Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to sales data processing devices and programs.

Conventionally, there is a so-called tax exemption system that exempts the consumption tax on the goods when selling the goods to non-residents such as foreign travelers at the export goods sales floor (duty free shop). The tax exemption system stipulates the types of goods subject to tax exemption and the range of amounts that can be exempted from taxation. For example, in Japan, the scope of tax exemption for consumables is stipulated to be 5,000 yen or more and 500,000 yen per person per day at the same store.

In addition, a technology that conventionally adds the amount of tax exemption products purchased by non-residents as the tax exemption amount, and executes tax exemption processing when the added tax exemption amount meets the standard amount to which the tax exemption applies. Has been proposed.

However, the conventional technique determines whether or not the tax exemption is within the applicable range based on the tax exemption target amount for one transaction. Therefore, for example, when a plurality of transactions are performed by the same non-resident during the same day, it may not be possible to determine that the above-mentioned upper limit per day at the same store has been exceeded.

An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sales data processing device and a program capable of executing a sales registration process of a product corresponding to the tax exemption system.

The sales data processing device of the embodiment includes a registration means for registering a product to be purchased by a customer, a determination means for determining a product subject to tax exemption from among the products for one transaction registered by the registration means, and the determination. Transactions with the first calculation means for calculating the first total amount by adding the amount of goods determined to be tax exempt by the means, and the acquisition means for acquiring passport information that can identify the customer from the passport of the customer. Refer to the storage unit that stores the history information that associates the date when the transaction was performed, the passport information acquired in the transaction, and the total amount of the tax-exempt products registered in the transaction, and today's date. For each of the search means for searching the history information including the same elements as the passport information acquired by the acquisition means and the history information searched by the search means from the history information for a predetermined number of days based on the above. The first total amount is tax exempt based on the second calculation means for adding the included total amount and calculating the second total amount, and the first total amount and the second total amount. It is provided with a determination means for determining whether or not it is within the applicable range, and a tax exemption means for executing tax exemption processing on the first total amount on condition that the determination means determines that the tax exemption is within the applicable range.

Further, the control program 261 executed by the POS terminal 2 of the embodiment may be configured to be provided by incorporating it in a ROM or the like in advance.

Next, the functional configuration of the POS terminal 2 will be described. FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration related to tax exemption processing of the POS terminal 2. By executing the control program 261 the control unit 300 realizes the passport information acquisition unit 301, the tax exemption processing unit 302, and the print processing unit 303 as functional units related to the tax exemption processing.

The passport information acquisition unit 301 is an example of acquisition means. The passport information acquisition unit 301 acquires the passport information read from the passport by the passport reader 27 in cooperation with the passport reader 27.

Specifically, the passport information acquisition unit 301 operates the passport reader 27 on the condition that the tax exemption process is declared by the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1. The passport information acquisition unit 301 acquires a predetermined character string read from the passport by the passport reader 27 as passport information.

The tax exemption processing unit 302 is an example of a determination means, a first calculation means, a search means, a second calculation means, a determination means, a tax exemption means, and a notification means. Under the control of the control unit 300, the tax exemption processing unit 302 executes the tax exemption processing for exempting the consumption tax on the goods.

Specifically, the tax exemption processing unit 302 refers to the tax exemption classification code of the product master file F1 and determines whether or not each product (registered product) for one transaction registered in the registration process is a tax exemption target product. .. Specifically, the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines which of the tax exemption categories the registered product falls under. Here, the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines a product whose tax exemption category is general goods or consumables as a tax exemption target product.

Further, the tax exemption processing unit 302 calculates the tax exemption target amount for each tax exemption category by adding the amount of the determined tax exemption target product (registered product) for each tax exemption category. Then, the tax exemption processing unit 302 holds the calculated tax exemption target amount for each tax exemption category in the RAM 33 or the like as the tax exemption target amount for this transaction (hereinafter, referred to as the first tax exemption target amount).

Further, the tax exemption processing unit 302 refers to the transaction history DB1 of the server 4, and selects the same elements as the passport information acquired by the passport information acquisition unit 301 from the history information for a predetermined number of days starting from today's date. Search for history information that includes. In the embodiment, based on the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3, the tax exemption processing unit 302 sets the history information for one day starting from today's date, that is, the history information whose transaction date and time is the same as today's date. From the inside, history information including the same elements as the passport information acquired by the passport information acquisition unit 301 is searched.

Further, the tax exemption processing unit 302 adds the tax exemption target amount included in each of the searched history information for each tax exemption category. Then, the tax exemption processing unit 302 holds the calculated tax exemption amount for each tax exemption category in the RAM 33 or the like as the tax exemption amount for other transactions performed on the same day (hereinafter referred to as the second tax exemption amount). ..

Further, the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines whether or not the first tax exemption target amount satisfies the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3 based on the first tax exemption target amount and the second tax exemption target amount. ..

Specifically, the tax exemption processing unit 302 sets the tax exemption target amount (hereinafter referred to as the third tax exemption target amount) by adding the first tax exemption target amount and the second tax exemption target amount for each tax exemption category. It is determined whether or not the set value of the value file F3 is satisfied.

In the tax exemption setting value file F3 of the present embodiment, the setting values for foods, beverages, chemicals, cosmetics, and other consumables are 5,000 to 500,000 yen per day. In addition, the set value for general goods (goods used for normal life other than consumables) is an amount of 5,000 yen or more per day.

Therefore, the tax exemption processing unit 302 executes tax exemption processing for exempting the tax on the first tax exemption target amount, provided that the third tax exemption target amount satisfies the above set value. For example, the tax exemption processing unit 302 executes tax exemption processing when the third tax exemption target amount for consumables is within the range of 5,000 yen to 500,000 yen. Further, the control unit 300 executes the tax exemption process when the third tax exemption amount for general goods (articles other than consumables used for normal life) is 5,000 yen or more.

In addition, the tax exemption processing unit 302 is based on the case where the third tax exemption amount for consumables exceeds the upper limit of the standard amount (500,000 yen) or the third tax exemption amount for consumables or general goods. If it is less than the lower limit of the amount (5,000 yen), it is judged that the tax exemption is not applicable. In this case, the tax exemption processing unit 302 suppresses the execution of the tax exemption processing and notifies to that effect. Specifically, when the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines that the third tax exemption target amount does not satisfy the reference amount, the tax exemption processing unit 302 notifies the display unit 22 by displaying an error.

Further, the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines whether or not the second tax exemption target amount satisfies the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3. The tax exemption processing unit 302 determines that the second tax exemption amount is less than the lower limit of the standard amount (5,000 yen), and the third tax exemption amount is the standard amount (5,000 to 500,000 yen in the case of consumables). If it is determined that the amount (yen, 5,000 yen or more for general goods) is satisfied, the third tax exemption amount will be exempted. In this case, the tax exemption processing unit 302 shall perform processing for refunding the amount of tax paid in other transactions, for example.

The print processing unit 303 cooperates with the printer 23 to print the breakdown of one transaction (settlement processing) on a receipt sheet or the like and issue it. Specifically, the print processing unit 303 prints the contents of the product information and the payment information of the product registered for sale on the receipt paper. Further, when the tax exemption process is performed, the print processing unit 303 prints the tax exemption amount for each tax exemption category on the receipt paper.

Hereinafter, the operation of the POS terminal 2 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 14.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the POS terminal 2. First, the control unit 300 determines whether or not a product code that identifies the product has been input via the scanner 25 (step S11). When the product code is input (step S11; Yes), the control unit 300 reads the product information corresponding to the product code from the product master file F1. Then, the control unit 300 executes the registration process by storing the read product information in the RAM 33 (step S12). The product information, points, total amount, etc. of the registered product are displayed on the product registration screen described later.

If the product code is not input (step S11; No), the control unit 300 determines whether or not the current account key for declaring the end of the transaction has been operated (step S13). When the current account key is operated (step S13; Yes), the control unit 300 executes a settlement process for calculating the total amount of the transaction based on the registered amount of the product and the product information (step S14). In the settlement process of step S14, the total amount including the taxed amount such as consumption tax on the goods purchased by the customer is calculated.

Subsequently, the print processing unit 303 issues a receipt by executing the print process by printing the product information, the payment information, and the like of the payment-processed product on the receipt paper (step S15). Then, the control unit 300 transmits the product information (transaction number, transaction date and time, cash register number, product code, unit price, points, etc.) of the product for which sales registration processing has been performed to the server 4, and trades the information as new history information. It is stored in the history DB1 (step S16).

The server 4 stores the received information in the transaction history DB1. Specifically, the control unit 400 of the server 4 stores the transaction number in the transaction number unit DB 11. The control unit 400 stores the transaction date and time in the transaction date and time unit DB 12. The control unit 400 stores the cash register number of the POS terminal 2 that has undergone the sales registration process in the cash register number unit DB 13. The product code, unit price, and points of the traded product are stored in the product information unit DB14.

If the current account key is not operated (step S13; No), the control unit 300 determines whether or not the tax exemption declaration key K1 has been operated (step S21). When the tax exemption declaration key K1 is operated (step S21; Yes), the control unit 300 executes the tax exemption process shown in FIG. 10 on the assumption that the tax exemption process has been declared (step S22).

Here, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure for tax exemption processing. First, the passport information acquisition unit 301 operates the passport reader 27. Next, the passport information acquisition unit 301 waits until the passport reader 27 reads a predetermined character string (passport number or the like) from the passport (step S31; No). Here, it is preferable that the passport information acquisition unit 301 causes the display unit 22 to display a guide screen (not shown) for prompting the reading of the passport until the passport reader 27 reads a predetermined character string from the passport.

The operator of the POS terminal 2 opens a page in which the matters related to the tax exemption system are described in the passport presented by the customer (non-resident), and holds the page on the passport reader 27. In response to this operation, the passport reader 27 reads a predetermined character string from the passport.

When a predetermined character string is read from the passport (step S31; Yes), the passport information acquisition unit 301 acquires the character string as passport information (step S32). Next, the control unit 300 displays the tax exemption product registration screen on the display unit 22 (step S33).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a product registration screen. In FIG. 11, the tax exemption indicator I displayed as “tax exemption” is displayed on the product registration screen G1. By displaying the tax exemption indicator I on the product registration screen G1 in this way, the control unit 300 notifies the operator that the transaction is a tax exemption declaration transaction. Until the tax exemption declaration key K1 is operated or the passport information is acquired, the product registration screen on which the tax exemption indicator I is not displayed shall be displayed on the display unit 22.

Returning to FIG. 10, the tax exemption processing unit 302 refers to the tax exemption classification code of the product master file F1 and determines which tax exemption classification each of the registered registered products belongs to (step S34).

Subsequently, the tax exemption processing unit 302 adds the amount of the tax exemption target product to the tax exemption target product (registered product) whose tax exemption category is general goods and consumables for each tax exemption category to obtain the first tax exemption target amount. Calculate (step S35).

Subsequently, the tax exemption processing unit 302 searches the transaction history DB1 of the server 4 for history information including the passport information acquired in step S32 and the transaction date and time is today's date. The tax exemption processing unit 302 reads out the tax exemption target amount for each tax exemption category included in the searched history information (step S36). Next, the tax exemption processing unit 302 calculates the second tax exemption amount for other transactions performed on the same day by adding the read tax exemption amount for each tax exemption category (step S37).

Next, the tax exemption processing unit 302 determines whether or not the first tax exemption target amount satisfies the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3 based on the first tax exemption target amount and the second tax exemption target amount, that is, It is determined whether or not the tax exemption is within the applicable range (step S38).

If it is determined in step S38 that the tax exemption target amount satisfies the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3 (step S38; Yes), the tax exemption processing unit 302 executes tax exemption processing (step S39). , Step S23 of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S38 that the set value of the tax exemption setting value file F3 is not satisfied (step S38; No), the tax exemption processing unit 302 does not execute the tax exemption processing and displays an error on the display unit 22 (step S38; No). Step S40).

For example, when the third tax exemption amount (first tax exemption amount + second tax exemption amount) for consumables exceeds the upper limit of the standard amount, the tax exemption processing unit 302 performs as shown in FIG. Error display. Here, FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of an error screen when the tax exemption target amount of consumables exceeds the upper limit value of the reference amount. As shown in FIG. 12, when the tax exemption target amount of consumables exceeds the upper limit value, the tax exemption processing unit 302 displays an error screen G2 as "The tax exemption upper limit value for one day is exceeded. Excess amount 80. It is displayed as "1,000 yen".

Further, for example, when the third tax exemption target amount for consumables or general goods is less than the lower limit of the reference amount, the tax exemption processing unit 302 displays an error as shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of an error screen when the tax exemption target amount of consumables or general goods does not reach the lower limit value. As shown in FIG. 13, when the tax exemption target amount of consumables or general goods does not reach the lower limit, the error screen G3 displays "The lower limit of tax exemption for one day has not been reached. Insufficient. Amount of money 1,500 yen "etc. is displayed.

When the clear key of the keyboard 21 is operated, the tax exemption processing unit 302 clears the error screen and proceeds to step S23 of FIG.

Returning to FIG. 9, the control unit 300 redisplays the product registration screen (step S23). Here, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the product registration screen G4 after redisplay. When the tax exemption process is executed, as shown in FIG. 14, the product registration screen G4 after the redisplay shows the tax amount as "0 yen" due to the tax exemption by the tax exemption process. Further, on the product registration screen G4 after redisplaying, the total displayed amount is set to the amount after tax exemption processing (the amount obtained by reducing the exempted tax amount). Further, on the product registration screen G4 after the redisplay, the characters "exempt" are displayed in association with the tax-exempt products, that is, the products that have been subjected to the tax exemption processing. If the tax exemption process is not executed, the control unit 300 displays the amount including the tax amount as in the product registration screen G1 described above.

Next, the control unit 300 waits until the current total key is operated (step S24; No). When the current account key is operated (step S24; Yes), the control unit 300 executes a settlement process for calculating the total amount of the transaction based on the registered amount of the product and the product information (step S25). When the tax exemption process is executed, the settlement process in step S25 is a settlement process for calculating the total amount excluding the tax amount without adding taxes such as consumption tax to the sold products.

Subsequently, the print processing unit 303 issues a receipt by executing a print process of printing the product information, the payment information, and the like of the payment-processed product on the receipt paper (step S26). For example, in the case of a tax exemption process, the printing processing unit 303 prints one purchase pledge, two purchase record slips, and one receipt. When the tax exemption process is executed, the print processing unit 303, for example, provides information indicating that the tax exemption process has been executed, the amount of the tax exemption, and the remaining tax exemption amount applicable today. You may issue a receipt printed with (upper limit of standard amount-third tax exemption amount) and the like.

Then, the control unit 300 includes product information (transaction number, transaction date / time, cash register number, product code, unit price, points, etc.) of the product that has been settled and information related to tax exemption processing (passport information, first tax exemption amount information). ) To the server 4 (step S27), and the process returns to step S11. By executing this step S27, the control unit 300 stores the information transmitted to the server 4 in the transaction history DB 1 as new history information. That is, the control unit 300 functions as a storage means. Even if the tax exemption process is not executed, it is preferable to send the information including the information related to the tax exemption process.

The server 4 that has received the product information and the like stores the received information in the transaction history DB 1. Specifically, the control unit 400 of the server 4 stores the transaction number in the transaction number unit DB 11. Further, the control unit 400 stores the transaction date and time in the transaction date and time unit DB 12. Further, the control unit 400 stores the cash register number of the POS terminal 2 that has undergone the sales registration process in the cash register number unit DB 13. In addition, the control unit 400 stores the product code, unit price, and points of the traded product in the product information unit DB 14. Further, the control unit 400 stores the passport information in the passport information unit DB15. Further, the control unit 400 stores the first tax exemption amount information for each tax exemption category in the general goods unit DB 16 and the consumables unit DB 17 as the tax exemption amount information.

In this way, the control unit 300 calculates the first tax exemption amount for each tax exemption category (consumables, general goods) of the tax exemption goods purchased in one transaction. Further, the control unit 300 determines the tax exemption based on the total value of the first tax exemption amount and the tax exemption standard amount in other transactions performed by the same customer on the same day (second tax exemption amount). Determine if it is within the applicable range. Then, the control unit 300 automatically performs the tax exemption process when it is determined that the tax exemption is within the applicable range.

As a result, the POS terminal 2 does not require the tax exemption registration operation at the operator's discretion, and can execute the sales registration process of the product corresponding to the tax exemption system. Specifically, the control unit 300 can determine whether or not the tax exemption amount of this transaction is within the tax exemption range based on the tax exemption amount of other transactions performed on the same day. It is possible to more reliably determine whether or not the upper limit value has been exceeded.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other embodiments, and various omissions, replacements, combinations, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.

For example, in the above embodiment, the history information having the same date as the date on which the customer (non-resident) transaction is performed is referred to, but the unit of the referenced date is not limited to this. For example, if the tax exemption system sets a standard amount (applicable range) for multiple days (5,000 yen or more, 500,000 yen or less in 3 days, etc.), the number of days to be referred to is changed according to this tax exemption system. You may. In this case, the history information for a predetermined number of days (for example, 3 days) based on the date on which the customer's transaction is performed may be referred to.

Further, in the above embodiment, the server 4 holds the transaction history DB 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and another device may hold the transaction history DB1. For example, the POS terminal 2 itself may be configured to hold the transaction history DB1.

Further, in the above embodiment, the transaction history DB1 is configured to store and manage the history information of transactions performed in the same store, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the transaction history DB 1 may store and manage history information of transactions performed at each store (for example, a chain store) in which the operating company is the same. Further, the transaction history DB 1 may store and manage the history information of transactions performed at each store where the operating company is different. In this case, the transaction history DB 1 (server 4) is connected to a network capable of communicating with each store.
