Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention provides a point-of-sale information management system (hereinafter referred to as a POS system) with an added inventory processing function. A means for registering inventory products and a means for sending registered inventory data to a host device are provided, and inventory products are registered at each POS terminal,
The feature is that the host device collects the information and performs inventory processing.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a POS system equipped with an inventory processing function.

POS systems that collect registered transaction data at the point of sale and perform sales management by tabulating sales and the like are well known.

The PO3 terminals used in this POS system have the function of registering transaction products, aggregating the transaction data, and transmitting it to a host device, and are distributed and installed at each sales floor.

On the other hand, in retail stores, etc., an inventory is taken of the products displayed on the product shelves of each department, but traditionally, the total amount for each department (product type), etc. is entered in an inventory survey sheet as an inventory for settlement of accounts. Inventory management for each item,
There was a problem in that inventory for purposes such as purchasing planning required manpower and cost.

For this reason, it is desired that the POS system described above be able to perform inventory processing.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the PoS system.

This POS system includes a plurality of PO3 terminals 1 and 2, and a PLU table 5 in which unit prices are entered corresponding to individual item codes.
(See price) This device is composed of a controller 3, a data processing device 4, and the like.

In the above configuration, in the PO8 terminals 1 and 2, the barcode on the product is read by the scanner, and the single item code obtained from the barcode is sent to the PLU controller 3, and the unit price and product name are referred to and input separately. Register the product with the quantity and city and carry out the transaction.

The transaction data of the products registered in this way is filed for each PO8 terminal 1 to 2, and is stored in the data file 6 of the PLU controller 3 and aggregated for data processing by the settlement process carried out after the business ends. It is sent to device 4.

As described above, sales data for each department is collected and used for sales management.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Inventory taking is carried out regularly and irregularly during business closures for purposes such as settlement of accounts and inventory management, but as mentioned above, taking inventory by individual item using the traditional method is expensive.

There is a problem in that it requires a lot of manpower.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a PO system equipped with an inventory processing function.
The purpose is to provide an S system.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the POS system of the present invention includes:
As shown in the principle explanatory diagram in FIG.
9) is provided in the transaction terminal device, and inventory processing is performed by registering inventory products in the transaction terminal device.

[Effect]

For example, after inputting an inventory command to the PoS terminal by key operation or the like, the bar code of the inventory product is read and the quantity is input and registered by the same operation as for registering the transaction product.

The read single item code is sent to the PLO controller, the total price of the single item is totaled based on the responded unit price, and is stored in the inventory registration file provided in the PO3 terminal along with other data necessary for inventory.

After the inventory is completed at the PoS terminal, a termination command is input.

When the data processing device sends an inventory data transmission request message, the PLU controller confirms that the inventory has been completed at each PO3 terminal, and then sends an inventory data transmission request message to each PoS terminal, causing it to send the filed inventory data.

This inventory data is aggregated, sent to a data processing device, and output as a list.

As mentioned above, after declaring inventory, inventory products are registered using the same simple input method as normal product registration, and are aggregated by individual item in the data processing device, which has a great effect on sales management. .

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 (a POS system block diagram of an embodiment) and FIG. 2 (a flowchart of an inventory processing operation).

In FIG. 2(a), 7 is a PO3 terminal capable of registering inventory products, and during business hours, product registration is performed as follows while communicating with the PLU controller 18. That is, when the scanner 12 scans the barcode on the product, the barcode is read, and the single item code is sent to the PLU controller 18 through the interface section 8.

PLU con! - In the roller 18, the PLU processing unit 21 refers to the PLO table 5 based on the single item code,
The unit price and product name are sent as a response to the POS terminal 7.

As a result, the unit price is displayed on the display section 9, and then the transaction details are output to the printer 11 using the input quantity 2 total key or the like, and the transaction data is stored in the memory 13.

The registered transaction data is totaled in the data file 6 of the PLU controller 18 by an accumulation operation performed after the business hours are closed, and then transmitted to the data processing device 4 and output as a list.

In a POS system that performs the above operations, for inventory processing, the POS terminal 7 includes an inventory processing unit 16 that aggregates and transmits inventory data in accordance with inventory product registration processing and inventory data transmission requests, and registers inventory products. Inventory registration file 15
The PLU controller 18 includes an inventory processing unit 23 that identifies and files inventory data sent from each PO3 terminal.
and an inventory total file 22 are provided.

Hereinafter, the inventory operation and operation will be explained based on FIG. 2 (bl).

(Set the PO5 terminal 7 to inventory mode by operating the 11 key.

(2) Scan the barcode Rahel of the inventory product and input the quantity.

The single item code is sent to the PLU controller 18, and the total price of the single item is calculated based on the obtained unit price and stored in the inventory registration file 15 together with the single item code, quantity, etc.

(3) After all inventory registration at the PO3 terminal 7 is completed, input a termination command.

(4) When the data processing device sends an inventory data transmission request message, the PLU controller 18 confirms that the inventory has been completed at each PO8 terminal, and then sends an inventory data request message to each PO8 terminal.

(In 51PO3 terminal 7, own inventory registration file 15
The PLU controller 18 tallies the information and sends it as an inventory tally message.
Send to.

(6) The PLU controller 18 identifies this message, stores it in the inventory tally file 22, and transmits it to the data processing device 4.

(7) If the data processing device 4 performs a predetermined aggregation process,
Execute this and output a list.

As described above, after making an inventory declaration, inventory items can be registered using the same operations as normal registration processing, and items are totaled by individual item code.

In addition, although inventory is usually carried out during business holidays, individual inventory declarations can be made by pressing the keys on the PO8 terminal, making it easy to carry out inventory for each department during business hours.
A request message is sent and collected from the POS terminal.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a POS system that can perform inventory processing for each individual item by registering inventory products, and therefore has an extremely large effect on sales management.
