JP5122518B2 - Merchandise sales data processing apparatus and control program thereof - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus used for merchandise sales processing in a store that handles over-the-counter drugs such as convenience stores, supermarkets, and drug stores, and a control program therefor.

  Currently, over-the-counter drugs are sold at convenience stores, supermarkets and drug stores. An over-the-counter drug is one that has no significant effect on the human body, and is used according to the choice of a consumer based on information provided by a pharmaceutical person.

  The above-mentioned over-the-counter drugs are classified into three risk categories of Category 1, Drugs 2, and 3 according to Article 36-3 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. Class 1 drugs are those designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as those requiring special attention regarding the use of drugs that may cause adverse health effects due to side effects. Class 2 drugs are drugs (excluding Class 1 drugs) that may cause health problems that may interfere with daily life due to side effects, etc., and are designated by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare. A similar drug is an over-the-counter drug other than the first and second class drugs. Further, among the second-class pharmaceuticals, those requiring special attention are referred to as designated second-class pharmaceuticals, and are handled slightly differently from the usual second-class pharmaceuticals in the display of the product packaging.

  Sales of over-the-counter drugs will be described with reference to FIG. The rules in each risk category differ in terms of professionals and information provision that should be handled for sales. That is, the first category pharmaceutical can be sold only by a pharmacist, while the second category and third category pharmaceuticals can be sold by registered sellers in addition to the pharmacist. In addition, Class 1 drugs are obliged to provide written information at the time of sale, whereas Class 2 drugs are obliged to make an effort to actively provide information, and Class 3 drugs are actively provided. There is no provision under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. However, it is stipulated that information must be provided in the case of consultation from the purchaser in all of the first-class pharmaceutical, second-class pharmaceutical, and third-class pharmaceutical.

  Meanwhile, in conventional convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores, and the like, merchandise sales processing is performed using a merchandise sales data processing device such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal. The merchandise sales data processing apparatus accepts an input of a merchandise code by scanning a barcode attached to the merchandise using the attached scanner, acquires merchandise data such as a merchandise price based on the inputted merchandise code, and A product is sold based on the product data. Some merchandise sales data processing devices issue a receipt that prints a customer's signature column in addition to store information and transaction details when making a card payment with a credit card, etc., so that the authenticity of the transaction can be verified Is also known. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  As mentioned above, the store side is obliged to explain according to the risk category when selling over-the-counter drugs, but even if the store side has properly fulfilled the obligation to explain, it will later fulfill the obligation to explain to customers. There is a possibility that there will be disagreement over whether or not there is a problem and trouble will occur. In such a case, it is not easy to prove that the store has fulfilled its accountability. Accordingly, it is necessary to take measures to prove the fulfillment of the duty of explanation even when selling over-the-counter drugs, as in the case where the merchandise sales data processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 processes card settlement.

  In addition, since it is assumed that customers often do not have knowledge of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, there is a possibility that a considerable amount of time will be taken to fulfill their accountability. Therefore, it must be ensured that performance of accountability does not hinder the progress of accounting and that it can be proved that accountability has been fulfilled. For that purpose, it is necessary to harmonize the means for proving the above with the work in accounting processing such as delivery of receipts to customers and exchange of money.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to reliably prove whether or not the obligations under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law have been fulfilled, and to enable smooth transactions. And a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and a control program for the same.

According to the present invention, in a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that sells merchandise purchased by a customer, a sign-on receiving unit that receives a sign-on of a store clerk, a qualification storage unit that stores a qualification of each store clerk, and the sign-on receiving unit Qualification specifying means for specifying the qualification of the store clerk who accepted the sign-on from the qualification storage means , message storage means for storing a predetermined message in association with a predetermined product category assigned to the product, and the product to be sold A product category discriminating unit for discriminating a product category, a message specifying unit for specifying a message associated with the product category discriminated by the product category discriminating unit from the message storage unit, and a message specified by the message specifying unit, and signature panel of the customer, and qualifications identified by the credential identifying means, said sign- A certificate issuing means for issuing the transaction certificates printed and name of the store clerk who accepted to sign-on by the receiving means, after the certificate has been issued by the certificate issuing means issuing a receipt of the transaction And a receipt issuing means.

  According to the present invention in which such measures have been taken, it is possible to reliably prove whether or not the obligations under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law have been fulfilled, and to enable smooth transactions and prevent troubles between customers and stores. A data processing apparatus and its control program can be provided.

The touch panel sensor 9b and the display unit 9c are connected, the customer display 10a is connected to the customer display controller 10, the receipt printer 11a is connected to the printer controller 11, the scanner 12a is connected to the scanner interface 12, and the speaker controller. A speaker 13 a is connected to 13.

  The ROM 3 stores fixed data such as a basic operation program of the POS terminal 1. The RAM 4 corresponds to a processing situation such as a person-in-charge registration area 4a for storing information about a store clerk who has registered a person in charge of operation (hereinafter referred to as sign-on), and a commodity registration area 4b for registering commodity sales data of purchased products. Various working storage areas are formed.

The mode switch 5 a includes a key mechanism that can be rotated using a predetermined key, and notifies the CPU 2 of a signal corresponding to the rotation stop position via the I / O port 5. The CPU 2 switches an application to be executed, such as a maintenance mode or a product registration mode, based on a signal from the mode switch 5a.
The drawer opening device 5 b opens a drawer (not shown) in response to a command from the I / O port 5. The drawer is opened mainly in response to the cashier declaring the closing by a predetermined operation when the registration operation of the product is completed in the product sales process.

  The LAN cable 6a connects the POS terminal 1 to the store network, and is a telecommunication line capable of mutual communication. The LAN interface 6 controls data communication with a network device connected via the LAN cable 6a, for example, a store controller.

  The keyboard controller 8 captures a signal to be output according to the key operated by the keyboard 8a and notifies the CPU 2 of the signal. The keyboard 8a is provided with various function keys such as a PLU key, a subtotal key, a deposit / cash key, and a total key in addition to numeric keys for inputting numerical data.

  The display controller 9 selectively displays various screens on the display unit 9c according to a command from the CPU 2, and calculates a touch position coordinate by taking in a signal output by the touch panel sensor 9b according to the touch operation position. CPU2 is notified.

The speaker controller 13 controls the sound output from the speaker 13a.

  The hard disk drive 7 stores a message table 7a (message storage means) in which a message to be printed together with a signature column on a store receipt, which will be described later, is associated with the risk category of over-the-counter drugs, and stores information such as sales authority of the store clerk. The employee master 7b (qualification storage means) and an authority management table 7c storing various types of information according to the risk category of over-the-counter drugs are stored.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the message table 7a. In the present embodiment, the message set in the message table 7a is provided with information such as “I received an explanation of product information” because, for example, active provision of information is required for the first category pharmaceutical products. Because it is not obligated to provide active information on second-class drugs, designated second-class drugs, and third-class drugs, it is only necessary to consult with customers. A message based on the premise that explanation about pharmaceutical products cannot be requested, such as “No explanation of product information” is set. Thus, the message according to the risk classification set in the message table 7a can be changed by setting.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the salesperson master 7b. The salesperson master 7b stores the name of the clerk and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law authority code in association with the clerk code such as “10000001” and “10000002” uniquely assigned to each clerk. This Pharmaceutical Affairs Law authority code indicates that “1” is a pharmacist, “2” is a registered seller, and “0” is an unqualified person.

In addition, CPU2 in this embodiment implement | achieves each function of following (1)-(6) by software processing.
(1) A product category discriminating function for discriminating a risk category of a product to be sold.

(2) A message specifying function for specifying a message associated with the risk category determined by the product category determining function from the message table 7a.

(3) A certificate issuing function for issuing a store receipt (certificate) for the transaction in which the customer's signature column is printed together with the message specified by the message specifying function.

(4) A receipt issuing function for issuing a receipt of the transaction after the store receipt is issued by the certificate issuing function.

(5) A sign-on acceptance function for accepting a clerk's sign-on.

(6) A qualification specifying function for specifying the qualification of the store clerk who accepted the sign-on by the sign-on reception function from the salesperson master 7b.

Next, the operation of the POS terminal 1 configured as described above will be described.
In order for the clerk to take charge of the operation of the POS terminal 1, it is necessary to perform the sign-on. In order to sign on, first, a sign on is declared by operating a sign on key provided on the keyboard 8a. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the sign-on process executed by the CPU 2 after sign-on is declared in this way. This process is executed based on an operation program stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7.

  First, the CPU 2 shifts to a state of accepting an input of a clerk code (ST101) and waits for an input of the clerk code (ST102). The clerk code can be input by operating a numeric key provided on the keyboard 8a or by touching the display 9a with a touch panel, or the bar clerk code can be input by scanning with the scanner 12a. .

When the clerk code is input by any of the methods (Yes in ST102), the sales clerk master 7b is searched for a record having the same clerk code as the input clerk code (ST103). Then, the record found from the salesperson master 7b is loaded into the responsible person registration area 4a formed in the RAM 4 (ST104). Thus, when the record is loaded in the responsible person registration area 4a, the sign-on of the store clerk is completed.
In addition to a person who operates the POS terminal 1 as a cashier, a plurality of persons such as assistants and qualified persons for fulfilling an obligation to explain over-the-counter drugs can sign on at the same time. Also in this case, the record of each clerk who has signed on can be identified as a cashier, assistant, or qualified person and loaded into the responsible person registration area 4a. In addition, when a qualified person to fulfill the obligation to explain over-the-counter drugs has signed on, it is also possible to set the operation such that the sign-on is canceled each time one transaction is completed. .

  Next, the authority management table 7c will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the data structure of the authority management table 7c. In the authority management table 7c, a general salesperson, a pharmacist, and a registered seller are stored in the POS terminal 1 for each risk category of the first category pharmaceutical, the second category pharmaceutical, the designated second category pharmaceutical, and the third category pharmaceutical. Data relating to the sales process when signing on is stored. In the data for each risk category, a sales flag and a category symbol are stored. The sales flag is a flag for determining whether or not the drug of the risk category can be sold with the authority of the salesperson who has signed on. “0” can be sold and “1” cannot be sold. It shows that there is. The classification symbol is a symbol for identifying each risk classification, and in this embodiment, “A” for the first type pharmaceutical, “B” for the second type pharmaceutical, “C” for the designated second type pharmaceutical, and “D” is assigned to each of the third kind pharmaceutical products.

  Now, the data stored in the salesperson master 7b can be edited by the salesperson master maintenance process. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 2 in the salesperson master maintenance processing. This process is based on an operation program stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7 by using an operation of a predetermined operation key provided on the keyboard 8a or a touch operation of the predetermined operation key displayed on the display 9a with a touch panel as a trigger. Executed.

  First, the CPU 2 displays a salesperson master maintenance screen 20 on the display unit 9c of the display 9a with a touch panel (ST201).

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the salesperson master maintenance screen 20. The salesperson master maintenance screen 20 includes a data display field 20a for displaying records stored in the salesperson master 7b, and an operation key display area 20b for displaying various operation keys.
In the data display column 20a, a list of qualifications determined based on the salesperson code of each salesperson registered in the salesperson master 7b, the name of the salesperson, and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law authority code is displayed. In the operation key display area 20b, a help (HELP) key that is touch-operated when displaying a help screen regarding various operations, an input key that is touch-operated when creating a new salesperson record, key operations of the keyboard 8a, etc. Change key for touch operation when changing the contents of the record selected in, Delete key for touch operation when deleting the record selected in the same way, End key for touch operation when the salesperson master maintenance process is terminated, etc. Is displayed.

  In the state where the salesperson master maintenance screen 20 is displayed, the CPU 2 accepts various inputs by key operations of the keyboard 8a and touch operations of operation keys displayed in the operation key display area 20b (ST202). When any input is accepted, it is determined what type of input has been made (ST203). At this time, when it is determined that the input key or the change key displayed in the operation key display area 20b is touch-operated ("input key, change key operation" in ST203), it is selected at that time instead of the data display column 20a. The input screen 20c for editing the recorded record is displayed (ST205). When it is determined that an input other than the touch operation of the input key or the change key has been made ("other" in ST203), processing corresponding to the input is executed (ST204). For example, when the end key displayed in the operation key display area 20b is touched, the salesperson master maintenance process ends.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the salesperson master maintenance screen 20 on which the input screen 20c is displayed. The input screen 20c displays a salesperson code input field, a salesperson name input field, and a qualification input field. In each input field, data can be input by key operation of the keyboard 8a. In the qualification input field, "0", "1" according to the qualification of the store clerk as in the above-mentioned Pharmaceutical Affairs Law authority code. Either “2” can be input.

  In a state where the input screen 20c is displayed, the CPU 2 accepts data editing of salesperson code, salesperson name and qualification (ST206). While data editing for each item is accepted, the operation of the list key displayed in the operation key display area 20b is monitored (ST207). When the operation of the list key is performed (Yes in ST207). The data in the salesperson master 7b is updated with the data input in the salesperson code input field, the salesperson name input field, and the qualification input field. At this time, if the input screen 20c is displayed by touching the input key, the data entered in the salesperson code input field, the salesperson name input field, and the qualification input field are replaced with new data. If the input screen 20c is displayed when the change key is touch-operated, the salesperson master corresponding to the record selected when the change key is touch-operated is displayed. The record in 7b is updated with the data entered in the salesperson code input field, salesperson name input field, and qualification input field.

  After updating the data of the salesperson master 7b in this way, the data display column 20a is displayed again instead of the input screen 20c (ST208), and various inputs are accepted again (ST202). Eventually, when the end key is touch-operated, the process ends.

Next, merchandise sales processing by the POS terminal 1 will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 2 in merchandise sales processing. This process is executed based on an operation program stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7.

  First, the CPU 2 shifts to a state of accepting an input of a product code and waits for the input (ST301). At this time, it is possible to input a product code by scanning a barcode attached to the product by the scanner 12a or by operating a key on the keyboard 8a. If the product code is input by any method (ST301: Yes), product data is acquired from the product master based on the input product code (ST302). The product master may be stored in the hard disk drive 7 or stored in the store server and accessed to the store server via the LAN interface 6 to acquire product data corresponding to the product code. May be.

  After acquiring the merchandise data, the CPU 2 registers the merchandise sales data including the merchandise data acquired as described above and the purchase points in the merchandise registration area 4b formed in the RAM 4 (ST303), and is provided on the keyboard 8a. It is determined whether or not the subtotal key has already been operated (ST304). If the subtotal key has not been operated yet (No in ST304), the process returns to ST301 again to wait for the input of the next product code.

  On the other hand, when the subtotal key is operated (Yes in ST304), calculation of the total amount of the transaction, display of the calculated total amount on the touch panel display 9a and the customer display 10a, discount / discount processing, etc. (ST305), and waits for an operation of a tightening key provided on the keyboard 8a (ST306). After that, when the closing key is operated (Yes in ST306), the change amount is calculated by subtracting the total amount of the transaction from the deposit amount from the customer and displayed on the touch panel display 9a and the customer surface display 10a. Tightening processing such as causing the drawer opening device 5b to open the drawer via the I / O port 5 is executed (ST307).

  After executing the tightening process, the CPU 2 executes a print data creation process for creating print data to be printed on the receipt of the transaction (ST308). The print data creation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After creating the print data in the print data creation process, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the over-the-counter medicine has been sold in the transaction (ST309). The product data acquired from the product master specifies whether the product is a product other than a first-class pharmaceutical, a second-class pharmaceutical, a designated second-class pharmaceutical, a third-class pharmaceutical, or an over-the-counter drug Risk classification information is included. In the processing of ST309, over-the-counter drugs are determined based on whether or not there is any item in the product sales data registered in the product registration area 4b that has risk category information indicating the risk category of each over-the-counter drug. Determine if it was sold.

  When it is determined in the process of ST309 that an over-the-counter medicine was sold in the transaction (Yes in ST309), the CPU 2 further adds a customer signature field and a predetermined message to the print data created in the print data creation process. The store copy receipt printing process is added (ST310). Details of the store receipt receipt printing process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After printing the store receipt, the CPU 2 prints a customer receipt using the print data created in the print data creation process (ST311). The signature field is not printed on the customer receipt. After printing the customer receipt, the CPU 2 ends the merchandise sales process.

Next, the print data creation process in the process of ST308 will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 2 in the print data creation processing. This process is executed based on an operation program stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7.

  First, the CPU 2 forms a flag F in the RAM 4 and initializes its value to “0” (ST401). Next, a work memory area for generating receipt print data is formed in the RAM 4, and print data such as a header portion, transaction date and time, a registration number (No.), and a transaction number (No.) are stored in the work memory area. It is added (ST402). The header portion is made up of a predetermined graphic or commercial information of a store, and is stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7 in advance. The transaction date and time is acquired from a clock unit included in the POS terminal 1. The register number is a number assigned to the register where the POS terminal 1 is installed, and is stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7 in advance. The transaction number is a number for identifying each transaction, and is assigned to each transaction by, for example, forming a counter in the RAM 4 and incrementing the transaction every time the transaction is processed.

  After the process of ST402, the CPU 2 adds the clerk code and name of the clerk registered as a cashier in the responsible person registration area 4a to the print data (ST403).

  Next, the CPU 2 extracts one product sales data registered in the product registration area 4b formed in the RAM 4 in the process of ST303 (ST404). Then, based on the extracted product sales data, the product name, purchase points, and product price of the product are specified, and these are added to the print data (ST405).

  Thereafter, CPU 2 determines whether or not the product is an over-the-counter drug, and to which risk category it belongs if it is an over-the-counter drug (ST406). As described above, in the product data acquired from the product master, the product may be any of a product other than a first-class pharmaceutical, a second-class pharmaceutical, a designated second-class pharmaceutical, a third-class pharmaceutical, or an over-the-counter drug. Risk classification information for specifying whether or not the product is a generic drug is determined based on the risk classification information in the process of ST406. If the product is an over-the-counter drug (Yes in ST406), the value of the flag F is set to “1” (ST407).

  Furthermore, the CPU 2 acquires a classification symbol corresponding to the identified risk category of the product from the authority management table 7c (ST408), and adds the acquired classification symbol to the print data (ST409). Thus, the position at which the classification symbol is added to the print data is set to a position where it can be recognized at a glance that the classification data is added to the sales data of the product.

  After adding the classification symbol to the print data or when it is determined in the process of ST406 that the product is not an over-the-counter drug (No in ST406), the CPU 2 has unextracted product sales data in the product registration area 4b. Is determined (ST410). If there is unextracted product sales data (Yes in ST410), the processing returns to ST404, and one product sales data is extracted from the unextracted product sales data, and the processing of ST404 to ST410 is executed again. .

  On the other hand, if there is no unextracted merchandise sales data in the process of ST410 (No in ST410), it is determined whether or not “1” is set in the flag F (ST411). If “1” is set in the flag F (Yes in ST411), the qualification necessary for selling the registered over-the-counter drugs is specified (ST412).

  Specifically, with reference to the sales flag stored in the authority management table 7c for the risk category of the over-the-counter drug registered in the product registration area 4b, the qualification for which “0” is set is specified. When a plurality of over-the-counter drugs are registered in the product registration area 4b, the qualifications for which the sales flag is set to “0” are specified for all of them. For example, when the first category pharmaceutical and the second category pharmaceutical are registered in the merchandise registration area 4b, the pharmacists for whom “0” is set in each merchandise sales flag in the authority management table 7c shown in FIG. Will be specified. In addition, when the second type pharmaceutical and the third type pharmaceutical are registered in the product registration area 4b, “0” is set in each product sales flag in the authority management table 7c shown in FIG. Pharmacists and registered sellers will be identified.

After specifying the qualifications necessary for sales in this way, the CPU 2 searches for the clerk having the qualification from the clerk registered in the person-in-charge registration area 4a (ST413). Specifically, a record in which the same pharmacy law authority code as that of the qualified pharmacy law authority code is associated is searched from the responsible person registration area 4a.
Next, CPU 2 determines whether or not a store clerk having the qualification has been found (ST414). If a clerk with the qualification is found (Yes in ST414), the qualification and name of the clerk are added to the print data (ST415). On the other hand, when a store clerk who has the qualification is not found (No in ST414), a warning that the drug is an over-the-counter drug that cannot be sold by the cashier is displayed on the display 9a with a touch panel (ST416).

  When it is determined in the process of ST411 that “1” is not set in the flag F (No in ST411), after the process of ST415 or ST416, the CPU 2 ends the print data creation process.

  Store receipts and customer receipts are printed using the print data thus created (ST310, ST311).

Next, the store receipt receipt printing process will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of processing executed by the CPU 2 in the store receipt receipt printing process in the process of ST310. This process is executed based on an operation program stored in the ROM 3 or the hard disk drive 7.

  First, the CPU 2 specifies the risk category of the over-the-counter drug sold in the transaction based on the risk category information in the product sales data registered in the product registration area 4b (ST501). When multiple sales data of over-the-counter drugs are registered in the product sales data, the highest risk category among the over-the-counter drugs is specified. For example, when the first category pharmaceutical and the second category pharmaceutical are registered in the product registration area 4b, the first category pharmaceutical that is the highest risk category is specified.

  After identifying the risk category in the process of ST501, the CPU 2 identifies a message corresponding to the risk category identified in the process of ST501 from the message table 7a (ST502). Further, print data of a store receipt, which is obtained by adding the customer signature column and the message specified from the message table 7a to the print data created by the print data creation process, is created and stored in the RAM 4 (ST503).

  Thus, after the print data of the store copy receipt is completed, the CPU 2 drives and controls the receipt printer 11a based on the print data to issue a store copy receipt (ST504), and the print processing of the store copy receipt is finished.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a store copy receipt printed through the processing described above.
In the store receipt 40, the header part added to the print data in the process of ST402, the transaction date “April 01, 2009” and the registration number “Register No. 0001” are added to the print data in the process of ST403. Cashier clerk's clerk code and name, for example “antibacterial gauze” that is not an over-the-counter drug added to the print data in the process of ST405, “gastrointestinal drug” that is the first type drug and “headache drug” that is the second type drug Product sales data, etc., classification symbols “A” and “B” added to the print data in the process of ST409, qualified person name and name display field 40a added to the print data in the process of ST415, The message 40b and the signature column 40c added to the print data in the process of ST503 are printed.

  Since the risk category of “Gastrointestinal” is the highest risk category of the second category pharmaceutical, the message “Description of product information is not required” for the second category pharmaceutical set in the message table 7a. 40b is printed.

  If the store receipt is issued in this way, the cashier will confirm the classification symbol or message attached to the product, and provide information if the product is a first-class pharmaceutical. If it is an over-the-counter drug, ask the customer if it is necessary to explain the drug. Then, after fulfilling the obligation to explain or when the customer requests that the explanation is unnecessary, the store receipt is presented to the customer and a signature in the signature column is requested. The store receipt received by the customer is stored at the store in the same manner as the store receipt issued by credit card payment.
