Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to electronic cash registers, and in particular:
The present invention relates to an electronic cash register that is capable of tallying the amount and/or number of items for each transaction type, such as returns, discounts, and price increases, for each product category.

Description of the Prior Art A conventionally known electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR) allows an operator to sequentially input the amount and/or number of items (hereinafter referred to as amount data) of products purchased by a customer, and then register the amount of money for all products. When the input of the class data is completed, the input amount data is registered by performing a closing operation.

Then, when the total amount of the amount data regarding the registered products is calculated and displayed, the customer pays cash and processes the transaction using cash. After the store closes, aggregate data of the amount data registered on that day will be displayed, allowing you to know the total sales amount, total number of items sold, etc. for that day.

By the way, the data registered as described above has conventionally been collected in two ways. One of them is the aggregation of products by department.According to this, the amount data for each product is registered in the aggregation area of the department to which the product belongs, and when aggregation is performed after the store is closed, the total sales amount data for each department is 81. A collection of 31 can be made. Here, the registration of amount data includes not only normal sales but also special transaction functions such as returns, discounts, and price increases. Therefore, the total sales amount data by department obtained at the time of reunion is It goes without saying that this is the net sales amount after the discounts and other factors mentioned above have been processed.

Another aspect of aggregation is aggregation by transaction function. This is to aggregate the amount data for each purchased product by transaction function such as returns, discounts, and price increases, regardless of the product category. This makes it possible to know the total number of returned items for the day at the time of tabulation. And traditional EC
In R, most of the above two types of aggregation were performed simultaneously.

However, with the conventional ECR as described above, it is not possible to obtain amount data showing details of returns, discounts, price increases, etc. for each product department when aggregating. The disadvantage was that it was not possible to know the movement of products.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is capable of aggregating amount data by transaction function for each product category.

Structure and Effects of the Invention To summarize the invention, in an ECR equipped with an amount data aggregation area for each product category, the amount data is further aggregated for each product category by transaction function such as returns, discounts, and price increases. A plurality of functional aggregation areas and an amount data input means for registering product price data in the corresponding east area of these departmental and functional aggregation areas are provided. This system is configured to allow summation of monetary data by function.

Therefore, according to this invention, in the ECR amount data collection 4, it is possible to aggregate amount data by function for each product department, so that returns, discounts, and price increases can be made for each product department on the same day. 1q of information by trading function such as
Detailed data on product movements, such as which products have the most returns, can be easily obtained.
