Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an electronic cash registration processing device, in particular, a hard total for each cashier transferred from a slave PO8 every time a cashier is replaced, and status identification indicating the working status of the cashier. This relates to an electronic cash registration processing device that outputs the current cashier-specific work status table and cashier-specific sales table from the code on the mask PO3 side.

(Background of the Invention and Problems) Conventionally, in a PO8 using an electronic register, drawers 53-1 to 53-N are fixed in correspondence with each slave PO352-1 to 52-N, as shown in FIG. The drawer 53 is placed from the start to the end of the day's work.
-1 to 53-N were used to perform customer transactions without moving them to other slave PO8s. and 1
At the end of the day's work, each drawer 53-1 to 53
- The denomination is registered for each N, and each slave PO8 receives a so-called cash balance report that compares the cash balance with the total cash balance compiled by the corresponding slave PO8.
I went there every time. Note that 51 is a master PO8 that manages each slave PO8.

On the other hand, the cashier who takes in and out cash does not handle customer transactions all day long at a fixed slave PO8, but the cashier's effectiveness may be improved by moving the cashier around the floor or within the store, taking into consideration the degree of congestion during business hours. Appropriate placement is being carried out. Therefore, in each slave PO3, it is normal for a plurality of cashiers to conduct customer transactions. Under these conditions, when reporting the balance at the end of the day, if there is a discrepancy between the final delivered amount in the drawer and the aggregated balance, then the operation that causes this discrepancy will occur. There was a drawback that it was not immediately possible to determine which cashier was in charge of the transaction. Therefore, it took time to check the journal paper and produce the verification results, and all the cashiers who operated on the slave PO3 were unable to clear their suspicions.
There were drawbacks that could hinder cashiers' motivation to work.

In addition, the current working status of each cashier cannot be grasped,
This system had the drawback that it was unclear whether or not the cashier had completed the payment after completing his or her duties for the day, making work management inconvenient.

(Object and structure of the invention) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks,
A personal drawer is assigned to each cashier, and the cashier transfers the personal drawer to the slave P.
Submit an electronic cash registration processing device that will allow cashier-specific payments to be made at any time even when moving between O3s, as well as provide a cashier-specific work status table and cashier-specific summary table showing the current working status of each cashier. It is intended to. Therefore, the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention includes a plurality of cash registration devices in which sales registration operations are performed, and a device that manages these cash registration devices.

Cashier B pulls out its own drawer from slave PO3 of #Rugi 30-1. Cashier B, who has completed his own duties, takes his own drawer and moves to the master PO 31, registers the denomination, and outputs a cashier-specific settlement report for the duties he was responsible for. And leave the company. When this denomination registration is performed, the status identification code indicating cashier settlement for cashier B is automatically input to master PO 31.

It should be noted that the change of cash registers is carried out for the other cashiers C and D in exactly the same manner.

Cashiers who have finished their duties for the day will wear a mask P.
Go to O31 and register the denomination, that is, settle the final delivery amount in your drawer. This denomination registration is performed, for example, by the operation sequence shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the cashier inputs the transaction type 31 and the unique cashier number 32 assigned to him/her.
Enter. Next, the denomination type 3 that exists in your drawer
Perform step 3 registration. The denominations are broadly classified into cash, gift certificates issued in fixed units, such as gift certificates, checks with insufficient amounts, and credit cards.

In the case of cash, enter the number of the precented coupon type and its number manually using the numeric keypad, register the coupon type and its quantity, and calculate and register the amount 34 corresponding to each coupon type. do. For gift certificates with a fixed amount of 1 + i5, enter the preset number on the gift certificate side and the number using the numeric keys, register the name of the gift certificate and its quantity, and Calculate and register the amount 35. For checks of unspecified amounts, credit cards, etc., enter the preset check, credit, etc. number, number, and amount using the numeric keys, and register the name and number of checks, credits, etc. , the total amount 36 is calculated and registered. The subtotal or grand total is calculated and registered by using the subtotal 37 key for the total of cash, gift certificates, checks, etc., and by using the total 38 key for the total total.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a cashier-specific settlement report output by the master PO3 in which an example of denomination registration is shown. °
In the figure, No. 02 in the upper column represents the person whose cashier number is 2, numbers 1 to 9 on the left end are the denomination registrations for cash, and number 10 is for the number of checks, which is 8 and the total number is 2. This indicates that the amount is [89,0OOJ yen. And the subtotal of cash and check is r8.08,300.
J yen, which means that the person whose cashier number is 02 has this amount of cash and checks in his or her drawer. Numbers 11 to 25 on the left side indicate sales by gift certificates or credits, and the subtotal is r211,700. When you press the 38 keys in total explained in Figure 3, the final delivery type rl, 0
20,000' yen is calculated and registered. This final delivery item is the balance that existed in the drawer of the person with cashier number 02. For example, if the person with cashier number 02 is cashier A shown in Figure 2, #30-1, #
This is the balance that existed in the drawer of the person who made the customer transaction at #2 cash register 30-2 and #3 cash register 30-3.

Next, the method of data aggregation processing of the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention will be explained using FIG.

In the slave PO 317, transactions with customers are performed via the transaction input means 27, and are always based on hard totals for each cashier, such as sales descendants, transaction amount, deposit amount, withdrawal amount, number of customers, time (working hours), etc. Each item is accumulated through the cashier-specific heart total calculating means 23 and stored in the storage area 24-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hard total totaling memory 24. Here, the deposit amount is the amount prepared for change and the like and deposited into the drawer, and the withdrawal amount is the amount collected from the drawer during the course of business.

When the cashier change time comes, the cashier change is performed, and the cashier change input means 25 performs the cashier change operation. As a result of this cashier replacement operation, the cashier's hardware information stored in the storage area 24-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 24
The total and the cumulatively tallied hard total before the cashier stored in the other storage area 24-2 of the hard total tally memory 24 for each cashier are stored in C.
The PU 18 adds up the data for each item, and the newly added cumulative data is stored in another storage area 24-2 of the hard total 24 for each cashier.

Also, when a cashier replacement operation is performed, the storage area 24 for one person in the hardware total total memory 24 for each cashier is
-1 is converted into a format and code suitable for transmission by the aggregated data telegram editing means 22, and furthermore, the assigned number of the slave PO 317, the cashier numbers of both the old and new cashiers to be replaced, and the numbers of the new and old cashiers. A status identification code is added, and the transmitting means 19
It is sent in the form of a message to the mask post via .

For example, "01" is the status identification code of the cashier.
” is the opening, “02” is the registration due to cashier change, “0
3, cashier payment etc. are used. When the old cashier's hardware total has been sent to the master 1, the cashier-specific hardware total clearing means operates, and the storage area 24-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 24 is cleared to zero. Clear and arrange the reception for the new cashier. At the same time, the time measuring means 28 newly starts measuring the new cashier's working hours. The new cashier conducts transactions with customers via transaction input means 27.

On the other hand, the message sent from the slave PO317 due to the cashier change is sent to the receiving means 4 of the master POST.
The received message is accepted and converted into data in a computable format by the received message reverse editing/storage means 9, and the data of the hard total, old and new cashier numbers, and their status identification codes are stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory. 5, each is stored once. Since the cashier number of the current hard total, that is, the old cashier number, is simultaneously sent to the mask PO31 in the data of the bird total, the CPU
Step 2 reads out from the total data secondary storage memory 11 the data of each item of the hard total that has been cumulatively totaled up to that point for the mouth-gyasosha in question. Then, the CPU 2 reads out the hard total data stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory 5, and calculates and aggregates both data for each corresponding item. This aggregated data is stored in the aggregated data secondary storage memo 1゜1 via the aggregated data saving means 10.
1 predetermined address. At the same time, the data of the upper front identification code is read by the CPU 2, and a judgment is made regarding the data of the new cashier among the codes 6B and 1. A flag of the vJ stone status for the cashier is set, and it is set on the predetermined address of the secondary storage memory (IJll) of the aggregated data.Then, the aggregated data primary storage memory clearing means/inspection request letter editing means 6 sets the aggregated data. The contents of the primary storage memory 5 are cleared to zero, and preparations are made for the next reception.

In addition, all cashier numbers are preset registered in the master PO31, and the slave PO31 described above
Based on the status identification code sent from 7, the working status of the cashier, ie, the opening of the office, registration due to cashier replacement, cashier's balance, etc. are recorded.

] The process described above is repeated each time the cashier is replaced in each slave PO 317 and the cashier replacement operation is performed. Therefore, the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 stores cumulatively aggregated hard total data and data indicating the work status of the cashiers who move between the slave POs 317. FIG. 5 shows an example of the storage structure of the aggregated data for each cashier stored in the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11. In FIG. 5, C1 status stores data on the cashier's current working status. An example of the bit configuration of the status indicating the cashier's working status is shown in FIG. The flag indicating that the cashier has been registered for the current day is set in bit bO of FIG. By referring to the flags set in these bits, the working status of the cashier can be determined.

In FIG. 5, the data storage area for d, sales, surplus and deficit is as follows: V-4t! It is used when registering denominations for IR, that is, when making payments by cashier.

After the day's work is completed, cashier A, for example, performs the cashier change operation at time T4, and then goes to the PO51 installation location to perform cashier-specific payment, and from there registers the denomination as explained in Figure 3. I do. Register the denomination and press the 38 keys in total to calculate the total denomination registration.
The surplus/deficiency calculation means 12 calculates the final delivery type data and the #2 cashier 30-1 and #2 cashier 30- for the cashier A that has already been cumulatively totaled in the totaled data secondary storage memory 11.
Of the hard totals at 2 and #3 registers 30-3,
The data on sales, deposits, and withdrawals are read out to the CPU 2, and the cash register total = sales + deposits - withdrawals are calculated, and the excess/deficiency amount - final delivery amount - total cash register total is calculated. be done. These cash register totals, surplus/deficiency amounts, final delivery type data, and status identification code data of "Cashier payment completed for the day" indicating the cashier's working status are stored in the secondary storage memory for the total data via the total data saving means 10. 11 predetermined addresses. The above cash register total, excess or deficiency amount,
Final delivery data and total data secondary storage memory 1
Cumulatively aggregated hardware for each item stored in 1.
Each total tally data is read out, and the tally data printing/editing/output means 7 displays each item from the cash register total to the time in the bottom column of the cashier-specific settlement report shown in Figure 7, as well as its quantity, number of items, and each amount. Output. This allows Cashier A to immediately know the amount of excess or deficiency in the work he is responsible for. Note that the columns up to the final delivery type of the cashier-specific settlement report shown in FIG. 7 are output at the same time as the denomination registration.

Similarly, when other cashiers finish their duties, they take their own drawers to the location where the master PO3I is installed and report their cash balances.
1 stores accumulated hard total data for the cashier concerned, and PO3I calculates the difference based on this data and the final delivery items, and outputs the cashier-specific settlement report shown in FIG. At this time, the status identification code indicating the working status of the cashier is "
A flag is set for ``Cashier Settlement Method for the Day'', and a value on a predetermined address of the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 is placed on that flag.

Furthermore, when you want to know the working status of all cashiers, if you issue a request to output all cashiers' working statuses from mask pos i, the CPU 2 accesses the aggregated data secondary storage memory L1 via the working status table output designating means 13. The cashier-by-cashier work status report shown in FIG. 8 is outputted via the vJ work status table editing/output means 15. In FIG. 8, the undispatched person is a person whose cashier number has been preset but is not "registered as today's cashier", that is, slave PO31? This is a person who did not perform a customer transaction at that time, and the status identification code at that time is, for example, "00". A person who is on duty is a person whose cashier number has been preset and who is [registered as today's cashier] but who has not performed the "cashier payment method", that is, a slave P.
This is a person who has made a customer transaction with O317 but has not yet made payment by cashier, and the status identification code at that time is, for example, "01" or "02". Completion of payment means that the cashier number has been recently registered, and the person with "Today's cashier registration" is "Today's cashier payment method J", and the status identification code at that time is, for example, "03".
' is used. The status identification code indicating these working conditions is displayed using 51 or more bits shown in FIG.

The cashier-by-cashier work status report shown in FIG. 8 allows the cashier to know at a glance who has not paid the bill and who is on duty.

Then, when you want to know the cashier-specific settlements of all cashiers, you issue a request to output all cashier-specific settlements from the mask PO31, and the CPU 2 accesses the total data secondary storage memory 11 via the all-cashier-specific settlement sheet output designating means 14, and 9th through cashier-specific settlement sheet editing/output means
A settlement report for all cashiers as shown in the figure is output.

The closing operation is performed after confirming that all the cashiers who have been registered as cashiers for today have completed their cashier-specific payment using the cashier-specific work status report shown in FIG. As a result, after all cashier-specific settlement reports shown in FIG. 9 are output, the contents of the total data secondary storage memory 11 are cleared to zero. Thereafter, the entire electronic cash registration processing device is powered off.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, even if a cashier moves between slaves 208 with his own drawer, the difference for each cashier can be calculated immediately without waiting for the daily total. Eliminates unnecessary anxiety for cashiers. The work status of each cashier can be viewed on the mask PO8 side, making work management easier.
