DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus having a discount processing function for discounting a predetermined amount on condition that the purchase of a plurality of predetermined target commodities in one transaction is a condition for establishing a discount. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A merchandise sales registration operation using a conventional merchandise sales registration data processing device is performed as follows. The cashier inputs the product code related to the customer purchased product using a scanner or a keyboard. Then, the CPU searches the product data file, reads product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product code, and registers the product in the registration file. At the same time, the contents are displayed on a display and printed on receipt paper and journal paper. This input operation is executed for all of the merchandise purchased, and when a series of input operations is completed, a subtotal key is pressed to complete one transaction. Then, the total amount and the like are obtained, and these are also printed on the receipt paper. Then,
A change or the like is calculated by depressing the deposit / current total key, and accounting (payment) including money transfer is performed using the opened drawer. A receipt is also issued.

[0003] In many stores and the like, a service for discounting a predetermined amount when a predetermined plurality of target products are purchased within one transaction is set as a discount establishment condition, and when the discount establishment condition is satisfied. We are implementing. Such discount processing is known as so-called M & M sales processing or set sales processing. The M & M sales process is executed with a discounted condition for purchasing different types of target products for each established number, and the set sales process is executed with a discounted condition for purchasing (purchased) the same or similar type of target products for the established number. That is common.

[0004] That is, in the M & M sales process, a predetermined discount is discounted if the predetermined number of purchased products A, B, C, and D are purchased. On the other hand, in the set sales processing, for example, if seven products E are purchased, a predetermined discount amount is discounted.

[0005] For example, in the case of the M & M sales process, different kinds of target commodities, the number of each product to be established, and a predetermined discount amount (summary discount amount) Pm are previously set and stored in an M & M file forming a discount establishment condition file. The M & M sales target product in the product data file includes M & M No.
Is set and stored.

Here, when the commodity data (code) is input (YES in ST30 of FIG. 5), the CPU searches the commodity data file (ST31) and assigns the M & M No. to the commodity.
It is determined whether or not is stored (ST32).
M & M No. In the case of a product having no M & M No. (NO in ST32), the product is normally registered. Is an M & M sales target product in which is set and stored (YES in ST32).
Is the M & M No. of the M & M file. In the column, the number N
i (initially "1") is stored (ST34).

[0007] By repeating this, if the condition for M & M discount establishment is satisfied (YES in ST35), the CPU determines from the M & M file the total amount Pt for M & M establishment and the M & M discount amount Pt.
m (ST361), and the product unit price Pi from the product data file (ST362). Then, the apportionment calculation (Pmi = Pm × Pi / Pt) is performed to determine the number discount amount Pmi for each M & M target product, and this is stored (ST363). This individual discount amount Pmi
Will be used later in business analysis.

[0008] When the closing operation is performed (YES in ST37) when the input for all the products purchased by the customer is completed, the total sum of all the normal products and the M & M sales target products is calculated (ST38), and the receipt is received. Printed on paper. Then, a settlement process is performed. At this time, the summary discount amount Pm (for example, -2000 yen) for the M & M sales target product is also printed and issued on the receipt as shown in FIG.

Thus, discount sales can be smoothly performed by the predetermined M & M sales process without imposing a burden on the cashier, and customer service can be improved.

[0010]

By the way, the individual discount amount Pmi is obtained and stored by proportional distribution every time each product is registered (ST36 in FIG. 5). Therefore, when the discount service is performed extensively, there is a problem that the load on the CPU increases and the processing speed is reduced. Particularly, the fraction calculation process is prolonged depending on the M & M establishment total amount Pt, the M & M discount amount Pm, and each product unit price Pi, and this is particularly so. Also, from the relationship with these, M & M
It is very troublesome to specifically determine the discount amount Pm.

On the other hand, in the case where the products to be sold in M & M are, for example, bread A, bread B, bread C, milk D and salad E, the individual discount amount Pm by the proportional calculation method is used.
i may be managed. For example, if three shirts Aa, Ab, and Ac of the same type are purchased together,
There is a sales mode in which the price is reduced by 000 yen. As in such a case, although calculating the individual discount amount Pmi by the proportional distribution method is not compatible with commercial practice, the discount service is also increasing.

[0012] Further, in addition to the collective discount amount (-2000 yen) shown in FIG. 6, there is a demand that an individual discount amount Pmi for each target product is printed and issued on a receipt.

[0013] Here, an object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of performing a discount processing of a fixed amount for each target merchandise.

[0014]

A merchandise sales registration data processing device according to the present invention sets a condition for a discount to be established when a plurality of predetermined target products are purchased in one transaction, and establishes the discount at the end of the transaction. In a merchandise sales registration data processing device formed so as to perform a predetermined discount process on the condition that the condition is satisfied, in addition to the discount establishment condition, the product sales registration data processing device
A discount establishment condition file capable of setting and storing a common fixed-amount discount amount, a fixed-rate discount product determination unit that searches the discount establishment condition file and determines whether or not the input discount target product is a flat-rate discount target product, Discount amount determining means for determining each discount amount of the discount target product to be the same as the fixed amount discount amount set and stored in the discount establishment condition file when it is determined that the discounted product is the discounted amount product; A summary discount amount calculating means for calculating a summary discount amount for all target products from the fixed price discount amount and the number of discount target products is provided.

[0015]

In the case of the present invention having the above configuration, when product data is input, it is determined whether or not the product is a discount target product as before. If it is determined that the product is a discount target product, the fixed price discount product determining means searches the discount establishment condition file to determine whether or not the product is a fixed price discount target product. Then, the discount amount determining means determines the discount amount for each of the discount target products to be the same as the fixed amount discount amount set and stored in the discount establishment condition file. In addition, the summary discount amount calculating means calculates the summary discount amount from the number of discount target products and the read fixed price discount amount.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the merchandise sales registration data processing device has a configuration in which a plurality of terminal machines (electronic cash registers) 10A to 10N are connected to a higher-level device (file processor 30) via a data communication line 1. In each of the machines 10A to 10N, a discount establishment condition file (M & M file in this embodiment) 13M, a fixed-price discount merchandise determination means (11, 12), and a discount amount determination means (11, 12).
12) and a summary discount amount calculating means (11, 12) are provided so that a fixed amount of discount processing can be performed for each of the discount target commodities.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a terminal device 10A includes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a clock circuit 14, a communication circuit 19, a scanner (not shown), a keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16), and a display 21 (display control). A circuit 17), a printer 22 (printer drive circuit 24) and a drawer 23 (drawer opening device 25) connected via an input / output port (I / O) 18 and the like can perform product sales registration work.

In this embodiment, the discount processing of the terminal 10A is an M & M sales processing. For this purpose, an M & M file 13M as a discount establishment condition file is provided in a partial storage area of the RAM 13. 13F is a product data file that stores product data such as a product code, a product name, and a unit price. The discount processing status (M & M No.) can be set and stored for each product. 13R is a registration file.

The product data files 13F and M
& M file 13M includes a file processor 30 (C
Each data stored in the master file 33F is downloaded from the PU 31, the ROM 32, the RAM 33, and the communication circuit 34).

Each terminal machine 10A (10B-1B)
0N), regarding the M & M discount sales, the discount target product determination means (11, 12) and the discount information storage control means (1).
1, 12) and M & M discount establishment determination means (11, 12)
Are provided. That is, when product data (code) is input using the scanner or the keyboard 20 (YES in ST10 in FIG. 3), the CPU 11 searches the product data file 13F (ST11) to determine whether the product is set. Is determined, and if set, the product data is read and temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 13. Here, discount target product discriminating means (11, 12)
Is the M & M No. It is determined whether or not the item is an M & M sales target product based on whether or not is attached (ST12).

It is determined that the product is a product targeted for M & M sales (S
If YES in T12), the discount information storage control means (11, 12) operates, and the M & M file 13M shown in FIG.
The M & M No. shown in FIG. The discount information (for example, JAN1 = unit price 120 yen) is stored at (2) (ST14). At this time, the number Ni of the discount target products is stored as “1”.

Then, the M & M discount establishment determination means (1)
1, 12) are the discount establishment conditions (the number of established Ns =
It is determined whether or not the M & M discount has been established as compared with 2) (ST15). In this case, NO is determined in ST15 because Ni = 1. Then, when the next product (JAN12 = unit price 100 yen) is stored, Ni = Ns = 2, so that the processing (ST19) according to the conventional proportional calculation method is executed. Note that the M & M earned amount in FIG. 2B is a case in which the amount after the discount (180 yen) is set in this embodiment. However, the total M & M amount Pt (24
0 yen) or M & M discount amount Pm (40 yen). It is an optional matter.

Here, one of the technical features of the present invention, a discount establishment condition file (M & M file 13)

The discount fulfillment condition was met in addition to the discount fulfillment condition
A common fixed amount discount (600 yen, 4
00 yen). In addition, a flag "1" indicating that the fixed amount discount is set is set and stored in the status column. This is for search convenience. When this flag is "0", it is handled in the same manner as the conventional M & M sales processing.

Next, the fixed-price discounted product determining means determines whether or not the discounted commodity is a fixed-price discounted commodity.
6 is performed. That is, the M & M file 13M is searched to determine whether the flag “1” is set in the status column.

Further, the discount amount deciding means is the M & MN
o. Is determined to be a flat-rate discount target product (S
At T16 YES), the discount amount P for each of the products
means for determining c to be the same as a fixed amount (fixed amount discount amount Pc) set and stored in the fixed amount discount amount column.
It is formed from M12 and executed in ST17 of FIG.

The summary discount amount calculation means is formed by the CPU 11 and the ROM 12, and calculates the summary discount amount Pm for all of the discount target products from the fixed amount (Pc) and the total number (Ni) (Pm = Pm = Pm = Ni). Pc × Ni) (ST18).

Also, in this embodiment, the printer 2 is focused on that the discount amount determination processing based on the fixed amount can be performed at a higher speed than the conventional proportional calculation processing (19 in FIG. 3).
2 is formed from the line printer, and each time the fixed discount Pc is read (ST17), as shown in FIG. 4, the discount (−2600 yen) is displayed below the unit price of each product (for example, 2600 yen).
600) to be printed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When commodity data is input using the scanner or the keyboard 20 (YES in ST10 of FIG. 3), the CPU 11 searches the commodity data file 13F (ST11) and reads the commodity data. Then, the discount target product determination means (11, 1
2) is the M & M No. in the product data. It is determined whether or not the item is an M & M sales target product based on whether or not is attached (ST12).

It is determined that the product is a target product for M & M sales (S
YES at T12) and discount information storage control means (11,
12) is the M & MN of the M & M file 13M in FIG.
o. The information (JAN1 =
(A unit price of 2600 yen) is stored (ST14). Registration number N
i is set to "1" (ST13).

Subsequently, M & M discount establishment determination means (1)
1, 12) is compared with an M & M establishment condition (the number of establishments Ns = 3) to determine whether or not the M & M discount is established (S).
T15). In this case, it does not hold. Then, FIG.
If (A) JAN2 and JAN3 are registered, Ni = N
Since s = 3, the M & M discount is established (YES in ST15).

Here, the fixed-price discount merchandise discriminating means (11, 12) searches the M & M file (discount establishment condition file) 13M to determine whether or not the commodity is a flat-rate discount target commodity (ST16). In this case, since “1” is set in the status column, it is determined that the product is a target for a fixed price discount (YES in ST16).

Then, the discount amount determining means (11, 12)
Is determined as the discount amount Pc of each target product, and the discount amount (Pc = 600 yen) is stored in the rightmost column of FIG. 2A (ST1).
7). After that, the summary discount amount calculating means (11, 1
2) Using the discount amount Pc (600 yen) and the number Ni (3), the total discount amount Pm [2400 = 600 + 60]
0+ (2 × 600)] (ST18).

Thus, the tightening operation is performed (Y in ST20).
ES) and the total price of all the customer purchased products including the discount target product are calculated (ST21), registered in the registration file 13R and printed on the receipt paper (ST22).

Thereafter, a settlement process including money transfer is performed (ST23). As shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the summary discount amount (-2400 yen), the discount amount of each product (-600 yen) is printed on the receipt handed to the customer.

In the case shown in FIG. 2C, the discount is not established [Ns (3)> Ni (2)]. Description of the process (ST19 in FIG. 3) using the same apportionment calculation method as in the conventional example is omitted.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the discount establishment condition file 13M capable of setting and storing the fixed discount amount.
, Fixed price discount product determination means (11, 12), discount price determination means (11, 12), and summary discount price calculation means (11, 12). When it is determined, each discount amount of the discount target product is set as a fixed amount, and the collective discount amount Pm is calculated from the fixed amount Pc and the number Ni of the discount target products, so that the cumbersome processing of the conventional apportionment is reduced. As a result, the speed can be increased, the flat-rate discount processing can be easily performed, and the product sales mode can be further expanded.

Further, since the discount establishment condition file 13M is provided with a status column for setting a flag indicating whether or not the setting is stored, in addition to the fixed price discount amount column, it is possible to determine whether or not the product is a fixed price processing target. Searching is faster and easier.

Further, since the printer 22 is a line printer and there is conventionally no apportioning calculation, it is possible to print out and issue the discount amount for each product in addition to the collective discount amount on the receipt.
