Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sales data processing device such as an electronic register placed in a store.

[Prior Art] Generally, an electronic register is provided with a memory for storing total sales data corresponding to product classification.
It is configured to accumulate the input sales data of each product into total sales data in the memory according to its classification. Furthermore, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-31162, there are electronic registers that also manage stock quantity information. This electronic register is provided with a memory for storing inventory quantity information corresponding to product classification, and subtracts the inventory quantity information each time sales data is input. This stock quantity information is displayed on the display section, and in particular, if the stock quantity is zero, the symbol "S" is displayed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With the above-mentioned electronic register, it was necessary for the operator to check the displayed inventory quantity and determine the necessity of placing an order. For this reason, even if the inventory quantity is displayed, there is a risk that the display may be overlooked, and subsequent tasks such as ordering cannot be carried out smoothly. Furthermore, the process of placing an order is very complicated, such as creating an order slip and sending it to a supplier, etc., so there is a drawback that the process cannot be processed accurately and quickly.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the work of checking the value of sales data and the work of ordering the result in a sales data processing device.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of the present invention are as follows.

A sales data storage means for storing sales data by type such as by transaction or classification, storing destination data and reference values for transmission permission or not set in advance corresponding to the types of sales data, and completing transmission. transmission data storage means for storing completion data indicating completion data; means for updating the sales data based on input data; and whether the updated sales data has reached the reference value stored corresponding to the type of sales data. a determining means for determining whether or not a reference value has been reached, and when the determining means determines that the reference value has been reached and no completion data has been written in the transmission data storage means, a determination means corresponding to the type of the updated sales data; A transmitting means for transmitting ordering information such as a predetermined product name and number of orders to a destination indicated by the stored destination data, the ordering information corresponding to the type of the sales data to which the ordering information is transmitted; and means for writing completion data into the transmission data storage means.

[Operation] The sales data stored by type in the sales data storage means is updated based on input data. At this time, the determining means determines whether the updated sales data has reached a reference value stored in advance for each type. Then, on the condition that it is determined that the reference value has been reached and completion data indicating that the transmission is completed is not written in the transmission data storage means, the transmission destinations stored in advance for each type of sales data. Outputs order information to the destination indicated by the data. After the transmission is complete,
Completion data is written for each corresponding type in the transmission data storage means to prevent the same ordering information from being erroneously transmitted again.

In this way, arbitrary reference values and destination data are set for each type of sales data, and when updating sales data, it is constantly monitored to see if the sales data has reached the reference value. As soon as the optimum value for a category is reached, orders can be placed automatically to the necessary destinations according to each category, and accurate and quick processing can be performed without operator intervention.

[Example] An example will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a terminal device on the retail store side that performs data communication regarding ordering of products from the wholesale store using, for example, a telephone line. That is, the transmission control unit 1 is connected to the above telephone line, and the CPU (central processing unit) 2
are connected in both directions.

The CPU 2 is a circuit that controls various operations according to various microinstructions stored in advance.
Has registers A, B, C, i, j, FZ
It consists of a RAM (random access memory) 2A, an arithmetic section 2B that performs various operations, and a control section 2C that stores microinstructions. Therefore, the above A, B,
The C register is a calculation register, the i register is an address register for transaction-specific memory and classification-specific memory, which will be described later, the j register is an address register for save memory, which will be described later, and the FZ register is a flag after transaction-specific key operation. This flag register is set to "1" and is set to "0" after any other key operation.

The transaction memory 3, the classification memory 4, and the save memory 5 are all constituted by RAM.
Further, the transaction-specific memory 3 is a memory that stores transaction-specific data such as cash sales, rental sales, etc. of products traded with customers at retail stores, and the classification-specific memory 4 stores data for each product category. The save memory 5 is a memory that temporarily stores, for example, the address of the classification memory 4 corresponding to a product that is no longer available unless ordered.

The input unit 6 is provided with various keys necessary for registration processing, inspection processing, payment processing, etc. related to commodity transactions, and the output of each key is input to the CPU 2 and processed. And various processing data of CPU2
The display unit 7 and printing unit 8 connected to
Displayed or printed.

A clock circuit 9 is also connected to the CPU 2, and time data from the clock circuit 9 is read out to the CPU 2 when a commodity transaction or the like is performed.

FIG. 2 shows a memory map of the classification memory 4. That is, the classification memory 4 has storage areas for storing a large number of product names, sales amounts, sales quantities, stock quantities, ordered stock quantities, ordered quantities, order destinations, and order flags (Flags) for each product. The ordered stock quantity is the standard stock quantity at which the product is considered to be ordered when the stock reaches this ordered stock quantity. In addition, the product name and order quantity are listed in the order information (described later).
be treated as such.

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. Further, the actual ordering process using the telephone line is carried out when the number of products to be ordered reaches a predetermined number N, and is carried out after the registration process is completed to avoid inconvenience to the customer.

The flowchart in FIG. 3 starts to be executed after the terminal device is powered on. That is, first, step _S1
Then, it is determined whether the flag in the flag register FZ is "1" (present) or "0" (absent). After the transaction key is operated, that is, after the registration process is completed, it is set to "1". In that case, the process proceeds to step _S2 , and the address data in the address register j of the save memory 5 is set to a predetermined number. It is determined whether the number is N or more. On the other hand, if the flag in the flag register FZ is "0", the process advances to step _S11 , where it is determined whether or not there is a key input.

If you proceed to step _S2 above, Taiko memory 5
If the data within is equal to or greater than the predetermined number N, the ordering process via the telephone line from Step _S2 is executed.
On the other hand, if the predetermined number N has not been reached, the above steps are performed.
Proceed to S ₁₁ .

Proceeding to step _S11 , a process for determining whether or not there is a key input is executed, and if there is no key input, the process returns to the initial state of step _S1 . On the other hand, if there is a key input, the process proceeds to step _S12 , where it is determined whether the operated key is a classified key or not.When it is determined that the operated key is a classified key, the registration process starts, and the process continues. Proceeds to _S13 , registration processing is executed, and the CPU
2 writes new data into the transaction memory 3 and the classification memory 4. That is, the sales amount and number of sales are accumulated, and the number of items in stock is subtracted. Further, the registered contents are displayed on the display section 7, and furthermore, the printing section 8 prints on the receipt and journal paper.

On the other hand, if an operation key other than the classification key is determined, other processing than the registration processing is started, and the process proceeds to step _S19 where other processing is executed, and when that processing is completed, step _S1 is started. Return to

When the registration processing in step _S13 is completed, the process proceeds to step _S14 , where it is determined whether the current inventory quantity of the product for which registration processing has been performed is less than or equal to the ordered inventory quantity of the product. In this case, according to the address of the address register i of the classification memory 4, the current inventory quantity and ordered inventory quantity of the product are respectively,
It is read out from the classification memory 4 and judged by the CPU 2. If the stock quantity has not yet fallen below the ordered stock quantity, the process returns to step _S1 ; on the other hand, if it has fallen below the ordered stock quantity, the process proceeds to step _S15 , where the order flag for that product has already been set to "1". It is determined whether or not it is set. In this case as well, the content of the ordering flag for the product is read from the classification memory 4 and determined by the CPU 2. If the order flag has already been set, return to step _S1 ,
On the other hand, if the address register i has not been set, the process advances to step _S16 , and the address data in the transaction memory 3 and classification memory 4 of the currently registered product is stored in the address register j of the save memory 5. is written to the address specified. Next, the process proceeds to step _S17 , where address register j is incremented by +1 and updated. Next step S ₁₈
The ordering flag for the currently registered product is set to "1", and the process returns to step _S1 .

As described above, through each process in steps _S14 to _S18 , the inventory quantity for the product is determined immediately after the registration process is completed, and if the inventory quantity is less than the ordered inventory quantity, In this case, the address of the memory for each category of the product and the ordering flag are set.

Next, explaining the ordering process using the telephone line, if in step _S2 the address data in the address register j of the save memory 5 is larger than the predetermined number N, the ordering process in steps _S3 and subsequent steps is executed. That is, first, in step _S3 , the address in the save memory 5 indicated by address register j is transferred to address register i, and then in step _S4.
The ordering information consisting of the product name, the number of orders, and the ordering party are read out.

Next, the supplier is called (step _S5 ),
If there is a response, transmission of order information will begin (step _S6 ). In this case, the product name, order quantity, and date and time data read from the clock circuit 9 are
It is sent all together as block data. Further, the printing unit 8 prints the ordering party, ordering information (ie, product name and order quantity), date, and time (step _S7 ). Address register j is then set to -1 (step S ₈ ). Then, in step _S9 , it is determined whether the data in the address register j has become " ₀ ", whether there is a blockage, and whether all product orders have been completed. Each process from S ₃ to S ₉ is repeated. When all orders have been placed, the data in the address register j becomes "0", so the process proceeds to step _S10 , where the address register j is incremented by 1 to make it "1" and set to the initial state, and then the process proceeds to step _S11 .

Through the above steps _S2 to _S10 , the ordering process is completed when a predetermined number N or more of ordered products are collected. When the product is received from the wholesale store later, the order flag for that product is cleared and the inventory quantity data is entered.

In the above embodiment, the order transmission process is performed after the registration process for one customer is completed, but it may also be performed at the time of inspection or payment. Alternatively, processing may be performed in which a product is deemed to be ordered when the sales amount or number of sales of the product reaches a specific amount or number, rather than when the number of items in stock reaches the number of items in stock to be ordered. Furthermore, the ordering point may be determined based on data on a transaction basis, not on data on a classification basis. Furthermore, instead of placing an order when N types of ordered products have been collected, it is also possible to place an order for one product at a time when ordered products are generated.
Furthermore, the transmission method may be either in-line or online.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention can provide a sales data processing device that can automatically transmit order information according to the value and type of sales data, so that the sales data can be adjusted to the optimal value for each type. Immediately upon arrival, orders can be automatically placed to destinations according to various quantities, making it possible to place orders accurately and quickly, and greatly improve the conventional complicated ordering work.
