However, since the canceled transaction data is not printed, even if the journal 37 is visually recognized at the store, the canceled transaction data cannot be confirmed later.

As shown in FIG. 8, when transaction data is immediately converted into receipt data and journal data and sequentially printed, the canceled transaction data can be confirmed in the journal 35. In this case, Since the transaction data having the same content is printed again and modified by a line or the like, the confirmation of the content of the canceled transaction data is complicated and the consumption of the recording paper 31 increases, which is not preferable. In addition, the receipt 34 on which the transaction data and the cancellation data that have been subjected to the cancellation processing are printed has a complicated content confirmation and a poor appearance.

[0015]

A data input means for inputting various data is provided, and a data registration means for executing a registration process based on the input data of the data input means is provided.

And the RAM 15 and the processing procedure of step T8 described later.

In such a configuration, the program control when a sales operation is performed by the apparatus 1 will be sequentially described in detail below based on the flowcharts illustrated in FIGS. As illustrated in FIG. 5, whether the closing process is started by inputting a closing key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 (step S1), an input operation of a product key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 or a Whether to start the registration process by reading a bar code or the like (step S2) or to start the cancellation process by inputting a cancel key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 (step S3) is repeatedly determined. For example, when a customer brings a product desired to be purchased to the sales floor, a clerk who visually recognizes the product starts reading the barcode of the product with the touch scanner 5 or the like.

When the start of the registration process is detected in step S2, the product data is read out from the PLU table 19 of the RAM 15 with the input product code and displayed on the display 6 (step S4). Then, the registration process is executed by storing it in the storage device (step S5). At this time, in the registration process in step S5, transaction data including a name, a unit price, and the like is also generated based on the product data.
As illustrated in (a), the generated transaction data is added with a print flag of “1” indicating a registration process and is stored in the RAM.
15 in the memory area 21 (step S
6).

When step S6 is completed,
Since the process returns to the initial state and repeats steps S1 to P3, the clerk usually repeats the input operation of the keyboard 7 and the touch scanner 5 for all the products that the customer wants to purchase, so that the steps S2 and S4 are performed. The registration process through S6 and the generation and accumulation of the transaction data are repeatedly executed. Normally, when the registration process is completed as described above, the closing process is executed and the sales business is terminated,
Before such a closing process, a canceling process may be executed due to an erroneous operation or a customer request.

When the start of the canceling process is detected in step S3, the RAM 15
The corresponding transaction data is retrieved from the memory area 21 to determine the presence or absence (steps S7 and S8). If there is no corresponding transaction data, an error message is displayed on the display 6.
And then return to the initial state (step S
9). When the corresponding transaction data is detected in step S8, the transaction data is displayed on the display 6 (step S10), and then the cancellation process is executed in accordance with the input operation of the keyboard 7 (step S8).
11). The cancellation processing in step S11 is performed as shown in FIG.
As described above, the printing is executed by updating the print flag of the transaction data stored in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15 from “1” to “9” (step S12). Returns to the initial state and repeats steps S1 to S3.

The apparatus 1 which has detected the start of the closing process in step S3 displays and outputs the total amount of the merchandise data temporarily stored in the work area 24 of the RAM 15 (step S13), and the sales data is represented by the total amount. The closing process is executed by generating the information and storing it in the sales file 22 (step S14). In the closing process executed in step S14, as shown in FIG. 4C, a printing flag of "2" is added to the closing data such as the total amount and tax and stored in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15. Therefore (step S15), the receipt 32 is issued and the journal 33 is formed by the printing process based on the data stored in the memory area 21 (step S1).
6).

The printing process will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This printing process
The storage data in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15 is sequentially read, and it is repeatedly determined whether the print flag is "1", "9", "2" or "0" (steps T1 to T
4) If it is detected in step T1 that the print flag is "1", this transaction data has been subjected to normal registration processing. Edit processing is performed (step T5). When the step T5 is completed, the process returns to the initial state. By repeating the steps T1 and T5, normal transaction data is edited into receipt data and journal data.

If it is detected in step T2 that the print flag is "9", this transaction data has been canceled, so that this is not edited into the receipt data. The editing process is performed only on the journal data (step T6). At this time, in this step T6, when the canceled transaction data is edited into journal data, a shading process which is set in advance as an easily identifiable printing form is executed. When it is completed, it returns to the initial state.

If it is detected in step T3 that the print flag is "2", the stored data is the closing data, which is edited into receipt data and journal data. Then, it returns to the initial state (step T7).

If it is detected in step T4 that the print flag is "0", it means that the storage data requiring print output has been completed, and the edited receipt data and journal data are stored in the R / R. The J printer 2 prints out the recording paper 31 to issue the receipt 32 and forms the journal 33 (step T8).

By performing such processing, the transaction data can be canceled before the closing processing as in the related art. The contents of the receipt 32 to be issued are easy to confirm because the transaction data is edited according to the product classification and the like, and the appearance of the receipt 32 is good because the canceled transaction data is deleted. In the journal 33, since the transaction data is also edited according to the product classification and the like, it is easy to confirm the contents. The canceled transaction data is shaded and printed out, so that the normal transaction data is output. Can be easily identified as a display mode different from the display mode, and the content can be confirmed.

In this embodiment, as a printing form of the data adding means for making it easy to distinguish the canceled transaction data from the ordinary transaction data, a transaction in which the canceled transaction data is added without deleting the canceled transaction data is used. Although the execution of the shading display process only on the data has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, it is possible to delete only the transaction data that has been canceled for the normal printing of the normal transaction data. Without reverse printing, displaying only the canceled transaction data by enclosing it in a line frame and displaying it, or adding parentheses, one of the normal transaction data and the canceled transaction data It is also possible to print on the right half of the recording paper 31 and print the other half on the left half.

[0036]

According to the present invention, as described above, the canceled transaction data can be deleted, a good-looking receipt can be issued, and the canceled transaction data can be easily printed out on a journal. Therefore, the receipt issued to the customer has a good appearance, and the journal has an effect that the canceled transaction data can be easily understood and confirmed.
