  The scanner unit 18 reads code information (for example, a barcode) attached to a product to be purchased or code information written on a product catalog or a product order sheet. The scanner unit 18 may be a reading device that reads not only a barcode but also a two-dimensional code, for example. The printing unit 19 is a printer device that prints and outputs a description of a product to be purchased as various forms (receipts). The drawer 30 is a storage unit that stores banknotes and money received from a customer, and is pulled out in the direction of arrow A in FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the POS register 3. In FIG. 3, blocks corresponding to the configuration shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the POS register 3 includes a CPU 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a display unit 14 with a touch panel, a key operation unit 15, and a customer display unit. 16, an automatic change machine 17, a scanner unit 18, a printing unit 19 (printing unit), a communication unit 20, and a drawer 30. CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13, display unit 14 with touch panel, key operation unit 15, customer display unit 16, automatic change machine 17, scanner unit 18, printing unit 19, communication unit 20, The drawer 30 is connected to each other via an internal bus and a communication line.

  The communication unit 20 communicates with the store controller 4. The ROM 12 stores programs to be executed by the CPU 11, GUI image data to be displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel, and the like. The RAM 13 is a memory that expands a program or work area read from the ROM 12. The product information table fetched from the store controller 4 is expanded in the RAM 13. The product information includes a product code and tax exemption type information in association with each other. Therefore, the RAM 13 is a tax exemption type information storage unit that associates and stores the product code of the product and the tax exemption type information indicating the tax exemption type of the product. Note that the tax exemption type information storage unit may be included in the ROM 12. The CPU 11 controls each unit other than the CPU 11 shown in FIG. 3 by executing a program read from the ROM 12.

  When the CPU 11 executes a program read from the ROM 12, the POS register 3 is divided into a product registration processing unit, a tax exemption designation receiving unit, a control unit, a determination unit, an error information output unit, a print control unit, Realize the function with the department. Further, the CPU 11 executes a program and displays a GUI image stored in the ROM 12 or expanded on the RAM 13 on the display unit 14 with a touch panel, so that a tax exemption designation key, a selection key, a receipt printing key, and a packaging are displayed. The functions of a list print key, an additional print key, a language selection key, and a summary report key are realized.

The product registration processing unit registers the product to be purchased based on the product code input by the product code input unit.
The tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt. For example, when the operator of the POS register 3 is presented with a passport by a non-resident who is a customer, the operator designates that the commercial transaction is subject to tax exemption by operating a tax exemption designation key described later. Further, for example, the tax exemption designation receiving unit may be a reading device that can read information stored in the IC chip of a passport in which an IC chip (integrated circuit) is embedded. In this case, the tax exemption designation receiving unit reads nationality information from the IC chip of the passport presented by the customer, and accepts designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt when the nationality indicated by the nationality information is not Japan.

  When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the control unit reads the tax exemption type information related to the product code input by the product code input unit from the tax exemption type information storage unit. The merchandise registration processing unit registers merchandise for each tax exemption type information (for example, general goods, consumables, and non-tax exempt goods).

  When the tax exemption designation receiving unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the determination unit displays the tax exemption type information related to the product code input by the scanner unit 18 or the key operation unit 15 in the RAM 13 and ROM 12. Or from the store controller 4 and based on the tax exemption type information, the tax exemption type (for example, general goods, consumables, or non-tax exempt goods) of the product corresponding to the product code is determined. That is, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the determination unit displays the tax exemption type information related to the product code input by the product code input unit. The tax exemption type of the product corresponding to the product code is determined based on the tax exemption type information.

  The error information output unit is configured to display error information when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, and the tax exemption type information read by the determination unit indicates a non-tax exempt product. Output. The error information output method is, for example, display on the display unit 14 with a touch panel. Specifically, the error information output unit causes the display unit 14 with a touch panel to display a message with the content “This product is not subject to tax exemption”. The display method may be, for example, message pop-up display. The error information output unit may display the error information on the customer display unit 16. Further, the error information output unit may output sound information in which the content of the error information is sound from a speaker included in the POS register 3.

  However, when the tax exemption designation receiving unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, and the tax exemption type information read by the determination unit indicates the tax exempted item (for example, general article or consumable item) The product registration processing unit performs product registration according to a tax exemption rule corresponding to the tax exemption type information. For example, the merchandise registration processing unit registers the merchandise so as to exempt the consumption tax when the total sales amount of the general goods on the same day exceeds 10,000 yen. Further, for example, the product registration processing unit registers the product so as to exempt the consumption tax when the total sales amount of the consumables exceeds 5,000 yen and is within a range of 500,000 yen.

  The print control unit causes the printing unit 19 to print the details of the product registered by the product registration processing unit on a paper medium (for example, receipt paper). The details of the product include, for example, the product name, price, quantity, tax exemption amount, and total amount for each product to be purchased. Specific examples of product details will be described later. For example, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the business transaction is tax exempt, the print control unit displays the details of the product, the purchase record slip affix specification, the purchase pledge affix specification And as a copy, the printing unit 19 prints each on a paper medium.

In addition, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the print control unit describes the details of the product corresponding to the consumable item and the transaction among the details of the product registered by the product registration processing unit. The number may be printed on a paper medium by the printing unit 19. The transaction number may be a barcode or a two-dimensional code. Even if one transaction does not reach the tax-exempt amount, if the total amount reaches the tax-exempt amount due to multiple transactions at the same store on the same day, it will be tax-exempt. For example, if you purchase a consumable item of 3500 yen (external tax) in the first transaction, this purchase amount is outside the range of tax exemption, so it will not be exempt, and the customer will include 3780 yen including consumption tax. Pay 8% consumption tax. After that, if this same customer purchases 2000 yen (external tax) consumables at the same store on the same day, the total sales will be 5500 yen (exceeding 5,000 yen), so the total sales will be exempted. It becomes. Therefore, this customer only has to pay 1720 yen, which is the total sales amount of 5500 yen minus the already paid 3780 yen. The POS register 3 associates the details of the product with the transaction number and stores them in the RAM 13 or the store controller 4, and by printing the transaction number on a paper medium, the sales amount from a plurality of transactions based on the transaction number. Can be extracted. Therefore, the POS register 3 performs tax-exempt accounting processing when it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the extracted sales amounts falls within the range of tax-exempt amount (exceeding 5,000 yen to 500,000 yen or less). .
In response to the customer's request, by pressing a predetermined key, the print control unit will send a statement or marking indicating that there is a willingness to add up later and transaction with the description of the product corresponding to the consumable item. You may make it print on a paper medium with a number.

  In addition, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the print control unit displays the details of only the products corresponding to the consumables among the details of the products registered by the product registration processing unit. The printing unit 19 may print on a paper medium.

  The division unit divides the product details according to the tax exemption type indicated by the tax exemption type information read by the determination unit. For example, the division unit divides the details of the commodity for each of general articles, consumables, and non-tax exempt articles. Alternatively, for example, the dividing unit divides the product details for each product type (classification). Alternatively, for example, the dividing unit divides the product details for each predetermined number of products in the product registration order. Then, the print control unit causes the printing unit 19 to print each detail of the product divided by the dividing unit on a paper medium for each detail. That is, for example, the printing unit 19 prints the details of a general article, the details of a consumable, and the details of a non-tax-exempt article on different paper media. Note that the number of pages and the total number of pages may be printed on each paper medium as, for example, “number of pages / total number of pages”.

  Note that the print control unit may print the details of the product divided by the dividing unit on the paper medium by the printing unit 19. That is, for example, the printing unit 19 divides and prints the details of a general article, the details of a consumable item, and the details of a non-tax-exempted article on a paper medium. The classification method may be blank or a division line, or may be information such as advertisement information or store information.

  The tax exemption designation key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for designating tax exemption sales. For example, the tax exemption designation key may be a key that is pressed at the beginning or during registration of a commercial transaction after the operator has received a passport from the customer, or pressed as a subtotal key when registering a product to be purchased. It may be a key.

  The selection key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for selecting each purchase record slip, purchase pledge, and copy form. When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the printing control unit displays the details of the product for the form associated with the pressed selection key on the paper medium To print.

  The receipt print key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for printing a receipt. When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the business transaction is tax exempt and the receipt print key is pressed, the print control unit displays the current total amount of the product details, A receipt indicating that the consumption tax is “0 yen” (tax-exempted) is printed on a paper medium by the printing unit 19.

  The packing list print key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for printing the packing list. When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the transaction is tax exempt and the packing list print key is pressed, the print control unit Information indicating the quantity for each product name is printed on a paper medium by the printing unit 19 as a packing list.

  The additional print key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for additionally printing the packing list. When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, and the additional print key is pressed, the print control unit displays the product details and the page number information indicating the number of pages. Are printed on a paper medium by the printing unit 19 as an additional packing list. The page number information includes, for example, the page number starting from “1” and the total page number as “page number / total page number”. The print control unit causes the printing unit 19 to print the page number information, for example, near the lower end or the upper end of the paper medium. For example, a “□” mark may be printed on the left side of the product name. Thereby, when checking the contents of the package, it is possible to use the mark by putting a mark on the “□” mark.

  The language selection key is a GUI key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel for selecting a language to be printed on the paper medium. As the language selection key, keys of each language (for example, Japanese key, English key, Chinese key, Korean key) may be displayed side by side on the display unit 14 with a touch panel, or the language selection key is pressed (tap). In such a case, a selection key for each language may be popped up on the screen of the display unit 14 with a touch panel. When the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the print control unit prints the details of the product corresponding to the consumable in the language associated with the pressed language selection key. The unit 19 prints on a paper medium. Alternatively, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the printing control unit displays the details of the product in the language associated with the pressed language selection key by the printing unit 19. Print on paper media. In addition, when printing the details as a record for the store, the print control unit prints the details of the product on a paper medium in Japanese. When the receipt print key is pressed, the print control unit causes the printing unit 19 to print the receipt on the paper medium in the language associated with the pressed language selection key.

  If the tax exemption designation accepting unit is a reading device capable of reading the information stored in the IC chip of the passport embedded with the IC chip, the tax exemption designation accepting unit designates that the commercial transaction is tax exempt. Upon receipt, the print control unit may cause the printing unit 19 to print the details of the product corresponding to the consumable item on a paper medium in a foreign language corresponding to the nationality read by the tax exemption designation receiving unit from the IC chip of the passport. .

  In addition, when the tax exemption designation accepting unit accepts the designation that the commercial transaction is tax exempt, the printing control unit gives the details of the product corresponding to the consumable item by the printing unit 19 in both foreign language and Japanese. You may print on a paper medium.
