Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a printing time and save a receipt from in a shop where many articles are handled by allowing print items per article to be freely set on a user side as to various single-article reports. CONSTITUTION:Selection information indicating whether or not data on each single article in a single-article table needs to be printed corresponding to a single-article report is set in a print selection table before the output of a single article. Therefore, when the printing-out of the single-article report is commanded in inspection or reckoning mode, the selection information corresponding to the single-article report is read out of the printing selection table and necessary print items are read out of the single-article table by articles according to the read selection information and printed out as single-article reports. Consequently, print items per article in various single-article reports can freely be set on the user side, the printing time is shortened in the shop where many articles are handled, and the receipt form is saved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device having a single item registration function.

[Prior Art] For example, in a PO3 (point of sale) system in which multiple electronic cash registers and one file controller are connected in-line through a transmission line, the file controller generally A single item table is formed that stores single item setting data such as unit price and name of the item in correspondence with the code, and also stores sales data of the item. Then, in the registration business mode, when the single item code of a sales product is entered at a certain electronic cash register, the register makes an inquiry to the file controller for the single item setting data,
Single item setting data corresponding to the input single item code is read from the single item table and sent back to the register that made the inquiry. The register that receives the single item setting data obtains sales data from the single item setting data, and prints out this sales data on a receipt. Further, the sales data is transmitted to the file controller and cumulatively registered as sales data in the single item table for each corresponding item code.

In a product sales pig processing device having such a single item registration function, it is possible to print out various single item reports in a predetermined printing format based on the data for each product stored in the single item table. , which is extremely useful for data management for each product.

FIG. 11 shows a printed example of a single item sales report, and FIG. 12 shows a printed example of a single item setting report. As shown in the figure, both reports have the current date 1.
Receipt number 2. After printing the report name 3 and symbol 4 indicating whether it is in “inspection” mode (X) or “checkout” mode (Z), write each data necessary for the report for each product on multiple lines. It is designed to be printed. Here, in the single item sales report shown in Figure 11, a printing area of 7 lines is secured for each product, and the first line has the name 5.
, the second line shows the link department code 6 and the single item code 7, the third line shows the normal sales number 8 and the normal sales amount 9, and the fourth line shows the inventory quantity 10 and the normal unit price 11. The fifth line prints out the number of discounts 12 and the total discount amount 13, the sixth line prints the number of sale points 14 and the sale sales amount 15, and the seventh line prints the sale unit price 16. .

On the other hand, in the single item setting report shown in Figure 12, a print area of 10 lines is secured for each product, and the same data as the single item sales report is printed out from the 1st line to the 7th line, and the 8th line From line 1 to line 10, various setting statuses of 17.18° and 19.20 are printed out.

Incidentally, in general, the printing format of various single item reports is set in advance by the manufacturer, and it is no longer possible for the user to freely change it. In order to enable users to accurately manage data using single-item reports, various types of items can be printed for one product in various reports.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 12, in most cases, printing is performed over multiple lines for each product.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, if the number of lines printed per product in various single-item reports extends to many lines, the various single-item reports become long in stores that handle many products, and it takes a huge amount of time to print them. It takes. For this reason, there is a desire on the user side to print only the minimum amount of silver required for each item in any single item report, thereby shortening printing time and saving receipt paper. Since the printing format for specific product sales data is set in advance by the manufacturer, it is not possible to select and print only specific printing items.

Therefore, the present invention enables the user to freely set the printing items for each product in various single-item reports, and enables product sales data that can shorten printing time and save receipt paper even in stores that handle a large number of products. The purpose is to provide a processing device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has a single item table that stores single item setting data such as unit price and name of each item in correspondence with the single item code of each item, and also stores sales data of the item. , When the single item code of a sales product is input in registration business mode, the corresponding single item setting data is read from the single item table to obtain sales data, this sales data is cumulatively registered in the single item table for each applicable single item code, and inspection or settlement is performed. In a product sales data processing device that prints out various single item reports based on the data for each product stored in the single item table in business mode, it is necessary for each data for each item in the single item table to correspond to the various single item reports. a printing selection table that stores selection information on whether or not to print items; a selection information setting means that sets selection information for each individual report in the printing selection table; and printout of any one of the individual reports in the inspection or payment mode. A selection information reading means reads selection information corresponding to the corresponding single item report from the printing selection table when commanded, and necessary printing items are selected for each product from the single item table based on the selection information read by the selection information reading means. If the device is equipped with a report output control means that reads and prints out the corresponding single item report, before outputting a certain single item report,
By setting the selection information of whether or not the printing item is necessary for each item data in the single item table in correspondence with the report in the print selection table, the printout of the single item report can be performed in the point pouring or checkout mode. When the command is given, selection information corresponding to the single item report is read from the print selection table, and based on the read selection information, necessary printing items are read for each product from the single item table and printed out as the corresponding single item report.

As shown in FIG. 5, the keyboard 52 has, in addition to the number keys 61 for ro OJ rOJ to "9", a subtotal key 62, a current total key 63, a clear key 64, a cancel key 65, and a date key 61. key 66, multiplication key 67, # key 68
, an exchange key 69, and various other function keys are provided.

In addition, in the RAM 43 of the master terminal 22-I,
In addition to the memory necessary for the sales registration described above, a print item table 70 shown in FIG. 6 and a print selection table 80 shown in FIG. 7 are formed.

The printing item table 70 is a table for allocating printing items for each printing line for data of one product in the single item table 33a printed on various single item reports, and corresponds to data A-J specifying printing lines. Single table 33
Data specifying the memory area in which the data of the corresponding print item in a is stored is set in advance. Note that this data setting is performed by the manufacturer, and this embodiment relies on the printing format of the conventional single item sales report and single item setting report shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. That is, the name is assigned to the first line A, and the link department and single item code are assigned to the second line B. Similarly,
The 3rd line C shows the number of regular sales items and the normal sales amount, the 4th line shows the inventory quantity and the regular unit price, the 5th line B shows the number of discounts and the total discount amount, and the 6th line F shows the special sale. Assign the number of sales points and sale sales amount, the sale unit price to the 7th line G, status 4 to the 8th line H, status 1 and 2 to the 9th line ■, and status 3 to the 10th line. .

The print selection table 80 includes print selection flags (print selection flags) indicating whether or not the data of the print items assigned to each print line by the print item table 70 is to be printed in the report, corresponding to the specification codes of various single item reports. :1.
This is used to set and store the setting (20) not to print, and the print selection flag consists of 2 bytes for one single item report.

Of the 8 bits of the first byte, the 7th bit from the top is used as the print selection flag for the print item in print lines A to G, and the 8th bit from the bottom is used as the second bit.
Used as a flag to identify whether to use bytes. In the second byte, the upper three bits are used as print selection flags for the print items of print lines H-J, and the others are unused.

The setting of each print selection flag in the print selection table 80 is performed in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 with the "setting" mode selected by the mode switch 44 in the master terminal 22-1. That is, the CP of master terminal 22-1
When key data is input from the keyboard 52, U41 checks the current business mode and interprets the key data as being in the "setting" mode. Then, the key data is data indicating the settings of the print selection table 80 (for example, the numeric key 61
If "92" is entered and then the date key 67 is input), then in ST (step) 1, a code specifying the type of report is input. For example, when the # key 68 is input after entering a number using the numeric key 61, it is recognized that a code specifying the type of report has been input by the numeric key, and all the codes corresponding to the report with the corresponding code in the print selection table 80 are Reset the print selection flag to 0".

Next, in ST2, the process waits for the manual input of print selection data indicating which print items to select for the report. Here, the print selection data is data that first specifies a bit serving as a flag of the selected print item for the first byte that constitutes the print selection flag of each print item corresponding to print lines A to G. Printed item “Name” on line A
When selecting the print item "Number of sales points, sales amount" in print line C, the print selection data becomes [13].

Therefore, in ST2, for example, when the exchange key 69 is input manually after entering a number using the numeric key 61, it is recognized that the print selection data has been input using the numeric entry, and the STI code is manually reset to "0". Among the 1-byte print selection flags, the flag corresponding to the print selection data is set to "1" and the others are held to "O". Next, it is determined whether the 8th bit of the first byte is 1 or 0. If the 8th bit is "0", the second byte is not used and the process proceeds to ST3. On the other hand, if the 8th bit is “1”, the second
Since it uses bytes, it waits for the next print selection data to be input. Here, for example, if the exchange key 69 is input after entering a number using the numeric key 61, it is recognized that the print selection data has been entered by the numeric value, and the second Among the print selection flags of the byte, the flag corresponding to the print selection data is set to "1" and the others are held to "0".Then, the process proceeds to ST3.

In ST3, it is determined whether the current total key 63, which declares the end of setting of the print selection table 80, has been input or not, and if it has not been input, the process returns to STI and the above-described process is repeated. If it has been input, this setting process ends.

In this way, when the print selection flags are set for each type of single report in the print selection table 80, the image shown in FIG. Output processing of various single item reports is executed according to the flowchart shown.

That is, when key data is input from the keyboard 52, the CPU 41 of the master terminal 22-1 checks the current business mode and interprets the key data as being in the "inspection" or "settlement" mode. Assuming that the key data is data indicating an output command for the single item report set in the print selection table 80 (for example, inputting the code of the report using the number key 61 and then inputting the current total key 63), ST (Step) As step 11, read out all print selection flags for 2 bytes corresponding to the corresponding single item report from the print selection table 80, and read 7 from the first bit of the first byte.
The print selection flags up to the first bit and from the first bit to the third bit of the second byte are sequentially stored in the flag area 71 of the print item table 70.

Next, as ST2, the data corresponding to the print item whose flag in the flag area 71 in the item table 7o is "1" is transferred to the single item table 33 of the file controller 21.
The products are taken out in order from item a and stored in the print buffer in the RAM 43. Then, the printer 49 is used as ST3.
The report data stored in the print buffer is printed out on a receipt, and this processing is completed.

In addition, in each POS terminal 22, the sales of the products for sale are registered in the following manner with the mode switch 44 selecting the "registration" mode. 〒Nareru. That is, when the barcode of a sales product is read by the barcode scanner 56 in the "registration" mode, the CPU 41 of each POS terminal 22 converts this barcode into a single item code and edits a makeshift message to the file controller 21. Please make inquiries. Then,
In the file controller 21, the single item table 33
The unit setting data such as name 1 normal unit price corresponding to the unit code inquired from a is read out and sent to the corresponding terminal 22, so the terminal 22 receives this response message and sells at the normal unit price. The sales amount is calculated by multiplying the points (if there is a multiplication registration, then the multiplier; if there is no multiplication, then "1"). Then, the name, sales amount, etc. are displayed on the display 54, and the name 1 normal unit price, number of items sold, sales amount, etc. are printed on the receipt by the printer 49. Further, the sales data message including the number of sales items, sales amount, etc. is edited and sent to the file controller 21. File controller 21 that received the sales data message
, the number of sales items and sales amount are added and registered to the number of sales items and sales amount of the corresponding single item code.

In this embodiment having such a configuration, the print selection table 80 can be changed by selecting the "setting" mode with the mode switch 44 on the master terminal 22-1 and manually inputting a code specifying the settings of the print selection table 80. 8
It becomes possible to change the setting of the print selection flag corresponding to the various single item reports of 0. In this state, the code of the single item setting report at the time of inspection is manually printed as selection data on r12.
478J and "13", enter the code for the single item sales revo-to at the time of inspection, and then enter "13" as the print selection data.
", enter the code for the special sales report at the time of inspection, enter r1356J as the print selection data, enter the code for the single item sales report at the time of checkout, and enter r1234567J as the print selection data. The print selection flag is set as shown in FIG.

After that, select the "inspection" mode with the mode switch 44 on the master terminal 22-1 (l7), and input the code specifying the single item sales report at the time of inspection, and each print selection flag corresponding to the report is selected from the print selection table 80. is read out and stored in flag area 71 of print item table 70 in correspondence with print lines A-J. In this case, print lines A and C are “1” and other lines are “0”.
Therefore, the print item "name" corresponding to print line A,
The print item "number of sales points, sales amount" corresponding to print line C is selected. As a result, the file controller 21
The print item ``name'' and the print item ``number of sales items, sales amount'' are sequentially read out from the single item table 3a of the products, and are printed out on a receipt by the printer 9 in the master terminal 22-I.

An example of the printed output at this time is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is the date, 2 is the receipt number, 3 is the report name, and 4
indicates the "inspection" code, each 5 indicates the name of the product, each 8 indicates the number of sales points, and each 9 indicates the sales amount.

In this way, in the master terminal 22-8, for example, necessary printing items (in this embodiment, printing line A By selecting only the items corresponding to C and C), only the data of the necessary printing items can be extracted from the single item table 33a, printed on the receipt, and issued as a single item sales report at the time of inspection. This is possible for all single item reports set in the print selection table 80. In other words, according to this embodiment, since the user can freely select the items to be printed for one product to be printed on various single item reports, printing time can be shortened by printing out only the minimum necessary data. Not only that, you can also save on receipt paper. Therefore, especially in stores that handle a large number of products, "inspection" and "payment" operations can be carried out more efficiently, which is very effective, and receipts can also be saved significantly, which has a large economic effect. It is.

In the above embodiment, the setting work for the print selection table 80 is performed from the master terminal 22-I, but it is of course possible to perform the setting work from the upper host computer 25. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the printing items per product are assigned to each printing line depending on the printing format of the conventional single item report, and selection is made using the printing selection flag for each printing line. The layout method is not limited to this embodiment, and for example, selection may be made using print selection flags for each print item. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the present invention was
An example applied to the S system is shown below.1. However, it goes without saying that it can also be applied to a single electronic cash register that has a single item registration function. It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the user can freely set the printing items for each product in various single product reports, and the printing time can be reduced even in stores that handle a large number of products. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can shorten the processing time and save receipt paper.
