Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a system for issuing a voucher for product delivery when payment for a sold product and delivery of the product cannot be made at the same time. Regarding electronic cash registers that can be used.

[Prior Art] For example, when a clothing store sells slacks or the like to a customer, it is generally necessary to re-sleeve them based on the customer's request. In such a case, it is not possible to receive the payment and deliver the product at the same time. Therefore, although product sales registration processing and payment of payments are performed using an electronic cash register, it is necessary to create a product exchange ticket separately from the receipt. Then, the customer can receive the product by bringing this exchange ticket after the designated delivery date.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, such a system has the following problems. That is, since the cashier is responsible for creating the above-mentioned voucher, there is a concern that the burden on the cashier will increase.

Furthermore, even if the customer brings the exchange ticket at a later date,
The cashier compares it with the receipt slip to check whether the delivery of the product has been completed, and then either goes to the product storage area to look for the product or asks another salesperson to check the product. There are times when the delivery process does not proceed smoothly.

In addition, it is difficult for store managers to easily grasp how many of the sold products are for which exchange tickets have been issued, or how many products have not been picked up even after the delivery date. There was a problem.

The present invention was developed based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to reduce the burden on the cashier and to reduce the burden on the cashier by issuing an exchange ticket together with the receipt and also remembering whether or not the product has been delivered. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash register that can smoothly proceed with delivery operations.

In addition to the above-mentioned purpose, another object of the present invention is to issue information on whether or not the product has been delivered as an exchange confirmation report as needed, so that the delivery status of the product can be immediately confirmed, thereby increasing the efficiency of sales operations. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash register that can be improved.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cash register of the present invention includes a voucher memory 1 having a storage area for storing the delivery date and customer code of products sold for each customer. and a delivery completion memory 2 for storing information on whether or not the delivery of the product has been completed for each customer, and in response to the closing key operation after the delivery date input operation is performed during the product sales registration operation,
The delivery date and customer code input into the voucher memory 1 by the voucher memory setting means 3 are stored, and the delivery date and customer code input into the voucher memory 1 by the voucher issuing means 4 are stored in response to the operation of the closing key. Issue a voucher with the customer code printed on it. Further, in response to the customer code input operation, the delivery completion certificate issuing means 5 issues a delivery completion certificate! ! A delivery completion certificate is issued when the product delivery for the corresponding customer code in the completion memory 2 has not been completed.

In addition to the above-mentioned invention, an electronic cash register of still another invention is such that when a report issuance command is input, the exchange confirmation report issuance means 6 prints out the contents stored in the exchange ticket memory 1 and the delivery completion memory 2 as an exchange confirmation report. This is what is output.

[Function] In an electronic cash register configured in this way, if the product cannot be delivered at the time of payment, the product data such as the number of products sold and the sales amount can be entered manually, and the product can be delivered before pressing the closing key. When the date is input, the delivery date and customer code are stored in the voucher memory in response to the next closing key operation, and a voucher with the delivery date and customer code printed on it is issued. Further, information as to whether the product has been delivered or not is stored for each customer code in the delivery completion memory. Then, when the customer code is input at a later date, a delivery completion certificate will be issued only if the delivery completion memory stores that the delivery has not been completed.

Another function of the invention is that, in addition to the above-described function, when a report issue command is input, the stored contents of the voucher memory and the delivery completion memory are printed out as an exchange confirmation report.

Therefore, the delivery status of the product can be easily grasped.

[Example code] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the electronic cash register of the embodiment. CPtJ (Central Processing Unit) 1
1 has a built-in arithmetic circuit, command register, etc., and performs various arithmetic processing based on input information from the keyboard 12, as well as data PASCO 3.1. A ROM 15 that stores fixed data of programs such as [registration], [inspection], and [accounting] is connected via a control line 14. The key operates the RAM 16 which stores variable data such as sales data for each product.

Also connected to the CPU 11 are a print buffer storage unit 18 that stores print data to be sent to the printer drive circuit 17 via the data bus 13 and a display buffer storage unit 20 that stores display data to be sent to the display drive circuit 19. ing. In addition, the above CPLJ11 has the keyboard 1
a keyboard circuit 21 to which key signals from 2 are input; The printer drive circuit 17 of the printer 22 that prints out information on the receipt, the print buffer? Storage unit 189 Display unit drive circuit 196 of display unit 23 Display buffer storage unit 20 is connected to control line 14
Control via.

As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard 12 includes numeric keys 24 . Department key 25 for entering the department code of the sales item. - Subtotal key 26 for calculating subtotals of products sold to customers. In addition to the sales registration keys such as the deposit/cash key 27 as a closing key for calculating the total amount, there is also a voucher key 28 used when issuing vouchers.
Various function keys such as a customer code key 29 and a correction key 30 for canceling numeric data that has been quantified once are arranged. Further, a control key 31 is provided which is used to control power on/off and select various tasks such as [registration], [inspection], and [accounting].

As shown in FIG. 4, in the RA~116, there is a sales registration file R1, which cumulatively registers the number of items sold and the sales amount, for example, by department code. In addition to the totalizer R2 for calculation,
A voucher memory R3 is formed to store information on vouchers issued for later delivery of merchandise. Within this voucher memory R3, there is a delivery date area R4 that stores the delivery date of the issued voucher for each area number, a customer code area R5 that stores the customer code of the customer who purchased the voucher, and a delivery date area R4 that stores the delivery date of the voucher issued for each area number. A flag area R6 is formed to store a transfer end flag as a transfer end memory indicating that the transfer has ended.

Additionally, a customer code counter R7 counts the customer code A stored in the customer code area R5 of the voucher memory R3.
, an area number counter R8 is formed to count the area A number B of an area storing information such as the delivery date, customer code, and delivery completion flag of each voucher.

Therefore, the CPU 11 is configured such that the control key 31 is [
[Registration] With the business mode set, the registration process of sales products is executed according to the flow shown in FIG. That is, when the flowchart is started, sales data such as the sales amount of one sales item and the 9 department codes for sales items are input by operating the number keys 24 and department keys 25 arranged on the keyboard 12 at Pl. Then, memory processing is executed for the sales registration file R1 and totalizer R2 in the RAM 16, and sales data 33 consisting of item name (department name) and sales amount is printed out on the receipt 32 as shown in FIG. Next, at P2, when the voucher key 28 is pressed manually and then the customer code key 29 is pressed manually, it is determined that the voucher issuing operation has started. Then, the count value A of the customer code counter R7 is stored in the customer code area R5 of the area number in the voucher memory R3 specified by the count value B of the area 1 number counter R8. When the subtotal key 26 is pressed manually, the system waits for input of date data indicating the delivery date using the numeric key 24 at P3.

Note that if the correction key 30 is operated before the subtotal key 26 is operated, it is determined that the issuance of the exchange ticket has been canceled, the previously stored customer code is cleared, and the process returns to R2.

When date data is input in R3, the voucher memory R3
is stored in the delivery date area R4 of area number B. and,
When the deposit/cash total key 27 as a closing key is operated in R4, 1, the total amount of the totalizer R2 is printed out on the receipt 32, 1 is displayed on the display section 23, 2 the normal operation such as clearing of the totalizer R2, etc. Performs the closing key process. Note that if the correction key 30 is operated before the closing key is operated, the previously stored delivery date is cleared and the process returns to R3.

When the closing key process is completed, the delivery date and customer code in area number B of the voucher memory R3 are read out and printed as a voucher 34 on the receipt 32 as shown in FIG. After incrementing the count values A and B of the customer code counter R7 and area number counter R8 by 1, the receipt 32 is cut and discharged from the receipt issuing port.

Note that the exchange ticket key 28 is not operated at R2, and at R5.
When the deposit/total key 27 is operated, a normal closing key process is executed and then a receipt is issued.

Further, when the customer brings the already issued exchange ticket 34 and requests delivery of the product, the CPU 11 is configured to issue a delivery completion certificate according to the flowchart of FIG. That is, when it is confirmed that the control key 31 is in the [registration] business mode, the customer code written on the exchange ticket 34 is input using the numeric key 24, and then when the exchange ticket key 28 is operated, It is determined that the customer code has been input. Then, the customer code area R5 of the voucher memory R3 is searched using the customer code, and when the corresponding customer code is retrieved, a key operation of the deposit/cash key 27 is waited for in R6. Before operating the deposit/cash key 27, press the correction key 30.
If the key is operated, it is determined that the customer code has been entered incorrectly and the process returns to R5.

When the deposit/cash key 27 is operated in R6, it is confirmed in R7 that the flag fm in the exchange ticket memory R3 [the delivery end flag of the corresponding customer code in R6 is not set to 1 yet. When the confirmation is completed, this handover completion flag is set to 1.
9, a delivery completion certificate 35 consisting of a message and the corresponding customer code is printed out on the receipt 35, and the receipt is issued.

Note that if the delivery end flag of the corresponding customer code has already been set to 1 in R7, it is determined that the actual product delivery has already been completed, and an error message is displayed on the display unit 23.

Further, the CPU 11 is configured to execute the exchange confirmation report issuance process according to the flowchart of FIG. 7 while the control key 31 is set to the [inspection] or [settlement] business mode.

That is, when the voucher key 28 is operated, it is determined that a report issue command has been input, and the delivery date and customer code for each customer are stored in the voucher memory R3.

The data such as the delivery end flag is rearranged in the order of the 8th delivery. Then, the count value B of the area number counter R8 is initialized to 1. Next, the total number of areas BE where data is stored
Calculate. Roughly speaking, the number of products for which delivery has been completed, 01, that is, the number of delivery completion flags that have already been set to 1, is set in the initial io.

When the above initial processing is completed, the setting state of the transfer end flag stored in the area of the count value B of the area number counter R8 is checked in R8. If the delivery end flag of the corresponding area is set to 1, the delivery date and W customer code of the corresponding area are read out and printed out on the receipt 32 together with the completed mark.

Then, only when the control key 31 is set to the [Payment] business mode at R9, the delivery date, customer code, and delivery end flag of area number B that has already been printed are cleared. Additionally, the number C of products that have been delivered is counted up by one. Then, when it is confirmed in Plo that the count value B of the area number counter R8 does not exceed the total number of areas BE, 1 is added to the count value, and the process returns to R8 to check the transfer end flag of the next area.

If the delivery completion flag is not yet set to 1 in R8, the delivery of the product corresponding to this area has not yet been completed, so the delivery date of the corresponding area.

Only the customer code is printed out on the receipt 32.

In Plo, when the count value B of the area number counter R8 exceeds the total number of areas BE, all the data stored in the exchange ticket memory R3 has been printed out, so the number of hot items to be delivered C becomes the total number of areas. Only when BE has been reached, that is, when all products have been delivered, the count 1iEIA of the customer code counter R7 is set to the initial value 1.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, a receipt 32 on which an exchange confirmation report 36 consisting of the delivery date, customer code, and information on whether or not the delivery has been completed is printed in the order of eight deliveries is issued.

In the electronic cash register configured as described above, if the product cannot be handed over at the time of payment, the product data such as the number of products sold and the sales amount can be entered manually using the number keys 24 and department keys 25 of the keyboard 12. Voucher key 2
8 and the customer code key 29, the date data of the delivery date is entered using the numeric key 24, and then the subtotal key 26 is entered manually. After that, when the deposit/cash total key 27 is operated, in addition to the usual sales data 339 total amount, etc., an exchange ticket 34 consisting of a customer code and delivery date is printed out on the receipt sheet 32 as shown in FIG. publish.

In addition, if the customer requests delivery of the product by bringing the exchange ticket 34 after the specified delivery date, the cashier enters the customer code written on the exchange ticket 34 using the numeric key 24 and enters the customer code written on the exchange ticket 34, 28, a delivery completion certificate 35 shown in FIG. 9 will be issued unless the delivery of this product has been completed.

Then, at the time of [inspection] or [M calculation] work, the exchange ticket key 28
When you press the key, the exchange confirmation report 3 shown in Figure 10 will be displayed.
6 will be issued.

In this way, a voucher can be issued along with a regular receipt with a simple keystroke, and even when a product is delivered, a simple keystroke can automatically determine whether the product has been delivered or not, and check whether the product has been delivered or not. Since the delivery completion certificate 35 is issued only at the time of delivery, the burden on the cashier can be significantly reduced, and the efficiency of product delivery work and sales registration work can be improved.

Furthermore, by checking the exchange confirmation report 36, the store manager can immediately grasp the delivery status of each product.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, an exchange ticket is issued together with a receipt, and whether or not the product has been delivered is also stored. Therefore, the burden on the cashier can be reduced and the product delivery operation can be carried out smoothly.

Furthermore, since the information on whether or not the product has been delivered can be issued as an exchange confirmation report if necessary, the delivery status of the product can be immediately confirmed, and the efficiency of sales operations can be further improved.
