DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sales data processing apparatus for processing card sales.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, stores that use prepaid cards have been expanded to stores that handle multi-item products such as department stores and supermarkets. However, for price-controlled products such as "cigarettes", it is necessary to purchase cards with premiums. They are banned. In other words, a card with a premium such as a prepaid card is provided with a discounted amount and the like because an operating profit is obtained, and it is prohibited to purchase a price-controlled product with a prepaid card.

[0003] In the conventional ECR, if a price-controlled product and other products are purchased during one transaction, the operator notifies the customer in advance that there is a product that cannot be purchased with a prepaid card, and registers the sales of the price-controlled product. Had to be closed separately.

[0004]

When price-controlled products and non-price-controlled products are mixedly purchased during one transaction as described above, it is necessary to register cash payment and card payment separately, and separately register them. was there. In the case of card payment, if the card presented by the customer does not have a card balance exceeding the payment amount, the payment must be made in cash, which makes the operation complicated and burdens the operator. . An object of the present invention is to make it possible to quickly perform card payment even if both a card payment and a non-card payment are registered in one transaction.

[0005]

The means of the present invention are as follows. In a sales data processing device for registering input sales data by category, control data storage means for storing control data indicating whether cards can be sold by classification, and corresponding to the classification of the input sales data. First determining means for determining whether or not to sell a card based on the control data in the control data storing means;
Calculating means for calculating the total amount of card sales of the class determined to be able to sell cards by the determining means, and whether or not there is a card balance in the card presented by the customer equal to or greater than the total amount determined by the calculating means Second determining means for determining
If it is determined that there is a card balance, a card payment process is performed by subtracting the total amount from the card balance,
When the card balance is determined to be insufficient, there is provided a payment processing means for performing a payment process by using a payment method other than a card by subtracting the card balance from the total amount.
Therefore, according to the present invention, even if a card which can be paid and a card which cannot be registered during one transaction are registered in a mixed manner, the processing by the card payment can be performed immediately, and the payment amount in the card presented by the customer can be obtained. Even if there is no such card balance, payment processing can be performed quickly.

[0006]

[Description of Functional Block Diagram] FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the present invention. The control data storage means 1 is a PLU (price lookup) file or a section file for storing control data indicating whether or not cards can be sold by category (for example, by product or section). The flag is a flag indicating whether or not selling is possible. The determination means 2 determines whether or not a card can be sold based on the control data in the control data storage means 1 corresponding to the classification of the input sales data. The sales amount calculating means 3 includes, among the sales data for each classification input during one transaction, the sales amount of each classification determined by the determination means 2 to be able to sell the card and the sales of each classification determined to be unable to sell the card. Ask for the amount. In this case, for example, in addition to the normal subtotal register that is updated every time sales data by classification is input, regardless of whether or not the card can be sold,
By providing a subtotal register for card sales that is updated each time sales data by classification that allows card sales is input, and subtracting the sales amount in the subtotal register for card sales from the sales amount in the normal subtotal register Alternatively, the sales amount for the classification of card unsold may be obtained.
The closing process control unit 4 causes the closing process to be executed for each card sale based on each sales amount calculated by the sales amount calculation unit 3. Here, the closing process in the case of card selling is a process of subtracting the sales amount of the card selling available from the card balance, and the closing process in the case of the card selling unavailable is a depositing process.

[0007]

An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the ECR. CPU1
1 controls the overall operation of the ECR in accordance with various programs stored in the ROM 12 in advance. The control unit 11-1 and the operation unit 11-
In addition to the flag register 2, a flag register 11-3 for storing a depositing flag described later is provided. The CPU 11 has a key input unit 13 as a peripheral device, a card reading / writing device 14 for a prepaid card, a magnetic ink character reading device (MCR) 15, a display unit 16, and a printing unit 1.
7. The drawer 18 is connected.

The key input unit 13 has a numeric key AK, a department key BK, a PLU key CK, and a cash key D on its keyboard.
K, card key EK, other function keys FK
In addition, a mode change switch MS is provided. The mode changeover switch MS switches between “set”, “return”, “OFF”, “registration”, “inspection”, and “payment” modes according to the switching position. Thus, the sales data by classification (PLU) input from the key input unit 13
The separate sales data and the sales data for each department) are registered in the corresponding totalizers (PLU file 19-1, department file 19-2) in the RAM 19 and added to the transaction subtotal register 19-3 in the RAM 19. Is done.

The RAM 19 has a PLU file 19-1,
In addition to the section file 19-2 and the transaction subtotal register 19-3, a prepaid subtotal register 19-4 and a card balance register 19-5 are provided. Here, the transaction subtotal register 19-3 is a normal register for storing the total sales registered during one transaction.
Reference numeral 9-4 denotes a register for storing a sales amount corresponding to a class in which card sales are possible among sales amounts during one transaction. The card balance register 19-5 is a register for storing the card balance of the prepaid card read from the card reading / writing device 14.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the PLU file 19-1. The PLU file 19-1 is a PLU indicating a product code.
In correspondence with No, in addition to the character (product name), unit price, and sales quantity, a PET (prepaid card) availability flag indicating the availability of card sales is stored.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the section file 19-2. The section file 19-2 corresponds to the section number indicating the section code, and includes the same as the PLU file 19-1 in addition to the sales amount and the sales quantity. It is configured to store a PET availability flag indicating the availability of card sales.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation when the mode is set to the registration mode by the mode change switch MS.
First, when the PLU key CK is operated in the waiting state of the registration operation (step S1), the PLU key CK is operated with the key code.
The U file 19-1 is accessed to read the unit price (PLU amount) corresponding to the PLU code (Step S)
2), this PLU amount is taken in as the product amount (step S3). On the other hand, in the waiting state of the registration operation, there is an input of the number (step S4), and when the section key BK is operated (step S5), the number data (sales amount) is taken in as the commodity amount (step S6). Then, the process proceeds to step S7, in which a PLU-specific registration process or a department-based registration process is executed to update the contents of the PLU file 19-1 or the department file 19-2. Here, in the PLU file 19-1 and the department file 19-2, a PET permission / inhibition flag is set for each classification as information indicating a payment method at the time of settlement, so that the next step S8 corresponds to the registered product. Then, it is checked whether or not the card can be sold with reference to the PET availability flag. Here, if the product can be sold by card, the value of the product is stored in the prepaid subtotal register 1
9-4 (step S9), and also to the transaction subtotal register 19-3 (step S10). If the card sale is an unnamed product (price-controlled product), this is displayed after the guidance is displayed ( In step S11, the commodity price is added to the transaction subtotal register 19-3 (step S10).

When the processing for one registration is completed in this way,
Whether a prepaid card has been inserted into the card reader / writer 14 to close the registration of one transaction (step S
12) It is checked whether the cash key DK has been operated (step S13). Here, when making a payment with a prepaid card, the card is inserted into the card reading / writing device 14, and when paying with cash, the cash key DK is operated.
If the registration is not completed but the registration is continued, the process returns to the initial operation waiting state on condition that the depositing flag in the flag register 11-3 is not turned on (step S14). Thereafter, each time the operation for one registration is performed, the above operation is repeated, and as a result, the transaction subtotal register 19-3
Stores the sales amount of one transaction. The prepaid subtotal register 19-4 stores in the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 products other than products whose card sales are prohibited, such as price-controlled products, that is, products for which card sales are possible. Is stored.

When the registration for one transaction is completed and payment by a prepaid card is requested, the operator inserts the prepaid card received from the customer into the card reader / writer 14. Then, step S
In step S15, this is detected, and the process proceeds to step S15, in which the card data read by the card reading / writing device 14 is fetched, and the validity of the card is checked (step S16). As a result, if the card is inappropriate, the card is ejected as it is (step S
32) If the card is appropriate, the flow advances to step S17 to check whether the value of the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 is larger than "0". If there is no sales of merchandise that can be sold, the card is ejected (step S3).
2) If present, card balance and prepaid subtotal register 19
-4 is compared (step S18). Here, if the card balance is equal to or greater than the value of the prepaid subtotal register 19-4, the card balance is subtracted from the prepaid subtotal register 19-4.
4 (step S19), and then the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 is subtracted from the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3.
Is subtracted (step S20). Thereafter, the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 is cleared to zero (step S).
21). On the other hand, if the card balance is insufficient, the card balance is subtracted from the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 (step S22), and then the card balance is subtracted from the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3 (step S23). Thereafter, the card balance is cleared to zero (step S24).

In step S25, the balance of the card is sent to the card reader / writer 14 to write the card on the prepaid card and then eject the card (step S26). Then, the sales data is registered (step S27), and a receipt is issued (step S28). Next, the process proceeds to a step S29 to check whether or not the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3 is "0". Here, when the sales amount for one transaction is completely paid by the prepaid card, the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3 is "0", but when only a part thereof is paid by the prepaid card, In the transaction subtotal register 19-3, the sales amount corresponding to the payment remains. Therefore, if the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3 is "0", the transaction subtotal register 19-3 and the prepaid subtotal register 19-4.
Is cleared to zero, and the depositing flag in the flag register 11-3 is turned off (step S30). On the other hand, if the value of the transaction subtotal register 19-3 is "0", the flow proceeds to step S31, turns off the depositing flag in the flag register 11-3, and then returns to step S12. here,
When the payment amount not paid by the prepaid card is paid by cash, the operator operates the cash key DK. Then, the process proceeds to step S33, and after the sales data is recorded, a receipt is issued (step S3).
4). Then, the transaction subtotal register 19-3 and the prepaid subtotal register 19-4 are cleared to zero, and the depositing flag in the flag register 11-3 is turned off (step S35).

In the above embodiment, each time the classified sales data is registered, it is determined whether or not the card can be sold. If the card can be sold, the prepaid subtotal is updated and the registered card is sold during one transaction. I asked for the sales amount of a possible product,
Each time the classified sales data is registered, a subtotal of products that cannot be sold by card may be obtained.

[0017] Further, in a system provided with one transaction memory for storing and holding the registration result of one transaction and a journal memory for storing and holding the registration result for a certain period, the sales amount that can be sold and the sales of the card are not possible. May be determined at the time of closing the registration of one transaction.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the total amount of card sales of the class determined to be able to be sold is determined, and it is determined that the card presented by the customer has a card balance greater than the total payment amount. If you do, the card payment process will be performed by subtracting the total payment amount from the card balance,
If it is determined that the card balance is insufficient, the payment amount will be deducted from the total payment amount minus the card balance using a payment method other than the card. Even if you register a mixture, you can immediately process by card payment,
In addition, even when the card presented by the customer does not have a card balance equal to or larger than the payment amount, the payment processing can be promptly performed.
