Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to accounting equipment and programs.

Conventionally, there is an accounting device that executes accounting processing of products sold in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores. The accounting device is, for example, a POS (Point of Sales) terminal. Such an accounting device calculates the change amount based on the total amount of goods to be sold and the deposit received from the customer. The store clerk hands the change of the amount calculated by the accounting device to the customer.

However, the customer may hand over the deposit to the clerk once, and then give more money to the clerk if he wants the change amount to be a good amount of coins or banknotes. For example, when a customer makes a purchase of 1006 yen, the customer first gives the clerk 1010 yen. After that, the customer notices that if he gives another 1 yen, the change amount will be 5 yen, and he will get a 5 yen coin as change, and he may give another 1 yen to the clerk.

As a countermeasure in such a case, the correct amount of change is calculated by re-entering the amount of money (deposit amount) passed later in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-171676 (Patent Document 1), which is a prior art document. What to do is described.

However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the clerk and the customer are accounted for by the first deposit when a further deposit is later delivered (when the deposit is corrected). It is not easy to confirm the result and the result of the re-accounting process by the deposit that was subsequently passed.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an accounting device and a program that can easily confirm the accounting treatment result before the correction and the corrected reaccounting treatment result when the deposit amount is corrected. It is to be.

The accounting device of the embodiment is composed of an accounting unit that executes accounting processing of the transaction based on the total amount of money related to the sale of goods in the transaction and the input first deposit amount from the customer, and the accounting unit. The transaction is reaccounted based on the deposit re-entry unit that accepts the second deposit amount re-entered after the accounting process, the second deposit amount received by the deposit re-entry unit, and the total amount. The re-accounting processing unit to be executed, the first deposit amount and the accounting processing result executed by the accounting processing unit, and the second deposit amount and the re-accounting processing result executed by the re-accounting processing unit are combined into one sheet. It is provided with a receipt issuing unit that issues receipts printed in different areas of paper .

The store server transmits the product information and payment information collected from the POS terminal 1 to the headquarters server (not shown) installed in the headquarters.

Subsequently, the functional configuration of the POS terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 100 of the POS terminal 1 functions as an accounting processing unit 101, a transaction designation unit 102, a deposit re-input unit 103, a re-accounting processing unit 104, and a receipt issuing unit 105.

The accounting processing unit 101 executes accounting processing for the transaction based on the total amount of the traded products and, for example, the first deposit amount from the customer input from the operation unit 21. That is, the accounting processing unit 101 calculates the total amount of the products purchased in the transaction based on the product information, and based on the total amount and the input first deposit, the first change which is the accounting processing result. Calculate the amount. In addition, the accounting processing unit 101 issues a receipt printed with product information and accounting information (total amount, first deposit amount, first change amount, etc.) related to the transaction. Further, the accounting processing unit 101 stores the product information and the accounting information of the product related to the accounted transaction in the transaction information unit 132 in association with the transaction number specifying the transaction.

The transaction designation unit 102 identifies one transaction associated with the transaction number based on the input transaction number from the transactions stored in the transaction information unit 132.

The deposit re-entry unit 103 determines whether the second deposit amount has been input after the accounting processing unit 101 executes the accounting processing and the transaction is completed. The deposit re-entry unit 103 accepts the input second deposit amount. That is, the deposit re-input unit 103 stores the received second deposit amount in the deposit storage unit 133.

The re-accounting processing unit 104 executes the re-accounting processing based on the total amount of the products included in the transaction designated by the transaction designation unit 102 and the second deposit amount received by the deposit re-input unit 103. The re-accounting process is the second change amount (re-accounting) related to the transaction based on the total amount of the products included in the transaction designated by the transaction designation unit 102 and the second deposit amount received by the deposit re-entry unit 103. Includes processing to calculate the processing result).

The receipt issuing unit 105 has the first deposit amount and the accounting processing result (first change amount) executed by the accounting processing unit 101, and the second deposit amount and the reaccounting processing result (second change) executed by the reaccounting processing unit 104. Forehead) and a receipt printed with.

From here, the control of the POS terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of control processing of the POS terminal. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 100 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the code symbol read by the code reader 30 has been input (S11). When it is determined that the code symbol has been input from the code reader 30 (Yes in S11), the control unit 100 analyzes the input code symbol and identifies the acquired product in the product. The sales registration process is executed (S12). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

If it is determined that the code symbol is not input (No in S11), the control unit 100 determines whether the tightening key 211 has been operated (S21). When it is determined that the closing key 211 has been operated (Yes in S21), the accounting processing unit 101 executes the accounting processing related to the transaction based on the product information stored in the product information unit 131. That is, the accounting processing unit 101 calculates the total amount of money related to the transaction (S22). Further, the accounting processing unit 101 displays the calculated total amount on the clerk display unit 22 and the customer display unit 23 (S22).

Next, the accounting processing unit 101 determines whether or not the first deposit has been input (S23). The customer sees the total amount and hands the clerk more than the total amount. The clerk inputs the amount of money deposited by the customer as the first deposit amount. The clerk operates the operation unit 21 to input the first deposit amount. Wait until it is determined that the first deposit has been entered (No in S23), and if it is determined that the first deposit has been entered (Yes in S23), the accounting unit 101 has calculated the total amount in S22. And the first deposit amount determined to have been input in S23, the first change amount related to the transaction is calculated (S24). Then, the accounting processing unit 101 displays the calculated change amount on the clerk display unit 22 and the customer display unit 23 (S25).

Next, the accounting processing unit 101 drives the printing unit 24 to issue a receipt printed with product information and accounting information (total amount, first deposit amount, first change amount) related to the transaction (S26). Then, the accounting processing unit 101 stores the product information and the accounting information related to the transaction in the transaction information unit 132 in association with the transaction number specifying the transaction (S27). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

Further, in S21, when it is determined that the tightening key 211 is not operated (No in S21), the control unit 100 determines whether the reaccounting key 212 has been operated (S31). If it is determined that the reaccounting key 212 has been operated (Yes in S31), the control unit 100 executes the reaccounting process (S32). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. If it is determined that the operation is not the operation of the reaccounting key 212 (No in S31), the control unit 100 returns to S11.

Here, the reaccounting process processed in S32 will be described. At the time of re-accounting process, the clerk asks the customer to return the first change amount already given as change. In addition, the clerk asks the customer to return the receipt that has already been given. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the control process of the reaccounting process of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the transaction designation unit 102 selects a target transaction (S41). For example, when the clerk operates the operation unit 21 to input the transaction number described in the receipt, the transaction designation unit 102 is associated with the input transaction number from the transaction stored in the transaction information unit 132. Select and read the transaction information. Next, the deposit re-input unit 103 determines whether or not the second deposit amount has been input (S42). Wait until it is determined whether the second deposit amount has been entered (No in S42), and if the deposit re-entry unit 103 determines that the second deposit amount has been entered (Yes in S42), the deposit is re-entered. The unit 103 stores (accepts) the received second deposit amount in the deposit storage unit 133 (S43).

Next, the reaccounting processing unit 104 calculates the second change amount based on the total amount calculated in S22 and the second deposit amount stored in S43 (S44). Then, the control unit 100 displays the product information, the first deposit, the first change amount, and the information including the second deposit and the second change amount stored in the transaction selected in S41 with the clerk display unit 22. It is displayed on the customer display unit 23 (S45). Then, the receipt issuing unit 105 drives the printing unit 24 to issue a receipt printed with information including the first deposit, the first change amount, the second deposit, and the second change amount (S46).

Here, a display example displayed on the clerk display unit 22 in S45 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the screen of the clerk display unit 22 of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 100 displays information on the product information 22a, the first deposit amount 22b, and the first change amount 22c on the first area 221 of the store clerk display unit 22. The information displayed in the first area 221 is the information input and the calculated information in the accounting process.
Further, the control unit 100 displays the second deposit amount 22d and the second change amount 22e on the second area 222 of the store clerk display unit 22. The information displayed in the second area 222 is the information input and the calculated information in the reaccounting process. Further, the control unit 100 displays the character of "correction" in association with the display of the second deposit amount 22d and the second change amount 22e, respectively. The clerk and the customer recognize that the second deposit amount 22d and the second change amount 22e are the amounts corrected from the first deposit amount 22b and the first change amount 22c by the displayed characters of "correction". Further, the clerk recognizes that the amount of change to be given to the customer after re-accounting is the amount displayed as the second change amount 22e. Then, the clerk hands the change of the amount displayed as the second change amount 22e to the customer. It is desirable that the entire second area 222 is displayed in a color that stands out from the first area 221.

Next, a printing example of the receipt printed and issued in S48 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the receipt R issued from the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the receipt issuing unit 105 has the product information R1 of the accounted product, the characters “total” indicating the total amount and the total amount R2, and the “deposit” indicating the deposit in the area R21 of the receipt R. ", The first deposit amount R3, the character" change "indicating change, and the first change amount R4 are printed. The area R21 of the receipt R is the information input and the calculated information in the accounting process.

Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the character R5 of "correction" in the area R22 of the receipt R after the characters "change" and the first change amount R4. The clerk and the customer recognize that the content printed thereafter is the corrected content by the printed "correction" character R5.

Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the character "deposit" indicating the deposit and the second deposit amount R7 in the area R22 of the receipt R, following the character R5 of "correction". At this time, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints with the mark R6 of "*" which is a mark (for example, at the beginning of the character of "deposit") in association with the character of "deposit". The second deposit amount R7 with the “*” mark R6 indicates that the deposit amount has been corrected. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the second deposit amount R7 with the mark R6 of "*" underlined. The underlined second deposit amount R7 indicates that the deposit amount has been corrected.

Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the characters "change" indicating that the change is made and the second change amount R9, following the second deposit amount R7. At this time, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints with the mark R8 of "*" associated with the character of "change" (for example, at the beginning of the character of "change"). The second change amount R9 with the “*” mark R8 indicates that the change amount has been corrected. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the second change amount R9 with the “*” mark R8 underlined. The underlined second change amount R9 indicates that the change amount has been corrected. The area R22 of the receipt R is the information input and the calculated information in the reaccounting process.

In this way, the accounting processing unit 101 prints the product information R1, the total amount R2, the first deposit amount R3, and the first change amount R4, which are the information input or calculated in the accounting processing, in the area R21. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the character R5 of "correction" as a boundary between the information before correction and the information after correction in the area R22, followed by the character "deposit" and the second deposit amount R7. The characters "change" and the second change amount R9 are printed. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the mark R6 of "*" in association with the character of "keeping" and prints the mark R8 of "*" in association with the character of "change". Further, the second deposit amount R7 and the second change amount R9 are underlined and printed. Therefore, the clerk and the customer correctly recognize the first deposit amount and the first change amount before the correction, and the second deposit amount and the second change amount after the correction by dividing the characters of "correction" as a boundary. be able to.

Therefore, in the first embodiment, when the deposit amount is corrected, the clerk and the customer can easily confirm the deposit amount and the change amount before the correction and the corrected deposit amount and the change amount.

(Second Embodiment)
From here, the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, at the time of re-accounting processing, the clerk decides to have the customer return the money of the first change amount already delivered as change, but in the second embodiment, the clerk has already delivered it as change. Instead of having the customer return the money of the first change amount, the difference between the first change amount and the second change amount is exchanged. The clerk asks the customer to return the receipt that has already been given.

Therefore, the reaccounting processing unit 104 calculates the difference between the first change amount and the second change amount based on the first change amount and the calculated second change amount. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 further issues a receipt printed with the difference in the change amount calculated by the reaccounting processing unit 104. In addition, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints information indicating the payment of change for the difference when the difference is handed over to the customer, and when the customer refunds the difference, the receipt issuing unit 105 outputs information requesting a refund for the difference.

Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. The display in S65 is almost the same as that in FIG. However, the second change amount 22j is displayed as 0 yen. Further, the receipt printing in S66 is almost the same as that in FIG. However, the change amount R14 is printed as 0 yen.

(Third Embodiment)
From here, the third embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the money storage box 3 is provided.
The clerk opens the money storage box 3 to store the first change returned from the customer. In the third embodiment, the above-mentioned automatic change machine (not shown) is provided in place of the money storage box 3. When the automatic change machine inserts the deposit from the customer, the automatic change machine sorts and stores the inserted money by denomination. In addition, the automatic change machine pays out the change amount to be given to the customer. At the time of re-accounting process, the clerk asks the customer to refund the first change amount already given as change and puts it into the automatic change machine. The automatic change machine transmits the amount of money put in to the POS terminal 1. In addition, the clerk asks the customer to return the receipt that has already been given.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of control processing of reaccounting processing in S32 of the POS terminal 1 according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 13, the same controls as those in FIGS. 5 and 8 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 13, after selecting the transaction information in S41, the control unit 100 receives the information of the amount of money put into the automatic change machine (that is, the amount of money refunded from the customer) from the automatic change machine. Is determined (S71). It waits until the information of the amount of money put into the automatic change machine is received (No of S71), and when it is determined that the information of the amount of money put into the automatic change machine is received (Yes of S71), the control unit 100 Determines whether the received amount of money matches the first change amount calculated in S24 based on the transaction information selected in S41 (S72). If they do not match (the received amount is insufficient), wait until the amounts match (No in S72). If the amounts do not match, the clerk receives money from the customer to make more money.

If it is determined that the money has matched (Yes in S72), the control unit 100 executes the processing after S42. The display example of the display process of S44 in FIG. 13 is the same as that of FIG. Further, the printing example of the reprinting process of S45 in FIG. 13 is the same as that of FIG. 7.

In this way, the accounting processing unit 101 prints the product information R1, the total amount R2, the first deposit amount R3, and the first change amount R4, which are the information input or calculated in the accounting processing, in the area R21. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the character R5 of "correction" as a boundary between the information before correction and the information after correction in the area R22, and prints the character "deposit", the second deposit amount R7, and "change". "And the second change amount R9 are printed. Further, the receipt issuing unit 105 prints the mark R6 of "*" which is a mark in association with the character of "keeping", and prints the mark R8 of "*" in association with the character of "change". Further, the second deposit amount R7 and the second change amount R9 are underlined and printed. Therefore, the clerk and the customer correctly recognize the first deposit amount and the first change amount before the correction, and the second deposit amount and the second change amount after the correction by dividing the characters of "correction" as a boundary. be able to.

Therefore, in the third embodiment, when the deposit amount is corrected, the clerk and the customer can easily confirm the deposit amount and the change amount before the correction and the corrected deposit amount and the change amount. In addition, since the processing of S43 can be executed when the change amount calculated in S22 and the input amount to the automatic change machine match, re-accounting is performed when the first change amount given to the customer is correctly refunded. Processing can be executed.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment, the deposit re-entry unit 103 receives the second deposit amount re-entered after the accounting processing by the accounting processing unit 101, and re-enters the deposit. The accounting unit 104 re-accounted for the transaction based on the second deposit amount and the total amount received by the money re-entry unit 103, and the receipt issuing unit 105 executed the first deposit amount and the accounting unit. A receipt printed with the accounting processing result, the second deposit amount, and the reaccounting processing result executed by the reaccounting processing unit is issued. Therefore, when the deposit amount is corrected, it is possible to easily confirm the accounting treatment result before the correction and the corrected accounting treatment result.

Further, the accounting processing unit 101 calculates the first change amount calculated based on the first deposit amount and the total amount, and the reaccounting processing unit 104 calculates it based on the second deposit amount and the total amount. The second change amount was calculated, and the receipt issuing unit 105 issued a receipt on which the first change amount and the second change amount were printed. Therefore, when the deposit amount is corrected, the deposit amount and change amount before the correction and the corrected deposit amount and change amount can be easily confirmed.

Further, the accounting processing unit 101 calculates the first change amount calculated based on the first deposit amount and the total amount, and the reaccounting processing unit 104 calculates it based on the second deposit amount and the total amount. The second change amount was calculated, and the receipt issuing unit 105 issued a receipt printed with the difference between the first change amount and the second change amount. Therefore, when the deposit amount is corrected, it is possible to easily confirm the difference between the change amount before the correction and the corrected change amount.
