Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product registration device in a point of sale (hereinafter abbreviated as POS) system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A POS system determines, for each product to be sold, a department code to indicate whether it is men's wear or women's wear, a product code to indicate even the fi [fi] of a necktie, a PLtx code, such as a necktie, etc. A series of data regarding the product name, which is a general name such as a dress shirt, the unit price of the product, etc., is stored in the product data storage means.

When product data such as the product code and unit price of a sold product is input using an input means such as a keyboard,
Reads a series of data related to the product from the product data storage device based on the input product data, calculates the total price of the sold products based on the series of data, issues a receipt, and displays the total price, and Product registration is performed by printing out a series of data and total price or storing it on a disk. This registered data will be used later for sales aggregation, inventory management, etc.

By the way, as a form of product sales, for example, 3 items for 10
There are combination sales (hereinafter referred to as bundle sales) such as 0 yen, but the POS system must be able to register information about products targeted for such bundle sales.

Prior Art and Problems In the conventional PoS system, the product data storage device only stores data such as the one shown in Figure 1 regarding the department code, product code, PLu code (price look map code), product name, and unit price. I didn't remember.

For this reason, in a bundle sale where the unit price is ignored and the product is discounted, when registering the product for the bundle sale, the slash key KBs in the department key group KB on the keyboard KB shown in Figure 2 must be used to identify the product to be registered. It was used to show how many pieces it consists of. Then, in the case of a product that costs 100 yen for 3 pieces as in the example above, enter the price 100 using the numeric key group Kt, then operate the slash key Ks, enter the number 3 using the numeric key group Kt, and then By operating the registration key Kn, a product with a quantity of 3 and a price of 100 is registered.

With this conventional registration method for products eligible for bundle sale, if the products eligible for bundle sale are bundled into one bundle for each bundle unit price, the product can be registered without any problem. If the product is brought in together with other products, the troublesome product sorting process to confirm the number of products eligible for bundle sale is required before registering the product. is required.

In particular, when a customer wishes to purchase the product in the form of a bundle plus, for example, one item, how many items are there in the end, how many at the bundle sale price, and how many at the regular price? This was extremely difficult to deal with because the operator had to decide whether to register based on price before starting the registration operation.

Also, if you try to sell a bundle of multiple products with the same unit price but different product codes in any combination, only one product name can be registered, so you can later check the sales products based on the registered data. It was impossible to manage sales and inventory.

Furthermore, even if there is a request to return some of the products that have been registered as products for a bundle sale, it is extremely difficult to handle this request.

Purpose of the Invention The main purpose of the present invention is to easily perform product registration operations when registering products eligible for a bundle sale without having to distinguish between the product and other products or confirming the number of products. To provide a product registration device capable of properly registering products at the time of a bundle sale in which products having the same unit price but different product codes are arbitrarily combined.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a product registration device that can deal with returns of any of the registered bundle sale products.

Structure of the Invention The basic structure of a product registration device that has been made to achieve the above-mentioned main object of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

The device of the present invention includes an input means 1 for inputting at least data regarding a product code for a product to be registered at the time of product registration, data regarding at least a product code and unit price for each product, and further for establishing a bundle sale for products eligible for a bundle sale. a product data storage means 2 that stores in advance data regarding the number of products to be sold, the discount amount at the time of a bundle sale, and the type of bundle, and data regarding the registered number of bundle sale target products of the same type as the type of bundle sale. The storage device is provided with a registration sub-storage means 3 capable of clearing the stored data at any time.

The apparatus also includes a readout means 4 for reading out a series of data regarding a corresponding product from the product data storage means 2 based on the data inputted by the input means 1, and a readout means 4 for reading out a series of data regarding the corresponding product from the product data storage means 2 based on the data input by the readout means;
A determining means 5 is provided for determining whether the product to be registered is a product eligible for bundle sale.

Furthermore, when the product to be registered is a bundle sale target product as a result of the determination by the determination means 5, the apparatus further determines whether data regarding the same type of bundle sale target product is already stored in the registration sub-storage means 3. As a result of this search, write the type of bundle sale and the number of products to be registered in column 3 for products eligible for bundle sale of the same type, and as a result of the above search, search for bundle sale of the same type. It has a writing means 6 for rewriting the data in the registration sub-storage means 3 so as to increment the number of bundle sale target products when data regarding the target products are stored.

Furthermore, based on the series of data read out by the reading means 4, the total price of the products to be registered is calculated, and the value of the bundle sale is calculated based on the series of data and the data in the registration sub-storage means 3. A calculation means 7 that calculates the discount amount and subtracts the discount amount from the total price to obtain the sales amount, and registration that registers any one of the series of data and the sales amount calculated by the calculation means 7. Means 8
and is provided.

The device according to the invention also achieves other objectives:
Furthermore, it is configured as follows.

First, the input means 1 can input data about the product to be returned, and the reading means 4 can input a series of data about the corresponding product to the product data storage means based on the data about the product to be returned. Read from 2. Then, the determining means 5 determines whether the product to be returned is a bundle sale target product based on the series of data read out regarding the product to be returned.

As a result of the judgment by the judgment means 5, if the product to be returned is a product eligible for bundle sale, the writing means 6
rewrites the data in the registration sub-storage means 3. Then, the calculation means 7 calculates the total price of the product to be returned based on the series of data regarding the product to be returned and the rewritten data in the registered sub-storage means 3.

The registration means 8 registers any one of the series of data regarding the product to be returned and the total price of the product to be returned.

Embodiment of the Invention FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a POS system to which the product registration device according to the invention is applied.

In the figure, reference numeral 9 and 10 indicate a central processor unit (hereinafter abbreviated as CPU), which is interconnected with various devices via a bus B. The bus B includes memory control units 11 and 12.
and 13, the main memory 14, registration submemory 15, and product data memory 16 are connected to the display device 18 via the display control unit 17, and the keyboard (hereinafter KB) via interfaces (hereinafter referred to as 1/F) 19 and 20. ) 21 and a printer 22 are respectively connected.

The CPU 10 responds to command signals input from the KB 21 and performs a series of tasks described below based on programs stored in the ROM of the main memory 14.

The product data memory 16 indicates the department code, product code, PL, u code, product name, unit price, bundle unit representing the number of items for which a handle sale is to be established, discount amount when a bundle sale is established, and type of bundle sale. A series of data related to bundle numbers as shown in FIG. 5 is stored.

On the other hand, the registration sub-memory 15 is capable of storing data as shown in FIG. 6 regarding the bundle numbers and numbers of bundle sale target products to be registered.

The KB 21 functions as an input means, and is capable of inputting data such as a product code for a product to be registered, as well as inputting a signal instructing the end of the registration operation or initialization of the system.

The display bag W1B not only displays the product unit price during the registration operation process, but also displays the total price of the sold products at the end of the registration operation.

The printer 22 not only issues receipts for the sold products, but also prints out a series of data to be registered regarding the sold products.

In the above configuration, when data about a sold product, for example, a product code, is input from KB21, the CPU
0 reads out a series of data regarding the corresponding product from the product data memory 1G via the memory control unit 13 based on this product code, and stores the read series of data into the RAM of the main memory 14 via the memory control unit 11. The product is temporarily stored, the unit price of the product is displayed on the display device 18, and the printer 22 is outputted from a series of data to register the product.

CPU10 further performs registration processing for the read series of data according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the read series of data relates to a bundle sale target product based on the presence or absence of a bundle number. If the result of the determination is that the product is not eligible for bundle sale, the registration work for that product is ended here. On the other hand, if the above determination result is that the product is eligible for bundle sale, the process moves to the next step S2, where the registered secondary memory 15 is searched, and in step S3, data about the products with the same bundle number are stored in the registered secondary memory 15. Check to see if there is one.

If the same bundle number does not exist, the bundle number and the number of the bundle sale target product are stored in the registration sub-memory 15, and the registration work for the product is completed.

If the registration sub-memory 15 has data regarding bundle sale target products of the same bundle number, in step S4, 1 is added to the number column, and then the process moves to step S5. In step s5, it is determined whether the number of items with the same number in the registration sub-memory 15 is a multiple of the bundle unit, and if it is not a multiple, the registration work for the product is ended there. On the other hand, if it is a multiple, it is assumed that a bundle sale has been completed, and in the next step s6, the discount amount due to the bundle sale is subtracted from the total price of the sold products.

When the registration of a plurality of sales items is completed, the printer 22 prints out the sales amount obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the total price of the sales items, and all necessary registration work is completed.

As is clear from the above explanation, the product data memory 16
stores the bundle unit, discount amount, and bundle number for products eligible for bundle sale, and the registration sub-memory 15 also stores the bundle number and the number of products with the same bundle number that have already been registered during the registration process. 1, so even if you register items for a bundle sale one after another without separating them from other products, the device will automatically separate them and determine whether or not a bundle sale will be successful. , the sales amount can be automatically corrected when a bundle sale is completed, so if the products eligible for a bundle sale are not bundled into bundles or the number of sales of products eligible for a bundle sale does not match the bundle unit. However, the operator can perform the registration operation without any trouble.

Further, even when a bundle sale is performed by combining different products, each product is registered individually, so there is no problem with later product inventory management.

Next, when data about the returned product, such as a return code and a product code, are input from the KB 21, the CPU 10 reads a series of data related to the corresponding product from the product data memory 16 based on this product code, and registers the product. Similarly, the series of data is stored in R of the main memory 14.
The unit price is temporarily stored in the AM, the unit price is displayed on the display device 18, and the printer 22 prints out any one of the series of data to register the returned product.

CPU10 further performs return processing for the read series of data according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step 11, it is determined whether or not the read series of data relates to a bundle sale target product based on the presence or absence of a bundle number. If the result of the determination is that the product is not eligible for bundle sale, the return processing work for the product ends here.

On the other hand, if the above judgment result is that the product is subject to a bundle sale, the process moves to the next step 31.2 and searches the registration sub-memory 15 (the registration sub-memory 15 is cleared before the next customer's sales product is registered). Therefore, the return operation must be performed before this clearing occurs.) Then, in the next step 313, it is checked eight times whether there is data about the products of the same bundle number in the registered sub-memory 15 (resultant). If there is no identical bundle number, an error message will be displayed indicating that the return operation was incorrect. If there are identical bundle numbers, then in the next step 314 it is determined whether the number of products in that bundle number is a multiple of the bundle unit.

As a result of this determination, if it is a multiple of the bundle unit,
The process moves to step 315, where the discount amount is added to the total price of the returned goods, and in the next step 316, the number of bundle numbers is decremented by 1, and the returned goods processing is ended. On the other hand, if the number is not a multiple of the bundle unit, step S14
”Proceed directly to S16, where the number of bundle numbers is -
Just step 1 to complete the return process.

As mentioned above, even in the case of a return operation, the product data memory 1
This can be easily done by using the data regarding the bundle sale target products in No. 6 and the data in the registered sub-memory 15.

Effects of the Invention It is possible to easily respond to various sales forms of products eligible for bundle sale without any troublesome operations, and it is also possible to perform return processing for products eligible for bundle sale.
