Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a point-of-sale (POS) device, and more particularly to a collective sale (a discount sale method in which a plurality of products are sold at a fixed price, also referred to as a bundle mix). The present invention relates to a sales registration method and apparatus in which the total price at the time of sale does not always change regardless of the input order of product data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various POS devices that realize this kind of sales registration method are known. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-111298 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1) discloses a method of storing collective sale information in a memory of a POS terminal device and manually declaring a collective sale, the number of completed collective sale, and the total amount of collective sale. A "bundled mix-match manual control system" is disclosed in which a correct sales price, total sales, and the like are obtained by inputting.
In the prior art 1, when performing a collective sale, a collective sale declaration is made manually from the keyboard of the POS terminal. Next, the number of pieces sold together is entered manually, then the total sum of the quantity sold is entered and registered using the same manual, and then the product is registered. The product registered from the POS terminal will be the target product until the declared number of bundled sales is reached, but the product exceeding the number of bundled sales will automatically be excluded from the bulk selling target,
It becomes a normal product. Since the collective sale declaration is before product registration, even when the product to be collectively sold spans a plurality of departments, the discount amount is broken evenly, so that the sales are not biased for each department.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-180363 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2) discloses an automatic accounting process for a bundled product in which a predetermined amount is purchased in a lump sum and the price is reduced. A "commodity sales method" that allows commodities to be handled in the same manner as non-bundled commodities is disclosed. In Prior Art 2,
The bundle file includes a code (JAS code) and a relative number given thereto, and the bundle price file includes a relative number, a quantity, and a price. When the customer brings a basket with a mixture of bundled / non-bundled goods to the cash register, the goods are read by a JAN code by a scanner, and the bundle file is accessed via a PLU control unit or the like, and a check is performed. As a result, for the bundled product, the relative number in the JAN code column is read, and the bundle price file is accessed with that number to read the quantity and price. By automatically performing the accounting process on the bundled product, the bundled product can be treated in the same manner as the non-bundled product.

However, in the conventional POS device as disclosed in the prior arts 1 and 2,
If the number of items to be bundled is not an integral multiple of the set number of bundled products when the products with different prices are sold together, the total price may differ depending on the price of the fractionalized product.

[0005]

The conventional POS described above
The device has the following problems. That is, when the number of items to be bundled does not become an integral multiple of the set number at which the bundled sale is established, the total sales amount differs. The reason is that the order of input of the product data determines the conclusion of the bulk sale and executes the discount, so when there is an odd product where the bulk sale is not established,
This is because the difference in the price of this product results in a difference in the total amount.

[0006] Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is to provide a sales registration method and apparatus in which the total price does not always change regardless of the input order of the product data in the collective sale.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A sales registration method according to the present invention comprises:
The method includes the steps of calculating a total discount amount by assembling a sale in descending order of price, and calculating the total sales amount based on the discount calculation result.

Further, in the sales registration apparatus of the present invention, for the items to be bundled for sale in one transaction, a group sale is established in descending order of price, a means for calculating a total discount, and a result of the discount calculation result. Means for calculating the total sales amount.

[0009]

[Operation] If the input product is a product to be originally sold, the product information (product name, price) is recorded, and at the time of settlement of one transaction, a collective sale discount is calculated in ascending order of the product price. Based on the calculation result, the total sales amount is calculated.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a POS device 10 for realizing a POS sales registration method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Is a merchandise input unit 11 for inputting merchandise data, a sales processing unit 12 for calculating sales in order of input merchandise, a collective sale discount processing unit 13 for calculating a collective sale discount amount, and an intermediate processing result and a total amount. An output unit 14 for outputting, a product information file 15 for storing product information such as a product name, a price, and a target / non-target for collective selling, and a collective sale information file 16 for storing collective discount setting amount information. Is done.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the product information file 15, and FIG. 3 shows an example of the collective sale information file 16.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the PO shown in FIG.
The operation of the S device will be described. First, merchandise data is randomly input from the merchandise data input unit 11 without being aware of collective sale target / non-target products and their prices (step S1). Next, the sales processing unit 12 performs a sales process by referring to the product price from the product information file 15 (step S2). Next, the sales processing unit 12 confirms the collective selling target / non-target with reference to the product information file 15 (step S3), and when the number of target products reaches the number of bundled sales, the collective selling discount processing unit. 13 performs discounting with reference to the collective sale information file 16 (step S4). Then, the output unit 14 outputs the sales result of one product (step S5). If there is a next product (YES in step S6), the process returns to step S1 and repeats the above-described processing (steps S1 to S5).

When there is no next product (N in step S6)
O), the bundled sale discount processing unit 13 checks whether there is any odd portion of the bundled sale target product that does not reach the established set number (step S7), and if there is any odd portion (Y in step S7).
ES), and calculate the difference from the result of the calculation of the collective sale in the order of higher price of the collective sale target item (step S8). Finally, the output unit 14 calculates and outputs the total sales amount (step S9).

[0015]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. It is assumed that there are three types of products, a product A with a price of 300 yen, a product B with a price of 330 yen, and a product C with a price of 350 yen. Then, it is assumed that a collective sale in which three pieces are sold together for 800 yen is set. In such a situation, it is assumed that the customer purchases two products A, two products B, and one product C, for a total of five products. Then, the operator selects the products A, B, B,
Assume that product data is input in the order of A and C.

At the place where the products are processed to A, B, and B, a collective sale is established, and a discount of 160 yen is made so that the total amount of these three items becomes 800 yen. Next, the difference between the total price of 1,400 yen when the product sales processing of the products A and C is performed and the collective sale is established in descending order of the product price and 1,450 yen when the total price is calculated as it is, That is,
A discount of 50 yen is made.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, collective selling is established in the order of the prices of the collective selling products in one transaction in descending order of the price, the total discount amount is calculated, and the total sales amount is output. Therefore, there is an effect that the total amount of sales can always be kept constant even when the number of products to be bundled does not become an integral multiple of the set number of cases where bundled sales are established.
