DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments and operations of the present invention will be sequentially described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0018]
FIG. 1 shows a system configuration diagram of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a POS terminal 1 reads and adjusts a bar code attached to a product. Here, a bar code scanner 11, a scan code reading unit 12, a code extracting unit 13, and a matching determination unit 14 are used. And confirmation message display means 15 and the like.
[0019]
The barcode scanner 11 reads a barcode (scan code 4) attached to a product.
[0020]
The scan code reading means 12 reads a barcode (scan code) from a label attached to a product by the barcode scanner 11. Here, as described in the lower part, the scan code 4 includes a manufacturer code, a product code, a C / D (check code), and the like.
[0021]
The code extraction means 13 extracts a manufacturer code, a product code, etc. from the read scan code 4. For example, in the 13-digit JAN code (manufacturer code 7-digit version), since the first 7 digits are the manufacturer code, this is extracted.
[0022]
Based on the code (maker code, product code) extracted from the scan code 4 by the code extraction unit 13, the matching determination unit 14 refers to the sales cancellation code file 21 of the store server 2 and registers it as a product to be canceled. It is to determine whether it is done.
[0023]
The confirmation message display means 15 displays a confirmation message (see FIG. 5) to inform the sales stop.
[0024]
The store server 2 is arranged in the store and controls the plurality of POS terminals 1, and here, a code to be canceled is registered in the sales cancellation code file 21 and registered in each POS terminal 1. The sales of the product corresponding to the code is canceled or the POS terminal 1 is charged for the product. The sales cancellation code file 21, the product master 22, and the like are included.
[0025]
The sales cancellation code file 21 is for registering information (manufacturer code, manufacturer's product classification code or manufacturer's product code), etc., regarding the product to be canceled.
[0026]
The merchandise master 22 is registered with prices related to merchandise.
The management console 3 registers a code related to the sales cancellation code file 21 in the sales cancellation code file 21 when receiving a notification about the sales cancellation target product (manufacturer, product classification, product) from the headquarters (not shown). The sale of products related to the registered code is stopped.
[0027]
Next, according to the order of the flowchart of FIG. 2, information (code) related to the sales cancellation product is registered in the sales cancellation code file 21 under the configuration of FIG. 1, and the sales cancellation product is stored in all the POS terminals 1 in the store. The procedure for canceling sales will be described in detail.
[0028]
FIG. 2 shows an operation explanation flowchart (registration) of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, S1 determines whether or not there is a headquarters instruction to stop handling. If YES, the process proceeds to S2. If NO, the process ends here.
[0029]
In S2, it is determined whether the specific manufacturer's products are collected, not the individual products. In the case of YES, since the products of the specific manufacturer are gathered and found to be an instruction to stop sales, the process proceeds to S3. On the other hand, in the case of NO, since it has been found that the instruction to cancel the sale of the individual item, the product master is updated for each single item (deletion of the code of the corresponding product, sales are canceled) in S9. At this time, when a product code instructed to stop selling a single item is registered in the sales cancellation code file 21, and the product code is registered in the sales cancellation code file 21 by reading the barcode of the product with the POS terminal 1. A sales cancellation message may be displayed to cancel sales and collect products.
[0030]
In S3, since it has been determined that the sale is instructed to be canceled for the product of the specific manufacturer in S2 YES, the administrator inputs the manufacturer code for which the sale is instructed.
