Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus formed so that a normal sales price of a product can be read from a label code attached to the product and can be registered using the read normal sales price.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, an electronic cash register type merchandise sales data processing apparatus that forms a POS system alone or with a host device connected so as to be capable of data communication has a merchandise registration function, an accounting function, and the like.
[0003]
The product registration function is started when a product code using a data input means (scanner or the like) is input by an operator. That is, the control unit obtains product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the input product code with reference to the product file, and stores sales data including the number of items keyed in if necessary in the sales file (product register.
[0004]
When the product registration is completed for all the products purchased by the customer, the accounting function is executed. That is, a closing operation as one transaction end declaration is performed using a closing key on the keyboard. If necessary, credit card data is read and input by a card reader, and in the case of cash settlement, the deposit amount is keyed. Thus, the control unit performs accounting processing including calculation of the total amount, change amount, and the like. Transaction data including accounting data relating to this is displayed on a display, printed on receipt paper, and a receipt is issued later. The drawer is also automatically opened. Thereafter, the receipt is handed over to the customer along with the change. The customer will be checked out.
[0005]
By the way, there is a case in which the setting change of the product data in the product file is troublesome and the time delay is large in some products, and it may not be in time for sales. Therefore, these products are configured such that the normal sales price can be directly read from the label code attached to the product together with the product code of the product, and the product can be registered using the read normal sales price. These products are called so-called NON-PLU products. Among the NON-PLU products, there is a weight selling product whose normal selling price is determined by weight.
[0006]
In addition, in the case where the customer is a member of the store, a member-preferred sale for selling at a discount is made. In other words, it is sold at a member preferential selling price obtained by subtracting a certain discount amount from the normal selling price of the product or subtracting a discount amount multiplied by a certain discount rate.
[0007]
Here, in the FSP (Freak End Shoppers Program) so-called regular customer program, if the customer is a non-PLU product and the customer is a member, the discount amount that is differentiated uniformly from the read normal sales price to the member or by member rank It is constructed so that it can be sold at the member-preferred selling price minus the discount rate (including the case of discount rate).
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the member has a uniform discount amount (for example, 20 yen) or a discount amount (for example, 30 yen, 20 yen, 10 yen) according to the member rank (for example, rank H, M, L) is constant, The unit price per unit weight that can be enjoyed by customers regardless of whether they purchase heavy selling products with high gram unit prices (for example, 100 yen / 100g) or low prices (for example, 50 yen / 100g). The discount amount is the same (for example, 20 yen).
[0009]
Here, there is an idea that it is preferable to differentiate the member discounts depending on the purchase amount from the sales strategy such as store individualization. In other words, it is the idea that preferential treatment for regular customers with a large total purchase price can improve business results.
[0010]
Thus, if this differentiation is thoroughly carried out, the present applicant presumes that there will be a demand for differentiation in terms of the sales unit price per unit weight for weight selling products. In other words, the discount price of a heavy-selling product whose unit sales price (gram unit price) per unit weight is high (for example, 100 yen / 100 g) is set to a high price (for example, 30 yen), and the normal unit price per unit weight is low (for example, For example, it is considered that there is a demand for a discount (for example, 20 yen) for a discount price of a heavy selling product that is 80 yen / 100 g).
[0011]
An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that can perform a member preferential discount process for a weight-sold product as a discount amount proportional to the unit weight per unit weight of the product.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a merchandise sales data processing apparatus configured to be able to read a normal selling price of a merchandise from a label code attached to the merchandise and to be able to register a merchandise using the read normal selling price. It is possible to determine whether or not the product is a weight sale product when reading the normal selling price, and when it is determined that the product is a weight sale product and the customer is a member, the product weight and unit This is a product sales data processing device formed so that the member preferential sales price of the product can be calculated using the unit weight per-member preferential unit price, which is a unit preferential price per weight.
[0013]
In this invention, when the normal sales price is read from the label code attached to the product, it is determined whether or not the read product is a weight sale product. When it is determined that the product is a weight sale product and the customer is a member, the product preferential sale of the product is performed using the product weight and the unit weight preferential unit price that is a unit preferential price per unit weight. Calculate the price.
[0014]
Thus, it is possible to carry out discount sales processing by setting the discount amount of a product with a high gram unit price as a heavy sale product to a high amount and the discount amount of a product with a low gram unit price as a low amount. That is, the member preferential discount processing of the weight selling product can be performed as a discount amount proportional to the unit weight per unit sales price of the product.
[0015]
Further, the invention of claim 2 is formed such that the product weight can be calculated by dividing the normal sales price read from the label code by the unit weight per unit weight which is a unit price for normal sales per unit weight. Product sales data processing apparatus.
[0016]
In this invention, the product weight (4.5 g) is calculated by dividing the normal selling price (for example, 450 yen) read from the label code by the unit price per unit weight (for example, 100 yen / 100 g).
[0017]
Therefore, in addition to being able to achieve the same operational effects as in the case of the invention of claim 1, the weight of the NON-PLU product, which is difficult to input and code and store, compared to the normal selling price of the PLU product. Therefore, the label code can be simplified and the creation process can be speeded up.
[0018]
Further, the invention of claim 3 is a product sales data processing device formed so that the normal sales price of the product can be read from the label code attached to the product and can be registered using the read normal sales price. , An identification code that can be used to determine whether or not the product is sold by weight, a normal unit price per unit weight that is a unit price for normal sales per unit weight, and a unit weight per unit weight that is a unit price for member preferential treatment per unit weight Whether or not the product is a weight sale product with reference to an identification code stored in the weight sale product table when the normal selling price is read from the label code. A normal sales price read from the label code when it is determined that the product is a heavy sale product and the customer is confirmed to be a member. The product weight calculation means for calculating the product weight by dividing the unit weight by the unit price corresponding to the unit weight stored in the weight sale product table, and the calculated product weight and the unit weight stored in the weight sale product table This is a product sales data processing apparatus provided with a member preferential sales price calculation means for calculating the member preferential sales price of the product by multiplying the preferential unit price.
[0019]
In such an invention, when the normal selling price is read from the label code, the determining means refers to the identification code stored in the weight selling product table to determine whether or not the product is a weight selling product. To do. When it is determined that the product is a weight sale product and a confirmation input is made that the customer is a member, the product weight calculation means stores the normal sale price read from the label code in the weight sale product table. The product weight is calculated by dividing the unit weight by the normal unit price. In addition, the member preferential sales price calculation means calculates the member preferential sales price of the product by multiplying the calculated product weight and the unit weight current member preferential unit price stored in the weight sale product table.
[0020]
Therefore, as in the case of the invention of claim 1, the member preferential discount processing of the weight selling product can be performed as a discount amount proportional to the unit weight per unit weight of the product, and the member confirmation input is performed in addition to the normal product registration operation. By simply doing this, you can calculate the preferential unit price of the current member and the preferential sales price of the member, and the NON-PLU product's weight, which is difficult to input and code and store compared to the normal sales price of the PLU product, is encoded and stored. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the label code and speed up the creation work and to handle it easily.
[0021]
Furthermore, in the invention of claim 4, even if the customer is the member, if it is determined that the product is not the weight sale product, the member preferential sale of the product regardless of the size of the product weight. The product sales data processing apparatus is configured so that the price can be calculated as an amount obtained by subtracting a uniform member discount discount from the read normal sales price.
[0022]
In such an invention, if it is determined that the product is not a weight sale product, the preferential sales price of the product for the member is the respective reading normal sales regardless of the product weight, even if the customer is a member. The price is calculated by subtracting a uniform member discount discount from the price.
[0023]
Therefore, in addition to being able to achieve the same operational effects as the inventions of claims 1 to 3, the member preferential sales price of a product that is not a heavy sale product is a uniform member preferential discount from the read normal sales price. Therefore, discount processing can be smoothly performed on products that are PLU products and NON-PLU products that are not weight sale products.
[0024]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 1, the product sales data processing apparatus has an electronic cash register 10 as a basic structure, a weight sale product table 19SFJ, a discrimination means (11, 12), a product weight calculation means (11, 12), and a member. Preferential sales price calculation means (11, 12) is provided, and when the normal sales price Kt is read from the label code attached to the product, it can be determined whether or not the product is a weight sale product, and the weight When it is determined that the product is a sale product and the customer is a member, the product preferential sale of the product is performed using the product weight W and the unit weight this member preferential unit price Ay that is a unit preferential price per unit weight. The price Ky can be calculated.
[0026]
In FIG. 1, an electronic cash register 10 includes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a scanner (SCN) 14, a keyboard (KB) 15, a display (IND) 16, a printer (PRT) 17, and an automatic opening type drawer (DRW) 18. , An interface (I / F) for data communication with the hard disk (HDD) 19 and the host device (store controller 20), and has a product registration function, an accounting function, and the like. Reference numeral 40 denotes a reader / writer for a membership card.
[0027]
The store controller 20, which is a host device connected to each electronic cash register 10 so as to be able to perform data communication, includes a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, a keyboard (KB) 26, a display (IND) 27, a floppy disk device (FDD) 28, and a hard disk. Each interface (I / F) for the data communication line 1 with the device (HDD) 29 and each electronic cash register 10 and for the data communication line 4 with the host computer 30 is included, and each electronic cash register 10 is managed collectively.
[0028]
The HDD (29) is provided with a customer file 29KF, a product data file 29SF, and the like. In this embodiment, the product data file 29SF is integrally formed with a product file 29SFG and a weight sale product table 29SFJ as shown in FIG. This is for the purpose of reducing the memory capacity and facilitating search. Further, the product data file 29SF (29SFG, 29SFJ) is downloaded to the HDD (19) on each electronic cash register 10 side, and the electronic cash register 10 is used by being expanded in the RAM 13 for use.
[0029]
That is, the product data file 19SF (product file 19SFG, weight sale product table 29SFJ) on the electronic cash register 10 side is a copy of the product data file 29SF (product data file 29SFG, weight sale product table 29SFJ).
[0030]
The customer file 29KF may be downloaded to the HDD (19) on each electronic cash register 10 side and expanded in the RAM 13 with each electronic cash register 10 so that the customer file 29KF can be used. Of course, each electronic cash register 10 can be constructed so that the customer file 29KF and the product data file 29SF (29SFG, 29SFJ) in the store controller 20 can be directly used. For example, it is used in the form of inquiry / response.
[0031]
Now, the product registration function of the electronic cash register 10 is performed as follows. That is, when a product code is input using the scanner 14 or the keyboard 15 (NO in ST12 in FIG. 3, YES in ST13), the control unit (CPU 11, ROM 12) copies a product data file 19SF in the store controller 20 (19SF). The product is registered using the product data (product name, unit price, etc.) obtained with reference to (). (ST15, STY16). Sales data (product name, unit price, quantity, etc.) of this registered product is stored (registered) in a sales file (not shown).
[0032]
Subsequently, for example, when the deposit / actual total key is pressed and a closing operation as one transaction end declaration is made (YES in ST27 in FIG. 4), accounting processing including calculation of the total amount, change amount, automatic opening of the drawer 18, etc. (Function) can be performed (ST28). The sales data is displayed on the display 16, printed on receipt paper by the printer 17, and issued as a receipt (ST29).
[0033]
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the weight selling product table 19SFJ has a product code (for example, “02123345000000”) and an identification code (for example, status... 0: normal, 1) for determining whether the product is a heavy selling product. : Weight), unit unit price per unit weight At unit price per unit weight At (for example, 100 yen / 100 g) and unit weight per unit weight unit price per member preferential unit Ak (for example, , 80 yen / 100 g).
[0034]
This product code (for example, “0212345000000”) includes a product code (for example, “0212345000000”), a product name [for example, “pork pack”], a unit price [for example, “450 yen”], and a member discount [for example, “20 Yen "] is used in common with the product file 19SFG for storing.
[0035]
The discriminating means (CPU 11, ROM 12) refers to the identification code (status) stored in the weight selling product table 19SFJ when the normal selling price Kt (unit price: for example, “450 yen”) is read from the label code. Then, it is determined whether or not the product is a weight sale product (ST18 in FIG. 3).
[0036]
The product weight calculation means (CPU 11, ROM 12) determines that the product is a weight sale product (YES in ST18 in FIG. 3) and receives a confirmation input (YES in ST10, YES in ST11, ST17) that the customer is a member. The normal selling price Kt (“450 yen”) read from the label code when it is formed is stored in the weight selling product table 19SFJ and is obtained in ST20 and ST21, and the unit weight-based normal unit price At (for example, “100 yen / The product weight W [4.5 g = Kt (450) / At (100)] is calculated by dividing by 100 g ″) (ST23).
[0037]
The confirmation input is an automatic input method by inserting a membership card (YES in ST10, YES in ST11, ST17), but may be formed by a manual input method by an operator, for example, key input.
[0038]
If the storage capacity of the label code is large or the input / storage time is long, the product weight is coded and stored in a part of the label code and the product weight is read simultaneously with the reading of the level code. It can also be formed. However, if the calculation method is formed as in this embodiment, the weight W of the NON-PLU product that is difficult to input and store compared to the case of the normal selling price Kt of the PLU product is encoded. Since it is not necessary to memorize, it is possible to simplify the label code and speed up the creation work.
[0039]
The member preferential sales price calculation means (CPU 11, ROM 12) stores the calculated product weight W (4.5 g) and the unit weight current member preferential unit price Ay (for example, stored in the weight sale product table 19SFJ and acquired in ST20, ST22) , “80 yen / 100 g”), the member preferential sale price Ky (= 360 yen = W (4.5) × Ay (80)) of the product is calculated (ST24).
[0040]
Further, the discount amount calculation means (CPU 11, ROM 12) calculates the discount amount Δ (90 yen = 450-360) by subtracting the member preferential sales price Ky (360 yen) from the normal selling price Kt (“450 yen”) ( ST25).
[0041]
The member preferential discount processing control means (CPU 11, ROM 12) uses the normal selling price Kt (“450 yen”), the member preferential selling price Ky (360 yen), and the discount amount Δ (90 yen). Processing (ST26) is performed. That is, the member preferential discount processing (ST26) of the weight selling product can be performed as a discount amount Δ proportional to the unit weight per unit weight At of the product.
[0042]
Even if the customer is a member (YES in ST10, YES in ST11, ST17), if it is determined that the product is not a weight sale product (NO in ST18), the product weight W is related to the magnitude. First, the member preferential sales price Ky of the product is calculated as an amount (430 yen = 450-20) obtained by subtracting a uniform member preferential discount amount (20 yen) from the read normal sales price Kt (450 yen) and The member discount process used (ST19) is performed. Therefore, discount processing can be smoothly performed for products that are PLU products and NON-PLU products that are not weight sale products.
[0043]
In the merchandise sales data processing apparatus (10) of this embodiment, when a member card is inserted into the reader / writer 40 (YES in ST10 of FIG. 3), the card validity is confirmed with reference to the customer file 29KF of the store controller 20. (ST11). The fact of confirmation is stored in the RAM 13.
[0044]
Here, when the operator (casher) reads and inputs the label code attached to the product (“pork pack”) using the scanner 14 (YES in ST12), the control unit (11, 12) includes the label code. The product code (for example, “0212345000000”) and the normal sales price Kt (for example, “450 yen”) stored in the storage are read and stored (ST14), and the product is registered (ST16).
[0045]
If the data read using the scanner 14 is only a product code (“02123345000000”) that does not include the normal sales price Kt (for example, “450 yen”) (in the case of a PLU product), the control unit ( 11, 12) refers to the product file 19SFG of FIG. 2 and temporarily stores the unit price (“450 yen”) corresponding to the read product code (“02123345000000”) in the RAM 13 (YES in ST13, ST15).
[0046]
When the normal selling price Kt is read from the label code, the discriminating means (11, 12) refers to the identification code (status (“1”)) stored in the weight selling product table 19SFJ of FIG. It is determined that the product is a weight sale product (YES in ST18).
[0047]
When it is determined by the determination means (11, 12) that the product is a weight sale product and a confirmation input that the customer is a member is made (YES in ST11, ST17), the product weight calculation means ( 11, 12) divides the normal selling price Kt (450 yen) read from the label code by the unit weight equivalent normal unit price At (100 yen / 100 g) stored in the weight selling product table 19SFJ, and the product weight W (4.5 g) is calculated (ST20 to ST23 in FIG. 4).
[0048]
Subsequently, the member preferential sales price calculation means (11, 12) multiplies the calculated product weight W and the unit weight current member preferential unit price Ay (80 yen / 100 g) stored in the weight sale product table 19SFJ to obtain the product. The member preferential sales price Ky (360 yen) is calculated (ST24).
[0049]
Therefore, the member preferential discount processing (ST26) of the weight selling product can be performed as a discount proportional to the unit unit weight At normal unit price At of the product, and the normal product registration operation (YES in ST12 of FIG. 3, YES in ST13). In addition, the member weight preferential unit price Ay and the member preferential sales price Ky can be calculated simply by inputting the member confirmation (YES in ST10 in FIG. 3, ST11), compared with the case of the normal sales price At of the PLU product. Since it is not necessary to code and store the weight W of the NON-PLU product that is difficult to input and store, the label code can be simplified and the creation work can be speeded up and handled easily.
[0050]
The discount amount Δ (90 yen) is also calculated by the discount amount calculation means (11, 12) (ST25 in FIG. 4). This is for printing on the receipt (ST29).
[0051]
In the closing operation (YES in ST27 in FIG. 4), a transaction process (ST28) is performed, and a receipt is printed and issued (ST29). Further, the customer file 29KF on the store controller 20 side is updated (ST30). A history such as the purchase amount is accumulated and stored.
[0052]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the normal sales price is read from the label code, it is determined that the product is a heavy sale product and the customer is a member. Because the product sales data processing device is configured to calculate the member preferential sales price of the product using the unit price, the member preferential discount of the weight sale product as a discount proportional to the normal unit price per unit weight of the product Can process.
[0053]
Further, according to the invention of claim 2, since the product weight is formed so as to be calculated by dividing the normal selling price read from the label code by the unit price per unit weight, the case of the invention of claim 1 and In addition to having the same effect, there is no need to code and store the weight of NON-PLU products that are difficult to input and code and store compared to the normal selling price of PLU products. It is possible to simplify the label code and speed up the creation work.
[0054]
Further, according to the invention of claim 3, when a weight selling product table, a discriminating unit, a product weight calculating unit and a member preferential sales price calculating unit are provided, it is discriminated that the product is a heavy selling product and the customer is a member. Since the merchandise sales data processing apparatus is formed so that the merchandise preferential sales price of the merchandise can be calculated using the merchandise weight and the unit weight unit price of the member, the merchandise sales data processing apparatus is the same as in the case of the invention of claim 1. The member preferential discount processing of weight selling products can be performed as a discount proportional to the normal unit price per unit weight, and the unit weight preferential unit price and member preferential sales price can be obtained simply by entering the member confirmation in addition to the normal product registration operation. Since it is not necessary to code and store the weight of the NON-PLU product that is difficult to input and code and store compared to the normal selling price of the PLU product. Hakare simplifying and making work faster bell code and is simple to handle.
[0055]
Further, according to the invention of claim 4, when the customer is a member and not a weight selling product, the member preferential selling price of the product is obtained by subtracting a uniform member preferential discount from the read normal selling price. Since it is formed so that it can be calculated, the same effects as those of the inventions of claims 1 to 3 can be obtained, and in addition, the member preferential sales price is read from the normal sales price, and the member preferential discount amount. Therefore, discount processing can be smoothly performed on products that are PLU products and NON-PLU products that are not weight sale products.
