FIG. 3(4) shows the memory format of the transaction-specific memory 9a of the memory 9, which consists of storage areas designated by line addresses 1 to 16, each corresponding to a transaction-specific key on the keyboard. Each of these storage areas includes a storage area To that stores the total sales data input with the key operation of the corresponding transaction-specific key, and a storage area To that stores the total sales data input in response to the key operation of the corresponding transaction-specific key, and a storage area To that stores the total sales data entered in response to the key operation of the corresponding transaction-specific key, and a A storage area P1 that stores release flag data "1'" that instructs the release of one of the drawers, and a storage area P1 that stores the release flag data "1'" that instructs the release of one drawer among the FOA IA to ID when the corresponding transaction key is operated. Memory 1jl in which the instructing release flag data “11” is stored
ttic Pz are provided respectively. In addition, N in FIG. 3) shows the format of the memory 9b for each person in charge provided in the memory 9, and the areas designated by the row addresses (m+1) to (m+6) are the person in charge keys 311 of A to F, respectively. It corresponds to A storage area T1 that stores the total sales data input by the corresponding person in charge, and a storage area CD1. CD
2 are provided respectively. In addition, the memory 9 is provided with a departmental memory for storing sales totals for each department.

Next, the operation of this invention will be explained. Now, it is assumed that the drawers 11 to 1d are used to store cash, and the drawers IA to ID are used to store business documents other than cash. ,
It is assumed that the IB is exclusively assigned to persons in charge B and F, the drawer 1c and IC are assigned to person in charge C, and the drawer 1d and ID are exclusively assigned to the person in charge.

In this case, specify the mode switch 3b to l'-PRJ mode, set the drawer numbers 1 to 8 that individually correspond to the drawers 1a to ID, and operate the key for each person in charge 311 etc. ), drawer numbers 1 to 8 are set in the storage areas CD, CD.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3 (5), open 7 lag data "1" for opening the drawer is set in the storage area P, , P, corresponding to each transaction totalizer.

After presetting as described above, specify the mode switch 3b to REGJ mode, perform the registration process for -customers, calculate the total purchase amount as subtotal data, and operate the counting key 301 to calculate the amount deposited from the customer. After inputting the transaction key, the transaction key is operated.Then, first, the storage area PI a of the transaction memory 6& corresponding to the operated transaction key is
When the contents of P2 are read out and open flag data "1" is stored in storage area P1, open flag data "1'" is written in flag area F1, and storage area P!
If the release flag data "1" is stored in the flag area F, the release flag data "1" is written in the flag area F. After this, the operation according to 7a- in FIG. 4 is executed.

That is, in step S, the contents of the X register that stores the deposit amount data entered before the transaction-specific key operation is subtracted from the subtotal data stored in the X register of the CPU 5, and this difference is 2 and □.・1:.

written to the register. Next, the process moves to step S, where it is determined whether the contents of register 2 are greater than, equal to, or less than "0", and if it is determined to be greater than "ON", the deposited amount is sold. is transferred to the print buffer PR and printed on the recording paper, the balance data in register 2 is transferred to the X register, and the number data in the X register is stored in the memory 6 &
storage area To, and storage area T of the person-in-charge memo 96b corresponding to the person-in-charge key 311 operated! A registration process A is performed in which the total is accumulated. If it is determined in step S that the contents of the second register are equal to "0", it is assumed that an amount equal to the customer's purchase amount has been paid, and the process moves to step S4. In step S4, the subtotal data of the X register is displayed and printed, and the corresponding storage areas T, , T.

Registration processing B is performed in which the total is accumulated. Said step S
, if the contents of the second register are determined to be less than "0", it is assumed that the deposited amount data is greater than the subtotal data, and the process moves to step S. In step S,
Subtract the contents of the X register from the contents of the X register *=t h
'6 flv public'f\% is displayed and printed, and the subtotal data of the X register is stored in the corresponding storage area T (1a
Registration processing C, which is accumulated at T1, is performed. Next, the process moves to step S6, and the open 7 lag data is stored in the flag area F1.
1" is written.

Here, the reason why the open flag data "11" is always written in the flag area F after the registration process C is because the amount of change due to the change calculation is generally paid in cash.

In step S or 6-step S, which moves to step SY after S6, all digits A of the drawer 7A
, ~A8 are written with "θ'". Then step S
, a determination is made as to whether or not the content of the flag area F1 is "0", and if the determination is negative, opening of one of the drawers 1a to 1d for storing cash is designated. It is determined that the current state is the same, and the process moves to step S9. In step S9, the cash-only drawer number data stored in the storage area CF2 of the responsible person memory 6b specified by the responsible person number data stored in the M register is transferred to the P register. Next, the process moves to step Szo, and drawer open designation data "1" is written into the digit A(p) of the drawer buffer A designated by the drawer number data of the P register.

In the step S8, the contents of the flag area F are “O”.
'', and it is deemed that there is no drawer opening designation for the drawers 1a to 1d storing cash, or after step 81 is executed, the process moves to step 811. In step Sll, the content of the flag area F2 is 0''. ′
If it is determined that the document is not valid, it is assumed that one of the drawers IA to ID for storing commercial documents other than cash has been designated to be opened, and the process proceeds to step sty. Move. At step sit, the memory value specified by the responsible person number data of the M register @
Drawer number data containing commercial transactions other than cash stored on a CD, for example, is transferred to the P register. Then, the process moves to step 5ill, and the digit A(p) of drawer buffer A specified by the drawer number data of the P register is
Drawer opening designation data ``1'' is written in .

In the step S□, the content of the flag area F is 0"
, or after execution of step S11, step 8
Move on to 14. In step 814, the drawer opening signal OF is output from the CPU 5 to the drawer control unit 10, and the drawer opening signal is output to the drawer corresponding to the digit in which the drawer opening designation data "1a" is stored in the drawer buffer A, and the drawer is opened. Then, the process moves to step 61, where "OJ' is written in the flag areas F, IF, and
The open footer data "1" is cleared. Next, the process moves to step S2, where the contents of the X, Y, Z, P, etc. registers of the CPU 5 are erased.

Therefore, the person in charge @A operates his own person-in-charge key 311 before starting the registration operation. Then, the key code corresponding to the key operated by the person in charge is written to the LUGISTA as the number data for the person in charge. After registering the price of the product, the customer pays half of the purchase price with a gift certificate and the rest with cash. At this time, the person in charge A operates the lighted key 306 after entering the amount corresponding to the paid gift certificate. Then, take gr'
The open flag data "1" stored in the storage area P2 corresponding to the credit flash of the a memory 6& is written to the flag area F, and after that, steps 81 to S are sequentially executed to display the input gift certificate. The sales amount is accumulated in the light-emitting device in the storage area To. Next, enter the remaining amount and enter W/
When the deposit key 30B is operated, the open flag data "1" stored in the storage area P1 corresponding to the cash sale of the transaction memory 6& is written to the flag area F1, and then steps S1°S, , S, , S, are executed sequentially. As a result, the remaining input amount is stored in storage area T. A purple meter is added to the cash light meter. After this, step S@eS
At o, a determination is made as to whether open flag data "1'" is stored in the flag area Fl @ F2,
In this case, since "19" is stored in both cases, step S.

SIo and steps S□ to S16 are executed sequentially.

That is, steps 811-81! Drawer number data “1” of the storage area CDI (goods), CD, (goods) specified by the number data of person in charge of M register A in

.

Drawer opening designation data ``I'' is placed in digits A, , A of drawer buffer A specified by each number data in .
M'' is written. Then, digit A of drawer buffer A
+ - Drawers 1a and 1s corresponding to AI are released, respectively. Therefore, the person in charge A separately stores the cash paid by the customer in the drawer 1a and the gift certificate in the drawer 1e, and - completes the transaction. Note that if the customer pays the purchase price with one type of denomination, that is, only cash or only gift certificate, only registration process B1 or registration process C is executed.

In the above embodiment, two drawers are assigned to each person in charge, one drawer holds cash such as coins and banknotes, and the other drawer holds non-cash transactions such as gift certificates and checks. Although the structure was designed so that the money could be managed separately by storing books, three or more drawers could be stored in each person in charge. It is also possible to control the release by assigning it to

In addition, in the embodiment described above, when the transaction-specific key operated when the transaction for one customer is completed, the specified door is released all at once, but in the case of split registration, for example, The designated doors may be sequentially opened for each key operation.

Further, there is no particular need to allocate a drawer to each person in charge; a plurality of drawers may be allocated to each denomination, and the release of the corresponding drawer may be controlled by operating a key for each denomination.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the dorias are classified into gold and other 4 degrees, but a plurality of dorias may be provided for each denomination or department, and the opening of the corresponding doria may be controlled at the time of a money transaction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, drawer number data for instructing door opening corresponding to a plurality of doors is stored for each category, and when registration processing is performed for each product category or transaction, Since the corresponding doria number data is read and the doria is released, it is possible to release a plurality of required dorias in a transaction. Therefore, since the drawer can be divided into transactions such as cash sales and transactions other than cash sales, the inside of the drawer can be organized and money can be managed more strictly. Furthermore, since the door containing cash will not be released if it is not needed, it can be used to prevent theft. Furthermore, unlike the conventional case in which one drawer is simply allocated to each person in charge, detailed financial management such as allocating drawers to each category of product can be performed.
