FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of the control process related to the set product search process in S34. As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 400 first searches for a combination corresponding to the set A having the highest priority, based on the product information stored in the product information unit 431 (S41). Specifically, the control unit 400 compares the product information stored in the product information unit 4312 with the product stored in the corresponding product unit 4432 associated with the set A of the set product master 443. Then, the control unit 400 (determining means 401) determines whether or not the combination of products stored in the product information unit 4312 corresponds to the set A (S42). If it is determined to be applicable (Yes in S42), the control unit 400 stores the name of the set A in the set product unit 4313 (S43). Then, the control unit 400 stores the flag in association with the product that is stored in the product information unit 4312 and is determined to be established. Further, the control unit 400 (applicable means 402) reads the discount amount corresponding to the set A from the discount information unit 4442 and stores it in the discount information unit 4314 (S43). Then, the control unit 400 returns to S41. Then, the processes of S41 and S42 are executed again, and it is determined whether or not there is a combination corresponding to the further set A. If there is a combination corresponding to set A again, the process of S43 is executed again.

If it is determined that there is no combination corresponding to set A (No in S42), the control unit 400 is next to set A based on the product information in which the flag stored in the product information unit 431 is not stored. It is searched (S44) whether or not the combination corresponding to the set B having the highest priority (second) is established (S44). Specifically, the control unit 400 stores the product information in which the flag stored in the product information unit 4312 is not stored and the corresponding product unit 4432 associated with the set B of the set product master 443. Compare with the product. Then, the control unit 400 (determining means 401) determines whether or not the combination of products stored in the product information unit 4312 corresponds to the set B (S45). If it is determined to be applicable (Yes in S45), the control unit 400 stores the name of the set B in the set product unit 4313 (S46). Then, the control unit 400 stores the flag in association with the corresponding product stored in the product information unit 4312. Further, the control unit 400 (applying means 402) reads the discount amount applied to the set B from the discount information unit 4442 and stores it in the discount information unit 4314 (S46). Then, the control unit 400 returns to S44. Then, the processes of S44 and S45 are executed again, and it is determined again whether or not there is a combination corresponding to the set B. If there is a combination of set B again, the process of S46 is executed again.

If it is determined that there is no combination corresponding to set B (No in S45), the control unit 400 is next to set B based on the product information in which the flag stored in the product information unit 431 is not stored. It is searched (S47) whether or not the combination corresponding to the set C having the highest priority (third) is established (S47). Specifically, the control unit 400 stores the product information in which the flag stored in the product information unit 4312 is not stored and the corresponding product unit 4432 associated with the set C of the set product master 443. Compare with the product. Then, the control unit 400 (determining means 401) determines whether or not the combination of products stored in the product information unit 4312 corresponds to the set C (S48). If it is determined to be applicable (Yes in S48), the control unit 400 stores the name of the set C in the set product unit 4313 (S49). Then, the control unit 400 stores the flag in association with the corresponding product stored in the product information unit 4312. Further, the control unit 400 (applying means 402) reads the discount amount applied to the set C from the discount information unit 4442 and stores it in the discount information unit 4314 (S49). Then, the control unit 400 returns to S47. Then, the processes of S47 and S48 are executed again, and it is determined again whether or not there is a combination corresponding to the set C. If there is a combination corresponding to set C again, the process of S49 is executed again. In the embodiment, there is no set C combination product.

If it is determined that there is no combination corresponding to set C (No in S48), the control unit 400 has the highest priority based on the product information in which the flag stored in the product information unit 431 is not stored. The presence or absence of a combination corresponding to the lower set D is searched (S50). Specifically, the control unit 400 compares the product information stored in the product information unit 4312 with the product stored in the corresponding product unit 4432 associated with the set D of the set product master 443. Then, the control unit 400 (determining means 401) determines whether or not the product stored in the product information unit 4312 corresponds to the set D (S51). If it is determined to be applicable (Yes in S51), the control unit 400 stores the name of the set D in the set product unit 4313 (S52). Then, the control unit 400 stores the flag in association with the corresponding product stored in the product information unit 4312. Further, the control unit 400 (applying means 402) reads the discount amount applied to the set D from the discount information unit 4442 and stores it in the discount information unit 4314 (S52). Then, the control unit 400 returns to S50. Then, the processes of S50 and S51 are executed again, and it is determined again whether or not there is a combination corresponding to the set D. If there is a combination corresponding to set D again, the process of S52 is executed again. In the embodiment, there is no set C combination product. Further, when it is determined that there is no combination of products corresponding to set D among the plurality of ordered products (No in S51), the control unit 400 executes the processes after S34.

Returning to the description of FIG. Next, the control unit 400 (accounting means 403) executes accounting processing for the ordered product (S35). Here, among the accounting information to be accounted for, the discount amount stored in the discount information unit 4314 is subtracted from the total amount of the total amount of the goods. Then, based on the remaining amount after subtraction, the tax amount and the total tax-included amount paid by the customer including the tax amount are calculated. In the case of the embodiment, the product stored in the product information unit 4312 is the product sold by the store. That is, when a combination of set products is established, the total amount is discounted, but the corresponding set products are not sold, but the ordered individual products are sold.

Next, the control unit 400 (receipt issuing means 404) relates to the product that has been accounted for based on the accounting information, the product information stored in the product information unit 4312, and the discount information stored in the discount information unit 4314. The receipt is printed by the printing unit 54 and issued (S36).

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the receipt R issued by the process of S36 from the POS terminal. As shown in FIG. 13, the receipt R issued by the printing unit 54 is a combination of the logo R1 indicating the store name, the product information R2 indicating the product name and price of the ordered product, and the total amount R3 which is the total price of the products. Information R4, tax amount R5, total amount including tax R6 including tax amount, cash payment amount R7, etc. are printed.

The product name and quantity price are printed on the product information R2. In the case of the embodiment, two products A are 1600 yen, one product B is 700 yen, and two products C are 1000 yen. Further, the set product information R4 is printed in association with the product name R41 of the set product for which the combination is established and the discounted amount R42. In the case of the embodiment, the product names of set A and set B, the discount amount (-50 yen) for set A, and the value for set B, which are established by the combination of the products printed on the product information R2. The discount amount (-40 yen) is printed. The customer looks at R41 and R42 of the receipt R and understands that the combination of set A and set B is established based on the product ordered by the customer, resulting in a discount of -50 yen and -40 yen.

As described above, according to the embodiment, whether or not the combination of the plurality of ordered products corresponds to the set product is determined in order from the set product having the highest priority, and it is determined that the combination of the ordered products corresponds to the set product. I tried to discount from the total price of the product. Therefore, it is possible to discount from the total price of the products when they correspond to the set products without imposing a burden on the clerk.

Further, in the embodiment, a receipt R printed in association with the product name of the set product in which the combination is established and the discount amount is issued. Therefore, the customer who received the receipt can see the receipt R and confirm the fact that the discount was made, the set product that caused the discount, and the discount amount.
