Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic main 11 controller (hereinafter referred to as rEc).
This invention relates to an improvement of the Ei CR, which is specially equipped with a plurality of department keys, and is capable of registering products by department.

If an ECR that can register departments is used by tenants 1 to (specialty stores) such as supermarkets and department stores, the number of department keys assigned to each tenant will be
CR&M is often limited to some of the department keys provided. This is because supermarkets and department stores as a whole often process department keys online. For example, if we take a boutique store as an example, only one department key for the clothing department is assigned among the department keys, and other department keys are assigned to departments that are unrelated to the boutique, such as the fresh food department. In some cases, the key is the key of the department, or the department key of the furniture. That is, although there are many department keys that can be used with ECR, only some of them can be used for 5 yen, so there is an inconvenience that the department keys cannot be fully utilized.

Therefore, in the past, in order to register product departments in detail for each tenant and to obtain detailed sales reports for each registered product for each tenant, so-called product management keys (Pl-U keys) have been used. In other words, as shown in Figure 6 <11), enter the amount of the product, press the amount key, and then press P.
By entering the L (J code and pressing the PLLI key, the product amount was registered in the area specified by the PLU code.

However, such conventional registration using the P and U keys has the disadvantage that there are many keys to operate, the registration operation is cumbersome, and registration errors are likely to occur.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of this invention is 'W! Of the number of department keys, the remaining department keys other than the part keys actually used in [3] are set to PL (Pricera 1~ so that other departments or products are not represented in the J code), and the department keys are enabled. The goal is to provide ECR that can be used for various purposes.

Bottom of the Invention To put it simply, the present invention includes a first storage means in which a predetermined product code is set in advance in correspondence with a department key, and a first storage means in which a predetermined product code is set in advance in correspondence with a department key; When the amount of the product is input and the department key is operated, the product code set in the first storage device is read out and the product code is stored in the corresponding second storage device. The ECR includes a control means for storing an amount.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, the remaining department keys other than the department keys that are normally used can be used as keys to represent other product departments or products, so that only a limited number of departments can be used. Keys can be used effectively.

Furthermore, since the department key can be used as an arbitrary product key, registered products can be classified by product, efficient product sales reports can be created for each store, and product management can be made more efficient.

Further, at the time of registration, key operations for registration are reduced, and registration can be performed quickly and without compromise.

The above-described configuration and effects of the present invention as well as other features will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Therefore, as shown in (a), enter the amount, for example, II OOJ, using the numeric keypad 22, and then press the department key, for example, "DPIJ." At this time, the receipt printed from the printer 4 will have the The following content is printed (1)) is the key sequence for registration by conventional ECR.In this way, conventionally, the amount, amount key, PLU setting code, PLU key and electronic miscellaneous information are “・I had to make a movie.

On the other hand, in this actual tJ emergency case, as shown in (C), the user only has to input the amount and operate the department keys listed as ``Brisera 1'' as the product cost accounting key, such as DP29. In this way, key operations are much easier than conventional ones.

FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating operations in the setting mode and registration mode of this embodiment.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference mainly to FIG.

1 year old when there was key power from keyboard 2, CPU 5
determines whether the input key is a numeric key, and if it is a numeric key, performs a predetermined same number process.

This numeric processing is processing such as storing the inputted same number data in the numeric register 75 (FIG. 11) and setting the numeric flag 76.

Next, the CP IJ 5 determines whether the ECR 1 is in the setting mode (this mode is determined by the mode switching key 21) and selects 1? Even when in fixed mode, department key 20
0 is operated by T'l. When any of the department keys 200 is operated, as shown in FIG. It is stored in the PLU fJ constant code area corresponding to the department number. Then, the In flag 76 is cleared and the process returns to the initial state.

In this way, the area 71 which is the first storage means and the fourth
