○ You will get a yen discount. Please join a card member. A message to be printed on the receipt such as “” is stored in advance.

The POS terminal device 1 is provided with a key input device 6 including various keys such as a numeric keypad, attached to each product,
A bar code scanner 7 for reading a bar code B indicating product information such as a product code (which may include a unit price), and various input devices of a card handling device 8 for reading a member (card) number recorded on a card C. Are connected. The card handling device 8 is preferably a reader / writer capable of writing information on a card.

Next, a case where the customer is a card member, but presents the membership card after entering the product code will be described. For example, when the cashier is a two-person system, that is, in the case of a system in which another person inputs the product code and exchanges the product and the price, the card presentation is usually inevitable after the product code is input. Become. In such cases,
It is called a post-declaration of being a card member, and is distinguished from the pre-declaration that is made before the code input as described above.

In the present apparatus, even in the case of the subsequent declaration, almost the same operation and operation as in the case of the previous declaration are performed, but in the case of the subsequent declaration, when the member discount amount is read, Since it is not possible to determine whether or not the member is a member, whether or not to use the member discount amount is in a reserved state. Therefore, in this example, the member discount amount is shown in parentheses on the receipt 10 as described later. The other operations and operations are the same as in the case of the above declaration, so further description will be omitted.

Next, an example of a receipt issued at the time of declaration will be described.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of a receipt issued in the later declaration.

In the receipt 10 of this example, since it is not known whether the customer is a member at the time of hitting the key, as shown in FIG. 3, the amount shown in the member discount amount column 18d is "( -600) "and" (-200) "are shown in parentheses.

Then, a message for customers who are not card members, that is, "If you show your membership card, you will get a total of XX yen in membership price products. Please join the card member by all means." Insert the above member discount amount of 800 yen into the amount column. Since other operations and operations are the same as those in the case where the customer is a member, description of further operations and operations will be omitted, and description will be given to the receipt issued in this case.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of the receipt 10 issued when the customer is not a card member.

In this receipt 10, since there is no member discount, the member discount amount column 18d shows the amount that will be discounted if the user is a member, in parentheses as in the case of the second embodiment. . Specifically, "(-60
0) ”and“ (−200) ”. The receipt 10 does not include the member discount amount total column 22 and the member price column 24, as a matter of course. In addition, in the message field 36, the specific benefits that can be received by card members and a message of solicitation to card members, that is, "If you show your membership card, you will get a total membership price product of 800 yen. Please join a card member by all means. " Furthermore, if you are a card member, you may specify that you will also receive service points.

The service points are based on the current points according to the current purchase price (member price) and the new cumulative points obtained by adding the current points to the cumulative points during the predetermined period until the current purchase. In addition to being magnetically recorded on the magnetic stripe of the membership card C, it is also recorded in the membership data file 5 of the host computer 4.

When the member price is calculated at the time of purchasing the above-mentioned declaration, the present point is calculated in the POS terminal 1 according to the member price "2500 yen". Here, since 1 point is given for every 100 yen, 25 points are calculated. Next, the new points are calculated by adding the current points to the current points. Here, it is assumed that the old cumulative points are 68 and that 25 is added to the new cumulative points to become 93. The current points and the new cumulative points are updated and written in the member card C, and are transmitted to the member data file 5 of the host computer 4 to perform processing such as updating the cumulative points.
Further, the present point and the accumulated points are also printed on the receipt 10.

Next, a receipt on which the above points are printed will be described.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the receipt in which points are also described.

The receipt 10 is provided with a point column 40 for describing the points issued to the card member according to the purchase price, in addition to the contents of the receipt issued at the time of the previous declaration purchase. In this point column, the present point column 41 showing the present point according to the member total price shown in the member price column 24, and this present point are added to the accumulated points during the predetermined period until the time of this purchase and obtained. The new accumulated points and the accumulated total point column 42 are shown. In this example,
The current point is shown as "25" and the cumulative point is shown as "93". The contents of the message in the message column 36 may be the same as those in the above declaration.

As described above, the receipt issued by the sales management device is particularly effective in expanding and fixing card members.

In the above-described embodiment, the membership card is used to determine whether or not the member is a card member. However, the customer is asked for the membership number and the membership number is input to the POS terminal device by the key input device. May be done by
