2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, specialty stores are often opened by tenants to manage multiple stores. In such a tenant, transaction data for each customer is registered using a commodity sales data processing device such as a POS terminal, and the aggregated data is transmitted to the tenant's head office or a developer's computer connected by a communication line. There is. Based on this, the head office of the tenant formulates management strategies such as product lineups of stores, and developers are collecting rent and promoting events. Tenants may use or sell products they sell at their own stores. For example, suppose that a tenant who handles stationery takes out an ink ribbon and printing paper from a product shelf and replenishes them in an office machine of his / her own store.
In addition, it is assumed that the clerk mishandles and damages the drawing tool, which is a product. In such a case, it is necessary for the tenant to issue products that do not correspond to the original sales as so-called miscellaneous items and to issue a miscellaneous slip that specifies the reason for each miscellaneous item, and send it to the head office by fax, etc. Has been done.
As a result, the computer of the head office can process both the transaction data transmitted daily from the POS terminal and the miscellaneous product data sent by fax or the like to grasp the product inventory status of the store.

[0003]

However, it takes a great deal of time for the clerk to issue the miscellaneous slip slip by hand and send it to the head office, and due to a mistake in handwriting, the miscellaneous slip slip processing is performed. Is often delayed and it is not possible to accurately reflect the status of product inventory of tenants on the computer of the main store, so management strategies such as product lineups are not properly planned, and sales opportunities at stores are lost. The problem occurred. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to register not only transaction data for a customer in a product sales data processing device but also miscellaneous product data that has been miscellaneous in the own store, and to store a handwritten slip of a clerk. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that does not need to be issued and can respond to prompt and accurate planning of a business strategy.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a miscellaneous product in a product sales data processing device formed so as to enter at least a product code for a sales product for each customer and register transaction data for the customer.

PLU key K2 for entering the PLU (price look up) code attached to each product, # key K3 for entering the subject code, X key K4 for entering the quantity data , Subtotal key K5 for instructing the output of the total amount, deposit / cash total key K6 for inputting the amount of cash received and ending one transaction, miscellaneous key K7 for instructing the input of merchandise data regarding miscellaneous items, etc. Are arranged. When the business processing mode is the registration processing, the POS terminal 1 enables the sales registration processing for the customer and the miscellaneous registration processing at the store. That is, the clerk is required to use the scanner 14 to the numerical keys K1 and PLU.
Enter the PLU code as the product code of the sold product using key 2, and if there are multiple identical products, continue operating X key K4 and numeric key K1 to enter the number data and register the transaction data. . When the registration process is completed for all the products sold to one customer, the subtotal key K5 is input to confirm the total amount of one transaction on the display unit 12, and then the receipt amount is input using the deposit / cash total key K6. Then, one transaction is completed. In the state where one transaction like this is completed, when the miscellaneous key K7 is entered, it is possible to enter the merchandise data regarding the miscellaneous merchandise. Therefore, after that, the store clerk uses the scanner 14 to the PLU key 2 and the numeral key K1.
Then, the PLU code as the product code of the miscellaneous product is input, and if there are a plurality of the same products, the quantity data is continuously input by the X key K4 and the numeric key K1, and the miscellaneous data is registered as miscellaneous data. When the above-mentioned miscellaneous item registration processing for all the miscellaneous items is completed, the deposit / cash total key K6 is input to calculate the total miscellaneous item amount and the miscellaneous item registration process is terminated.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a memory configuration of the RAM 23 related to the present invention. In the figure, a product memory 51 having a quantity totalizer and an amount totalizer corresponding to the PLU code, a miscellaneous memory 52 having a quantity totalizer and an amount totalizer corresponding to the PLU code, and a total amount of one transaction are stored. A total memory 53 and the like are stored.

Next, the registration process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As described above, the miscellaneous key K7 can be accepted while the transaction data for one customer is not registered. So, first, ST
At (step) 1, it is determined whether or not the miscellaneous key K7 is input. If the miscellaneous key K7 is input, the process proceeds to ST15. This detailed explanation will be given later by the miscellaneous item registration processing of FIG. If the miscellaneous key K7 has not been input, it is determined in ST2 whether or not the PLU code as the product code of the sold product has been input from the scanner 14 or the keyboard 11. As a result, when the PLU code is input, in ST3, the product master (not shown) in the RAM 23 is searched and the product information such as the product name and unit price corresponding to the input PLU code is extracted. In ST4, it is determined whether or not the number data is continuously input. As a result, when the number data is input, the unit price extracted in ST5 is multiplied by the input number to calculate the amount of money,
If the number data is not input, the number is set to 1 in ST6, and the extracted unit price is transferred as the amount. In ST7, the number and amount calculated in ST5 to ST6 are respectively accumulated in the quantity totalizer and the amount totalizer corresponding to the PLU code input by searching the product memory 51, and the total amount is also stored in the total memory 53. Accumulate. In ST8, data such as the product name, the number of pieces, and the amount of money are displayed on the display unit 12 and also output to the printer 13 to print a receipt.

Thereafter, in ST10, it is determined whether or not the subtotal key K5 has been input. As a result, if the subtotal key K5 is entered, the total amount of one transaction accumulated in the total memory 53 is read in ST11 and the amount of tax added to this is displayed on the display unit 12. After that, in ST12, it is determined whether or not the deposit / cash total key K6 has been input. As a result, if the deposit / cash key K6 is pressed, ST13
The received amount is processed to calculate the change, the drawer 15 is opened, a receipt is issued, and one transaction is completed. The determination result of ST10 and ST12, the subtotal key K5,
If any key other than the deposit / cash total key K6 is entered, ST
Return to 2 to continue the registration process. If a result other than the PLU code is input in ST2, other processing is performed in ST14, but detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Next, the miscellaneous item registration processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the same figure, in ST22, it is determined whether or not the PLU code as the product code of the miscellaneous product has been input from the scanner 14 or the keyboard 11. As a result, if the PLU code is input, ST2
3, the product master (not shown) in the RAM 23 is searched and product information such as a product name and unit price corresponding to the input PLU code is extracted. In ST24, it is continuously determined whether or not the number data is input. As a result, when the number data is input, the unit price extracted in ST25 is multiplied by the input number to calculate the amount of money, and when the number data is not input, the number is set to 1 in ST26, and The extracted unit price is transferred as the amount of money. In ST27 which is a miscellaneous item registration means, the miscellaneous item memory 5 is stored.
The number and the amount calculated in ST25 to ST26 are respectively accumulated in the quantity totalizer and the amount totalizer corresponding to the PLU code input by searching 2 and the total amount is also accumulated in the total memory 53. In ST28, data such as the product name, the number of pieces, and the amount of money are displayed on the display 12 and also output to the printer 13 to print a receipt.
Thereafter, in ST30, it is determined whether or not the subtotal key K5 has been input. As a result, if the subtotal key K5 is entered, the total amount of one transaction accumulated in the total memory 53 is read out and the amount of tax added thereto is displayed on the display unit 12.

Thereafter, in ST32, the deposit / cash total key K6
It is determined whether or not is input. As a result, when the deposit / cash total key K6 is entered, the total amount of one transaction accumulated in the total memory 53 is read out in ST33, the tax amount is added to this, and the amount is printed on the receipt and one transaction is completed. Let
As a result of the determination in ST30 and ST32, when any key other than the subtotal key K5 and the deposit / cash total key K6 is input, the process returns to ST22 and the miscellaneous item registration process is continued. If a result other than the PLU code is input in ST22, then in ST34
It is determined whether or not the key K3 has been input. As a result, when the # key K3 is input, the numerical data input by the numeral key K1 is output to the printer 13 as the subject code in ST35, and the receipt is printed. As a result, the subject code regarding miscellaneous items such as replenishment, depreciation, and damage at the store is printed on the receipt. This receipt is separately sent to the head office by fax or the like for accounting processing. ST3
If the result of determination in 4 is not #key K3, other processing is performed in ST36, but detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

As described above, in the state where the registration of the transaction data for one customer is completed, the input of the miscellaneous key K7 is accepted and the miscellaneous item registration process is started. The product information such as the product name and unit price corresponding to the input product code is extracted from the product master of the RAM 23 (not shown), and the printer 13
It is output to and printed on the receipt. In addition, the number input to the quantity totalizer of the miscellaneous memory 52 corresponding to the input product code is accumulated. When the # key K3 is input, the numerical data input by the numeric key K1 is similarly printed as a receipt by the printer 13 as a subject code. As a result, a receipt that clearly shows the subject code regarding miscellaneous items such as replenishment, depreciation, and damage at the store is separately sent to the main store by fax or the like, and is processed. After starting the miscellaneous item registration process, the store clerk can proceed with the miscellaneous item registration by substantially the same input operation as the sales registration, so that the operation is easy and the labor is reduced. Further, since the registration processing is performed using the same product master of the RAM 23, it is possible to prevent a product number mistake. The miscellaneous item data subjected to the miscellaneous item registration processing is accumulated in the miscellaneous item memory 52,
On the other hand, transaction data for customers is accumulated in the product memory 51. These are printed on the receipt by the printer 13 by a known method, and the transmission controller 26
Also, since it is transmitted to the computer 3 in the tenant main store 8 via the network 5, the processing of the computer 3 accurately and promptly reflects the product inventory situation in the sales floor of each tenant in the management strategy, thereby providing a sales opportunity in the store. It can be prevented from being lost.

In the POS terminal 1 of this embodiment, an instruction to input merchandise data regarding miscellaneous items is input using the miscellaneous key K7, but it may be instructed using the control lock 16. The miscellaneous memory 52 does not necessarily have to be a separate area and may be merged with the product memory 51. In this embodiment, the POS terminal 1 is connected to the computer 3 in the tenant main store 8 via the network.
Even in the case of a single configuration, the cumulative contents of the product memory 51 and the miscellaneous memory 52 are printed on the receipt by the printer 13, so that the effect can be sufficiently exerted even if the offline processing is performed based on the receipt. Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
