[0011]

In the present invention, the return of goods is declared by the return of goods declaration means, and the reason for the return of goods is input by the means of return of goods input means before or after this. Then, the return-by-reason storage unit stores the return reason and the amount of the returned product in association with each other. Therefore,
When there is an output command, the output control means for each reason outputs the amount of money, etc. of all returned products for each return reason.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The basic structure of the product sales registration device is shown in FIG.
1, which is the same as the conventional example shown in FIG. 1; Is provided so that the total amount of returned goods and the like can be classified and output according to the reason.

That is, the return-declaration means 20 is constructed as shown in the keyboard 11 of FIG. 1 so as to be specialized for this or to also function as another key. Declared that the data entered after this is the reason for the return and ROM
3 is stored according to the procedure of the return program shown in FIG. 3 stored in FIG.

The reason for return is input by the return reason input means 21. In this embodiment, the numerical keys "1" to "8" arranged on the keyboard 11 are also used. For example, the numeric key "1" is the product transformation,
"2" is product discoloration, "3" is product corrosion, "4" is water leakage,
Each key has its own reason for return, such as "5" is torn, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in ST (steps) 10 and 11 of FIG. 3, the return reason declaring means 20 is operated after keying in the reason for the return. Of course, the returned goods declaration means 20 may be operated first, or both of them 20 and 21 may be simultaneously performed.

After the return of goods is declared, the CPU 2 checks whether or not the key input is the return reason input key (specifically, one of the numeric keys "1" to "8"). (ST12 in FIG. 3). If NO is determined, an error is processed together with an alarm (ST16). On the other hand, if YES is determined, the reason for the return is displayed on the monitor 16 and printed on the printer 18 (ST13, 1).
4).

Next, the return-by-reason storage means is composed of the CPU 2, ROM 3, RAM 4 and the like in this embodiment. More specifically, the CPU 2 correlates the reason entered by the reason for return item input means 21 based on the program stored in the ROM 3 with the amount of the returned item, the product code, etc. entered before and after the reason, according to the reason in the RAM 4. It is stored in the return area (RTN1 to RTN8 in FIG. 2) (ST15).

When there is an output command (ST17), the reason-based output control means controls the return data stored in the RAM 4 to the monitor 16 and the printer 18 according to the reason (ST18). In this embodiment, the CPU 2 and the ROM
3, it is understood that it is formed from RAM4. In addition,
It is supposed that ST17 and ST18 can be arbitrarily executed, for example, after the store is closed or after one week without passing ST10 to 15 in FIG.
