Skip interval area 37, similarly, the person in charge No. Responsible person No. 1 who stores the number of times skips are allowed. It is provided with a skip interval area 38 and a serial number skip interval area 39 that similarly stores the number of times skips are allowed to be stored.

Next, program control according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. first,
It is determined whether registration mode is set in SP1. This mode can usually be set by adjusting the key position to the specified mode.

Next, at SP2, the system waits for a key input. SP2
If there is a key input operation, whether the product code was input (SP3) or the closing key was operated (SP3).
SP4). If the product code has been input, check whether the tightening flag in the tightening flag area 24, which is set to "1" when the tightening key is operated next in SP5, is "1" or not. to decide. Then, if the closing flag is "1", the processing shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 described later is performed, and if the closing flag is "0", the normal registration processing based on the input product code is performed, and the registration is completed. Store the same content in the electronic journal (SP6)
. Also, if the tightening key is operated, the tightening process is performed,
Print the registration data on the receipt and issue it. Then, the closing flag in the closing flag area 24 is set to 1 and the process ends.

[0015] If the closing flag is 1 in SP5, that is, the closing key was operated immediately before, it is determined that the input of this product code is the start of a new customer transaction, and the preset date is , cash register no. , and responsible person no. and the date stored in the table area 26,
Cash register no. , and responsible person no. (SP11, SP12 and SP13)
(Specific data matching determination means).

If it is determined in SP11 that the dates are not the same, the date stored in the date management table 33 is updated to a new date, and the updated date is stored in the electronic journal 23. If it is determined in SP11 that the dates are the same, then in SP14 it is determined whether the number of skips A matches the skip interval value A' set in the date skip interval area 36 of the skip interval area 27. to decide. If they do not match, the skip value A stored in the date skip counter 28 of the counter area 25 is incremented by 1. If they match, it is determined that the date has been skipped a predetermined number of times, and A of the date skip counter 28 is cleared to "0" and the date is stored in the electronic journal 23.

Next, at SP12, the same register number. It is determined whether or not the register number is the same. If not, register no. The cashier No. stored in the management table 34. to the new cash register number. and the updated register number. is stored in the electronic journal 23. Also, in SP12, the same cash register number. If it is determined that this is the case, then the number of skips B in SP15 is set to the register number in the skip interval area 27.
Skip interval value B set in skip interval area 37
' to determine if it matches. If they do not match, check the register number of the counter area 25. The skip value B stored in the skip counter 29 is incremented by 1. Also, if they match, it is determined that the skip has been made a predetermined number of times, and the cashier No. B of the skip counter 29 is cleared to "0" and the date is stored in the electronic journal 23.

Next, in SP13, the same person in charge No. The same responsible person No. If not, responsible person N
o. Responsible person No. stored in the management table 35. The new person in charge No. and the person responsible for the update No.
．． is stored in the electronic journal 23. Also, SP13
The same person in charge No. If it is determined that
7 responsible person no. It is determined whether the skip interval value C' matches the skip interval value C' set in the skip interval area 38. If they do not match, the person in charge of counter area 25 N
o. The skip value C stored in the skip counter 30 is incremented by 1. Also, if they match, it is determined that the skip has been made a predetermined number of times, and the responsible person No. Skip counter 29 C
is cleared to "0" and the date is stored in the electronic journal 23.

Next, at SP17, the serial number skip counter 3
It is determined whether the value D of 2 and the value D' of the serial number skip interval area 39 match. If they match, the value of the serial number counter 31 is stored in the electronic journal 23, and the value of D is set to "0". If they do not match, the value of D is increased by 1. Then, the value of the serial number counter 31 is increased by 1, the closing flag of the closing flag area 24 is set to 0, and the process ends.

According to the ECR of this embodiment configured as described above, when the first product code of a transaction is input, the set specific data such as date, register number, etc. are input. , and responsible person no. The date and register number stored in the table area 26 are read out. , and responsible person no. Compare whether they match. Since it is possible to update the specific data that does not match and store only this updated specific data in the electronic journal 23, it is possible to store a large amount of product registration data even in the electronic journal 23 whose capacity is not so large. It becomes possible.

[0021]Furthermore, even with regard to the specific data mentioned above that has not been changed for a long time and has been skipped a predetermined number of times, the specific data can be stored in the electronic journal 23 for each predetermined transaction, so that these specific data can be stored at predetermined intervals. It is also possible to check.

As explained above, since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to effectively use journal data storage means having a limited allowable capacity.
