Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sales management system, and more particularly to a sales management system that improves the efficient arrangement and operability of keys for inputting a large number of products.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in a store such as fast food, there are a wide variety of items for sale and a large number of items. Conventionally, in this type of sales management system, a price lookup (hereinafter abbreviated as PLU) key configuration in which menu keys on which each menu is written is arranged on a plate is often employed together with a POS system. . The PLU key not only allows you to register the customer's ordered products by simply pressing the menu key written in letters or pictures, but also displays the unit price and accounting sales amount instantly on the display, enabling efficient operation Become.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional sales management system, all products that are input for sales must be registered in the PLU and set as menu keys. Therefore, as the number of products increases, the number of menu keys increases accordingly. Therefore, it is difficult to quickly select a desired menu key from among them, and not only the operation efficiency is lowered, but if all the menu keys are arranged on one plate, the menu key is inevitably changed. The size (area) has to be reduced, and therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to visually recognize the displayed menu.
[0004]
For example, FIG. 6 shows an example of a menu in a fast food restaurant. There are Small, Medium, and Large indicating sizes for each type of Coke, Diet Cooke, and Split, and a total of 12 types of products are registered in the PLU. Obviously, the above-mentioned problem occurs because each key is assigned.
[0005]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sales management system that allows easy visual recognition and facilitates selection of a large number of menu keys with a small number of menu keys.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, a sales management system according to the present invention is a sales management system in which a PLU key for inputting a PLU number of a product is depressed to search a PLU file and register the product.
A sales management system that stores different PLU numbers for different attributes and stores them in a PLU file for products of the same type and different attributes,
When pressed, a plurality of shift type PLU keys whose PLU numbers corresponding to common attributes of a plurality of products are stored in the temporary storage memory, and when pressed, the PLU number stored in the temporary storage memory and the attributes of itself are displayed. And a plurality of PLU keys for searching for a PLU file with the added PLU number, and after pressing the shift type PLU key, the PLU key is pressed to determine the PLU number of products, including the attributes, to register the goods and search for PLU file. The shift type PLU key is configured to display the product attributes on the display means when pressed.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of a sales management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of an embodiment of a sales management system according to the present invention.
[0008]
In this embodiment, the shift type attribute (product size, type, etc.) is assigned to the PLU registration as a shift number to set the shift type PLU, assign it to the keyboard, and search from the PLU master file by entering the shift type PLU key. Enter the sales of the product. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the attributes “Small”, “Medium”, “Large”, “Diet” with the shift type PLU Y / N and the PLU numbers 100, 200, 300, 010, 001, 002 are assigned. “, And product names“ Coke ”and“ Sprite ”are registered in the PLU.
[0009]
Referring to FIG. 1, first, it is determined whether or not there is a key input (step S1). If it is determined that there is a key input, a PLU file is searched with the PLU number input by the key (step S2). Next, it is determined whether or not the searched PLU is the shift type “1” (step S3). If “1”, the PLU number (1) is stored in the temporary memory (step S4), and the shift is performed in step S3. If the type is not “1”, it is determined whether or not the searched PLU is the shift type “2” (step S5). If “2”, the PLU number (2) is stored in the temporary memory (step S6).
[0010]
In step S5, if the shift type is not "2", it is determined whether or not the searched PLU is the shift type "3" (step S7). If the shift type is "3", the PLU number (3) is determined. Is stored in the temporary memory (step S8). If it is determined in step S7 that the PLU is not the shift type “3”, the PLU file is stored with the PLU number (1) + (2) + (3) + (shift type = 0 PLU number) stored in the memory. Is searched (step S9). Next, the retrieved PLU is confirmed and displayed on the screen (step S10), and the process is terminated. Here, during the processing of steps S4, S6, and S8, the name of the shift type PLU is temporarily displayed at the end of the screen.
[0011]
FIG. 3 shows the structure of the PLU file. The PLU file is composed of a plurality of files including a PLU number, name, unit price, and shift type (0, 1, 2, or 3). Here, the shift type PLU = 0 is used as a normal PLU.
[0012]
The number of PLUs set in the keyboard in the present embodiment is six as shown in FIG. 4, and a display example of each key input when inputting “Medium Diet Cooke” as a key input example is shown in FIG. (A) to (C).
[0013]
When the “PLU # 200 Medium” key on the keyboard is pressed, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), on the left side, the items that have already been entered and confirmed (“Hamburg” and “Cheese”) and the number and amount (dollars) Display) is displayed, and “Medium” as the currently input size is displayed on the right side. Next, when “PLU # 010 Diet” is input, “Diet” is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B, and when “PLU # 001 Cooke” is finally input, FIG. (PLU # 200 Medium) + (PLU # 100 Diet) + (PLU # 001 Cooke) sum information “PLU # 211 Medium Diet Cooke” is displayed together with the number and amount of money as shown in FIG. Become.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the sales management system of the present invention, the number of menu keys can be easily selected by arranging a small number of menu keys as compared with the conventional system. Visual recognition is also easy.
