Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a POS register,
Especially bulk sales (hereinafter referred to as bundle sales)
In this case, the present invention relates to a POS register in which the total price at the time of sale does not change regardless of the input order of products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional POS register, when a certain number of set products for a plurality of specific products having different prices are bundled, the POS register is sold as a bundle sale. The price of a product is set to a fixed price (bundle price), and the difference between the original selling price and the total price of those products is used as the discount amount.

For example, product A (100 yen each) and product B
If you specify "250 yen for 3 items" for any combination of products A and B for (120 yen for one item), every time 3 items are input for any combination of the target products A and B in the conventional POS register. In addition, the discount amount is calculated so that the selling price of the three products is 250 yen.

[0004]

In the above setting example, in the case of inputting two products A and two products B, a total of four, four
Since the discount amount differs depending on whether the item to be input as the item is A or B, the total amount also differs. In other words, if the product input order is A → A → B → B, the previously input A2 and B1 will be 250 yen, so the total amount will be 370 yen, while the product input order is To B →
When B → A → A, 250 yen for 2 B1 and A1
The total amount will be 350 yen, and there will be a difference of 20 yen.

As described above, in the conventional POS register,
Since the discount is calculated only when it becomes a multiple of the set number, if the entered number of bundled products does not become a multiple of the set number, the target product after becoming the multiple of the set number Has the drawback that the total price after discounting will change depending on the order in which the target products are entered, because the original selling price of the products is totaled.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a POS register in which the total amount of money at the time of sale does not change regardless of the input order of products.

[0007]

The POS register of the present invention comprises first storage means for storing merchandise information including a merchandise code, a merchandise selling price, and bundled sales judgment information indicating whether or not the merchandise is a collectively sold object, Second storage means for storing bundle information including a set number of bundled sales and a set price, input means for inputting a product code, and from the first storage means for each supply of the product code from the input means. First calculation means for reading corresponding product information and accumulating the selling prices of the input products, and bundle sale judgment information of the product information read by the first calculation means for each input of the product code. Sort holding means for taking in product information of products to be investigated and collected and rearranging and holding the product information in order of selling price, and bundle information is read from the second storage means and held in the sort holding means. Second calculating means for calculating the bundle discount amount corresponding to the bundle information for the products in the sorted order and integrating the bundle discount amount, the integrated value of the first calculating means and the integrated value of the second calculating means. And a display means for displaying the difference from the display.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the POS register of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the POS register of the present embodiment stores a product information table 1 for storing product information such as a product name, a product code, a selling price, and a bundle sale determination flag indicating whether or not the product is a bundle sale target product. And a bundle information table 2 for storing bundle information indicating bundle selling conditions such as the number of bundles sold (the number of bundles) and the bundle price.
, A product code input unit 3 for inputting a product code, a pre-discount total value calculation unit 4 for calculating a total value before discount, and products to be bundled are extracted from the input products and rearranged in order of high selling price. A bundle target product sorting unit 5, a bundle discount amount calculation unit 6 that calculates a bundle discount amount of a bundle target product by referring to the bundle information, and a discount amount display unit 7 that displays a discount amount. Has been done.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The product code input to the product code input unit 3 is supplied to the pre-discount total value calculation unit 4. here,
For each input, the product sales price corresponding to the input product code and the bundle sales determination flag are read from the product information table 1 and the sales prices of all the input products are added up.

On the other hand, the bundling target product sorting unit 5 extracts the product information of the bundling target product from the products input by the bundle sale determination flag in the product information read by the pre-discount total value calculation unit 4 and inputs the information. Items are sorted and held in descending order of product selling price.

The bundle discount amount calculation unit 6 receives information about the number of bundles and the bundle price from the bundle information table 2, and performs a corresponding process on the sorted bundle target products in the bundle target product sorting unit 5. That is, the bundling target products in the bundling target product sorting unit 5 are taken out in descending order of the selling price for each bundle number (this is easy because they are sorted in that order), and the difference between the total selling price and the bundle price is calculated. The total of this difference is given as a bundle discount. No discount will be given to products with a fraction less than the number of bundles.

FIG. 2 is an operation example diagram showing an operation process example of this embodiment.

The bundle information as a premise is "250 yen for three products" for product A (100 yen for one product) and product B (120 yen for one product). In each transaction shown in FIG. 2, two products A and B are sold, but
In Case 1 and Case 2, the input order of the products is changed.

In case 1, the product is B → B → A →
Input in the order of A. When you enter 3 products first,
Bundle sales conditions are established for 1 product A and 2 products B,
Originally it was 340 yen, but it was 250 yen due to bundle sales, so a discount of 90 yen was incurred. The product A is added to the bundling target product sorting unit 5 when the product A of the fourth product A of 100 yen is input, but the discount of 90 yen does not change because it is already in the descending order of the price and there is no need to rearrange it. . As a result, the total price of the four products after discount is 350 yen.

In case 2, the products are A → A → B →
Input in the order of B. When you enter 3 products first,
Bundle sales conditions are established for two products A and one product B,
Originally 320 yen, but 250 yen for bundle sales, so a discount of 70 yen is incurred. At the time when the fourth product B120 yen is input, the sorting of the product B is interrupted in the bundling target product sorting unit 5, and the sorting is performed, and the product A1 and the product B2 are bundled. A discount of 90 yen is recalculated with priority on sales. As a result,
The total price of the four products after discount is 350 yen, which is in agreement with the calculation result of Case 1.

In this way, in this embodiment, the total amount of money at the time of sale is always constant regardless of the input order.

[0020]

As described above, the POS register of the present invention always takes out bundled products for sale and rearranges them in the order of selling prices, thereby calculating the discount amount, regardless of the input order of the products. There is an effect that the total amount becomes constant and customer satisfaction can be further improved.
