(Operation of store system 100)
Next, the operation of the store system 100 will be described.

<Sales Price Change Processing in Sales Data Processing Device 1>
First, the selling price changing process executed in the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of selling price change processing. The selling price changing process is realized by the cooperation of the CPU 10 and the program stored in the storage unit 14 in the registration mode.

After the store clerk operates the numeric key 111 of the input unit 11 to input a change reason code according to the reason for the change in the selling price (step S1), and after the selling price change key 112 is pressed, an instruction to execute the selling price change is input (step S2). When the barcode displayed on the product for sale price change and product registration is scanned by the scanner unit 18 and the product code is input (or the product code is input by the numeric keypad 111 of the input unit 11) (step S3), It will be waiting for input of the selling price after the change.
Here, the selling price is changed for a variety of reasons, for example, when a customer presents a flyer from another competing store, the price is changed to a lower selling price, or the selling price is lowered because it is limited to the actual product. . Therefore, in the store system 100, the reason for changing the selling price can be specified by inputting a change reason code for identifying the reason for changing the selling price.
The input information such as the change reason code and the product code is temporarily stored in the RAM 13.

  Next, when the changed selling price is input by operating the numeric keypad 111 of the input unit 11 (step S4), and then the amount button 116 is pressed (step S5), the record “of the target product in the product registration information file 141 is displayed. "Unit price" is changed to the selling price input in step S4 (step S6). Specifically, the record having the “product code” that matches the product code input in step S3 is searched in the product registration information file 141, and the “unit price” of the searched record is input in step S4. Can be rewritten.

  Next, a product registration process is executed (step S7). In the product registration process, the current purchase price is calculated by multiplying the sales price after the sales price change by the current purchase quantity, and displayed on the display unit 12. Further, the product name, the current purchase quantity, and the current purchase price are printed on the receipt paper by the printing unit 16. Further, the current purchase quantity is added to “sales quantity” of the retrieved records, and the current purchase price is added to “sales amount”.

  Next, the selling price change reason table 142 stored in the storage unit 14 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the “broadcast notification FRG” corresponding to the “change reason code” input in step S1 is “1”. (Step S8). That is, it is determined whether or not to send the notice of selling price change executed in step S6 to the information center server 2 depending on whether or not the “broadcast notice FRG” is 1. When it is determined that the “broadcast notification FRG” is “1” (step S8; YES), a selling price change notification transmission packet P1 is generated (step S9). Then, the generated transmission packet P1 is transmitted to the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15 (step S10), and the selling price changing process ends.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a transmission price change notification transmission packet P1 generated in step S9 and transmitted to the information center server 2 in step S10. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the selling price change notification transmission packet P <b> 1 includes “product code”, “store number”, “change reason code”, and “selling price”. “Product code” is the product code input in step S3. “Store number” is the store number of the store stored in the storage unit 14 as described above. “Change reason code” is a change reason code indicating the change reason for the selling price change input in step S1. “Selling price” is selling price information indicating the selling price after the change.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the “broadcast notification flag” is not “1” (step S8; NO), the selling price changing process ends.

<Broadcasting processing for selling price change notification in information center server 2>
Next, the selling price change notification simultaneous broadcast process executed in the information center server 2 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the selling price change notification simultaneous broadcast processing. The selling price change notification simultaneous broadcast processing is realized by the cooperation of the CPU 20 and the program stored in the storage unit 24 when the communication unit 25 starts receiving the selling price change notification from the sales data processing device 1. The

  When a selling price change notification (P1) is received from any of the plurality of sales data processing devices 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S11), based on the received selling price change notification, a simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification Is generated (step S12).

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification generated in step S12. As shown in FIG. 12, the simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification is composed of “product code”, “store number”, “change reason code”, “sell price”, and “processing number”. That is, the simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification is obtained by adding the “processing number” to the selling price change notification packet P1 received from the sales data processing apparatus 1. The “processing number” is a sequential number assigned to identify the selling price change notification.

  Next, an e-mail is created based on the received selling price change notification (step S13). For example, a selling price change notification such as “The selling price has been changed for △△ at XX shop. Product name: XXXXXX, product code: 4900000xxxx, price: 198000 yen, processing number: 5412”, etc. An e-mail is created with the contents of.

  Next, the “transmission destination” of the sales price change notification corresponding to the “change reason code” included in the sales price change notification is acquired from the reason code transmission destination table 241 (step S14), and corresponds to the acquired “transmission destination”. A simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification generated in step S12 is broadcast to the sales data processing apparatus 1 in the store by the communication unit 25 (step S15).

In step S14, specifically, the reason code transmission destination table 241 stored in the storage unit 24 is referred to, and the “transmission destination” corresponding to the “change reason code” in the received selling price change notification is acquired. The
In step S15, the store group information file 242 is referred to, and when the acquired “transmission destination” is designated as “all stores”, the store of the received selling price change notification and the “affiliation group” Among the records with the same number, “transmission destination address” of all records having the number in “store number” (that is, the addresses of sales data processing devices 1 of all stores belonging to the same group as the transmission source store) Is acquired, and the simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification is transmitted to the acquired transmission destination address by the simultaneous broadcast. When the acquired “destination” is specified by the regional group number, the store group information file 242 is referred to, and the record that matches the number of the “affiliation group” with the store from which the received sales price change notification is transmitted Among them, a “transmission destination address” (that is, the same group as the transmission source store) of the record in which the “store number” has a number and the “region group number” matches the regional group number designated as the transmission destination. Of the sales data processing device 1 of the store in the designated area is acquired, and the simultaneous broadcast packet P2 of the selling price change notification is transmitted by the simultaneous broadcast.

Further, the e-mail created in step S13 is broadcasted simultaneously by the communication unit 25 to the address of the person in charge corresponding to the “transmission destination” acquired in step S14 (step S16), and the selling price change notification is broadcast simultaneously. The reporting process ends.
In step S16, the store group information file 242 is referred to, and when the acquired “transmission destination” is designated as “all stores”, the store of the received selling price change notification and the “affiliation group” The “transmission destination address” (that is, the email address of the mobile terminal of all responsible persons belonging to the same group as the transmission source store) of all records in which the “store number” is blank among the records having the same number is acquired. Then, the electronic mail created in step S13 is transmitted to the acquired transmission destination address by simultaneous broadcast. When the acquired “destination” is specified by the regional group number, the store group information file 242 is referred to, and the record that matches the number of the “affiliation group” with the store from which the received sales price change notification is transmitted Among them, the “store number” is blank and the “area group number” is the “destination address” of the record that matches the specified area group number (that is, the person in charge belonging to the same group as the source store). (The address of the person in charge of the store in the designated area) is acquired, and the e-mail created in step S13 is transmitted to the acquired transmission destination address by simultaneous broadcast.

<Receiving Price Change Notification Reception Processing in Sales Data Processing Device 1>
Next, the selling price change notification receiving process executed in the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 13 shows a flowchart of the selling price change notification receiving process. The selling price change notification reception process is realized by the cooperation of the CPU 10 and the program stored in the storage unit 14 when the communication unit 15 starts receiving the selling price change notification related to another store from the information center server 2. Is done.

  When the broadcast packet P2 for the sale price change notification is received by the communication unit 15 (step S21), the received packet change notification packet data is stored in the sale price change notification storage area 144 of the storage unit 14 (step S22). ).

Then, based on the received selling price change notification, the printing unit 16 prints the selling price change notification report R on the receipt paper (step S23), and the selling price change notification receiving process ends.
In step S23, specifically, the “store name” corresponding to the “store number” included in the received price change notification is read from the store table 143 of the storage unit 14 and corresponds to the “change reason code”. “Reason for change” is read from the selling price change reason table 142, and “Product name” corresponding to “Product code” is read from the product registration information file 141. Then, printing data including the name of the store where the selling price has been changed, the reason for the selling price change, the product name, the product code, the selling price, the processing number, etc. is generated, and the selling price change notification report R is printed based on the printing data. Is done.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of the selling price change notification report R printed in step S23. As shown in FIG. 14, in the selling price change notification report R, the store where the selling price has been changed and the reason for the selling price change, “The selling price has been changed due to △△ at the XX store.” The message including the product name, the product code, the selling price, and the processing number of the product for which the selling price has been changed are printed.

  In step S23, the content of the selling price change notification report R may be displayed on the display unit 12.

  By printing or displaying the selling price change notification report by the selling price change notification receiving process, the store clerk can know that the selling price has been changed in another store.

<Sales Price Change Reflection Processing in Sales Data Processing Device 1>
Next, in the sales data processing device 1, a selling price change reflecting process for reflecting the selling price change in another store on the selling price of the own device based on the received selling price change notification will be described. FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of selling price change reflection processing. The selling price change reflecting process is started by a predetermined operation by a responsible person such as a manager who is authorized to change the selling price. For example, it is started by switching the mode switch 117 to the setting mode using the administrator key, inputting the “processing number” included in the selling price change notification through the input unit 11, and pressing the subtotal key 113. This selling price change reflection process is realized by the cooperation of the CPU 10 and the program stored in the storage unit 14.

  First, a selling price change notification corresponding to the process number input by the input unit 11 is read from the selling price change notification storage area 144 of the storage unit 14 to the RAM 13 and the content of the selling price change notification is displayed on the display unit 12 ( Step S31). Then, the process waits for an operation from the input unit 11.

  FIG. 16 shows a display example of the display unit 12 in step S31. As shown in FIG. 16, the display unit 12 displays a message indicating that the selling price has been changed and the reason for the selling price change, “The selling price has been changed for △△ at the XX store.” Then, the product name, the selling price, the processing number, and the operation guide for selecting the next process of the product whose selling price has been changed are displayed. As the next process, the “price change” process in which the price change made in another store is reflected in the sales price of this store (that is, the price change is executed based on the notice of price change), One of three processes, “rejection” processing for discarding the sales price change without reflecting it in the sales price of the store, and “holding” processing can be selected. The operation guidance displays key operations of the input unit 11 for selecting each process. In the example of FIG. 16, the “reflect unit price” process is selected by pressing the cash key 114, the “reject” process is selected by pressing the clear key 115, and the “hold” process is selected by pressing the subtotal key 113. It is shown that. Cash key 114, clear key 115, and subtotal key 113 function as selection means.

  When an operation for selecting the next process is performed by the input unit 11 (step S32), the selected process is determined based on the operated key (step S33). When the selected process is “reflect unit price” (step S33; reflect unit price), a record in which the selling price change notification and the “product code” match is searched from the product registration information file 141, and the “unit price” of the searched record. Is rewritten to the value of “selling price” in the selling price change notification (step S34), and the selling price change reflecting process ends.

  When it is determined that the selected process is “reject” (step S33; reject), the selling price change notification is discarded (step S35). Specifically, the selling price change notification data having the same processing number as the selling price change notification read in step S31 is erased from the selling price change notification storage area 144. Then, the selling price change reflection process ends.

  If it is determined that the selected process is “pending” (step S33; hold), the selling price change reflecting process ends.

  As described above, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, when the change reason code is input by the input unit 11, the selling price change key 112 is pressed, and the selling price change target product code and the changed selling price are input, the CPU 10. Changes the “unit price” of the record having the input product code in the product registration information file 141 stored in the storage unit 14 to the input selling price, and changes the product code, the change reason code, and the changed selling price information. A transmission packet for the sales price change notification is generated and transmitted to the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15. When the CPU 20 of the information center server 2 receives the selling price change notification from the sales data processing apparatus 1 through the communication unit 25, the CPU 20 assigns a processing number to the selling price change notification to another sales data processing apparatus 1 different from the transmission source. Broadcast simultaneously. The CPU 10 of the sales data processing device 1 causes the printing unit 16 or the display unit 12 to output the contents of the selling price change notification when the selling price change notification related to the other sales data processing device 1 is received by the communication unit 15.

Therefore, it becomes possible to share information on selling price changes among a plurality of stores.
Further, by including the change reason code indicating the reason for the selling price change in the selling price change notification, it becomes possible to grasp the reason why the selling price has been changed in another store that has received the selling price change notification.

Further, when the selling price change notification related to the other sales data processing device 1 is received from the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15, the CPU 10 of the sales data processing device 1 stores the sales price change notification based on the received selling price change notification. The “unit price” of the corresponding product in the product registration information file 141 stored in the unit 14 is rewritten. Therefore, it is possible to easily reflect the price change made in the other sales data processing apparatus 1 in the product registration information file 141 of each sales data processing apparatus 1.
Whether or not to execute the selling price change based on the received selling price change notification, that is, the “unit price” of the product registration information file 141 is rewritten based on the selling price change made in another sales data processing apparatus 1. Since it can be selected by operating the input unit 11, only the price change necessary for the store among the price changes made at other stores is stored in the product registration information file 141 of the sales data processing apparatus 1. It can be reflected.

  Moreover, since the CPU 20 of the information center server 2 transmits the selling price change notification by simultaneous broadcasting, it is possible to transmit the selling price change notification more efficiently than by individually specifying and transmitting the sales data processing device 1 as the transmission destination. It becomes.

  In addition, since the CPU 20 of the information center server 2 transmits the sales price change notification to the sales data processing apparatus 1 installed in another store belonging to the same group as the transmission source, in the store system including a plurality of group groups, The selling price change information can be shared within the same group without the selling price being known to other affiliated groups.

  In addition, when the CPU 20 of the information center server 2 receives the selling price change notification from the sales data processing device 1, it creates an e-mail including the contents of the selling price change notification and transmits it to the portable terminal of the person in charge at another store. The person in charge of the store can fully recognize that the sales price change notification has occurred at other stores.

  Further, the CPU 10 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not to send a selling price change notification to the information center server 2 based on the change reason code input by the input unit 11, and based on the determination result, the information A selling price change notification is transmitted to the center server 2. Specifically, when the change reason code is a code associated with the broadcast notification FRG “1”, the selling price change notification is transmitted. Therefore, it becomes possible to transmit a selling price change notification to the information center server 2 only when a selling price change is made due to a change reason that needs to be transmitted to the sales data processing device 1 of another store, thereby preventing unnecessary notifications. It becomes possible to do.

In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of the store system 100 which concerns on this invention, and is not limited to this.
For example, in the above embodiment, the change reason code is input by the ten key 111 of the input unit 11 and the selling price change key 112 is pressed to input the execution instruction of the selling price change and the reason for the change. It is not limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of selling price change keys 118 corresponding to the change reason code are provided in the input unit 11, and the selling price change key 118 corresponding to the change reason code (for example, the change reason is “A Electric Countermeasure”). In this case, the user may input an instruction to change the selling price and the reason for the change by pressing the key labeled “selling price change 11”.
Further, when the selling price change key 112 is pressed, a list of reasons for change and corresponding keys may be displayed on the display unit 12, and the reason for change may be input according to the pressed key.

  In the above-described embodiment, the sales data processing device 1 stores the broadcast notification FRG in association with the change reason code, and transmits the selling price change notification to the information center server 2 based on the broadcast notification FRG. The information center server 2 stores the change reason code in association with the broadcast notification FRG, and the sales data processing device 1 stores the sales price change notification regardless of the reason for the change. It may be transmitted to the center server 2 and the information center server 2 may determine whether or not to send a selling price change notification to other sales data processing devices 1 simultaneously.

  In the above embodiment, the selling price change notification e-mail is transmitted to the portable terminal of the person in charge of the store. However, the e-mail is not limited to the portable terminal, and is transmitted to a terminal device such as a PC (Personal Computer). It is good as well.

  Further, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, when an operation for rejecting the reflection of the selling price change is performed by the input unit 11, the reason can be input from the input unit 11, and the input reason for rejection is input to the information center server 2. You may make it transmit. In this way, it becomes possible to analyze the reason for the selling price change for which a selling price change notification is to be transmitted later.

  When it is desired to keep the unit price before the selling price change, the selling price before or after the change may be stored in the “second unit price” area of the product registration information file 141.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each device constituting the store system 100 can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.
