JP4638450B2 - Transaction apparatus, slip generation method, and computer program - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a transaction apparatus, a slip generation method, and a computer program.

  Bills for transactions that occur between companies are billed together in units of one month, such as a monthly closing, but if the price of a product changes during the one month until the closing, the price at the time of closing is used. In many cases. However, in the conventional transaction apparatus, since the billing slip is drafted every day when billing occurs, the price when the billing slip is drafted is used as the billing slip. In addition, the monthly billing at the transaction device is merely a compilation of billing slips for the month, and no new price is quoted at that time. Therefore, if a price change occurs before closing, it may be possible to generate a value difference slip to reimburse the difference price, but this is a simple billing stack and actual monthly billing. Because the amount of money will not match, customers who request “accumulation of billing slips = monthly billing” handled cancellation of billing slips once generated and generation of rebilling slips by hand processing by hand. .

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 uses the billing amount of a medical product, the pre-publication price for a medical product whose sales date is before public announcement, and the post-publication price for a medical product whose sales date has been publicized. The calculation technique is described.
Patent Document 2 keeps a history of sales prices of products from the start of sales to the present, calculates the difference between the current sales price of the product and the past sales price, and according to each difference The technology to determine the refund amount for purchasers of past products is described.
Further, in Patent Document 3, after the start of sales, when the possible sales price decreases, the revised sales price is calculated. It describes a technique for returning the difference between the sales price possible price and the revised sales price to the purchaser.

The billing slip number information can identify the billing slip that has generated the retroactive slip data and use the billing slip number. The item information specifies a product whose sales price has been changed. The difference price information indicates the difference between the sales price of the product before and after the change.

Next, the operation procedure of the retroactive billing process in the transaction apparatus 1 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a processing flow of price change processing in the transaction apparatus 1.
First, information about the price change item, the changed sales price, and the period during which the sales price is applied are input by the input means 3 of the transaction apparatus 1 (step S110). The master management unit 6 writes the information input in step S110 into the price master in the storage unit 5 (step S120). When the input period information indicates the current date or a period including the date after the current date, the retroactive object selection means 71 of the slip processing means 7 stores the billing slip data stored in the storage means 5. Among the items, information on items whose sales price has been changed is included, and all retroactive billing slip data whose date information indicates the day after the previous billing closing date is specified (step S130). For example, in the case of closing at the end of the month, billing slip data including information on items whose sales price has been changed and information on the date of the current month is specified.

  The retroactive voucher generating means 72 generates retroactive voucher data for each of the retroactive billing voucher data specified in step S130 and registers it in the storage means 5 (step S140). Specifically, the retroactive slip generation means 72 assigns a retroactive slip number, information on the assigned retroactive slip number, information on the date on which the current date is set, the company acquired from the specified billing slip data, and Then, retroactive slip data is generated from the information on the billing slip number, the information on the item whose sales price has been changed, and the information on the difference price before and after the change of the item.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a processing flow of data transmission processing in the transaction apparatus 1. This data transmission process is started at regular intervals, and here, it is assumed to be a predetermined time once a day.
First, the slip transmission means 8 of the transaction apparatus 1 searches the storage means 5 and stores various slip data for one day generated after the slip data to be transmitted to the previous sales / accounting system 10 as slips. It is specified by the date information included in the data (step S210). Next, the billing slip generation means 73 of the slip processing means 7 determines whether or not the retroactive slip data is included in the slip data specified in step S210 (step S220).

  When the billing slip generation unit 73 determines that the retroactive slip data is included in the slip data specified in step S210 (step S220: YES), the following steps S230 to S250 are performed for each of the retroactive slip data. Do. That is, the billing slip generation unit 73 uses the information of the company, billing slip number, and item acquired from the retroactive slip data from the billing slip data stored in the storage unit 5 as a retroactive billing slip. Data is specified (step S230).

  Subsequently, the billing slip generation unit 73 creates red slip data for canceling the billing slip data for each of the retroactive billing slip data specified in step S230 (step S240). Specifically, red slip data is generated from information on the company, billing slip number, order number, date, and details acquired from retroactive billing slip data and information indicating a red slip.

  Further, the billing slip generation unit 73 creates black slip data that is billing slip data using a new sales price for all the billing slip data to be retroactively identified in step S230 (step S250). Specifically, the company, billing slip number, order number, date, item and quantity information in the details obtained from retroactive billing slip data, and the details of the billing slip data for items whose sales price has been changed The black slip data is generated from the information on the price of the item acquired from the above, the price information indicating the sales price after the change of the item, and the information indicating that the item is a black slip. Note that the price of the product after the change is calculated from the difference between the sales price indicated in the retroactive billing slip data and the sales price used in the billing slip data. The bill slip generation means 73 writes the generated black slip data and red slip data into the storage means 5.

  The slip transmitting means 8 connects all the slip data specified in step S210, the red slip data generated in step S240, and the black slip data generated in step S250 via the communication means 9. It transmits to the sales / accounting system 10 (step S260).

  In step S220, when the billing slip generation means 73 determines that the retroactive slip data is not included in the specified slip data (step S220: NO), the slip transmission means 8 determines those specified in step S210. Is sent to the sales / accounting system 10 (step S260).

  According to the above embodiment, when the transaction device 1 has changed the price of the product before the closing period of the monthly billing, the transaction device 1 can issue the billing slip issued using the price before the change since the closing of the previous month. Red voucher data to be canceled and black voucher data to be charged using the new price after the change are automatically generated and delivered to an external system such as the sales / accounting system 10 that requires daily voucher data. This is especially effective when the customer requests “accumulation of billing slips = monthly billing” or when the external system cannot associate which billing slip is canceled with slip data of differential price. .

  In addition, the above-mentioned transaction apparatus 1 has a computer system inside. The operation processes of the master management means 6, slip processing means 7 and slip transmission means 8 described above are stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, which is read by the computer system. By executing this, the above processing is performed. The computer system here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.

Further, the “computer system” includes a homepage providing environment (or display environment) if a WWW system is used.
The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line.
