Needless to say.

  The HDD 20 stores various control programs for operating the CPU of the control unit 30 in addition to the PLU file 21 and the journal file 22 described above. The control unit 30 functions as a search condition receiving unit 301, a journal search unit 302, a journal display unit 303, and a journal printing unit 304 by causing the CPU to expand the control program stored in the HDD 20 onto the RAM and sequentially executing the control program. Realize.

  The search condition receiving unit 301 receives a transaction number, which is identification information of a desired commercial transaction, from the user as a search condition for searching for a commercial transaction recorded in the journal file 22. Specifically, the search condition receiving unit 301 displays a display screen for receiving a search condition for searching for a commercial transaction recorded in the journal file 22 on the display 35 and receives a transaction number by an operation input using the keyboard 34.

  The journal search unit 302 searches for the commercial transaction corresponding to the transaction number received by the search condition reception unit 301 from the commercial transactions recorded in the journal file 22. Specifically, the journal search unit 302 searches the record that matches the transaction number received by the search condition receiving unit 301 with reference to the journal file 22. The information stored in the transaction number storage area 42a, the date / time storage area 42b, and the transaction details storage area 42c of the retrieved record is the transaction details of the commercial transaction that matches the search conditions received by the search condition receiving unit 301.

  The journal display unit 303 displays and outputs the transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 on the display screen of the display unit 35. The journal printing unit 304 prints out the transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 on a sheet by the printer 36. The transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 may be output by at least one of display output by the journal display unit 303 and print output by the journal printing unit 304.

In the search condition input area G1, a search start number input area K1 for inputting a start number of a transaction number related to a search target commercial transaction and an end number of a transaction number related to the search target commercial transaction are input as search conditions for the commercial transaction. And a search end number input area K2 for this purpose. The user operates the keyboard 34 to input the start number of the transaction number to be searched in the search start number input area K1, and input the end number of the transaction number to be searched in the search end number input area K2. By this input, it is possible to search for a commercial transaction corresponding to the end number input in the search end number input area K2 from the start number input in the search start number input area K1. When searching for a single commercial transaction, the same transaction number is input as the start number and the end number, so that a commercial transaction corresponding to the transaction number can be searched.

  Next, the journal search unit 302 reads the journal file 22 stored in the HDD 20 (S2), and searches for a commercial transaction corresponding to the transaction number accepted in S1 from the records stored in the journal file 22 (S3). Next, the journal display unit 303 displays and outputs the transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 on the display screen of the display 35 (S4). Therefore, the user can easily find a desired commercial transaction from among a large number of commercial transactions managed by the journal file 22 by setting the transaction number as a search condition.

  FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the display screen G. As shown in FIG. 6, in the search result display area G2, a transaction detail image G21 that is read from the journal file 22 and displayed for transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 is displayed. At this time, the journal display unit 303 arranges the transaction number at a higher position in the transaction details displayed as the transaction details image G21. As described above, when the transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 are output, the transaction number is placed at the top and output, thereby confirming whether or not the business transaction of the transaction number as the search condition is correctly searched. It is easy to do.

  Next, the control unit 30 determines whether or not a printing instruction has been given by operating the keyboard 34 (S5). This print instruction may be an operation of a print button in the operation button region G3 on the display screen G on which the transaction detail image G21 is displayed, as shown in FIG. When a print instruction is issued (S5: YES), the journal printing unit 304 prints out the transaction details of the commercial transaction searched by the journal search unit 302 on a sheet by the printer 36 (S6).
