(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram of a POS system to which a POS register (commodity sales data processing device) according to the first embodiment is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the POS system 1 includes three POS registers 3, a store controller 4, and a local area network (LAN) 5. The three POS registers 3 and the store controller 4 are connected to each other via the LAN 5. Although FIG. 1 shows an example of three POS registers 3, the number of POS registers 3 is not limited to three.

In the POS system 1, the POS register 3 is installed in the duty-free shop. The duty-free shop is, for example, an export goods sales floor or an export liquor sales floor (hereinafter, may be referred to as an “export goods sales floor, etc.”). In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the "store" is a "duty-free shop". The store controller 4 is installed in the backyard (office, etc.) of the store.

The POS register 3 executes accounting processing (settlement processing) based on the product registration processing unit that executes the product registration processing of the product to be purchased by the customer (shopper) and the product sales data registered in the product registration processing unit. It is a cash register terminal provided with an accounting processing unit. Customers include non-residents (mainly non-residents are assumed in this embodiment). Non-residents are foreign tourists, etc. who are temporarily staying in Japan and have passports, etc.

Therefore, the POS register 3 executes the product registration process and the accounting process of the duty-free goods under predetermined conditions. Duty-free goods are classified into, for example, general goods and consumables. General articles are, for example, home appliances, kimonos, clothes, bags and the like. Tax exemption is applied when the total daily sales of general goods to the same non-resident in the same store exceeds the prescribed amount (for example, 5,000 yen). Consumables include, for example, foods, beverages (including alcoholic beverages), chemicals, cosmetics and the like. Tax exemption is applied when the total daily sales of consumables to the same non-resident in the same store is within the specified range (for example, within the range of more than 5,000 yen and up to 500,000 yen).

The POS register 3 has a mode related to tax, a mode in which tax rate is normally applied and processing is performed (also referred to as "normal mode"), and a mode in which tax exemption is applied and processing is performed (also referred to as "tax exemption processing mode"). Has. The mode setting change is basically performed based on the operation of the store clerk. For example, in a store, when a non-resident presents a passport or the like and indicates that tax exemption is applied to purchase tax exemption goods, the clerk operates the tax exemption designation key (described later) to register the POS register. Set 3 to the tax exemption processing mode.

The POS register 3 set in the tax exemption processing mode is a product statement to be attached to the purchase record slip, a product statement to be attached to the purchaser's pledge, and a product statement to be attached to the packing list. And a statement of goods for non-resident's copy. In addition, a product statement for a copy of the store may be printed.

The purchase record form is a form created by the store. For example, the following items (1) to (6) are described in the purchase record slip.
(1) Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of landing (2) Type and number of passports, etc. possessed by the purchaser (3) Business operator who manages the export goods sales floor, etc. Name or name (4) Tax payment place and jurisdiction tax signature of the business operator who manages the export goods sales floor, location of the export goods sales floor, etc. (5) Date of purchase (6) Product name, quantity and price for each product name , Total value of goods, total price of sales As (6) above, the description of the goods printed by the POS register 3 is used. That is, by affixing the statement for attaching the purchase record slip to the purchase record slip and stamping it, the description of the item (6) in the purchase record slip can be omitted.

A purchaser pledge is a form that is signed by a non-resident and stored in the store for at least 7 years. For example, the following items (1) to (6) are described in the purchaser's pledge.
(1) Name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of landing of the purchaser (2) Type and number of passports, etc. possessed by the purchaser (3) Business operator who manages the export goods sales floor, etc. Name or name (4) Date of purchase (5) Product name, quantity and price for each product name, total price of goods, total sales price (6) Pledge to export after purchase (consumable) In the case of a product, it is pledged to export within 30 days from the date of purchase) and the signature of the purchaser As (5) above, the description of the product printed by the POS register 3 is used. That is, by attaching the statement for attaching the purchaser's pledge to the purchaser's pledge and stamping it, the description of the item (5) in the purchaser's pledge can be omitted.

The packing list is, for example, a form attached or affixed to the packing box when the contents or the number of consumables cannot be confirmed by packing the consumables in the box. The packing list includes at least the product name of the contents and the quantity for each product name. As the packing list, a description of the product printed by the POS register 3 or a list printed by extracting the product name and the quantity for each product name from this specification is used.

The store controller 4 is a management device that manages product data, purchase data, sales data (transaction information), customer data, and the like. The store controller 4 stores, for example, a product table (product master file) in which product data of each product is stored. In the present embodiment, the product data includes information on the type of product related to the application of tax exemption (specifically, whether the product is tax exempt or non-tax exempt) in addition to the name (product name) and price of each product. , Information indicating whether the goods are tax-exempt goods, whether they are general goods or consumables. Hereinafter, they may be referred to as "tax-exempt type").
LAN 5 is a computer network laid in the store. The LAN 5 may be connected to an external network (for example, the Internet or the like).

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the POS register 3. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the POS register 3. Specifically, FIG. 3A is a perspective view seen from the clerk side, and FIG. 3B is a perspective view seen from the customer side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the POS register 3 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a scanner unit 104, a store clerk display unit 105, a customer display unit 106, a hard disk 107, a key operation unit 108, and the like. It includes a measuring unit 109, a printing unit 110, a communication unit 111, and a drawer 113. These are connected to each other via bus 119.

The communication unit 111 communicates with an external device (for example, a store controller 4 or the like) via the LAN 5. The ROM 102 is a program to be executed by the CPU 101, data referenced by the program (for example, screen information displayed on the clerk display unit 105 or the customer display unit 106, and an issue (for example, a receipt) on the printing unit 110). Stores print information such as print format). Further, the ROM 102 stores the device number (device identification information) of the own device. The RAM 103 is a memory for expanding a program or work area read from the ROM 102. Further, the product table fetched from the store controller 4 is expanded in the RAM 103.

The CPU 101 controls the entire POS register 3 by executing the above program. That is, the POS register 3 executes various processes (product registration process, tax exemption designation acceptance process, tax exemption type identification process, error information output process, print control process, division process, etc.) by executing the program by the CPU 101. .. In addition, screens (product registration screen, subtotal) in which various operation keys (tax exemption designation key, receipt print key, packing list print key, additional print key, language selection key, summary report key, etc.) are arranged according to the process. The screen, etc.) is displayed on the clerk display unit 105, etc., and the issue is issued from the printing unit 110.

In the following description, the part of the POS register 3 (CPU101) that realizes the function related to the product registration process may be referred to as a product registration processing unit (or product registration unit). Further, in the POS register 3 (CPU101), the portion that realizes the function related to the tax exemption designation reception processing may be referred to as the tax exemption designation reception processing unit (or the tax exemption designation reception unit). The same applies to the tax exemption type identification process, error information output process, print control process, division process, and the like.

The tax exemption designation reception unit accepts the designation that the transaction is a tax exemption target transaction (also referred to as "tax exemption target transaction") (in other words, it accepts the setting of the tax exemption processing mode). Specifically, the tax exemption designation reception unit accepts the operation of the tax exemption designation key (also referred to as "tax exemption declaration operation") by the clerk. The clerk operates the tax exemption designation key when, for example, a non-resident presents a passport. In addition, the tax exemption designation reception department is a reader that can read the nationality information stored in the IC chip of the passport, and when the read nationality information is not the nationality information of Japan, it reads the nationality information other than Japan. Therefore, the transaction may be accepted as a designation as a tax exemption transaction.

The tax exemption type identification unit specifies the tax exemption type (general goods, consumables, non-tax exemption goods) of the goods to be purchased in the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode).

The product registration processing unit registers the product to be purchased. In the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the product registration processing unit registers the product to be purchased according to the tax exemption type. As an example, when the total sales amount of general goods on the same day exceeds 5,000 yen or the total sales amount of consumables on the same day exceeds 5,000 yen and is within the range of 500,000 yen. Registers the product exempt from the consumption tax amount.

The error information output unit outputs various error information and messages. For example, in a tax exemption transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the error information output unit displays a message for the clerk that "the tax exemption amount has not been reached" when the total sales amount of general goods on the same day does not exceed 5,000 yen. It is displayed on the display unit 105, and when the product to be purchased is a non-tax-exempt product, the message "It is not a duty-free product" is displayed on the display unit 105 for clerk. The display method may be pop-up display. Further, the display destination may be the customer display unit 106. Further, the audio output by a speaker (not shown) may be used instead of the display.

The print control unit controls printing of the issue by the print unit 110. For example, in a tax exemption transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the print control unit has a statement for attaching a purchase record slip (Fig. 6 etc.), a statement for affixing a purchaser's pledge (Fig. 7 etc.), and a customer copy (Fig. 7 etc.). 8 etc.)) is printed on the printing unit 110.

The print control unit may print the transaction number (the number that specifies the transaction included in the transaction information) of the product corresponding to the consumable item among the products registered by the product registration processing unit. The transaction number may be coded into a barcode or a two-dimensional code and printed. This simplifies the work of applying tax exemption based on the total amount of multiple transactions at the same store on the same day even if the tax exemption amount has not been reached in one transaction. That is, in the next and subsequent transactions, the transaction number of the current transaction can be easily confirmed from the issue of the current transaction, so that the transaction information of the current transaction stored in the POS register 3 and the store controller 4 can be used. You can easily inquire and confirm the total amount of this and next transactions.

When the total amount reaches the tax exemption amount due to multiple transactions at the same store on the same day, the following processing may be performed. That is, among multiple transactions at the same store on the same day, transactions that were not subject to tax exemption because they did not reach the tax exemption amount were temporarily canceled by "return", "correction", "cancellation", etc. Make it a state. Then, each transaction so far at the same store on the same day may be collectively accounted for. By pressing a predetermined key in response to the customer's request, the print control unit trades a sentence or marking indicating that the customer intends to settle the sum with the statement of the product corresponding to the consumable item. It may be printed on the publication along with the number.

The division unit divides the product details according to the tax exemption type. For example, the division unit divides the item description into general goods, consumables, and non-tax exempt goods. The division unit may divide the details of the product for each type (classification) of the product. The division unit may divide the product details for each of a predetermined number of products in the product registration order.

In addition, the print control unit may print one issue by dividing it into each product divided by the division unit. The method of classification may be blanks, classification lines, or information such as advertising information and store information. Further, the print control unit may print the issue for each product divided by the division unit.

The scanner unit 104 optically reads the coded information and stores the read information in the RAM 103. The customer display unit 106 is a liquid crystal panel and displays various information (for example, information about purchased products) to the customer. The customer display unit 106 may be a touch panel (for example, a liquid crystal touch panel) that accepts touch input (for example, input for displaying confirmation intention). The hard disk 107 is, for example, a magnetic recording device and stores various files and the like. The hard disk 107 may store the program. Further, the hard disk 107 may store various information (for example, transaction information) generated by executing the program.

The key operation unit 108 includes various operation keys (number key, cancel key, tare key, additional key, product number key, execution key, etc.) for receiving various operations from the store clerk. The CPU 101 executes a process according to an operation (pressing an operation key). The key operation unit 108 may include various operation keys similar to the various operation keys displayed on the store clerk display unit 105.

The weighing unit 109 weighs the weight (weight) of a product or the like (the product and the tare containing the product) placed on the scale 109a, and outputs data indicating the measured value to the CPU 101. The CPU 101, which has acquired the weighed value from the weighing unit 109, subtracts a predetermined weight (weight of the tare) from the weighed value to calculate the weight of the product placed on the scale 109a. Further, the CPU 101 temporarily stores the weight of the product calculated as described above in the RAM 103, and displays the weight on the display unit (clerk display unit 105, customer display unit 106).
The printing unit 110 prints on a paper medium and issues (outputs) from the issuing port 110a.

The drawer 113 has a storage unit for storing banknotes and money received from the customer, and the storage unit is pulled out to the front according to the operation of the clerk. Although the drawer 113 is exemplified in the present embodiment, money is used when there is a difference (change) between the deposit slot for depositing money (banknotes and coins) deposited by the customer and the deposit and payment price deposited by the customer. It may be an automatic change fishing bill machine (automatic change fishing bill device) provided with a withdrawal port for withdrawing (banknotes and coins).

The tax exemption designation key is an operation key for designating the transaction as a tax exemption target transaction (setting to the tax exemption processing mode), and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. For example, after receiving the passport from the customer, the clerk operates the tax exemption designation key between before the product registration operation of the first product and the operation of the subtotal key.

The receipt print key is an operation key for printing the receipt, and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. When the receipt print key is operated in the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the print control unit causes the print unit 110 to print a receipt (FIG. 13) recognizable as tax exemption.

The packing list printing key is an operation key for printing the packing list, and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. When the packing list printing key is operated in the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the print control unit causes the printing unit 110 to print the packing list.

The additional print key is an operation key for additionally printing the packing list, and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. When the additional print key is operated in the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the print control unit causes the print unit 110 to print the product details and the page number information as an additional packing list. The page number information includes, for example, a page number starting with "1" and a total number of pages as "page number / total number of pages". The print control unit causes the print unit 110 to print the page number information, for example, in the vicinity of the lower end portion or the upper end portion of the paper medium. For example, a “□” mark may be printed on the left side of the product name. As a result, when checking the contents of the package, it is possible to use it by marking the "□" mark.

The language selection key is an operation key for selecting a language to be printed, and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. As the language selection key, the keys of each language (for example, Japanese key, English key, Chinese key, Korean key) may be displayed side by side on the clerk display unit 105, or the language selection key is pressed (tap). If so, the selection key of each language may be displayed in a pop-up on the screen of the clerk display unit 105. In the tax exemption target transaction (tax exemption processing mode), the print control unit causes the print unit 110 to print in the language selected by operating the language selection key. The copy of the store may always be printed in Japanese by the printing unit 110.

In addition, the print control unit may have the print unit 110 print in both foreign languages and Japanese. For example, in the case of a consumable item, the print control unit may have the print unit 110 print in both a foreign language and Japanese. As a method of writing together, for example, two lines may be written together, a foreign language may be printed after Japanese, or Japanese may be printed after the foreign language.

Further, when the tax exemption designation reception unit is a reading device capable of reading the information stored in the IC chip of the passport, the print control unit causes the printing unit 110 to print in the language corresponding to the read nationality information. May be good.

The tabulation report key is an operation key for printing a tabulation report after closing, such as day closing, and is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. When the summary report key is pressed after closing the accounting process, the print control unit outputs a summary report including the total sales amount, tax exemption amount, tax exemption amount, etc. of the product for a predetermined period (for example, one day). , The printing unit 110 prints.

FIG. 4 is an example of a product table and the like. Specifically, FIG. 4A is an example of a product table. More specifically, FIG. 4A shows a product table when the product is alcoholic beverages. FIG. 4B is an example of a product registration file generated by the product registration process of the POS register 3. More specifically, FIG. 4B shows a product registration file when alcoholic beverages are registered as products. Note that FIG. 4 is an example of a sales floor where both sake and imo jōchu are sold, but this is for convenience of explanation.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the product table (product master file) stores information such as a product code, a liquor code, a product name, a unit price, an alcohol content, a liquor tax rate, and a specific weight. Although omitted in the example of FIG. 4A, it is assumed that the tax exemption type is stored in the product table as described above.

The liquor code is a code that classifies liquor. The unit price is the main unit price (tax excluded price) per unit quantity (unit volume) (per liter). The alcohol content is the alcohol content of the product (alcoholic beverage). The liquor tax rate for liquor code "250" differs depending on the alcohol content. The liquor tax rate is the tax amount per unit quantity (per liter) of the product (alcoholic beverage). The specific density is the specific density of the product (alcoholic beverage). The specific weight is required to obtain the volume required for calculating the liquor tax amount from the weight (weight) measured by the measuring unit 109. The product code is key information.

For example, "a" in the product table of FIG. 4 (A) has a product code of "1234", a liquor code of "110", a product name of "AA Masamune", a unit price of "3472", and an alcohol content of "15". The product data of the product (AA Masamune) having a liquor tax rate of "120" and a specific weight of "1.003" is shown. In addition, "b" has a product code of "2345", a liquor code of "250", a product name of "BB potato shochu", a unit price of "800", an alcohol content of "20", a liquor tax rate of "200", and a specific weight. Shows the product data of the product (BB potato shochu) whose value is "0.971".

The product table (product master file) is not limited to the above configuration. For example, the product table may store product names in each language in addition to the above information. For example, a Japanese name may be stored as the product name 1, an English name may be stored as the product name 2, and a Chinese name may be stored as the product name 3 in the product table. Further, the consumption tax rate (8% in this embodiment) may be stored. In addition, information on product categories (hierarchies) (major classification, middle classification, minor classification) may be stored, tax-included / tax-excluded classification (classification information of tax-included or tax-excluded), and consumption tax rate (book). 8%) may be stored in the embodiment. In addition, the product table may store at least one of information on the last update date, information on discounts (discount rate, discount amount, discount period), and information on costs.

Further, although it has been explained that the product table of FIG. 4A shows a product table when the product is alcoholic beverages, the product table of FIG. 4A may be used for products other than alcoholic beverages. When the product table of FIG. 4A is used for products other than alcoholic beverages, the values of items related to alcoholic beverages (alcohol content, liquor tax rate, etc.) may be, for example, NULL. The product table shown in FIG. 4A may be dedicated to alcoholic beverages, and for products other than alcoholic beverages, a product table having no items related to alcoholic beverages may be used.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the product registration file includes the product code, liquor code, product name, alcohol content, sales volume, liquor tax rate (shown as the tax rate in the liquor tax column in FIG. 4B), and liquor tax amount (shown in FIG. 4B). Figure 4 (B) shows the amount in the liquor tax column), consumption tax rate (shown in Figure 4 (B) as the tax rate in the consumption tax column), consumption tax amount (shown in Figure 4 (B) as the amount in the consumption tax column). Information such as (shown), total tax amount, main unit price (tax exemption price), and tax-included price is stored. The sales quantity is the quantity (liter) of the liquor sold. The liquor tax amount is the amount of liquor tax obtained by multiplying the sales volume by the liquor tax rate. The consumption tax amount is the amount of consumption tax obtained by multiplying the total amount of the main unit price and the liquor tax amount by the consumption tax rate. The total tax amount is the sum of the liquor tax amount and the consumption tax amount. The main unit price is the main unit price (tax-free price) obtained by multiplying the unit price by the sales quantity. The tax-included price is the sum of the main unit price and the total tax amount.

For example, in the product registration file "a" in FIG. 4 (B), the product code is "1234", the liquor code is "110", the product name is "AA Masamune", the alcohol content is "15", and the sales volume is "0". .72 ”, liquor tax rate is“ 120 ”, liquor tax amount is“ 86 ”, consumption tax rate is“ 8 ”, consumption tax amount is“ 207 ”, total tax amount is“ 293 ”, main unit price is“ 2500 ”, tax-included price is“ The product registration data, which is "2793", is shown. In addition, "b" has a product code of "2345", a liquor code of "250", a product name of "BB potato shochu", an alcohol content of "20", a sales volume of "1.50", and a liquor tax rate of "200". , The liquor tax amount is "300", the consumption tax rate is "8", the consumption tax amount is "120", the total tax amount is "420", the main unit price is "1200", and the tax-included price is "1620". Shows. The product registration data includes product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode.

The main unit price "2500" of "AA Masamune" is calculated by the unit price "3472" x the sales quantity "0.72". The liquor tax amount "86" of "AA Masamune" is calculated by the liquor tax rate "120" x the sales volume "0.72". The consumption tax amount "207" of "AA Masamune" is calculated by (main unit price "2500" + liquor tax amount "86") x consumption tax "0.08". The total tax amount "293" of "AA Masamune" is calculated by the liquor tax amount "86" + the consumption tax amount "207". The tax-included price "2793" of "AA Masamune" is calculated by the main body price "2500" + the total tax amount "293". The main body price "1200" of "BB Imo Shochu" is calculated by the unit price "800" x the sales quantity "1.50". The liquor tax amount "300" of "BB Imo Shochu" is calculated by the liquor tax rate "200" x the sales volume "1.50". The consumption tax amount "120" of "BB potato shochu" is calculated by (main unit price "1200" + liquor tax amount "300") x consumption tax "0.08". The total tax amount "420" of "BB Imo Shochu" is calculated by the liquor tax amount "300" + the consumption tax amount "120". The tax-included price "1620" of "BB potato shochu" is calculated by the main body price "1200" + the total tax amount "420".

The product registration file is not limited to the above configuration. For example, the product registration file may store at least one of a unit price, a specific weight, a selected language, information on a product category, a tax exemption type, and a tax-included / tax-excluded category, in addition to the above information. Further, the product registration file may store at least one of the processing date and time, the information for identifying the processed POS register 3 (device number), and the information for identifying the clerk who performed the processing. Further, the product registration file does not have to store at least one of the liquor code, the product name, the alcohol content, the liquor tax rate, and the consumption tax rate.

Further, although it has been explained that the product registration file of FIG. 4B shows a product registration file when the product is alcoholic beverages, the product registration file of FIG. 4B may be used for products other than alcoholic beverages. ..

In the present embodiment, as described above, in the tax exemption transaction, if the subtotal amount after the subtotal operation (after the subtotal key operation) is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount. It is configured to notify that. Specifically, an error screen (a tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen) for notifying that the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption target amount is displayed on the clerk display unit 105 of the POS register 3.

FIG. 14 is an example of a screen (product registration screen, tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen) displayed on the clerk display unit 105 of the POS register 3. In FIG. 14, reference numeral GM1 is a tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen. When the subtotal amount after the subtotal operation is less than the lower limit tax exemption target amount, the POS register 3 superimposes it on another screen, for example, and displays the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1. On the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1, a message notifying the clerk that the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption target amount (the message "The tax exemption amount has not been reached" in the figure) is displayed, and various types are displayed. Buttons (product addition button BT1, tax exemption invalid button BT2, tax exemption valid button BT3) are displayed (arranged). The product addition button BT1, the tax exemption invalid button BT2, and the tax exemption valid button BT3 are buttons for selecting an accounting method when the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption target amount.

When the subtotal amount at the time of subtotal operation is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, the POS register 3 may be superimposed on the product registration screen to display the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 or may be superimposed on the subtotal operation. The tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 may be displayed. That is, when displaying the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1, the product registration screen is switched to the subplanning surface based on the fact that the subtotal operation is performed regardless of the subtotal amount, and the tax exemption target amount shortage notification is superimposed on the subplanning surface. The screen GM1 may be displayed, or since the subtotal amount at the time of subtotal operation is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, tax exemption is superimposed on the product registration screen immediately before the subtotal operation without switching the screen from the product registration screen to the subplanning side. The target amount shortage notification screen GM1 may be displayed.

There are three options for accounting when the subtotal amount is less than the minimum tax exemption amount. The first option is an accounting method (also referred to as an accounting method for adding products) in which the subtotal amount is set to the lower limit tax exemption amount or more by adding purchased products or the like, and the transaction by tax exemption is completed. The clerk selects the first option (accounting method for adding products) by operating the product addition button BT1 on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1.

The POS register 3 erases the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 based on the operation of the product addition button BT1 and shifts to a state in which the product addition is permitted (the tax mode remains the tax exemption processing mode). be). That is, the POS register 3 shifts to a state in which the addition of products is not allowed when there is a subtotal operation, but when the product addition button BT1 is operated after the subtotal operation, the subtotal operation is canceled and before the subtotal operation. (A state that allows the addition of products). As a result, the customer can add purchased products so that the subtotal amount is equal to or greater than the lower limit tax exemption amount. If the POS register 3 is configured to allow the addition of products even after the subtotal operation as before the subtotal operation, the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen is simply based on the operation of the product addition button BT1. GM1 may be erased.

The second option is an accounting method that abandons tax exemption transactions (also called tax exemption invalid accounting method). The clerk selects the second option (accounting method for tax exemption invalidity) by operating the tax exemption invalidation button BT2 on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1.

Based on the operation of the tax exemption invalid button BT2, the POS register 3 erases the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1, shifts from the normal mode to the tax exemption processing mode, and executes accounting processing. That is, when the tax exemption invalid button BT2 is operated after the subtotal operation, the POS register 3 cancels the designation as a tax exemption target (invalidates the operation of the tax exemption designation key) and is in the state before the tax exemption designation key operation (normally). Mode) and execute accounting. This allows the transaction to proceed immediately without applying tax exemption.

The third option is an accounting method (accounting with tax exemption valid) that establishes a tax exemption transaction for this transaction based on the existence of the previous transaction without setting the subtotal amount of this transaction to the minimum tax exemption amount or more. Also called a method). The clerk selects the third option (accounting method for tax exemption valid) by operating the tax exemption valid button BT3 on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1.

In other words, for example, the customer who made the transaction this time may have already made a transaction of the minimum tax exemption amount or more at the store (export goods sales floor, etc.) on the same day (same day) and received tax exemption. .. In that case, even if the subtotal amount in this transaction of the customer is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, the purchase amount on the day is already equal to or more than the lower limit tax exemption amount. Therefore, for example, if the customer presents a receipt (customer copy) or receipt certifying that the transaction has already been made in excess of the minimum tax exemption amount on the day to the clerk, the subtotal amount will be subject to the minimum tax exemption for this transaction. Even if it is less than the amount, it is subject to tax exemption.

The POS register 3 erases the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 based on the operation of the tax exemption valid button BT3, and executes accounting processing in the tax exemption processing mode. You can apply tax exemption and proceed with the transaction immediately.

As described above, when the subtotal amount of one transaction in the tax exemption processing mode is less than the lower limit tax exemption target amount, the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen is displayed. In addition, you can operate the buttons on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen to select the accounting method as appropriate, and if you do not operate any of the buttons, the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen will not be deleted (because the processing does not proceed). , The clerk can surely recognize that the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, and can easily perform appropriate accounting treatment. For example, to prevent improper accounting treatment with tax exemption when it should not be applied, or to properly apply tax exemption for this transaction in consideration of the existence of the previous transaction. You can go.

In addition, the shortage amount may be displayed on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1. Further, the product name of the recommended product subject to tax exemption may be displayed on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 for which the subtotal amount is equal to or greater than the lower limit tax exemption target amount when the additional purchase is made. For example, several product names of tax-exempt products whose subtotal amount is equal to or greater than the lower limit tax-exempt amount when additionally purchased may be displayed in ascending order of the main unit price. In addition, a recommended product button is placed on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1, and the product name of the recommended product is displayed on a screen different from the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 when the recommended product button is operated. You may. In addition, instead of displaying the product name of the recommended product on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 or another screen, or in addition, when the product addition button BT1 is operated, the product name of the recommended product is used as a medium. It may be printed and published. For recommended products, it is advisable to consider sales performance (popularity, etc.) and products purchased by the customer (related, similar, etc.).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the POS register 3. Each process of the flowchart of FIG. 15 is controlled by the CPU 101. In this embodiment, the operation of the tax exemption designation key (tax exemption declaration operation) can be operated between before the product registration operation of the first product and the operation of the subtotal key. Therefore, the flowchart of FIG. 15 is started by the product registration operation of the first product or the operation of the tax exemption designation key. Further, in the description of FIG. 15, the purchased product is assumed to be alcoholic beverages weighed and sold by the weighing unit 109 (for example, AA Masamune shown in FIG. 4A, BB potato shochu, etc.).

Step S101: It is determined whether or not the product (alcoholic beverage) has been weighed. When the clerk puts the product on the scale 109a, the data showing the weight of the product (subtracting the weight of the tare) is output to the CPU 101. Therefore, did the CPU 101 acquire the data showing the weight? It may be determined whether or not it is. If the product is not weighed, the process of step S101 is repeated, and if the product is weighed, the process proceeds to step S102.

Step S102: It is determined whether or not the product has been selected. For example, when the clerk operates the preset button for each product displayed on the clerk display unit 105, the product code of the product corresponding to the operated preset button is output to the CPU 101, so that the CPU 101 acquires the product code. It may be determined whether or not it is. If the product selection is not accepted, the process of step S102 is repeated, and if the product selection is accepted, the process proceeds to step S103.

If the tare is different for each product, such as when a tare (a container such as a bottle) is prepared for each type of product (liquor), the product code of each product is coded in the tare that holds each product. A label printed with code information (bar code, two-dimensional code, etc.) is attached, and the store clerk reads the code information on the label attached to the tare using the scanner unit 104, so that the product code is the CPU 101. It may be output to.

Step S103: Performs product registration processing. That is, the CPU 101 registers the product based on the measured value of the product confirmed in the process of step S101, the product code of the product confirmed in the process of step S101, and the product table.

More specifically, as the process of step S103, the CPU 101 calculates the volume of the product of the product code from the specific weight of the product of the product code and the measurement value, and the calculated volume of the product of the product code and the product of the product. The main unit price of the product with the above product code is calculated from the unit price of the product with the code, the required tax amount, etc. are calculated, and the product with the above product code is registered (product registration data is generated and stored).

A specific example will be described. For example, when the product code is "1234 (the product is AA Masamune)" and the weighing value is "722.16 (grams)", the CPU 101 has the specific weight "AA Masamune" of the product "1234" of the product code "1234". From 1.003 (grams / milliliter) and the measured value "722.16 (grams)", the volume "720 (milliliters)" of the product "AA Masamune" is calculated. Subsequently, the CPU 101 is made of the product "AA Masamune" from the unit price "3472 (yen / liter)" of the product "AA Masamune" and the volume "720 (milliliters)" of the product "AA Masamune" calculated as described above. Calculate the main unit price "2500 (yen)". Subsequently, the CPU 101 is a product from the liquor tax rate "120 (yen / liter)" of the product "AA Masamune" and the volume (sales quantity) "720 (milliliter)" of the product "AA Masamune" calculated as described above. Calculate the liquor tax amount "86 (yen)" of "AA Masamune". Subsequently, the CPU 101 uses the consumption tax amount "207" from the main body price "2500 (yen)", the liquor tax amount "86 (yen)", and the consumption tax rate "8 (%)" of the product "AA Masamune" calculated as described above. (Yen) ”, total tax amount“ 293 (yen) ”and tax-included price“ 2793 (yen) ”are calculated, product registration data as shown in“ a ”in FIG. 4 (B) is generated, and stored in RAM 103. do. Following step S103, the process proceeds to step S104.

Further, in the process of step S103, the CPU 101 generates the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode for the product, and stores (holds) each of them in the RAM 102.

Regarding the processing in step S103, when the product registration processing is performed in the tax exemption processing mode, the product registration screen shows information (main unit price, etc.) to which the tax exemption is applied. On the other hand, when the product registration process is performed in the normal mode, the information (price including tax, etc.) to which the specified tax rate is applied is displayed on the product registration screen.

Step S104: It is determined whether or not the tax exemption declaration operation has been performed. If there is a tax exemption declaration operation, the process proceeds to step S105. If there is no tax exemption declaration operation, the process proceeds to step S106.
Step S105: Set to the tax exemption processing mode. If the tax exemption processing mode is already set, the processing in step S105 may be omitted. Following step S105, the process proceeds to step S106.

Step S106: It is determined whether or not there is a subtotal operation. If there is a subtotal operation, the process proceeds to step S107. If there is no subtotal operation, the process returns to step S101.

Step S107: It is determined whether or not the tax exemption processing mode is set. If the tax exemption processing mode is set, the process proceeds to step S111. If the tax exemption processing mode is not set, the process proceeds to step S119.

Step S111: Calculate the subtotal amount corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode. That is, the CPU 101 uses the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode among the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode stored in the RAM 102 in the processing of step S103. Calculate the subtotal amount. The subtotal amount calculated using the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode is the subtotal amount to which the prescribed tax rate is not applied (the subtotal amount to which the tax exemption is applied). Following step S111, the process proceeds to step S112.

Step S112: It is determined whether or not the subtotal amount calculated by the process of step S111 is equal to or greater than the lower limit tax exemption target amount. If the amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, the process proceeds to step S113. If the amount is equal to or greater than the lower limit tax exemption amount, the process proceeds to step S122.

Step S113: Display the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen. For example, the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1 as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed. As mentioned above, when the subtotal amount is less than the lower limit tax exemption amount, there are three options (accounting method for adding products, accounting method for tax exemption invalid, accounting method for tax exemption valid), so the clerk Selects one accounting method by confirming with the customer. For example, the clerk selects one of the product addition button BT1, the tax exemption invalid button BT2, and the tax exemption valid button BT3 arranged on the tax exemption target amount shortage notification screen GM1. Following step S113, the process proceeds to step S114.

Step S114: Determine the selected accounting method. That is, the CPU 101 determines which of the three accounting methods (accounting method for adding goods, accounting method for tax exemption invalidity, accounting method for tax exemption valid) is selected in step S113. If the selected accounting method is the accounting method for adding a product (when the product addition button BT1 is operated), the process returns to step S101. If the selected accounting method is a tax exemption invalid accounting method (when the tax exemption invalid button BT2 is operated), the process proceeds to step S115. If the accounting method is the selected tax exemption valid accounting method (when the tax exemption valid button BT3 is operated), the process proceeds to step S122.

Step S115: The tax exemption processing mode set in the processing of step S105 is canceled. That is, the CPU 101 is set to the normal mode. Following step S115, the process proceeds to step S119.

Step S119: Calculate the subtotal amount corresponding to the normal mode. That is, the CPU 101 subtotals using the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode among the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode stored in the RAM 102 in the process of step S103. Calculate the amount. The subtotal amount calculated using the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode is the subtotal amount to which the specified tax rate is applied. Following step S119, the process proceeds to step S120.

Step S120: Display the subplanning surface corresponding to the normal mode. That is, the CPU 101 displays a subplanning surface showing the subtotal amount corresponding to the normal mode calculated in step S119.
Step S121: The accounting process corresponding to the normal mode is executed. That is, the CPU 101 executes processing such as calculating change based on the subtotal amount corresponding to the normal mode and the deposit amount from the customer. Further, in the process of step S121, the CPU 101 issues a receipt (customer's copy statement) showing the accounting result corresponding to the subtotal amount to which the prescribed tax rate is applied. Then, this flowchart ends. In the process of step S121, the tax exemption-related media such as the statement for attaching the purchase record slip, the statement for attaching the purchaser's pledge, and the statement for the packing list are not issued.

Step S122: Display the subplanning surface corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode. That is, the CPU 101 displays a subplanning surface showing the subtotal amount corresponding to the normal mode calculated in step S111.
Step S123: The accounting process corresponding to the tax exemption process mode is executed. That is, the CPU 101 executes processing such as calculating change based on the subtotal amount corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode and the deposit amount from the customer. Further, in the process of step S123, the CPU 101 is a receipt (customer's copy statement) showing the accounting result corresponding to the subtotal amount to which the tax exemption is applied, a statement for attaching the purchase record slip, and a purchaser's pledge. Issue a statement for pasting and a statement for packing list. Then, this flowchart ends.

Although an example of the operation of the POS register 3 has been described above with reference to FIG. 15, the operation of the POS register 3 is not limited to the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. For example, in the flowchart of FIG. 15, the product is weighed in step S101 and the product is specified in step S102, but the product may be weighed after the product is specified. In other words, in the case of products that are weighed and sold (in addition to alcoholic beverages, beverages other than alcoholic beverages, prepared foods, products, seasonings, etc.), the unit price for each product is set in advance, so it is necessary to specify the product and weigh the product. The price of the product is determined by doing so, but the order of specifying the product and weighing the product may come first.

Further, when the weighing is unnecessary, that is, when the product is not weighed and sold, the process of step S101 is omitted.

Further, although omitted in the flowchart of FIG. 15, an operation of canceling the tax exemption processing mode between the start of product registration and the operation of the subtotal key (for example, the operation of the tax exemption designation release key (not shown)). Depending on the situation, the tax exemption processing mode may be canceled. That is, the POS register 3 has a tax exemption designation key for changing the mode from the normal mode to the tax exemption processing mode and a tax exemption designation release key for changing the mode from the tax exemption processing mode to the normal mode (displayed on the clerk display unit 105). It may be the one that is to be used, or it may be the one that is arranged as the key operation unit 108), and the tax exemption designation key and the tax exemption designation are specified between the start of product registration and the operation of the subtotal key. The mode may be changed based on the operation of the release key. Alternatively, even if a mode switching key (not shown) for switching to another mode is prepared and the mode is changed from the normal mode to the tax exemption processing mode (or from the tax exemption processing mode to the normal mode) each time the mode switching key is operated. good.

Further, a tax exemption designation key having a subtotal key function and a tax exemption non-designation key having a subtotal key function may be prepared, and either of them may be operated at the timing of the conventional subtotal key operation. That is, when the tax exemption designation key having the function of the subtotal key is operated after registering one or more products, the subtotal amount by the tax exemption processing mode is displayed, and the tax exemption non-designated key having the function of the subtotal key after registering one or more products. When is operated, the subtotal amount may be displayed by the normal mode.

FIG. 16 is an example of a statement for filing liquor tax printed by the POS system 1. For example, when the summary report key is operated in one POS register 3, the product file (FIG. 4 (A)) and the product registration file (FIG. 4 (B)) stored in the store controller 4 are stored. With reference to this, a statement for filing liquor tax as shown in FIG. 16 is generated and issued from the printing unit 110. The above specification may be issued from any POS register 3 by performing an operation on the store controller 4, or the above specification may be issued from a printer (not shown) arranged around the store controller 4. May be good. The specification shown in FIG. 16 can also be said to be one of the tax exemption documents related to liquor tax, similar to those shown in FIGS. 6 to 13.

Although the POS system 1 of the present embodiment has been described above, the data structure, processing flow, display and output modes, etc. can be changed and modified as appropriate.

For example, in the above explanation, it was explained that the product registration data in one transaction includes the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode. However, the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the tax exemption are provided. The data structure may be the same as the product registration data corresponding to the processing mode. For example, prepare two product registration files, store the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode in one product registration file, and store the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode in the other product registration file. Therefore, even if the data structure is the same, the two may be distinguished by the stored product registration file. For example, in step S103 of FIG. 15, since the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode and the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode are generated and stored, when the accounting processing is performed in the normal mode ( In step S121), the product registration data corresponding to the tax exemption processing mode is deleted, and when the accounting processing is performed by the tax exemption processing mode (step S123), the product registration data corresponding to the normal mode is deleted. good.

Also, instead of preparing two product registration files, the mode classification (information indicating whether it is the normal mode or the tax exemption processing mode) is stored as the product registration data, and the mode classification is used in the normal mode. It may be possible to distinguish between the existence and the tax exemption processing mode. For example, in step S103 of FIG. 15, one product registration data for both the normal mode and the tax exemption processing mode is generated (the mode classification is undefined at the time of step S103) and stored. Then, when the accounting process is performed in the normal mode (step S121), a value (for example, "0") indicating that the accounting process is performed in the normal mode is stored as the mode classification information, and the tax exemption process is performed. When the accounting process is performed by the mode (step S123), a value (for example, "1") indicating that the accounting process is performed by the tax exemption processing mode may be stored as the mode classification information. ..

In addition, although the example of exempting the liquor tax amount has been described when the customer is a predetermined condition (non-resident), it may be reduced (reduced or exempted) instead of exemption. Specifically, for example, the liquor tax rate may be lowered, a predetermined amount may be deducted from the liquor tax amount calculated according to the regulations, or a part of the quantity that is the basis of the liquor tax amount may be deducted (). A quantity smaller than the actual purchase quantity may be subject to liquor tax).

Further, although the POS register 3 includes the measuring unit 109, a device corresponding to the measuring unit 109 may be provided as a separate body. Further, the part for calculating the liquor tax amount may be separate. That is, a separate measuring device may calculate the liquor tax amount.

Further, in the above description, the weight (weight) of alcoholic beverages is measured (measured), but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the method of measuring (measuring) the amount of alcoholic beverages bought and sold is not limited to the method using a scale. For example, the flow rate of alcoholic beverages may be measured (measured). That is, the POS register 3 replaces the measuring unit 109 with various flow units (for example, a volumetric flow meter, a vortex flow meter, a colioli flow meter, an electromagnetic flow meter, a differential pressure flow meter, a turbine flow meter, and a thermal mass flow meter). A meter, an ultrasonic flow meter, etc.) may be provided. Further, the flow rate unit (flow meter) may be a separate body.

Further, the printing unit 110 may be able to issue a label. A printing device (label printer) capable of issuing a label may be connected to the POS register 3 separately from the printing unit 110.

(Second embodiment)
The POS register 3 of the first embodiment executes the product registration process and the accounting process (settlement process), but the device that executes the product registration process and the device that executes the accounting process may be separate. .. Hereinafter, as a second embodiment, the POS system 2 including a registration device 20 (not shown) for executing a product registration process (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a registration process) and a settlement device 30 for executing a settlement process. explain.

After the registration process of the registration device 20, it is necessary to perform the settlement process in the settlement device 30. However, when the POS system 2 includes a plurality of settlement devices 30, it is necessary to specify (designate) one settlement device 30 that actually executes the settlement process. There are several methods for designating the checkout device 30. For example, the store clerk designates it with the registration device 20, or the registration device 20 issues an accounting ticket to be handed to the customer, and the store clerk hands it over. It suffices to specify the settlement device 30 for executing the settlement process from among the plurality of settlement devices 30 by having the customer read the completed accounting ticket by one settlement device 30.

When the registration device 20 declares the tax exemption of the liquor tax amount (when the tax exemption designation key is operated), the information to the effect that the declaration is made is recognized by the settlement device 30. For example, when the clerk designates the settlement device 30 in the registration device 20, the information to the effect that the above declaration is made is also transmitted to the settlement device 30 (directly transmitted to the settlement device 30) together with the registration information of the product (alcoholic beverage) and the like. , Sent to the checkout device 30 via the store controller). In addition, when using an accounting ticket, the customer may be handed the accounting ticket printed by coding the information including the information to the effect that the above declaration has been made.

When the settlement device 30 recognizes that the registration device 20 has declared the liquor tax exemption (when the information that the liquor tax exemption has been declared is acquired), the settlement device 30 has a display unit. In, the liquor tax amount may be displayed in a display mode different from the normal mode. Specifically, when the liquor tax amount is exempted, it may be displayed that the liquor tax amount is exempted together with the liquor tax amount, or "liquor tax amount of 0 yen" may be displayed. In addition, the display on the display unit of the settlement device 30 may be performed according to the language selected by the registration device 20. For example, the selection result by the language selection key in the registration device 20 can be displayed on the display unit of the settlement device 30 by making it recognized on the settlement device 30 side as well as the information indicating that the tax exemption has been declared. , The language selected by the language selection key (foreign language) may be used.
<Modification example>
Hereinafter, a modified example of the second embodiment will be described.

[First modification]
In the above embodiment, as an embodiment for designating the settlement device 30 for executing the settlement process from among the plurality of settlement devices 30, the clerk designates the settlement device 30 for executing the settlement process with the registration device 20. (First designated mode) and a mode in which the registration device 20 issues an accounting ticket handed to the customer, and the customer reads the accounting ticket handed by the clerk to one payment device 30 (second designated mode). Designation mode). However, the mode for designating the settlement device 30 is not limited to the above mode. For example, the settlement device 30 may be designated as in the third designated mode to the seventh designated mode below.

As the third designation mode, it is an operation for declaring the completion of the product registration according to the operation performed on the send button displayed on the display unit 205 for the clerk in response to the completion of the product registration. The registration device 20 recognizes the settlement device 30 capable of performing settlement processing (for example, no failure has occurred and is not in use) by inquiring the settlement device 30 for the status, and the registration device 20 is not in use. One settlement device 30 is determined from among the settlement devices 30 according to a predetermined rule. Then, the registration device 20 transmits the settlement information to the determined settlement device 30 to instruct the execution of the settlement process.

As a fourth designation mode, the priority of the settlement process is set in advance for the settlement device 30. Then, upon completion of product registration, the display unit 205 for clerk (not shown) is displayed so that the operation of the transmission button instructing the transmission of the settlement information to the settlement device 30 becomes effective. In response to the operation of the send button, the registration device 20 confirms whether or not the settlement device 30 can perform the settlement processing in the order according to the set priority, and the settlement processing is possible. If is not confirmed, the priority is to confirm the next checkout device 30. Then, the registration device 20 transmits the settlement information to the settlement device 30 which is first confirmed to be capable of the settlement process, and instructs the execution of the settlement process.

The priority of the settlement device 30 according to the predetermined rule in the third designated embodiment or the settlement device 30 in the fourth designated embodiment is determined based on, for example, the number assigned to the settlement device 30. It's okay. Alternatively, it may be determined based on the distance from the registration device 20 to the checkout device 30. Alternatively, it may be determined based on the relationship between the breakdown of the denomination of change predicted based on the total amount and the number of coins stored in the change machine of the settlement device 30 for each denomination.

As a fifth designation mode, the registration device 20 transmits the settlement information to all the settlement devices 30. When the settlement device 30 that has received the settlement information becomes in a state where the settlement process can be executed by using the settlement information included in the settlement information received by itself, the settlement process execution notification that the self notifies that the settlement process is executed. Is transmitted to the registration device 20 of the transmission source of the settlement information.
The registration device 20 displays (settlement process execution display) indicating the settlement device 30 to which the settlement process execution notification is transmitted in response to the receipt of the settlement process execution notification. The clerk may look at the settlement process execution display and tell the customer which settlement device 30 executes the settlement process.
At this time, along with the settlement process execution display, the sign pole 311 of the settlement device 30 that has transmitted the settlement process execution notification is turned on in a predetermined pattern, or the settlement device 30 outputs a predetermined notification sound, so that the self can do it. It may be notified that the settlement process is to be executed.

According to the designation of the settlement device 30 according to the third to fifth designation modes described above, it is not necessary to determine which settlement device 30 should execute the settlement process.

As a sixth designation mode, a shopping cart containing a product whose product has been registered by the registration device 20 is placed in one of the basket storage areas set up by the clerk for each checkout device 30. To move.
The basket storage area is equipped with a sensor (weight sensor, optical sensor, etc.) for detecting the placed shopping cart. When it is determined by the sensor that the shopping cart is placed in the basket storage area, the corresponding settlement device 30 makes a request, acquires the corresponding settlement information from the registration device 20, and executes the settlement process. ..
Also in this case, the settlement device 30 that is to execute the settlement process notifies itself that the settlement process is to be executed by lighting the barber's pole 311 (not shown), outputting a notification sound, or the like. good.
In addition, instead of the sensor for detecting the placed shopping cart, a motion sensor or an image pickup device may be provided, for example, corresponding to a store clerk. Then, the registration device 20 determines the movement of the clerk based on the detection output of the motion sensor, the image obtained by imaging with the image pickup device, and the like, and the clerk determines each of the settlement devices 30 based on the determined result. It is determined in which of the basket storage areas installed in response to the above, the shopping cart was installed. Then, the settlement device 30 corresponding to the determined basket storage place may be determined as the settlement device 30 to execute the settlement process.

As a seventh designation mode, the registration device 20 transmits the settlement instruction information including the settlement information and the transfer order information in which the transfer order between the plurality of settlement devices 30 is set to a certain settlement device 30. ..
The transfer order information may specify the transfer order cyclically between the settlement devices 30.
If the settlement device 30 that has received the settlement instruction information can execute the settlement process, the settlement device 30 transmits a settlement process execution notification to the registration device 20 that is the sender of the settlement instruction information, and the received settlement instruction information. The settlement process is executed using the settlement information contained in.
On the other hand, when the settlement device 30 that has received the settlement instruction information cannot execute the settlement process, the settlement device 30 has a transfer order of the next settlement device 30 according to the transfer order information included in the received settlement instruction information. Transfer the received settlement instruction information. In this way, the procedure corresponding to the designation of the settlement device 30 to execute the settlement process is also realized by sequentially transferring the settlement instruction information between the settlement devices 30.

In each of the above-mentioned designated modes, in the process relating to the determination of the settlement device 30 for executing the settlement process, a predetermined device other than the registration device 20 and the settlement device 30, such as the management device 10, registers the product by the registration device 20. It may be executed according to the end of the process. As the predetermined device other than the registration device 20 and the checkout device 30, for example, a device provided for monitoring the state of the checkout device 30 may be used.
