Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus used for merchandise sales processing in convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores, and the like, a merchandise sales data processing system using the apparatus, and a control program for the merchandise sales data processing apparatus.

  Currently, over-the-counter drugs are sold at convenience stores, supermarkets and drug stores. An over-the-counter drug is one that has no significant effect on the human body, and is used according to the choice of a consumer based on information provided by a pharmaceutical person.

  The above-mentioned over-the-counter drugs are classified into three risk categories of Category 1, Drugs 2, and 3 according to Article 36-3 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. Class 1 drugs are those designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as those requiring special attention regarding the use of drugs that may cause adverse health effects due to side effects. Class 2 drugs are drugs (excluding Class 1 drugs) that may cause health problems that may interfere with daily life due to side effects, etc., and are designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare. Class 3 drugs are generic drugs other than Class 1 drugs and Class 2 drugs. Further, among the second-class pharmaceuticals, those requiring special attention are referred to as designated second-class pharmaceuticals, and are handled slightly differently from the usual second-class pharmaceuticals in the display of the product packaging.

  Sales of over-the-counter drugs will be described with reference to FIG. The rules in each risk category differ in terms of professionals and information provision that should be handled for sales. That is, the first category pharmaceutical can be sold only by a pharmacist, while the second category and third category pharmaceuticals can be sold by registered sellers in addition to the pharmacist. In addition, Class 1 drugs are obliged to provide written information at the time of sale, whereas Class 2 drugs are obliged to make an effort to actively provide information, and Class 3 drugs are actively provided. There is no provision under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. However, it is stipulated that information must be provided in the case of consultation from the purchaser in all of the first-class pharmaceutical, second-class pharmaceutical, and third-class pharmaceutical.

  Meanwhile, in conventional convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores, and the like, merchandise sales processing is performed using a merchandise sales data processing device such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal. The merchandise sales data processing apparatus accepts an input of a merchandise code by scanning a barcode attached to the merchandise using the attached scanner, acquires merchandise data such as a merchandise price based on the inputted merchandise code, and A product is sold based on the product data. Some merchandise sales data processing apparatuses accept registration (sign-on) of a person in charge of operation, and permit only a person with specific authority to perform a manager operation or the like. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  As described above, when selling over-the-counter drugs, the sales method differs depending on the risk category, but if the salesperson confirmed the risk category of the product that the customer is trying to purchase, The sales process is delayed. For this reason, there is a possibility that the customer's feelings toward the store will be worsened, especially at the time of prosperity, by making a queue at the cash register and making the customer wait. In addition, if the salesclerk operating the product sales data processing apparatus overlooks the risk category at the time of sale and fails to fulfill the obligation to explain the first class pharmaceutical, it may cause trouble with the customer later.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to sell products that can facilitate sales processing while complying with the conditions imposed on sales of over-the-counter drugs. It is to provide a data processing apparatus, a merchandise sales data processing system using the apparatus, and a control program for the merchandise sales data processing apparatus.

  One aspect of the present invention is a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that processes sales data of merchandise sold as one transaction and issues a receipt on which transaction details are printed. The sales qualification means for acquiring the sales qualification possessed by the salesperson who received the sign-on by the Sanion reception means from the salesperson data storage unit storing the sales qualification of each salesperson, and the product to be sold. Based on the product category discriminating means for discriminating the predetermined product category, the product category discriminated by the product category discriminating means, and the sales qualification of the salesperson obtained by the sales qualification obtaining means, the product is sold by the salesperson. Sales are made by a sales availability determination unit that determines whether or not a product can be sold, and a sales availability determination unit among products sold as one transaction. Sales data is processed for products that are determined to be capable of selling, and sales products that are determined to be unsaleable are sold in a transaction processing means that excludes the sales data from sales processing and products that are sold as one transaction. When a product determined to be impossible is included, a transaction identifier recording unit that records a transaction identifier that can identify the transaction on a receipt, and at least the transaction associated with the transaction identifier recorded on the receipt by the transaction identifier recording unit The non-saleable transaction storage means for storing the information of the product determined to be unsaleable in the non-saleable information storage unit, the identifier reading means for reading the transaction identifier recorded in the receipt, and the transaction identifier read by the identifier reading means The merchandise determined to be unsaleable from the information stored in association with the transaction identifier by searching the unsaleable information storage unit at A non-saleable product extraction means for extracting the product, and the sales availability determination means further includes the product category assigned to the product extracted by the non-saleable product extraction means and the sales qualification of the salesperson acquired by the sales qualification acquisition means Based on the above, it is determined whether or not the sales item can be sold by the salesperson.

  According to the present invention in which such measures are taken, there is an effect that the sales process can be facilitated while observing the conditions imposed on the sales of the over-the-counter drugs.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the product sales data processing system of the present invention is applied to a supermarket that sells over-the-counter drugs.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a merchandise sales data processing system in the present embodiment. The merchandise sales data processing system includes a LAN 1 as a network laid in the store. The LAN 1 is connected to a plurality of POS terminals 2 that function as the product sales data processing apparatus of the present invention and a store server 3 that controls each POS terminal 2. Each POS terminal 2 has the same configuration, and one POS terminal 2 is installed at each of a plurality of cashiers which are customer accounting locations. The store server 3 is a general-purpose computer, and is installed, for example, in a store management office.
The store server 3 stores and manages various databases of the product master 4, the salesperson master 5, and the cash register master 6. In addition, a storage area as the unsaleable information storage unit 7 is also secured.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the product master 4 stores a product code, a product name, a unit price, a risk classification, etc. for each product as unique data of each product sold in the store. The product code is product identification information set in advance so as to be different for each product item. The risk category is information as a product category that identifies whether the product is a generic drug, and in the case of a generic drug, whether it belongs to the first, second, or third class, In this embodiment, the risk category of the first category pharmaceutical is “1”, the risk category of the second category pharmaceutical is “2”, the risk category of the third category pharmaceutical is “3”, and the risk category other than the over-the-counter drugs is “ 0 ”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the salesperson master 5 operates the POS terminal 2 as unique data of each salesperson who can execute the business of processing the sales data of the products purchased by the customer. The name, authority classification, etc. are stored for each salesperson. The salesperson code is salesperson identification information set in advance so as to be different for each salesperson. The authority classification is information for identifying the sales qualification for the over-the-counter drugs possessed by the salesperson. In this embodiment, the pharmacist who has the sales authority for the over-the-counter drugs from the first to third class drugs. The authority classification is “1”, the authority classification of the registered seller who has the sales authority only for the second and third class drugs is “2”, and the authority classification of the unqualified person who does not have the authority to sell over-the-counter drugs. Is set to “0”. Here, the salesperson master 5 constitutes a salesperson data storage unit.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cash register master 6 stores a cash register number, a cash register name, a status, a salesperson code, an authority classification, and the like as information on the status of each cash register in which each POS terminal 2 is installed. The cash register No and the cash register name are cash register identification information set in advance so as to be different for each cash register. The status is information for identifying the state of the POS terminal 2 installed at the cash register, that is, whether the sign-on state or the sign-off state. When in the sign-on state, the salesperson code and authority classification of the salesperson who has signed on are registered in the cash register master 6. Here, the cash register master 6 constitutes a salesperson qualification storage unit.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the POS terminal 2. The POS terminal 2 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a control center. For this CPU 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12 that stores fixed data such as various control programs, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13 in which a memory area for temporarily storing variable data is formed, In addition to the LAN interface 14 connected to the LAN 1 and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device 15 as an auxiliary storage device, an I / O (Input / Output) port 16, a keyboard controller 17, an operator display controller 18, and a customer use A display controller 19, a printer controller 20, a scanner interface 21, a speaker controller 22, and the like are connected via a bus line 23 such as a PCI bus.

  Although not shown, the I / O port 16 receives a signal from a mode switch. Further, a drive signal is output to a drawer opening device for opening the drawer. The keyboard controller 17 captures a key signal corresponding to the key operated from the keyboard 31 and notifies the CPU 11 of the key signal. The keyboard 31 is provided with various function keys such as a PLU key, a subtotal key, a deposit / cash total key, and a total key in addition to a numeric key for inputting numeric data.

  The operator display controller 18 controls the touch panel display 32. That is, the signal of the touch panel sensor 32a is captured, and the touch position coordinates are obtained and notified to the CPU 11. In addition, various screens are selectively displayed on the display unit 32b according to a command from the CPU 11.

  The customer-side display controller 19 controls the customer-side display 33 and selectively displays various screens on the display unit according to instructions from the CPU 11. The printer controller 20 controls receipt printing and journal printing by the receipt printer 34. The scanner interface 21 inputs the barcode data scanned by the scanner 35 and notifies the CPU 11 of it. The speaker controller 22 outputs sound from the speaker 36 in response to a command from the CPU 11.

  The POS terminal 2 having such a configuration stores in the RAM 13 a person-in-charge registration area 41 for storing information on a salesperson who has registered the person in charge of operation (hereinafter referred to as sign-on), and data of products sold as one transaction. And a transaction area 42 for storage.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the transaction area 42 is an area that can store a plurality of product data records including items of a product code, a product name, a unit price, a risk classification, a sales point, a sales price, and a sales impossible flag. In the above item, the unsaleable flag is information for identifying whether the product identified by the product code of the same record is sellable or unsaleable. In this embodiment, “0” is set when the product can be sold. And “1” when sales are not possible.

  Further, the POS terminal 2 stores an authority determination table 51 in the HDD device 15. An example of the data structure of the authority determination table 51 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, in the authority determination table 51, a general salesperson, a pharmacist, and a registered seller sign the POS terminal 2 for each risk category of the first category pharmaceutical, the second category pharmaceutical, and the third category pharmaceutical. Data relating to sales processing when turned on is stored. In the data for each risk category, a sales flag and a category symbol are stored. The sales flag is a flag for determining whether or not the drug of the risk category can be sold with the authority of the salesperson who has signed on. “0” can be sold, and “1” cannot be sold. It shows that. The category symbol is a symbol for identifying each risk category. In this embodiment, “A” is assigned to the first category pharmaceutical, “B” is assigned to the second category pharmaceutical, and “C” is assigned to the third category pharmaceutical. Assigned.

  In order for the salesperson to operate the POS terminal 2, the sign-on must be performed. In order to perform sign-on, first, a sign-on is declared by operating a sign-on key provided on the keyboard 31. FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a sign-on process executed by the CPU 11 after sign-on is declared in this way, and a process on the store server 3 side responding to the sign-on process. The sign-on process is executed based on a control program stored in the ROM 12.

  First, the CPU 11 receives an input of a salesperson code as ST (step) 101 (sign-on receiving means). The salesperson code can be input by operating a numeric key provided on the keyboard 31, or a bar code of the salesclerk code can be scanned by the scanner 35 and input.

  When the salesperson code is input in this way (YES in ST101), the CPU 11 generates a salesperson data inquiry command from the salesperson code input as ST102 and the register number unique to the POS terminal 2. , To the store server 3 via the LAN1. The cash register number is stored in advance in the ROM 12 or the HDD device 15.

  In the store server 3 that has received this inquiry command, the salesperson master 5 is searched with the salesperson code in the received command, and salesperson data (salesperson code, name, authority classification, etc.) of records having the same salesperson code is searched. ) Is acquired (ST111). Then, this salesperson data is returned to the inquiring POS terminal 2 (ST112). Also, the registration master 6 is searched for the registration number in the received command, and the status of the record having the same registration number is changed to sign-on (ST113). Further, the salesperson code of the salesperson data acquired from the salesperson master 5 and the authority classification are set in the record having the same register number (ST114).

  The CPU 11 of the POS terminal 2 that has transmitted the inquiry command waits for a response of salesperson data as ST103. If the salesperson data is received via the LAN interface 14 (YES in ST103), the CPU 11 stores the salesperson data in the responsible person registration area 41 as ST104 (sales qualification acquisition means). Thus, the sign-on of the salesperson is completed.

  The POS terminal 2 can perform registration processing when the salesperson sign-on is completed. That is, it is possible to register sales data of products sold as one transaction in the memory as sales data and issue a receipt on which the transaction details are printed. 9 and 10 are flowcharts of processes executed by the CPU 11 in the registration process. This process is executed based on a control program stored in the ROM 12.

  First, the CPU 11 forms a flag F in the RAM 13 as ST201 and initializes its value to “0”. In ST202, a subtotal memory is formed in the RAM 13, and the value is cleared to "0".

  Next, CPU11 judges whether the combination data of the cash register number and the transaction number were input as ST203. This combination data will be described later. If combination data has not been input (NO in ST203), CPU 1101 waits for a product code to be input in ST204. When a product code is input by scanning barcode input by the scanner 35 or key operation of the keyboard 31 (YES in ST204), the CPU 11 stores product data (product code) from the product master 4 based on the product code input as ST205. , Product name, unit price, risk category, etc.).

  If product data is acquired, CPU11 will judge whether the said product is an over-the-counter medicine by the risk classification of the product data as ST206 (product classification discrimination means).

  If it is determined in the process of ST206 that the risk category is “0”, that is, the product is not a generic drug (NO in ST206), the process proceeds to the process of ST209, and product sales data registration processing is performed. That is, the product code, product name, unit price and risk classification acquired from the product master 4 and the sales point (if a multiplier is entered immediately before the product code is entered, if the multiplier or multiplier is not entered) 1) A product data record is generated from the sales amount (unit price × number of sales points), and a sales impossible flag “0” indicating that sales are possible, and is registered in the transaction area 42. In ST210, the value of the subtotal memory is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount.

  On the other hand, when the risk classification is “1”, “2” or “3” in the process of ST206, that is, when it is determined that the product is an over-the-counter drug (YES in ST206), the CPU 11 performs the risk classification as ST207. To get. In step ST208, the salesperson refers to the authority determination table 51 based on the acquired risk classification and the authority classification of the salesperson data registered in the person-in-charge registration area 41. It is determined whether or not can be sold. Specifically, when the sales flag specified by the risk category and the authority category is “0”, it is determined that the sale is possible, and when it is “1”, it is determined that the sale is not possible ( Sales availability determination means).

  When it is determined that the sale is possible (YES in ST208), the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of ST209 and performs a process for registering the merchandise sales data. Also, proceeding to the processing of ST210, the value of the subtotal memory is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that sales are not possible (NO in ST208), the CPU 11 sets “1” in the flag F in ST211 and then performs registration processing for non-saleable data in ST212. That is, a product data record is generated from the product code, product name, unit price, and risk classification acquired from the product master 4, the number of sales = 0, the sales amount = 0, and the sales disapproval flag “1” indicating non-sale. And register in the transaction area 42. Also, as ST213, a message indicating that the product cannot be sold is displayed on the touch panel display 32 and the customer display 33 (for example, “the product just registered cannot be sold because there is no sales authority”). Display.

  Here, in the processing of ST208 to ST213, the sales data of the products determined to be sellable by the sales permission / inhibition determining unit among the products sold as one transaction are processed for sale, and the products determined to be unsaleable Is configured as transaction processing means for excluding the sales data from the sales processing.

  When the processing of ST210 or ST213 ends, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the subtotal key provided on the keyboard 31 is operated as ST214. When it is determined that the subtotal key has not been operated (NO in ST214), the process returns to ST204 again to wait for the next product code to be input.

  On the other hand, when determining that the subtotal key has been operated (YES in ST214), the CPU 11 displays the value of the subtotal memory in ST215 on the touch panel display 32 and the customer display 33 as the total amount of the transaction. Then, in ST216, an operation of a tightening key provided on the keyboard 31 is awaited.

  When the closing key is operated (YES in ST216), the CPU 11 issues a new transaction number for the transaction as ST217. For example, a counter area for transaction numbers is formed in the RAM 13, and a new transaction number is issued by counting up the value of this area by "1".

  If the transaction number is issued, the CPU 11 executes a tightening process as ST218. In this tightening process, the CPU 11 calculates the change amount by subtracting the total amount of the transaction from the deposit amount from the customer, and displays the change amount on the touch panel display 32 and the customer surface display 33. Also, a drive signal is output to the drawer opening device via the I / O port 16 to open the drawer.

  When the tightening process ends, the CPU 11 determines whether or not “1” is set in the flag F in ST219. When the over-the-counter drugs that cannot be sold are included in the transaction, “1” is not set in the flag F. In this case (NO in ST217), the CPU 11 executes a normal receipt issuance process as ST220 and ends the current registration process. The normal receipt issuing process will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the over-the-counter drugs that cannot be sold are included in the transaction, “1” is set in the flag F. In this case (YES in ST219), the CPU 11 searches for a POS terminal that is signed on by a salesperson who has sales qualifications for over-the-counter drugs that are determined not to be sold in ST221, that is, a so-called saleable cashier (saleable cashier search means).

  Specifically, the authority determination table 51 is referred to by the risk classification of the record in which the sales prohibition flag is set to “1” among the data records registered in the transaction area 42, and the sales flag corresponding to the risk classification is recorded. Gets the authority classification with "0". That is, when the risk category is “1”, “1” is acquired as the authority category, and when the risk category is “2” or “3”, “1” or “2” is acquired as the authority category. Then, the cashier master 6 managed by the store server 3 is accessed, and the cashier number and cashier name in which the acquired authority classification is set are obtained. The POS terminal 2 installed at the cash register (accounting place) specified by the cash register number and the cash register name is signed by a salesperson who has the sales qualification of an over-the-counter drug that is determined to be unsaleable.

  Thus, when detecting another POS terminal 2 signed by a salesperson who has sales qualifications determined to be unsaleable, the CPU 11 guides the customer to the cash register where the POS terminal 2 is installed as ST222. Three patterns of messages for display, a message for voice output and a message for printing are generated. Then, a display message (for example, “the medicine XXX purchased by the customer cannot be sold at this cash register. Please purchase at the cash register with the cash register number nnn”) is displayed on the customer display 33. Then, a voice output message is output from the speaker 36 by voice and notified to the customer (sellable cashier notification means). In the example of the display message, XXX contains the product name of the medicine determined to be unsaleable, and nnn contains the register number acquired from the register master 6.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 performs an unsaleable receipt issuance process in ST223. Further, a cash register No set in advance as ST 224, a transaction No. issued in the process of ST 217, and transaction data composed of each product data record in the transaction area 42 are transmitted to the store server 3, and the sale impossible information Store in the storage unit 7 (non-saleable transaction storage means). The CPU 11 ends the registration process.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the processing executed by the CPU 11 in the unsaleable receipt issue processing in ST223. This process is executed based on a control program stored in the ROM 12.

  First, the CPU 11 forms a working memory area for issuing a receipt in the RAM 13 in ST301, and adds header information such as a header portion, a transaction date, and a registration number to the print data in the working memory area. The header portion is made up of a predetermined graphic or commercial information of a store, and is stored in the ROM 12 or the HDD device 15 in advance. The transaction date is acquired from a clock unit included in the POS terminal 2.

  Next, CPU11 acquires a merchandise data record from the transaction area 42 sequentially from the head as ST302. Then, every time the product data record is acquired, the CPU 11 checks the sale impossible flag of this product data record as ST303. Here, when the sale impossible flag is “0”, since the product data record is product sales data, the CPU 11 adds the product name and price (sales amount) of the product data record to the print data in ST304. On the other hand, if the sale impossible flag is “1”, the product data record is not saleable data, so the CPU 11 determines the product name of this product data record and a predetermined sale unavailable mark (for example, “¥ —”) as ST305. Are added to the print data. In ST304 or ST305, when the risk classification of the product data record is not “0”, the authority determination table 51 is searched by the risk classification to obtain the corresponding classification symbol, and the print data of the classification symbol is used as the commodity data. Add to the front of the name.

  When the process of ST304 or ST305 ends, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the next product data record is stored in the transaction area 42 as ST306. If the next product data record is stored, the process returns to ST302, and the processes of ST302 to ST306 are executed again.

  Thus, if the processing of ST302 to ST306 is executed for all the product data records stored in the transaction area 42 (NO in ST306), the CPU 11 performs the total amount, deposit amount and change processed in ST218 as ST307. Add forehead closing data to print data. In addition, the salesperson code and authority classification registered in the responsible person registration area 41 as ST307 and the transaction number acquired in the process of ST217 are added to the print data.

  Next, the CPU 11 adds cut line data to the print data in ST309. This cut line data is stored in advance in the ROM 12 or the HDD device 15. After that, the CPU 11 adds a print message for guiding to the saleable cash register created in the process of ST222 in ST310 to the print data.

  Next, CPU11 creates the barcode of the data which combined the register number and the transaction number as ST311. For example, if the register number is nnn and the transaction number is mmmm, the combination data is nnnmmmm. The cash register number nnn is a number unique to each POS terminal 2. On the other hand, the transaction number mmmm is a unique number for transactions processed by one POS terminal 2. Therefore, the data nnnmmmm that combines the cash register number nnn and the transaction number mmmm functions as a transaction identifier that can individually identify all transactions processed by each POS terminal 2. In step ST312, the CPU 11 adds a barcode of data nnnmmmmm, which is a combination of the cash register number and the transaction number, to the print data (transaction identifier recording means).

  When the above processing is completed, the CPU 11 controls the drive of the receipt printer 11a based on the print data created in the work memory area for issuing the receipt in ST313, and issues a non-saleable receipt.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a printed example of the non-saleable receipt 60. The receipt 60 has a sign-on salesperson who is registered as a registered seller and has a registration number “Registration # 001”. This is printed and issued when a customer who purchases a headache medicine, which is a similar medicine, and a gastrointestinal medicine, which is a first medicine, applies for accounting.

  That is, a salesperson who has the qualification of a registered seller can sell the second-class pharmaceutical and the third-class pharmaceutical, but cannot sell the first-class pharmaceutical. For this reason, the gastrointestinal drugs belonging to the first category pharmaceuticals cannot be sold and are excluded from the sales process. The receipt 60 is printed with the sale name 61 “¥ —” along with the product name “Gastrointestinal”. In addition, a cash register number 62 “cash register # 001”, a salesperson qualification 63 “registered seller”, a transaction number 64 “No. 1234”, and the like are also printed.

  In addition, a message 65 to the cash register that can be sold. “Gastrointestinal drugs are general drugs / first-class drugs and cannot be sold./ Since the sales authority is a pharmacist, please purchase at / cash register # 003 / cash register # 005 /. Is printed on the receipt 60. In the message 65, “/” indicates a line feed. In other words, in this printed example, the salesperson who has signed on the cashier of the cashier number “cash register # 003” and the cashier of the cashier number “cash register # 005” has the qualification as a pharmacist who can sell the first class pharmaceutical products. It is assumed that you are.

  In addition, the receipt 60 is printed with a barcode 66 of data “0011234”, which is a combination of the registration number “Registration # 001” and the transaction number “No. 1234”. Then, in the unsaleable information storage unit 7 of the server 3, transaction data including product data records stored in the transaction area 42 is stored in association with the combination data “0011234”. This transaction data includes sales data for each of antibacterial gauze, cosmetics, and headache drugs (non-sale flag = 0) and non-sale data for gastrointestinal drugs (non-sale flag = 1).

  Now, the customer who has received such a non-saleable receipt 60 goes to the register of the register number “REGISTER # 003” or “REGISTER # 005” printed on the receipt 60 and presents the receipt 60 to the salesperson. The salesperson scans the barcode 66 printed on the receipt 60 with the scanner 35. Then, since the CPU 11 of the POS terminal 2 performs the processing of ST201 and ST202 in the flowchart of FIG. 9, it determines that the combination data of the cash register number and the transaction number has been input in the processing of ST203 (ST203 YES), the sales restricted commodity accounting process is executed as ST221.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 11 in the sales restricted commodity accounting process. This process is executed based on a control program stored in the ROM 12.

  CPU11 acquires the combination data of a cash register number and a transaction number from the barcode read with the scanner 35 as ST401, and inquires the store server 3. In response to this inquiry, the store server 3 searches the unsaleable information storage unit 7 and reads the transaction data stored in association with the inquiry combination data. And it transmits to the POS terminal 2 of the inquiry origin. The store server 3 deletes the transaction data stored in the non-saleable information storage unit 7 when a certain period of time elapses. This takes into account the case where the over-the-counter drugs that are no longer available for sale are returned to the customer without purchasing them at another cash register. For this reason, even if it searches the unsaleable information storage part 7, applicable transaction data may not be acquired. In such a case, an error response is transmitted to the inquiry source POS terminal 2.

  The CPU 11 of the POS terminal 2 that made the inquiry waits for transaction data to be responded. If the transaction data is not responded for the reason described above, the CPU 11 displays a message indicating that the transaction is not possible on the touch panel display 32 and the customer display 33, and ends this process.

  When there is a response to the transaction data, the CPU 11 expands the transaction data into a product data record in the transaction area 42 as ST404. After the expansion, the CPU 11 sequentially acquires product data records expanded from the transaction area 42 as ST405. Each time the product data record is acquired, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the record is unsaleable data in ST406 (unsaleable product extraction means). When the sale impossible flag of the record is “0”, that is, the sale data is not sale unavailable data, the CPU 11 deletes the sale item data record from the transaction area 42 as ST407.

  On the other hand, if the sale impossible flag of the record is “1”, that is, the sale unavailable data, the CPU 11 acquires the risk classification from the sale unavailable data as ST408. Then, in ST409, referring to the authority determination table 51 based on the risk classification and the authority classification of the salesperson data registered in the person-in-charge registration area 41, the salesperson sells the product (general drug). It is determined whether or not it is possible.

  If it is determined that sales are possible (YES in ST409), the CPU 11 converts the unsaleable data into product sales data. Specifically, the sales score is converted from “0” to “1”, the sales amount is converted from “1” to the unit price of the data, and the flag is converted from “1” to “0”. In ST411, the value in the subtotal memory is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount.

  When the processing of ST407 or ST411 ends, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the next product data record is stored in the transaction area 42 as ST412. If stored, the process returns to ST405, and the processes of ST405 to ST412 are executed again.

  Thus, if the processing of ST405 to ST412 is executed for all the product data records developed in the transaction area 42 (NO in ST412), the CPU 11 uses the touch panel type as the value of the subtotal memory as ST413 and the total amount of the transaction. It is displayed on the display 32 and the customer display 33. Then, in ST414, the operation of a tightening key provided on the keyboard 31 is awaited.

  When the closing key is operated (YES in ST414), the CPU 11 issues a new transaction number for the transaction as ST415. And a fastening process is performed as ST416. When the closing process is completed, the CPU 11 executes a normal receipt issuing process as ST417 and ends the current registration process.

  Next, the normal receipt issuing process of ST220 or ST417 will be described. The normal receipt issuance process is configured by each process of ST301, ST302, ST303, ST304, ST306, ST307, ST308, and ST313 of the non-saleable receipt issuance process shown in FIG.

  That is, the CPU 11 first forms a working memory area for issuing a receipt in the RAM 13, and adds header information such as a header portion, a transaction date, and a cash register number to the print data in the working memory area (ST301). Next, a product data record is acquired from the transaction area 42 in order from the top (ST302). In this case, since all the product data records are product sales data (ST303), the product name and price of this product data record are added to the print data (ST304). If the process is executed for all the product data records stored in transaction area 42 (NO in ST306), the closing process data is added to the print data (ST307). Further, the salesperson code, authority classification, and transaction number are added to the print data (ST308). Then, based on the print data created in the working memory area for issuing the receipt, the drive of the receipt printer 11a is controlled to issue a normal receipt (ST313).

  The bar code 66 of the non-saleable receipt 60 shown in FIG. 12 is a POS installed at a cash register (for example, cash register # 003) where a first-class pharmaceutical can be sold because a salesperson having a pharmacist qualification has signed on. FIG. 14 shows a print example of the normal receipt 70 issued when the scanner 2 of the terminal 2 reads. In the receipt 70, the sale unavailable flag is set to “1” in the transaction data stored in the sale unavailable information storage unit 7 in association with the combination data “0011234” of the register number and the transaction number. Based on the merchandise sales data converted from the non-saleable data, the merchandise name and price data 71 of the gastrointestinal drug, which is a first-class pharmaceutical, is printed. In addition, a cash register number 72 “cash register # 003”, a salesperson qualification 73 “pharmacist”, a transaction number 74 “No.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, for example, when a customer who purchases a first-class pharmaceutical product applies for accounting at a cashier signed by a salesperson who does not have sales authority for the first-class pharmaceutical product, the cashier The POS terminal 2 processes the accounting for the products purchased by the customer excluding the first category pharmaceutical product, and notifies the customer of the cash register signed by the pharmacist for the first category pharmaceutical product. Further, a non-saleable receipt 60 on which a bar code 66 indicating combination data of a cash register number and a transaction number is printed is issued. The customer then goes to the cash register informed and presents a non-saleable receipt 60. Then, at this cash register, the accounting for the first-class pharmaceutical is processed only by scanning the bar code 66 of the non-saleable receipt 60. That is, at this cash register, it is not necessary to read the barcode attached to the first type pharmaceutical. In this way, the sales process can be smoothly processed while complying with the conditions imposed on the sales of the over-the-counter drugs.

  In addition, the unsaleable receipt 60 is printed with a unsaleable mark for the product excluded from the sales process. Therefore, the customer can accurately know information on which products cannot be sold from the information printed on the receipt 60 and which cash register can sell the products.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the barcode 66 printed on the non-saleable receipt 60 is not a combination data of a cash register number and a transaction number, but a bar code indicating a product code of a non-saleable product is printed. explain.

  In the second embodiment, a part of the non-saleable receipt issuing process executed by the CPU 11 of the POS terminal 2 is different from the first embodiment. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the process executed by the CPU 11 in the unsaleable receipt issuing process in the second embodiment. Steps common to FIG. 11 showing the same processing of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  As can be seen by comparing FIG. 11 and FIG. 15, in the second embodiment, the processing after ST310 is different from that of the first embodiment. That is, in the first embodiment, a bar code of data combining a cash register number and a transaction number was created in ST311, but in the second embodiment, a bar indicating the product code of the product for each unsaleable product in ST501. Create code. Specifically, the product code of the record in which the sale impossible flag is set to “1” among the product data records registered in the transaction area 42 is acquired, and the product code is converted into a barcode. Thus, if the barcode which shows the goods code of the goods for every sales impossible goods is created, CPU11 will add this barcode to printing data as ST312 (goods identifier recording means). Thereafter, in ST313, a non-saleable receipt including this barcode is printed and issued.

  Also in the second embodiment, a non-saleable receipt 60 including a barcode 66 is issued for a transaction including unsaleable products. Therefore, the customer goes to the saleable cash register and presents the non-saleable receipt 60 to the half salesperson. The salesperson scans the barcode 66 of the non-saleable receipt 60 (identifier reading means). At this time, the barcode 66 is a product code of a product that cannot be sold. Therefore, in the POS terminal 2, processing is performed in the same manner as when the barcode attached to the product is scanned, and only non-saleable products are accounted for.

  In the second embodiment, since it is not necessary to store and manage unsaleable information in the store server 3, the unsellable information storage unit 7 can be omitted. In the registration process shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 to 10, the process of ST224 can also be processed.

  Note that 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-described embodiment, the transaction identifier and the product identifier are printed with a barcode, but the form of the code is not limited to the barcode and may be a two-dimensional data code. When the barcode 66 printed on the non-saleable receipt 60 is used as the product code of a product that cannot be sold, when a plurality of non-saleable products are generated in one transaction, the barcode is used for each embodiment in the embodiment that employs the barcode. However, in the embodiment adopting the two-dimensional data code, since a plurality of product codes can be included in one code, the code printing area can be reduced. That is, there is an advantage that the receipt paper can be saved.

  In the above embodiment, the unsaleable mark is “¥-”, but it goes without saying that the unsellable mark is not limited to this. For example, “not for sale” may be specified on the 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.
