Store each data of sales quantity. Address No.
Data of the total area of the area (A-1) (where A = 1
Is [0] in the case of. ) Is added to the sales amount of the registered product to calculate the total amount up to the current stage. When the total amount is stored in the total amount area of the area of the address NoA, the current product registration process ends.

The CPU 2 of the POS terminal 3
1 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 in response to the input of the closing key K1 of the keyboard 29. That is, first, in ST11, it is determined whether or not the registering flag is set in the flag memory 43. And, if it is not set, it is an erroneous operation that registration is declared without registering the customer purchase product,
This process is regarded as an error.

If the registering flag has been set in ST11, it is declared that the registration of the merchandise purchased by one customer has been completed. Therefore, in ST12, the closing process of merchandise sales registration is executed based on the contents of the detail buffer 41. . Specifically, the total amount data is read from the area of the detail buffer 41 corresponding to the count value A of the buffer counter 42. If the payment method is cash, for example, the change amount is calculated by subtracting the total amount from the deposit amount, and the change amount is displayed on the display 30.

Next, in ST13, it is determined whether or not the household flag is set in the flag memory 45. If it is not set, since the household processing declaration has not been made, each data in the detail buffer 41 is converted into print data in ST14 and sent to the printer 31.
Print and issue a receipt. On the other hand, if the household budget flag is set, receipt issuance is prohibited (receipt issuance control means). Then, as ST15, the household budget table 6 is created based on the data in the detail buffer 41 and the data in the customer ID memory 46, and the data of the household budget table 6 is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the communication interface 25. Then, the household budget flag is reset from the flag memory 45. After a while, ST
When the drive signal is transmitted to the drawer 27 to automatically open the register 16, the registration closing flag is set in the flag memory 44 and the registering flag is reset from the flag memory 43, the closing key processing ends.

The CPU 2 of the POS terminal 3
1 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 in response to the input of the household key K2 of the keyboard 29. That is, first, in ST21, it is determined whether or not the registration flag is set in the flag memory 43. If it is set, a household processing declaration was made during the registration of the customer-purchased merchandise.

When the D card 8 is mounted and the customer ID code stored on the RAM chip 8M of the ID card 8 is acquired, an inquiry message of the household table 6 including the customer ID code is created in ST32, and the communication interface 1
4 to the store computer 1 to search the data file 7. As a result, if an error response indicating that the corresponding household table 6 does not exist in the data file 7 is received, an error message is displayed on the display 17 and the current process ends.

On the other hand, when a normal response including the data of the corresponding household table 6 is received from the store computer 1, a software selection screen listing the types of various household account book software commercially available is displayed as ST34. It is displayed on the display 34 (software selection means). Here, if any one type of household account book software is selected by the input of the keyboard 16 as ST35, the purchased commodity specification data in the household account table 6 received from the store computer 1 is converted to the selected type of household account software in ST36. Convert to a format that can be processed by household account book software (format conversion means).

Next, in ST37, it is determined whether a floppy disk is mounted on the FDD 15. If not mounted, it waits until it is mounted. ST
If it is confirmed at step 37 that the floppy disk has been mounted on the FDD 15, the purchased merchandise itemized data converted into the format at step ST38 is written on the floppy disk. Make it fetchable (control means).

Thereafter, if the corresponding delete command of the household table 6 is transmitted to the store computer 1 in ST39, the current processing is terminated. The store computer 1 that has received the erase command clears the corresponding household table 6 from the data file 7.

The clerk in charge of accounting should request a receipt when a shopper requests to record the data of the purchased product on his floppy disk in order to create a household account using household accounting software. Ask no.

If the clerk receives an offer that the receipt is unnecessary, the clerk registers the purchase product of the customer in the POS terminal 3 or in the middle of the registration. The card data (store code, customer ID code) is read by the card reader 32. After that, the user presses the closing key K1 to declare the registration closing of the purchased product of this customer.

Then, the household budget table 6 is created in the data format shown in FIG. 10, for example. Here, the data items [customer ID] and [store code] are card data of the ID card 8 read by the card reader 32.
“Purchase date” is the current date measured by the clock unit 24. [Product code], [Product name], [Amount], [Quantity], and [Total amount] are detailed data of all the purchased products of the customer stored in the detailed buffer 41. Then, the data of the household table 6 is transmitted to the store computer 1 through the first communication line 2,
It is stored in the data file 7. At this time, the receipt is not issued, and the clerk uses the ID attached to the card reader 32.
The card 8 is handed over to the shopper and the transaction with this shopper is completed.

When a shopper receives a request from the shopper that a receipt is required, the store clerk registers the shopper's purchase product in the POS terminal 3 and presses the closing key K1 to purchase the shopper's purchase product. After declaring the registration closing, one ID
Card data of the card 8 (store code, customer ID code)
Is read by the card reader 32. By doing so, the same household table 6 as described above is created, transmitted to the store computer 1, and stored in the data file 7. At this time, a receipt is issued, and the clerk hands the ID card 8 attached to the card reader 32 together with the receipt to the shopper, and ends the transaction with the shopper.
