. ) It has a storage area that stores a large number of amounts and quantities, inventory quantities, ordered inventory quantities, ordered quantities, ordering destinations, and ordering flags (Flags) for each product. On the other hand, the ordered stock quantity refers to the standard stock quantity at which the product is considered to be ordered when the stock reaches the ordered stock quantity. In addition, the product name and number of orders will be treated as order information (described later).

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this example, immediately after registering a product, it is determined whether the stock quantity of the product has reached the above-mentioned ordered stock quantity, that is, whether the stock quantity has reached the quantity that should be ordered. In addition, the actual ordering process using the telephone line is done all at once when the number of products to be ordered reaches a predetermined number N, and is done after the registration process is completed to avoid inconvenience to the customer.The flowchart in Figure 3 starts executing after the terminal device is powered on. Namely, first, Stella 7'S.

Then, it is determined whether the flag in the flag register Fz is l'11' (present) or '0°° (absent). After the transaction-specific key is operated, JffJ is set to 1° if the registration process is completed. It will be judged whether or not it is north of the predetermined 73N.On the other hand,
If the flag in the flag register FZ is "0", the process proceeds to step S1, where the presence or absence of key human power is determined.

When proceeding to the above step S, if the data in the save memory 5 is equal to or greater than the predetermined number N, the ordering process via the telephone line from step 82 onwards is executed; on the other hand, if the data in the save memory 5 does not reach the predetermined number N, the above step ”Proceed to 11.

Proceeding to step SII, a process for determining whether there is key human power is executed, and if there is no key human power, the process returns to the initial state of step S. On the other hand, if there is key human power, step S
The process proceeds to step S12, where it is determined whether the operation key is a classification key, and when it is determined that the operation key is a classification key, the registration process is started, and the process advances to step S13, where the registration process is executed. The CPU 2 writes new data into the memory 3 by category and the memory 4 by classification. That is, the sales amount and number of sales are accumulated, and the number of items in stock is subtracted. Further, the registration contents are displayed on the display section 7, and furthermore, the printing section 8 prints on the receipt and the journal.

On the other hand, minute 5. If it is determined that an operation key other than 'gi' is used, processing other than registration is started, and the process proceeds to step SI9, where other processing is executed, and when that processing is completed, the process returns to step SL. .

When the registration process in step S13 above is completed, the process proceeds to step S4, where the current
A process is performed to determine whether the +'1i number has become less than or equal to the ordered stock quantity of the product. In this case, according to the address of the address register 1 of the classification memory 4, the current inventory quantity and ordered inventory quantity are respectively read out from the classification memory 4, and 1.0PU2 is cut off by 1'IJ.

If the number of Z in stock is not yet below the ordered inventory quantity, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if it is below 1'llt in stock, the process proceeds to step S, 5, where the order flag for that product is set. It is determined whether or not it has already been set to It I II. In this case as well, the contents of the order flag for that product are read out from the classification memory 4 and sent to the CPU.
2 decides. If the order flag has already been set, the process returns to step S8; on the other hand, if it has not been set, the process proceeds to step Sea. The address data in the memory 3 and the classification memory 4 are written to the address indicated by the address register j in the save memory 55. Then proceed to step StV,
Address register j is incremented by 1 and updated. Next, the process advances to step S1°, where the ordering flag for the current registered product is set to "1", and the process returns to step S1.

As described above, through each process of steps S14 to L8, immediately after the end of the registration process, the inventory quantity judgment process for the product is performed, and if the inventory quantity is less than the ordered inventory quantity, The address of the memory for each category of the product and the ordering flag are set.

Next, to explain the ordering process using the telephone line, step S
In step 2, if the address data in the address register j of the save memory 5 is greater than the predetermined value iN, the ordering process from step 83 onwards is executed. That is, first,
In step S, the address in the save memory 5 indicated by address register j is transferred to address register i,
Next, in step S, the ordering information consisting of the product name, the number of orders, and the back order destination are read.

Next, the supplier is stored (step S5), and if there is a response, transmission of order information is started (step Sa).
. in this case,! The fli product name, order quantity, and date and time data read from the clock circuit 9 are sent together as one block of data.

Further, in the printing section 8, the ordering party, order information (namely, product name and order quantity), [-I name, and time] are printed (step 87). Next, address register j is set to -1 (step S). Then, in step S, it is determined whether the data in the address register j has become "0", there is a blockage, and whether all orders for the products have been completed. 83 to Sl] are returned in green. When all orders are placed, the data in address register j becomes "0", so step S
The process proceeds to step 810, where the address register j is set to "1" by H-1 to bring it into the initial state, and then the process proceeds to step 811.

Steps 82 to S above. Depending on the processing, the predetermined number N
The ordering process ends when the above ordered products are collected. When the product is received from the wholesaler, 1
Clear the i(<3 item order 7 lag and enter the inventory quantity data.

In the above embodiment, the order transmission process was performed after the registration process of -In,'i customer was completed, but it may also be performed at the time of inspection or payment. Further, instead of when the number of items in stock reaches the number of items in stock to be ordered, processing may be performed in which a product is deemed to be ordered when the sales amount or number of items reaches a specific value or number. Furthermore, the ordering time may be determined based on other data rather than the data for each component force 1. Furthermore, the transmission method may be inline or online.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides means for storing sales data by type, means for storing destination data corresponding to the type of sales data, and means for detecting whether or not sales data has reached a predetermined value. Since we have provided a data transmission method consisting of a means of transmitting data to the destination specified by the 7'rii destination data when the value is reached, there is no need for human labor for ordering products and receiving orders. , automatically accurate,
It has the advantage of being quick.
