Abstract

PURPOSE:To construct a system having a large capacity master while it is conventionally an FD system by providing plural PLU masters, and retrieving the PLU master from the numeral of the lowest digit of a PLU code, at the time of the sales registration of a POS system. CONSTITUTION:The PLU code and merchandise information registered by a work station 700 or a POS terminal 100, is set at a first PLU master 500 or a second PLU master 600 in the POS terminal 100, according to the numeral of the lowest one digit of the PLU code. At the time of operating the single sale registration, the PLU code is inputted from a bar code scanner 400 connected with the POS terminal 100, or a keyboard 300. The first PLU master 500 or the second PLU master 600 in the POS terminal 100 are retrieved according to the numeral of the lowest digit of the inputted PLU code, and the merchandise information of the pertinent PLU code is outputted to a screen 200 of the POS terminal 100 or a receipt/journal 800.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a PLU master search method when registering sales for a POS system, and more particularly to a PLU master inspection method with improved processing speed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a general rule, a PLU master in a conventional PCS system is located in one place, and if the master has a capacity that cannot fit in one place, a larger capacity hardware is required.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional method, since the product master is managed in one place in principle, if the number of products is increased, F
With the D system, other files stored in the same medium are moved to another location or the capacity thereof is reduced. If this method does not work, the FD system must be changed to the DISK system, and the hardware configuration cost of the POS system, which is low in price, becomes high.

Further, when the product master is managed at two locations, it may be necessary to read the two files in order, which requires processing time.

[0005]

According to the present invention, "POS"
When registering system sales, set multiple storage locations for the PLU master, and use the number in the lower digit of the PLU code to set P
A PLU master simple search method characterized by performing an LU master search "is obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a more detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in a POS system according to an embodiment of the present invention, when registering a product master, there are cases where a workstation 700 is used and cases where a POS terminal 100 is used, depending on the system. .. Workstation 700 or POS terminal 10
The PLU code and product information registered at 0 is the PO
It is set in the first PLU master 500 or the second PLU master 600 existing in the S terminal 100 according to the last digit of the PLU code.

In the operation of the POS system, when registering a single item sales, a PLU code is input from the bar code scanner 400 or the keyboard 300 connected to the POS terminal 100. The first PLU master 500 or the second PLU master 600 existing in the POS terminal 100 is searched according to the last digit of the input PLU code, and the product information of the corresponding PLU code is searched for.
It is output to the screen 200 of the OS terminal 100 or the receipt / journal 800.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the registration operation of the product master in this embodiment. The PLU code to be registered in the product master is input, and information on the corresponding product (for example, product name, selling price, cost, etc.) is also registered. The PLU code and the product information are set to the first PLU master 500 if the last digit of the PLU code is an odd number, and to the second PLU master 600 if it is an even number.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of sales registration in this embodiment. If you enter the PLU code when registering sales at the POS terminal, this PLU
If the last digit of the code is odd, the first PLU master 500 is searched, and if it is even, the second PLU master 600 is searched, and the product information is output to the screen of the POS terminal and the receipt / journal.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the PLU master can be held separately in a plurality of places, it is possible to construct a system having a large capacity mass with the FD system as it is (in an inexpensive system). When searching for a PLU master, which PLU among a plurality of PLU masters is selected according to the lower digit of the PLU code (lower digit in the embodiment).
The processing speed is PL to decide whether to search the master.
It is possible to construct a high-speed processing system that is almost the same as a system with one U master.
