  Note that the POS terminal 1 installed in each tenant store T also has substantially the same configuration as the POS terminal 1 installed in the main store M.

[Data structure]
Next, the department master 30, the setting file 31, and the transaction buffer 32 will be described.
The products sold at each store are classified into a plurality of departments according to the types of the products. The department master 30 includes a department file F provided for each department. Each department file F describes information related to products and the like belonging to the department.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the department master 30 is composed of department files F01 to F99 indicated by department codes D01 to D99, and among these, department files F01 to F96 indicated by department codes D01 to D96. Are set in advance for departments related to ordinary products, and department files F97 to F99 indicated by department codes D97 to D99 are preset for departments other than products (non-product A, B, C). Information related to products sold at the main store M is described in the department files F01 to F96 of normal products, and information related to products sold at each tenant store T is described in the department files F97 to F99 of the non-product department. Is described.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a data structure example of the department file F. Shown is a department file F99 having a department code “Code D99” and a department name “Non-product C”, and items such as “Code P101”, “Product A1”, and “¥ 100” are sold at the tenant store T. A plurality of records including a PLU code, a name, a selling price, and the like are described. The other department files F1 to F98 have the same data structure as that shown in FIG.

  The setting file 31 is a file that stores the value discount availability and the point grantability for goods and services belonging to the non-commodity department, and has a data structure as shown in FIG. 5, for example. As shown in the figure, the setting file 31 includes, for each of the department codes D97 to 99 indicating the non-commodity department, an area describing a flag F1 indicating whether or not value discount can be performed and a flag F2 indicating whether or not points can be granted. An area to be described is provided. Each flag F1, F2 is set to either “0” indicating impossibility or “1” indicating admissibility.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a data structure example of the transaction buffer 32. The transaction buffer 32 is composed of a plurality of records for describing information relating to products or the like that the customer intends to purchase. Each record is identified from the department master 30 by the PLU code input by the operation of the barcode scanner 22 or the store clerk side display 24 such as “code P012”, “product A6”, “¥ 2000”, and this PLU code. The name of the product, etc., and the selling price are described.

  It should be noted that which of the departments indicated by the department codes D01 to D99 is to be set as a non-commodity department is, for example, department setting executed by the POS terminal 1 or the central server 3 (master side) installed in the main store M. Set by The data included in each department file F01 to F99 is also set by the department setting.

[Setting process]
Next, a setting process for setting the flags F1 and F2 of the setting file 31 will be described. This process is executed by the POS terminal 1 installed in the main store M.
When the setting of the setting file 31 is instructed by the operation of the keyboard 23 of the POS terminal 1 installed in the main store M or the contact operation to the store clerk side display 24, the CPU 10 of the POS terminal 1 is stored in the memory 11. A program for setting processing is executed and operates according to the flowchart of FIG.

  In this process, the CPU 10 first causes the display controller 15 to control the clerk-side display 24 to display a setting screen 40 as shown in FIG. 8 (step S101). The setting screen 40 includes a department code input area 41 for departments other than products, a department name display area 42, target buttons 43 and 44, non-target buttons 45 and 46, an end button 47, and the like.

  The target button 43 and the non-target button 45 are buttons for selecting whether or not the value discount can be performed on the product belonging to the non-product department, and the target button 44 and the non-target button 46 are for the product etc. belonging to the non-product department. It is a button for setting whether or not points can be given. The end button 47 is a button for instructing the end of the setting process.

  After displaying such a setting screen 40 on the clerk-side display 24, the CPU 10 accepts the input of the department code of the non-product department to the input area 41 (step S102) and waits for the completion of the input (step S103). No). At this time, when the operator operates the keyboard 23 to input a department code of a department other than the product (Yes in step S103), the CPU 10 identifies the department file F corresponding to the department code from the department master 30, and the department file The department name described in F is displayed in the display area 42.

  After the department code is input to the input area 41, the CPU 10 receives an operation on the setting screen 40, executes a process corresponding to the operation (step S104), and waits for an end instruction (No in step S105). At this time, the operator can operate the buttons 43 to 47 by a touch operation on the setting screen 40. When either the target button 43 or the non-target button 45 is operated, the CPU 10 displays the operated one in a lighter color than the other, for example, selects the operated one. To migrate. Similar processing is performed for the target button 43 and the non-target button 46.

  When the end button 47 is eventually operated (Yes in step S105), the CPU 10 uses the buttons 43 to 46 to the flags F1 and F2 described in the setting file 31 in association with the department code input in the input area 41. The setting result shown is reflected (step S106). That is, if the target button 43 is selected, the flag F1 is set to “1”. If the non-target button 45 is selected, the flag F1 is set to “0”, and the target button 44 is selected. For example, the flag F2 is set to “1”, and if the non-target button 46 is selected, the flag F2 is set to “0”. After reflecting the setting result in this way, the CPU 10 ends the setting process.

[Product sales processing]
Next, the product sales process executed by the POS terminal 1 installed in the main store M when selling products will be described.
When the PLU key provided on the keyboard 23 is operated to instruct the start of the product sales process, the CPU 10 executes the product sales process program stored in the memory 11 and operates according to the flowchart of FIG. .

  In this process, first, the CPU 10 waits for input from these devices (No in step S202) while receiving input from each device such as the barcode scanner 22, the keyboard 23, and the store clerk side display 24 (step S201).

  When any input is made from any device (Yes in step S202), the CPU 10 determines whether the input is an input of a PLU code such as a product purchased by the customer (step S203). The PLU code of a product or the like is input by, for example, scanning a barcode by the barcode scanner 22 or operating a preset key displayed on the store clerk side display 24. This preset key is a screen part to which products etc. are assigned in advance, and when the operator specifies a product etc. to be purchased by the customer by touching this preset key, the PLU code assigned to that key is input The

  If the input accepted in step S201 is a PLU code input (Yes in step S203), the CPU 10 searches the department master 30 for the PLU code, and the name and selling price associated with the found PLU code, and The department code and the like of the department file F in which the PLU code is described are read out and written in the transaction buffer 32 as one record (step S204). Then, it returns to step S201 and waits for the next input.

  On the other hand, when the input received in step S201 is not a product code input (No in step S203), the CPU 10 determines whether the input is a discount instruction or a discount instruction (step S205). For example, the above discount key or discount key provided on the keyboard 23 is operated, and the discount price or discount rate is specified by designating the discount target from among the products whose PLU code is described in the transaction buffer 32. This is done by entering

  When the input received in step S201 is such a discount instruction or discount instruction (Yes in step S205), the CPU 10 executes a value discount process (step S206).

In the value discount process, the CPU 10 operates according to the flowchart of FIG.
That is, first, the CPU 10 reads a record such as a commodity for discounting the value from the transaction buffer 32, and refers to a department code included in the record (step S301). Then, the CPU 10 determines whether the department indicated by the referenced department code is a non-commodity department (step S302).

  If the referenced department code is not one of the codes D97 to D99, the CPU 10 determines that the department is not a non-commodity department (No in step S302). In this case, the CPU 10 discounts the selling price included in the record of the value discounted product or the like in the transaction buffer 32 with the discount amount or the discount rate input together with the value discount instruction (step S303). Ends the value discount process.

  On the other hand, if the department code referred to in step S301 is any one of codes D97 to D99, the CPU 10 determines that the department indicated by the department code is a non-commodity department (Yes in step S302). In this case, the CPU 10 refers to the setting file 31 and determines whether the value of the flag F1 provided for the department code is “0” or “1” (step S304). If the value of the flag F1 is “1” (“F1 = 1” in step S304), the CPU 10 determines the selling price included in the record of the product or the like that is the target of the value discount in the transaction buffer 32. The value discount is performed with the discount amount or the discount rate input together with the value discount instruction (step S303), and the value discount process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the value of the flag F1 is “0” (“F1 = 0” in step S304), the CPU 10 displays an error message indicating that the product designated as the value discount target cannot be discounted. The value discount is displayed on the side display 24 (step S305), and the value discount process is terminated without performing the price discount.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. After executing the flow value discount process as described above, the CPU 10 returns to step S201 and waits for the next input.

  If the input received in step S201 is not a PLU code, discount instruction, or discount instruction input (No in step S205), the CPU 10 determines whether the input is a subtotal instruction input (step S207). The subtotal instruction is input by pressing a subtotal key provided on the keyboard 23.

  If the input is not a subtotal instruction (No in step S207), the CPU 10 executes various processes corresponding to the input (step S208). Then, it returns to step S201 and waits for the next input.

  On the other hand, when the input received in step S201 is a subtotal instruction (Yes in step S207), the CPU 10 sums the selling prices included in each record of the transaction buffer 32, calculates the total selling price (subtotal), and the salesclerk It is displayed on the side display 24 and the customer side display 25 (step S209).

  Thereafter, the CPU 10 shifts to a state of accepting designation of a payment method for the price (step S210) and waits for completion of the designation (No in step S211). The payment method is designated from cash, credit card, electronic money, etc. by operating the keyboard 23 and the store clerk display 24.

  When any one of the payment methods is designated (Yes in step S211), the CPU 10 executes a closing process by the designated payment method (step S212). In this tightening process, the CPU 10 accepts an input of the deposit amount from the customer if cash is specified as the payment method, and the deposit amount entered by operating the keyboard 23 and the total selling price calculated in step S209. The difference is calculated, and the calculated difference is displayed on the clerk side display 24 and the customer side display 25 as a change amount. If a credit card or electronic money is selected as the payment method, the customer's credit card or electronic money medium is read using a card R / W 26 or an external contactless R / W, etc. Settlement by credit card or electronic money.

After executing such tightening processing, the CPU 10 executes point processing (step S213).
In this point processing, the CPU 10 operates according to the flowchart of FIG.
That is, first, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a customer point card is inserted in the card R / W 26 (step S401). At this time, if no point card is inserted in the card R / W 26 (No in step S401), the CPU 10 ends the point process.

  On the other hand, if a point card is inserted in the card R / W 26 (Yes in step S401), the CPU 10 generates a variable S indicating the amount of money to be awarded in the memory 11 and resets the value to 0 ( Step S402).

  After generating the variable S, the CPU 10 reads one record in the transaction buffer 32 and refers to the department code (step S403). Then, the CPU 10 determines whether the department indicated by the referenced department code is a non-commodity department (step S404).

  If the referenced department code is not one of the codes D97 to D99, the CPU 10 determines that the product or the like does not belong to a non-product department (No in step S404). In this case, the CPU 10 adds the selling price included in the record read in step S403 to the variable S (step S405).

  On the other hand, if the department code referred to in step S403 is any one of codes D97 to D99, the CPU 10 determines that the department indicated by the department code is a non-product department (Yes in step S404). In this case, the CPU 10 refers to the setting file 31 and determines whether the value of the flag F2 provided for the department code is “0” or “1” (step S406). If the value of the flag F2 is “1” (“F2 = 1” in step S406), the CPU 10 adds the selling price included in the record read in step S403 to the variable S (step S405).

  On the other hand, if the value of the flag F2 is “0” (“F2 = 0” in step S406), the CPU 10 does not add the selling price included in the record read in step S403 to the variable S.

  After step S405 or when it is determined in step S406 that the value of the flag F2 is “0”, the CPU 10 has finished reading all records in which data in the transaction buffer 32 is written in the point processing. Is determined (step S407). If all records to which data has been written have not yet been read (No in step S407), the CPU 10 returns to step S403, reads one unread record, and executes the processes in steps S404 to S406.

  Eventually, when all the records in which the data has been written are read (Yes in step S407), the CPU 10 should multiply the value of the variable S, which is the target amount of point grant, by the point grant rate and give it to the customer in this transaction. Points are calculated (step S408). In addition, the said point grant rate may be memorize | stored previously, for example in the memory 11, and may be determined dynamically according to object amount of money.

  After calculating the points in this manner, the CPU 10 causes the card R / W controller 17 to drive the card R / W 26 and records the calculated points on the point card inserted into the card R / W 26 (step S409). . At this time, if a point has already been recorded on the point card, a value obtained by adding the point calculated in step S408 to the point is recorded on the point card. This is the end of the point process.

  Using the points recorded on the point card in this way, the customer can receive a privilege such as a discount on the price at the next product purchase. Various methods can be adopted for the method of providing the privilege. For example, in step S201, an instruction to provide the privilege is received by operating the keyboard 23. If this instruction is given, a point card is inserted into the card R / W 26. A program for merchandise sales processing may be configured so that the total price of the transaction is discounted according to the points read in step S208.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. After executing the point process of the flow as described above, the CPU 10 causes the printer controller 18 to drive the receipt printer 27 to issue a receipt for this transaction (step S214). If the value discount processing is executed in step S206, the amount, target, etc. of the value discount are printed on this receipt. Regarding the information printed in this way, there is no difference between the case where the value discount target is a product belonging to the non-product department and the case where it is a normal product.

  Further, the data described in each record of the transaction buffer 32 is stored in the sales file as the transaction history of the transaction (step S215), and the merchandise sales process is terminated.

  The data related to products belonging to the non-product department included in the transaction history is stored in the sales file of the tenant store T that handles those products, and the data related to normal products included in the transaction history is stored in the sales file of the main store M. Saved in.

  The POS terminal 1 has a report function for totaling, for example, daily product sales based on the transaction history stored in the sales file as described above. In the processing by this report function, each POS terminal 1 refers to the data stored in the sales file of the store where it is installed, and totals the product sales.

  That is, sales of products and the like belonging to the non-product department are recorded as product sales of the tenant store T without being recorded in the product sales of the main store M even if the store that sold them is the main store M.

  As described above, the POS terminal 1 in the present embodiment causes the operator to set whether or not value discount execution is possible for the department code of the non-commodity department, and stores the setting result in the setting file 31. Then, at the time of product sales processing, if a value discount for a product belonging to a non-product department is instructed, and the setting result for the department code of the department to which the product etc. stored in the setting file 31 indicates that value discount can be executed For example, the product or the like is sold at a selling price obtained by discounting the selling price of the product or the like predetermined in the department master 30. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily change whether or not value discounts can be performed on products belonging to the non-commodity department without any effort or cost.

  Further, if value discount is instructed for a product belonging to a non-product department, and the setting result for the department code of the department to which the product belongs stored in the setting file 31 indicates that value discount cannot be executed, the value discount is executed. An error indicating that it is not possible is notified. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the operator recognize that value discounts for products and the like belonging to the non-product department are prohibited.

  Further, the POS terminal 1 according to the present embodiment causes the operator to set whether or not to grant points for the department code of the non-commodity department, and stores the setting result in the setting file 31. At the time of product sales processing, when the setting result stored in the setting file 31 for the department code of the department to which the processed product belongs belongs indicates that points can be given, based on the selling price of the sales processed product etc. Calculate grant points. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily change whether or not points can be given to a product or the like belonging to a non-product department without any effort or cost.

  In addition, since whether or not value discounts and points can be given to products belonging to the non-product department is changed by a touch operation on the buttons 43 to 46 displayed on the setting screen 40, the operation required for the change is very simple. is there.

[Modification]
The configuration disclosed in the above embodiment can be variously modified. Specific examples of modifications are as follows.
