Abstract

It is disclosed that by attaching a barcode including a production date / time and predetermined data related to an expiration date to a product having a shelf life or printing a barcode, according to the elapsed time period from the production date / time to the sale time and the predetermined date related to the expiration date A sales method, a sales system, a barcode, and a barcode system that use data to change product prices. Thus, when a customer selects a product whose discount rate changes according to the date and time elapsed from the production date / time, the vicious inventory associated with waste and operations due to last-in-first-out purchases of products occurs during traditional sales The problem can be improved by encouraging FIFO buying of products.
