Abstract

PURPOSE:To arbitrarily designate a period and to output the report of a commodity, which is not sold at all during the designated period, by providing an updating means to update the times of the settlement of account 0 for the commodity, instructing means to instruct the times for the settlement of 0 account and to designate a check and output means to output the commodity identification data of the commodity. CONSTITUTION:Each time the settlement of account is executed for one day, an updat ing means (c) retrieves the commodity, for which sales data in a first storing means (a) are 0, and updates the number of days, when the corresponding commodity is not sold at all, in a second storing means (b). When the time for the settlement of 0 account, namely, the number of the days not sell the commodity at all is designated by an instructing means (d) and it is instructed to check that the commodity is not sold at all, an output means (e) retrieves the commodity, for which the number of the days not to the commodity at all is larger than the number of the days not to sell the commodity relating to designation in the second storing means (b). Then, the commodity identification data of the commodity are outputted. Thus, the period is arbitrarily designated and the report of the commodity, which is not sold at all in the designated period, can be outputted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sales data processing device such as an electronic register, and particularly to a sales data processing device suitable for managing items with low sales.

[Prior Art] In a sales data processing device such as an electronic register, there are cases where products with zero sales are inspected and a report is output as judgment material for deciding whether to discontinue sales or the like.

In this O-sales inspection, for example, if sales data is to be settled on a daily basis, it will be performed at the end of the day's business and before settlement, and a report will be output for products with 0 sales for that day. In this case, a report was being output for products with 0 sales within the periodic settlement period.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, if the day of the zero sales inspection was a special sale day for a similar product or it was raining, etc., the sales may be 0 as is on the day of the zero sales inspection. In some cases, in order to make decisions such as discontinuing sales based on the contents of this zero sales inspection, one day's worth of data is not enough, and several days' worth of data is required.
0 It was necessary to conduct sales inspections many times.

This is due to the fact that it is not possible to arbitrarily specify a period for determining sales O, and a report of sales 0 for each settlement period must be output.

If you specify a period arbitrarily and output a report of products with sales of O within that specified period, you can obtain the desired data with just one inspection instead of having to conduct multiple inspections. It is clear that

An object of the present invention is to arbitrarily specify a period and output a report of products with zero sales within the specified period.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of this invention are as follows.

The first storage means a (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) stores sales data from the previous checkout for each product.

The second storage means stores the number of O settlements for each product, assuming that the sales are O.

Every time a checkout is performed, the updating means C searches the first storage means a for a product whose sales data is 0, and updates the number of zero checkouts for the corresponding product in the second storage means a.

The instruction means d specifies the number of zero settlements and instructs the inspection.

The output means e responds to the instruction by the instruction means d to output the second
Searches for a product for which the number of O-payments is greater than the specified number of O-payments in the storage means, and outputs product identification data for that product.

[Effect] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

Now, the first storage means a is assumed to be settled at the end of each day's business, and one day's worth of data is stored as sales data such as the number of sold items and sales amount for each product. do.

Correspondingly, the second storage means stores, for each product, the number of zero settlements, that is, the number of days with zero sales.

In this case, each time the updating means C performs the payment for the current day, the updating means C searches the first storage means a for the products whose sales data for the day is 0, and searches for the products whose sales data for the day is 0 in the second storage means a. Update the number of days at 0.

Then, when the instruction means d specifies the number of 0 settlements, that is, the number of days of 0 sales, and instructs to check 0 sales, the output means e outputs the number of days of sales 0 according to the specification in the second storage means. Search for a product with more days of zero sales than , and output product identification data for that product.

Therefore, it is possible to arbitrarily specify a period and output a report of products with zero sales within the specified period.

[Example] An example will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram of the sales data processing device, which includes a CPU 1, a key input section 2, a ROM 3, a RAM 4, a display section 5, a printing section 6, an input control section 7, a display driving section 8, a printing control section 9, and a drawer 10.

The cpui performs a series of processes such as processing the sales data input from the key personnel section 2 according to a program preset in the ROM 3, storing the processing results in the RAM 4, displaying them on the display section 5, and printing them on the printing section 6. Controls the sales data registration process.

The key human power section 2 has settings (P), registration (R), power off (
OFF), Inspection (X), Settlement/(Z)1 In addition to the mode changeover switch SW for switching and setting each mode, and the number key 2a for inputting the number of sold items, etc., there is also a 0 sales button for instructing 0 sales inspection. It has various funky keys such as an inspection key 2b.

In the RAM 4, there are formed a PLO file 4a that stores unit prices, sales quantities, sales amounts, inventory quantities, etc. for each product, and a department file 4b that stores sales numbers and sales amounts for each department.

Each record of the PLU file 4a has six areas E1, E2, E3, E4, E5,
E6 is formed, and the following itemized data is stored respectively. That is, the area E1 stores the PLO code as a key item, the area E2 stores the unit price, the area E3 stores the product name (character), the area E4 stores the sales flag, and the area E6 stores the sales amount. Furthermore, either the number of sold items or the number of zero sales days is stored in area E5.

For the sales flag, the sales data of the corresponding product is entered,
This is set when the number of sold items and the amount of sales are updated in area E5 and area E6, respectively. Then, for products for which the sales flag is not set at the time of regular checkout that is performed every time the business day ends, that is, for products with 0 sales, the cumulative number of days with 0 sales is stored in area E5 instead of the number of sales. be done.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

First, the PLO registration process will be explained with reference to FIG.

When sales data including at least PL[J code is input by operation of key human power section 2, cpul
Search the file 4a for a record whose key item is the PLU code related to the input (step S1), and
It is determined whether the sales flag on the searched record has been reset (step S2).

As a result, if the sales flag is reset, it means that the product corresponding to that record was sold for the first time on that day, so first, the sales flag on that record is set (step S3).

Then, the number of sales is stored in area E5 on the record, and the sales amount is stored in area E6 (step S4,
S5) Proceed to step S7. In this case, when the number of sold items is input together with the PLU code, the input number of items is stored as the number of sold items, and the input number of items x unit price is stored as the sales amount. Furthermore, when only the PLU code is input, "1" is stored as the number of sales, and the unit price is stored as the sales amount. In addition, as mentioned above, when proceeding to steps S4 and S5 via step S3, the number of sold items and the sales amount are both 0 before the update, as is clear from the PLO settlement process explained next. ing.

On the other hand, if the sales flag is set, the number of sales and sales amount of the corresponding record (product) are updated based on the input sales data (step S6), step S
Proceed to step 7.

In step S7, based on the input sales data,
The receipt contents are printed on the printing unit 6 and displayed on the display unit 5 (step S6), and the process ends.

As a result of such processing, for products with no sales, their sales flags remain reset.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the PLU settlement process that is carried out each time the day's business ends.゛When the payment mode is set by the mode changeover switch SW, the CPU
sets the record pointer P to "1" as the initial value of the record Nα (step 551), and reads the record of the PLU file 4a indicated by the record pointer P (step 552).

Then, it is determined whether the sales flag on that record has been reset (step 853), and as a result,
When the sales flag has been reset, the contents of area E5 are incremented by 1 (step 554). In this case, the contents of area E5 indicate the number of days with zero sales, as will be described later.

If it is determined in step 353 that the sales flag is set, this means that there has been a sale of the product associated with that record, so the contents of that record are printed (step 555).

Then, when the processing in step S54 or step S55 is completed, the record Nα in the record pointer P is incremented by "1" (step 556),
It is determined whether the record Nα exceeds the last record Nα of the PLU file 4a (step 557).
), as a result, if the final record Nα has not been exceeded, the process returns to step S52 and the PLO file 4a is
The same process is performed for each record.

On the other hand, if it exceeds the final record Nα,
Step 55: Set record pointer P to 1°.
8) Step 559) of reading the record of the PLU file 4a indicated by the record pointer P;
It is determined whether the sales flag on that record is set (step 560). As a result, if the sales flag is set, the contents of area E5 and area E6, that is, the number of sales for the day The sales amount is cleared (step 561), the sales flag is reset (step 562), and the record Nα in the record pointer P is incremented by "1" (step 3).
63), it is determined whether the records exceed the last record Nα of the PLU file 4a (step 564). As a result, if the final record Nα has not been exceeded, the process returns to step S59 and the same process is performed for each record of the PLU file 4a.

If it is determined in step S60 that the sales flag has been reset, the process proceeds to step 363 without going through steps S61 and S62.

As a result of the above processing, for products that have been sold in area E5, the number of sales is cleared and becomes "0".
For products with no sales, the number of payments made as zero sales, that is, the number of days with zero sales, is stored.

The data items in area E5 are identified by the sales flag, and when the sales flag is raised, it indicates the number of items sold, and when it is reset, it indicates the number of days with zero sales.

Next, O sales inspection will be explained with reference to FIG.

When the desired number of days is designated and input using the number key 2a and the 0 sales inspection key 2b is pressed, the CPU sets the record pointer P to "1" (step 5101), and the PLU file 4a indicated by the record pointer P. Read the record (step 5102).

Then, it is determined whether or not the sales flag on that record has been reset (step 5IO3). As a result, if the sales flag has been reset, the area E5
It is determined whether the content of , that is, the number of days with zero sales of the product related to the record, is equal to or greater than the specified input number of days (step 5104).

As a result, if the number of days of sales O for the product is equal to or greater than the specified input number of days, the character of the product and the number of days of zero sales are printed (step S, 105), and step 51
Proceed to 06. When it is determined in step 8103 that the sales flag is set, that is, when the sales of the product related to that record is not 0, and in step 5
If it is determined in step 104 that the number of days with zero sales for the product does not exceed the specified input number of days, the process proceeds to step 5 without printing out the product in step 5105.
Proceed to step 106.

In step 5106, the record Nα in the record pointer P is incremented by "1".

Then, it is determined whether the records exceed the last records of the PLU file 4a (step 5).
107), as a result, if the final records have not been exceeded, the process returns to step 5102 and the same process is performed for each record of the PLU file 4a.

Here, the number of days specified and input means the number of settlements made assuming that sales are 0.
It is clear from the explanation of LO settlement, and the process shown in FIG. 6 means that a report is output only for products with no sales within an arbitrarily specified period.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments,
For example, it is possible to apply the present invention to a case where PLU settlement is not carried out every day, but is carried out separately in the morning and afternoon. Further, instead of using a predetermined area on each record of the PLU file for both the number of sales and the number of zero settlements, an area may be provided on each record specifically for storing the number of zero settlements.

[Effects of the Invention] According to this invention, it is possible to arbitrarily specify a period and output a report of products with zero sales within the specified period.
Desired data can be obtained with just one inspection, eliminating the need for multiple inspections.
