate R2 over the product point return rate R1, so the CPU 11 Selects the point return rate R2 stored in the customer point return rate memory 54 as ST24, creates a product registration information record including this point return rate R2 as ST26, and saves it in the product registration information buffer 51.

  On the other hand, if the exclusion flag F3 is set to “1”, the product is not subject to the calculation of earned points, so the CPU 11 sets the point return rate to “0” as ST25 and the point return rate “ A product registration information record including “0” is created and saved in the product registration information buffer 51.

  When the product registration information record is saved in the product registration information buffer 51, if no other product registration information record with the same product code is stored, the count value N of the product registration information number counter 52 is set to 1. The product registration information record created this time is added to the Nth area of the product registration information buffer 51. In contrast, if a product registration information record with the same product code has already been stored, the sales score of the product registration information record created this time is added to the sales score data and sales price data of the existing product registration information record. And add the sales amount. The sales score is the multiplier when the multiplier key is input by the numeric key 41 and the x key 43 immediately before the product code is input, and is 1 when the multiplier is not input. The sales amount is an amount calculated by multiplying the unit price by the number of sales points. If the sales change information of the discount rate or discount amount is input by the numeric key 41 and the discount key 44 or the discount key 45 as the price change instruction means after the product code is input, the sales variable amount will be discounted. It is an amount (sales amount x discount rate) or a discount amount, and is 0 when no sales change information is input.

  Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a point calculation exclusion condition is established as ST27 to ST29 (point calculation determination means). In the present embodiment, there are three conditions under which point calculation exclusion is established. One of them is a case where the exclusion flag in the product information read from the product master file 21 is set to “1” (ST27). Another one is a case where sales change information is input by the price change instruction means (ST28). The remaining one is a case where the exclusion key 49 is operated after the product code is input (ST29).

  If the condition for excluding the point calculation is satisfied, the CPU 11 stores the product registration information record added this time as ST30 or the product registration information record added with the sales score, the sales price, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the current edit record). Turn on the exclusion status (ON). Thereafter, the process proceeds to ST8 (FIG. 6).

On the other hand, if the condition for excluding the point calculation is not satisfied, the CPU 11 obtains the earned points P ((1) from the sales amount A (yen) and the point conversion rate B (%) of the current edit record in ST31 by the following equation (1) (The fractional part is rounded down) is calculated (point calculation means).
P = (A × B) / 100 (1)
Then, the calculated acquired point P is set in the current edit record. Thereafter, if the exclusion status of the current edit record is turned off (OFF) in ST32, the process proceeds to ST8.

  In ST8, it is determined whether or not two or more items are registered. If there is product registration, the product registration process of ST7 is executed again. If there is no product registration, the CPU 11 determines whether or not registration is closed as ST9. When the deposit / current total key 48 of the keyboard 1 is operated, the CPU 11 determines that registration is closed. Then, the process proceeds to ST9. On the other hand, if the deposit / cash key 48 is not operated and it is determined that the registration is not closed, the CPU 11 returns to the product registration determination process in ST8.

  In ST10, a registration closing process is executed. In this registration closing process, the CPU 11 sums up the sales points, sales amounts, and sales change amounts of all the product registration information records stored in the product registration information buffer 51 in the total areas 56, 57, and 59, respectively. Then, the total amount (total sales amount−total sales change amount) is subtracted from the deposit amount, and the change amount is obtained and displayed on the display 4 and the customer display 5. Further, the total points of all the product registration information records stored in the product registration information buffer 51 are summed in the total area 58 to calculate the current point (point summing means).

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 executes a print data creation process specifically shown in FIG. 8 as ST11. That is, the CPU 11 first checks the card flag CF as ST41. Here, if the card flag CF is set to “1”, it means a commercial transaction with the customer who presented the point card, so the CPU 11 counts each of the first and second addition counters (not shown) as ST42. The values m and n are initialized to “1”, respectively.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 stores the No. of the merchandise registration information buffer 51 in ST43. The product registration information record is acquired from the area of m (m is the count value of the first addition counter). In ST44, the exclusion status of the product registration information record is checked. Here, when the exclusion status is OFF, the record is a product registration information record of a product that is not excluded from the point calculation, and therefore the CPU 11 adds to the product name, unit price, sales score, and sales price of the record as ST45. Print data of the registered merchandise detail data is created from each data of the point return rate and the acquired points and saved in the print buffer 55. On the other hand, when the exclusion status is ON, since the record is a product registration information record of a product to be excluded from the point calculation, the CPU 11 stores the record in No. of the product registration information buffer 51 as ST46. Shift to the area of (N + n) (N is the count value of the product registration information number counter 52, and n is the count value of the second addition counter). Thereafter, the CPU 11 increments the count value n of the second addition counter by 1 in ST47.

  Next, the CPU 11 increments the count value m of the first addition counter by 1 in ST48. Then, in ST49, it is determined whether or not the count value m of the first addition counter exceeds the count value N of the product registration information number counter 52. When the count value m does not exceed the count value N, the CPU 11 returns to the process of ST43 and acquires the next product registration information record from the product registration information buffer 51. If it is a record of a product that is not excluded from point calculation (exclusion status: off), the processing of ST45, 48 is executed. If a record of a product that is excluded from point calculation (exclusion status: on), ST46, 47, 48 processes are executed.

  Thus, the CPU 11 sequentially acquires the product registration information records from the product registration information buffer 51 and repeats the above processing. If it is confirmed in ST49 that the count value m has exceeded the count value N, the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of ST50.

  In ST50, the product registration information buffer 51 No. It is determined whether or not the merchandise registration information record is shifted to the area of m (m is the count value of the first addition counter). If it is determined that the product registration information record has been shifted, the CPU 11 in ST51 clearly indicates on the receipt that it is a detailed print area of the product to be excluded from the point calculation (eg, “point exclusion”). ]) Is saved in the print buffer 55.

  Next, the CPU 11 determines this No. as ST52. The product registration information record shifted to the area of m is acquired, the print data of the registered product detail data is created from the data of the product name, unit price, number of sales points and sales price of the record, and saved in the print buffer 55 . At this time, the data of the point return rate and the acquired points are not incorporated into the print data.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 increments the first addition counter by 1 in ST53. In ST54, the product registration information buffer 51 No. It is determined whether or not the product registration information record is shifted to the area m. If it is determined that the product registration information record has been shifted, the CPU 11 returns to the process of ST52, and prints the registered product description data from the data of the product name, unit price, number of sales, and sales price of the record. Data is created and saved in the print buffer 55.

  Thus, in ST54, the product registration information buffer 51 No. When it is confirmed that the product registration information record is not shifted to the area of m, that is, when the detailed data of the point calculation excluded products in the products sold and sold in one transaction are collectively set in the print buffer 55, or ST50 No. of the merchandise registration information buffer 51 at No. When it is confirmed that the product registration information record is not shifted in the area of m, that is, when there is no point calculation excluded product in the product sold and sold in one transaction, the CPU 11 calculates the total of the commercial transaction as ST55. Print data such as the amount, deposit amount, change amount, and current point is saved in the print buffer 55.

  Since the print data creation process is completed, the CPU 11 next controls the drive of the printer 6 as ST12 in FIG. 6 to perform batch printing of the print data saved in the print buffer 55 on the receipt paper. Then, a receipt is issued (point printing control means).

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 checks the card flag CF as ST13. Only when the card flag CF is set to “1”, the CPU 11 sums up the card data including the customer code in the point card buffer 53 and the total area 56 to 58 of the product registration information buffer 51 as ST14. The total score, total amount, and total point data of the current transaction are transferred to the file processor 20, and the information processing related to the commercial transaction with the one customer is completed.

  The file processor 20 acquires each data of the customer code and the total score, total amount and total points of the current transaction from the data transferred from the POS terminal 10. And the process which adds the total score and total amount of this transaction to the sales performance data corresponding to the said customer code of the customer master file 22, and adds the total point of this transaction to a cumulative point is performed.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the customer-specific point return rate R2 determined based on the sales performance for each customer on the customer master file 22 is stored and managed for each customer code. The point return rate R1 for each product set for each product on 21 is stored and managed for each product code. In addition, the product priority flag F1 is set on the product master file 21 for a product that prioritizes the product-based point return rate R1 over the customer-specific point return rate R2 as a point return rate used when calculating the earned points associated with product sales. On the other hand, for a product that is set to “1” and the customer point return rate R2 is given priority over the product point return rate R1, the customer priority flag F2 is set to “1” on the product master file 21. It is set. Further, a special sale price that is discounted as compared with the normal price is set as the price, and the exclusion flag F3 is set to “1” on the product master file 21 for the product to be excluded from the point calculation.

  2 and 3 are set in the product master file 21 and the customer master file 22, respectively, 2 products A, 6 products B, and 1 product C, D, E, F each. The action when a commercial transaction with the customer of the customer code “1” purchased point-wise occurs will be specifically described.

  First, the store clerk (casher) causes the card reader 3 to read the card data of the customer card presented by the customer. Then, the customer point return rate R2 = 5% set based on the sales performance of this customer is stored in the customer point return rate memory 54.

  Next, the store clerk operates the keyboard 1 or the scanner 2 of the POS terminal 10 and inputs the product code, the number of sales, etc. of the product purchased by the customer. Suppose that product codes are input in the order of products A, B, C, D, E, and F. In addition, it is assumed that the product B is discounted by 300 yen by purchasing 6 points.

  Then, in the case of the products A and F, since the product priority flag F1 is set to “1”, the earned points are calculated using the product point return rate R1. In the case of the product C and the product D, since the customer priority flag F2 is set to “1”, the earned points are calculated using the customer-specific point return rate R2. On the other hand, in the case of the product B, since the customer priority flag F2 is set to “1”, the customer-specific point return rate R2 is selected, but the sales change information of 300 yen discount is input and thus excluded. The status is turned on and no points are calculated. In the case of the product E, since the exclusion flag F3 is set to “1”, the exclusion status is turned on and the earned points are not calculated.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. Product code (1), product name (product A), unit price (1000 yen), point return rate (10%: point return rate by product R1), sales points (2 points), sales amount (2000 yen) , Product information records of acquisition points (200 points), sales change amount (0 yen), and exclusion status (off) are stored. No. Product code (2), product name (product B), unit price (500 yen), point return rate (5%: customer-specific point return rate R2), sales points (6 points), sales amount (3000), A product information record of acquired points (0 points), sales change amount (300 yen), and exclusion status (ON) is stored. No. Product code (3), product name (product C), unit price (2000 yen), point return rate (5%: customer point return rate R2), sales points (1 point), sales amount (2000 yen) , Product information records of acquisition points (100 points), sales change amount (0 yen), and exclusion status (off) are stored. No. Product code (4), product name (product D), unit price (80 yen), point return rate (5%: customer point return rate R2), sales points (1 point), sales amount (80 yen) , Product information records of acquisition points (0 points), sales change amount (0 yen), and exclusion status (off) are stored. No. Product code (5), product name (product E), unit price (3,000 yen), point return rate (0%), sales points (1 point), sales amount (3000 yen), earned points (0 points) , A product information record of sales change amount (0 yen) and exclusion status (ON) is stored. No. 6 records as product code (6), product name (product F), unit price (1500 yen), point return rate (10%: point return rate R1 by product), sales points (1 point), sales price (1500 yen) , Product information records of acquisition points (150 points), sales change amount (0 yen), and exclusion status (off) are stored.

  Thereby, the acquired points of the products A, D, and F are totaled in the point total area 58, and the current point (450 points) is calculated.

  Thereafter, when the operator enters the deposit amount (12,000 yen) and operates the deposit / current total key 48, the printer 6 prints and issues a receipt 90 having the layout shown in FIG. That is, the receipt 90 is divided into a detailed print area 91 for products not excluded from the point calculation and a detailed print area 92 for products excluded from the point calculation. Text data “point exclusion” 93 is printed on the boundary between the two areas 91 and 92 to indicate that the area below it is the detailed print area of the product excluded from the point calculation.

  Further, in the detailed print area 91 of the product not excluded from the point calculation, the point return rate used in the earned point calculation of the product, following the product name, points, unit price and price print column 94 of the product, A print field 95 for the acquired points calculated by the point return rate is formed.

  Further, a printing column 97 of total points (current points) obtained by totaling the earned points of the products sold and sold in one transaction is formed below the total amount printing column 96 of the products sold and sold in one transaction.

  On the other hand, when the same commercial transaction is performed for the customer with the customer code “3” (customer point return rate R1 = 1%), as shown in FIG. Product code (2), product name (product B), unit price (500 yen), point return rate (1%: customer-specific point return rate R2), sales points (6 points), sales amount (3000), Product information records of acquired points (0 points), sales change amount (300 yen), and exclusion status (ON) are stored. Product code (3), product name (product C), unit price (2000 yen), point return rate (1%: customer-specific point return rate R2), sales points (1 point), sales amount (2000 yen) , Acquisition point (20 points), sales change amount (0 yen), exclusion status (off) product information record is stored. Product code (4), product name (product D), unit price (80 yen), point return rate (1%: customer point return rate R2), sales points (1 point), sales price (80 yen) , Product information records of acquisition points (0 points), sales change amount (0 yen), and exclusion status (off) are stored. No. The records 1, 5 and 6 are the same as in the case of the commercial transaction with the customer with the customer code “1”.

  Thus, for the customer with the customer code “3”, the acquired points of the products A, D, and F are totaled in the point total area 58 and the current point (370 points) is calculated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by confirming the printed contents of the receipt 90, the shopper can easily know the breakdown of the total points to be returned for one transaction. In addition, when there is a product that is excluded from the point calculation, it is possible to easily know what the product is.

  In addition, from the point of view of the dealer, the customer can be informed that the points are calculated correctly, and how many points are given to each customer who has purchased multiple products. Can be strongly appealed, so the sales promotion effect can be greatly expected.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the product detail print area of the receipt 90 is divided into the product detail print area 91 that is not excluded from the point calculation and the product detail print area 92 that is excluded from the point calculation. For example, detailed data of products excluded from the point calculation may be distinguished from products not excluded from the point calculation by adding a predetermined mark.

  Further, a point return rate type area is provided in the product registration information buffer 51, and data for identifying whether the point return rate used is the customer-specific point return rate R2 or the product-specific point return rate R1 is stored. For each product for which the earned points have been calculated, whether the point return rate R1 for each product or the point return rate R2 for each customer is used as a point return rate may be distinguished and printed on the receipt. .

  In the embodiment, the file processor 20 connected online with the POS terminal 10 stores and manages the product master file 21 and the customer master file 22, but the POS terminal itself is equipped with an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device. By storing and managing the product master file 21 and the customer master file 22 in this HDD device, the product sales data processing device of the present invention can be configured by a single POS terminal. The storage means for storing the point return rate set for each product is not limited to the product master file 21. For example, a product with a return rate different from the standard point return rate is extracted, and this product is extracted. A dedicated data file storing the point return rate for the price corresponding to the product code may be used.

  Further, in the printing example of the receipt 90, printing of acquisition points may be omitted for the product B having 0 acquisition points. Further, instead of printing both the point return rate and the earned points for a product that is not excluded from the point calculation, it is possible to print either one, preferably only the earned points.

  In the above embodiment, the point return rate is set for each product. However, the point return rate for each product is omitted, and the points earned for each product are calculated using only the point return rate set for each customer. You may make it print the acquisition point for every goods on a receipt.

  In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, the constituent elements over different embodiments may be combined.
