  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram schematically showing the overall configuration of the POS system. As shown in FIG. 1, a POS system provided in each store is configured by connecting a plurality of POS terminals 1 which are merchandise sales data processing apparatuses and these POS terminals 1 via a network 3 such as a LAN, and each POS terminal. 1 and a POS server 2 which is a sales registration data totaling device for totaling sales registration data transmitted from 1.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the POS terminal 1, and a CPU 4 is mounted as a control unit main body. In addition, a ROM 5 that stores a startup program, a RAM 6 that functions as a work area that stores various data in a rewritable manner such as a sales buffer and a print buffer, and an HDD 7 that stores a control program that operates the CPU 4. , A clock circuit 8, a communication controller 9, a keyboard controller 10, a display controller 11, a printer controller 12, a scanner controller 13, and the like.

  The HDD 7 further includes a single product master file 18, a higher-level product configuration master file 19, a sales price memory 20 that stores a sales price used when registering sales, and a sales registration data file 21 that stores and stores product sales data for one transaction. Memory management. Here, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the single product master file 18. The single product master file 18 is a data file that stores and holds product data including a department code, a product name, a unit price, a cost, a cost allocation flag, and an upper master reference flag corresponding to a single product code of each product. The cost discount flag is set to “1” when cost splitting is not allowed, and “0” when cost splitting is permitted. The upper master reference flag is set to “1” when referring to the upper product configuration master file 19 and “0” when not referring to it.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the higher-level product configuration master file 19. The higher-level product configuration master file 19 is a data file that stores and holds product data including a department name and a cost discount flag in correspondence with a department code that is classification identification information. The cost discount flag is set to “1” if cost splitting is not allowed and “0” if cost splitting is allowed.

  The communication controller 9 in FIG. 2 controls data communication with the POS server 2 connected via the network 3. The keyboard controller 10 is provided with various keys such as numeric keys, discount keys, discount keys, and the like, and takes in key signals corresponding to the operation keys of the keyboard 14 functioning as input means. The display controller 11 controls screen display on the display unit 15 such as an LCD for displaying and outputting the name, sales price, total amount, etc. of the product registered for sale. The printer controller 12 controls receipt printing by the printer 16 built in the POS terminal 1. The scanner controller 13 optically reads a barcode or the like and controls the reading operation of the scanner 17 that functions as an input unit.

  The POS terminal 2 constitutes a control program in the HDD 7 so that the CPU 4 controls each unit according to the processing procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. The CPU 4 checks in ST (step) 1 whether or not a single item code is input as the product identification information of the customer-purchased product. Incidentally, in the POS terminal 1, there are a method for reading and inputting a bar-coded single item code with the scanner 17 and a method for inputting a single item code with the numeric keys of the keyboard 14 as an input unit for the single item code. When a single product code is input, the CPU 4 reads product data corresponding to the input single product code from the single product master file 18. Then, the CPU 4 stores the unit price in the product data read from the single product master file 18 in the selling price memory 20 as ST2.

  Next, CPU4 checks whether discount information was inputted about customer purchase goods as ST3. Incidentally, in the POS terminal 1, as a means for inputting discount information, after inputting the discount key of the keyboard 14, a method of inputting the discount amount by using the numeric key, and after inputting the discount key, by using the numeric key There are a method of inputting a discount rate, and a method of reading and inputting a discount amount and a discount rate bar-coded by a discount ticket or a discount ticket by the scanner 17. When the discount information is input, the CPU 4 obtains the sales price obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 and stores the reduced sales price in the sales price memory 20 in ST4. Remember. In the case of the discount rate, the discount price is calculated by multiplying the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 by the discount rate, and the sales price obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the sales price is stored in the sales price memory 20 (sales price acquisition) means).

  When the discount information is not input, the CPU 4 executes the sales registration process for the customer-purchased product using the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 as ST11, that is, the unit price read from the single product master file 18, and this sales. The registration data is stored in the sales registration file 21.

  Next, the CPU 4 compares the selling price of the selling price memory 20, that is, the reduced selling price with the cost in the product data read from the single product master file 18 as ST 5. If the sales price is equal to or higher than the cost, the CPU 4 uses the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 as ST11 to execute a sales registration process for the customer-purchased product, and registers the sales registration data as sales. Store in file 21.

  When the selling price is lower than the cost, the CPU 4 checks the value set in the upper master reference flag in the product data read from the single product master file 18 as ST6. If the value of the upper master reference flag is “1”, the CPU 4 reads product data corresponding to the department code in the product data read from the single product master file 18 from the higher component product master file 19 in ST9. The value of the cost discount flag in the product data read from the higher-order product master file 19 is checked. When the value of the cost discount flag is “1”, the CPU 4 changes the sales price to the cost and stores the cost in the sales price memory 20 (cost setting means) as ST10. Then, the CPU 4 executes the sales registration process for the customer purchase product using the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20, that is, the cost, and stores the sales registration data in the sales registration file 21 as ST 11. On the other hand, when the value of the cost discount flag is “0”, the CPU 4 uses the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 as ST11, that is, the sales price with a broken cost, to perform the sales registration process for the customer purchased product. The sales registration data is stored in the sales registration file 21.

  If the upper master reference flag in the product data read from the single product master file 18 is “0”, the CPU 1 checks the value of the cost discount flag in the product data as ST7. If the cost discount flag is “1”, the CPU 4 changes the sales price to the cost and stores the cost in the sales price memory 20 (cost setting means) as ST8. Then, the CPU 4 executes the sales registration process for the customer purchase product using the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20, that is, the cost, and stores the sales registration data in the sales registration file 21 as ST 11. On the other hand, when the value of the cost discount flag is “0”, the CPU 4 uses the sales price stored in the sales price memory 20 as ST11, that is, the sales price with a broken cost, to perform the sales registration process for the customer purchased product. The sales registration data is stored in the sales registration file 21.

  As described above, when the sales price is changed by discounting / discounting, even if the changed sales price is broken, the product sales can be registered at the cost, so that the sales loss can be reduced. The setting of the cost split sales method as to whether or not to perform cost split sales is held in the single product master file 18 and the upper product configuration master file 19, and which master file is referred to for each single product is set for each single product. For this reason, it is possible to set a cost-breaking sales method in a higher-level product component unit, for example, a department unit, and for a part of individual products in the same department, the sales method set in the single product master file can also be referred to.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the POS server 2 can store a single product master file 18 and an upper product configuration master file 19. In this case, the POS server 2 performs the setting of the upper master reference flag and the cost discount flag in the single product master file 18 and the setting of the cost discount flag in the higher commodity configuration master file 19. The POS terminal 1 receives the setting data set in the single product master file 18 and the upper product configuration master file 19 from the POS server 2 via the communication controller 9 and the network 3 after the end of business, for example, and stores them in the HDD 7. The setting data of the single product master file 18 and the higher-level product configuration master file 19 may be updated to the received setting data.
