Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration data processing device. In particular, it is configured so that registered product data can be checked at any time by looking at the journal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional product sales registration processing using a product sales registration data processing device is performed as follows. The cashier uses the scanner or the keyboard to input the product code of the product purchased by the customer. Then, the CPU searches the product data file, reads the product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product code, and registers the product in the registration file. At the same time, the contents are displayed on the display. This input operation is executed for all customer-purchased products, and the registration is completed by pressing the subtotal key when a series of input operations is completed. Then, the total amount of money or the like is obtained, and thereafter, the change key or the like is calculated by pressing the closing key such as the deposit / cash total key, and the settlement including the money transfer is performed using the opened drawer. At this time, all the registered product data are printed on a receipt and a journal by the printer, and the issued receipt is delivered to the customer together with the change. The printing mode on the receipt is as shown in FIG. 4, for example.

[0003]

By the way, the cashier sometimes wants to confirm the product data registered before that while inputting the product data. For example, when a plurality of the same products are purchased, whether or not the number of the products is correctly keyed in, whether or not the bargain product for the day is entered at the bargain price, and the like. However, in the model of the conventional example in which printing on the journal and the receipt is collectively performed after the registration is completed due to the printer control method or the like, the printed journal cannot be confirmed until it is viewed. Therefore, if there is an erroneous input, it is necessary to perform the cancel operation, the re-input operation, etc. after the registration is completed, which may reduce the work efficiency and the reliability of the customer. Also, the paper is wasted. Nowadays, as shown in FIG. 4, where the same customer purchases a large quantity of products in a lump, there is a demand for an urgent solution to the above problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of accurately and easily confirming merchandise data registered before any time during registration work.

[0005]

A product sales registration data processing device according to the present invention reads input product data from a product data file and registers it in a registration file, and after registration completes all registered product data in a journal. Also, in the product sales registration data processing device formed to print on the receipt, the intermediate print execution declaration means and the product data registered so far are forced to the journal on condition that the execution declaration of the intermediate print is declared. And a forced print control means for performing a desired print.

[0006]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when it is desired to confirm the merchandise data previously registered during the normal merchandise sales registration business, the intermediate printing execution declaring means is used to make such a declaration. Then, the forcible printing control means prints the product data registered so far on the journal. Therefore, the cashier can confirm the registered product data at any time accurately and easily by reading the printed contents of the journal.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The product sales registration data processing device has a basic structure composed of a general electronic cash register 10 shown in FIG. 1, and has a midway print execution declaration means (20D) and a midway print control means (11, 12, 22). Is provided and it is possible to print the merchandise data registered by then on the journal at any time by declaring execution of printing on the way.

In FIG. 1, an electronic cash register 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a printer connected via a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a clock circuit 14, a scanner 19 (scanner circuit 15), a keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16), a display 21 (display control circuit 17), and an input / output port 18. 22 (printer drive circuit 24), drawer 23 (drawer opening device 25), etc., and is formed so that merchandise sales registration work and the like can be performed.

That is, the scanner 19 to the keyboard 2
When the product code is input using 0, the CPU 11 searches the product data file 10F and searches for product data (product name,
Unit price) is set and registered in the read registration file 13R (ST10 in FIG. 3). The registered product data is displayed on the display 2.
It is displayed in 1. In addition, the registered product data is expanded as needed, and is formed into a journal buffer 13 having a partial storage area of the RAM 13 shown in FIG.
