2. Description of the Related Art A commodity sales registration data processing device is adapted to perform registration processing of various data relating to a commodity purchased by a customer. This product sales registration data processing device is provided with data input means for inputting and operating various data with a keyboard, a touch scanner or the like, and data registration for executing registration processing based on the product data input by this data input means. The means and the data tightening means for executing the tightening processing are configured by software and hardware resources including a CPU.

Data generating means for appropriately generating transaction data corresponding to the above-mentioned registration processing and closing processing, and data conversion for converting transaction data generated by such data generating means into receipt data and journal data. Means are also provided in the procedure of the above configuration, and further, the receipt issuing means for printing out the receipt data and the journal data on the recording paper to issue the receipt and the journal forming means for forming the journal are the CPU and the R / J (Receipt /
Journal) printer and the like.

The receipt issued by the receipt issuing means as described above is handed to the customer as a record, and the journal formed by the journal forming means is stored as a record of the store. For example, when a customer who purchases a product requests the return of a defective product, the sales record of the product is found from the journal to confirm the work content.

Then, a transaction printing method in which transaction data appropriately generated in the registration processing and closing processing is immediately converted into receipt data and journal data by the data conversion means and sequentially printed by the receipt issuing means and the journal forming means, A batch printing method is known in which transaction data is temporarily stored, edited into receipt data and journal data, and then collectively printed.

In the batch printing method, the data storage means for sequentially storing transaction data that is appropriately generated is composed of a RAM or the like, and the transaction data stored in the data storage means is edited in correspondence with the closing processing. The receipt editing means for generating receipt data and the journal editing means for generating journal data, the receipt issuing means for collectively printing the receipt data on the recording paper and issuing the receipt, and the batch printing of the journal data on the recording paper A journal forming means for forming a journal is configured by a procedure based on a set program and the above hardware resources.

In the sales business using the above-mentioned merchandise sales registration data processing device, transaction data for which registration processing has been executed may be canceled during the sales business due to erroneous operation of a clerk or customer's request. is there. The data canceling means for executing the transaction data canceling processing based on the input data of the data inputting means and the data deleting means for deleting the transaction data accumulated by the data accumulating means corresponding to the canceling processing of the data canceling means are also set. The procedure is based on the programmed program.

In the batch printing type merchandise sales registration data processing device, since the transaction data which has been canceled is not printed on the receipt and the journal, the appearance of the receipt and the journal can be improved.

[0010]

In the conventional product sales registration data processing device, the transaction data is edited and then collectively printed on the receipt or the journal, so that the appearance and the visibility of the receipt or the journal can be improved. .

However, since the transaction data that has been canceled as described above does not remain in the journal, the transaction data that has been canceled cannot be confirmed after the fact.

That is, in the sequential printing method in which the transaction data appropriately generated in the registration process or the like is immediately converted into the receipt data and the journal data and sequentially printed on the recording paper 31, as shown in FIG. Since the canceled transaction data is printed together with the journal 35, it is possible to easily confirm the canceled transaction data after the fact by visually recognizing the journal 35 in the store.

On the other hand, in the batch printing method in which transaction data appropriately generated in registration processing etc. is temporarily stored, and then edited into receipt data and journal data and collectively printed,
As illustrated in FIG. 9, a receipt 36 and a journal 37
Since the transaction data that has been canceled is not printed, it is not possible to confirm the transaction data that has been canceled even after visually observing the journal 37 at the store.

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 8, when the transaction data is immediately converted into receipt data and journal data and sequentially printed, the canceled transaction data can be confirmed in the journal 35, but in this case Since the transaction data having the same content will be printed again and modified with a line or the like, it is not preferable because confirmation of the content of the canceled transaction data is complicated and the consumption amount of the recording paper 31 increases. Further, the receipt 34 on which the transaction data and the cancellation data thus canceled are printed is not easy to check the contents and is not good in appearance.

The program control in the case where the sales operation is performed by the apparatus 1 having such a configuration will be sequentially described in detail below with reference to the flowcharts illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the tightening process is started by the input operation of the tightening key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 (step S1), the input operation of the product key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 or the touch scanner 5 is performed. Whether to start the registration process by reading a barcode or the like (step S2) or to start the cancellation process by an input operation of a cancel key (not shown) of the keyboard 7 (step S3) is repeatedly determined. For example, when a customer brings a product that the customer wants to purchase to this sales floor, a salesclerk who visually recognizes the product starts the registration process by optically reading the barcode of the product with the touch scanner 5.

When the start of the registration process is detected in step S2, the product data is read from the PLU table 19 of the RAM 15 by the input product code and displayed and output on the display 6 (step S4), and this product data is stored in the work area 24. Then, the registration process is executed by storing it in (step S5). At this time, in the registration process of step S5, transaction data including a name, a unit price, etc. is also generated based on the product data.
As illustrated in (a), the generated transaction data is added with a print flag of “1” indicating the registration processing and is added to the RAM.
It is stored in the memory area 21 of 15 (step S
6).

When this step S6 is completed,
Since the above steps S1 to P3 are repeated after returning to the initial state, normally, the store clerk repeats the input operation of the keyboard 7 and the touch scanner 5 for all the products that the customer wants to purchase, and thus the steps S2 and S4 are repeated. The registration processing by S6 and the generation and storage of transaction data are repeatedly executed. Normally, when the registration process is completed as described above, the closing process is executed and the sales business is ended.
In some cases, the cancellation process may be executed due to an erroneous operation or the customer's request before the closing process.

When the start of the cancellation process is detected in step S3, the RAM 15 is input according to the input data of the keyboard 7.
Corresponding transaction data is searched from the memory area 21 to determine the presence / absence (steps S7 and S8).
Is displayed and output, and then returned to the initial state (step S
9). When the corresponding transaction data is detected in step S8, the transaction data is displayed and output on the display 6 (step S10), and the cancellation process is executed according to the input operation of the keyboard 7 (step S).
11). The cancellation process in step S11 is performed as shown in FIG.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the transaction data stored in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15 is updated by changing the print flag of the transaction data from “1” to “9” (step S12). Returns to the initial state and repeats steps S1 to S3.

The device 1, which has detected the start of the closing process in step S3, outputs and displays the total amount of the product data temporarily stored in the work area 24 of the RAM 15 (step S13), and uses this total amount to calculate the sales data. The closing process is executed by, for example, generating and storing it in the sales file 22 (step S14). In the closing process executed in step S14, as shown in FIG. 4C, the print data of “2” is added to the closing data such as the total amount and the tax and stored in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15. Therefore (step S15), the receipt 32 is issued and the journal 33 is formed by the printing process based on the data stored in the memory area 21 (step S1).
6).

This printing process will be described below in sequence with reference to the flow chart illustrated in FIG. This printing process
The data stored in the memory area 21 of the RAM 15 is sequentially read to repeatedly determine whether the print flag is "1", "9", "2" or "0" (steps T1 to T).
4) If it is detected in step T1 that the print flag is "1", this transaction data has undergone normal registration processing. Edit processing is performed (step T5). Therefore, since the initial state is restored when this step T5 is completed, by repeating the steps T1 and T5, the ordinary transaction data is edited into receipt data and journal data.

When it is detected in step T2 that the print flag is "9", this transaction data has been canceled and therefore it is not edited into receipt data. Edit processing is performed only on the journal data (step T6). At this time, in step T6, when the canceled transaction data is edited into the journal data, a halftone process preset as a print form that is easy to identify is executed. When is completed, it returns to the initial state.

When it is detected in step T3 that the print flag is "2", this stored data is the closing data, so this is edited into receipt data and journal data. Then, the initial state is restored (step T7).

If it is detected in step T4 that the print flag is "0", it means that the storage data that needs to be printed out has been completed, so that the receipt data and the journal data which have been edited are R / The J printer 2 prints out the recording paper 31 and issues a receipt 32 and forms a journal 33 (step T8).

By performing the processing as described above, the transaction data can be canceled before the closing processing as in the conventional case. The receipt 32 issued is easy to confirm the contents because the transaction data is edited according to the product classification, and the appearance is good because the canceled transaction data is deleted. In the journal 33, since the transaction data is edited according to the product classification, it is easy to confirm the content, and the canceled transaction data is shaded and printed out. The display mode can be easily identified as a different display process and the contents can be confirmed.

In this embodiment, as a printing form of the data adding means for facilitating the discrimination between the transaction data subjected to the cancellation processing and the normal transaction data, the transaction data to which the cancellation processing is added without erasing the transaction data subjected to the cancellation processing is performed. Although it has been illustrated that the shaded display processing is executed only for the data, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and for example, it is possible to delete only the transaction data that has been canceled with respect to the normal printing of the normal transaction data. Without reversing printing, displaying only the canceled transaction data by enclosing it in a line frame and displaying it, or adding parentheses, normal transaction data or canceled transaction data It is also possible to print on the right half of the recording paper 31 and the other half on the left half.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to issue a receipt in which the canceled transaction data is deleted and has a good appearance, and at the same time, the canceled transaction data is printed out in a journal in an easily distinguishable manner. As a result, the receipt issued to the customer has a good appearance, and the journal has an effect that the canceled transaction data can be easily understood and confirmed.
