DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 2 shows the overall appearance of the electronic cash register 1 in this embodiment. That is, there is provided a drawer 3 in the shape of a flat housing in which the money case 2 is freely drawn, and the main body case 4 is placed on the drawer 3. This main body case 4 has a key switch 5,
A keyboard 6, a display unit 7, a receipt issuing port 8 and a coin holder 9 are provided, a printer 10 for communicating with the receipt issuing port 8 is built in, and a scanner 11 as a bar code scanner is connected. The printer 10 is a thermal type receipt journal printer.

Next, the electrical connection of each part is shown in FIG.
First, a CPU 12 that intensively performs various processes is provided, and a ROM 13 that stores fixed data such as an operation program and a RAM 14 that stores variable data such as a PLU (Price Look Up) are connected to the CPU 12. An order file 15, which will be described later, is stored in the RAM 14. The drawer 3, the key switch 5, the keyboard 6, the display unit 7, the printer 10, the scanner 11 and the buzzer 16 are connected to the CPU 12 via a controller (not shown) or the like.

Next, FIG. 3 shows the structure of the order file 15. The order file 15 is a memory having a structure in which a product name 18, a unit price 19, a quantity 20, a price 21, a consumption tax 22 and a billing amount 23 are rewritably stored for each order reception number 17, and one order is stored. It is formed so as to be able to store information about a plurality of products in association with the reception number 17.
