Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a product sales data processing device, a product sales data processing method, and a program. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, there has been a so-called tax exemption system that exempts businesses operating export goods sales outlets (duty-free shops) from paying consumption tax on goods when they sell those goods to non-residents, such as foreign tourists.
[0003] The procedures for foreign travelers to use such a tax-free system were cumbersome, including the presentation of passports and the filling out of prepared forms.
[0004] Incidentally, while the format of documents was previously determined by law, from now on, any document that contains the matters required by law will suffice. In addition, if a copy of the receipt (a detailed statement containing all or part of the matters to be contained) given to the purchaser is attached to the document and a seal is placed between the receipt and the document, it will be possible to omit the inscription of the matters contained in the receipt on the document. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a product sales data processing device, a product sales data processing method, and a program capable of executing product sales registration processing in response to the revision of the tax exemption system. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] A product sales data processing device of an embodiment includes a product identification information input means for inputting product identification information that identifies a product, a unit price acquisition means for acquiring a unit price based on the product identification information input by the product identification information input means, a quantity input means for inputting a quantity corresponding to the product identification information, a tax-free acceptance means for accepting that the transaction is tax-free, a passport information input means for inputting passport information output from a device that outputs passport information, a calculation means for calculating a tax-free amount based on the unit price and the quantity corresponding to the product that is tax-free in the tax-free transaction, if the product identified by the product identification information is eligible for tax-free exemption, and a storage means for storing the tax-free amount and the passport information in a storage unit in association with each other when the tax-free amount meets the tax-free standard amount.

[0008] In this embodiment, a POS (Point Of Sales) system used in export goods sales outlets (duty-free shops) that sell goods for everyday use to non-residents such as foreign tourists in a certain way will be described. This embodiment is an example in which the product sales data processing device is applied to a POS terminal installed in a duty-free shop.
[0009] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a POS system 1 according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the POS system 1 includes a plurality of POS terminals 2 (two in the figure) and a store server 4, which is an information processing device that connects the POS terminals 2 via a network 3 such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and centrally manages them.
[0010] The store server 4 is in charge of controlling the entire POS system 1. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the store server 4. The store server 4 includes a control unit 41 having a computer configuration including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The control unit 41 is connected to a communication I / F (Interface) 43 and an I / O device control unit 44 via a bus 42. The store server 4 communicates online with a plurality of POS terminals 2 via the communication I / F 43 and the network 3 (see FIG. 1). The control unit 41 is also connected to a keyboard 45, a display 46, a printer 47, and a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 48 via the bus 42 and the I / O device control unit 44. The HDD 48 stores various control programs for operating the CPU of the control unit 41, as well as a product master file F1, a tax-free category file F2, and a tax-free setting value file F3.
[0011] The program executed by the store server 4 of this embodiment is a file in an installable or executable format, and may be provided by recording it on a computer-readable recording medium. Such a recording medium may be a CD-ROM, a flexible disk (FD), a CD-R, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), etc.
[0012] Furthermore, the program executed by the store server 4 of the present embodiment may be configured to be stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and provided by being downloaded via the network. Also, the program executed by the store server 4 of the present embodiment may be configured to be provided or distributed via a network such as the Internet.
[0013] Next, the product master file F1 and the product classification (classification) set in the product master file F1 will be described. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the data configuration of the product master file F1. As shown in Fig. 3, in the product master file F1, product information such as the product name, product price (unit price), classification code (classification 1 code, classification 2 code), tax-free classification code, and dangerous goods classification code is set in association with the product code (product identification information) of each product to be registered for sale. The dangerous goods classification code is assigned to products that require careful handling, such as sprays that are prohibited from being carried on aircraft.
[0014] Products are classified according to a number of classification codes, and these classifications are structured hierarchically.
[0015] That is, as shown in Figure 3, products are divided into multiple categories based on category 1 (higher category), which is a broad category. Each category 1 is further divided into more detailed categories (lower category), which are finer categories. That is, the higher category 1 is divided into multiple categories based on category 2, which is lower than category 1, and includes at least one lower category 2.
[0016] In terms of being hierarchically structured, the product code given to each product can be considered as a classification lower than classification 2. The product code can be considered as the most detailed classification, i.e., the lowest classification.
[0017] Next, the tax-free category file F2 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the data structure of the tax-free category file F2. As shown in FIG. 4, tax-free category names are set in the tax-free category file F2 in association with tax-free category codes. The tax-free category names are "consumables," "general goods," and "not subject to tax exemption." "Consumables" are tax-free goods that are exempt from tax on goods sold to non-residents such as foreign tourists, and include goods such as food, beverages, medicines, and cosmetics. "General goods" are also tax-free goods, and are goods used in everyday life other than consumables.
[0018] Next, the tax-exempt setting value file F3 will be described. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the data configuration of the tax-exempt setting value file F3. As shown in Fig. 5, a setting value is set in the tax-exempt setting value file F3 in association with a tax-exempt category code. The setting value is a guide for registering sales as tax-exempt in each category. In the example shown in Fig. 5, the setting value for consumables with tax-exempt category code "01" is 5,000 yen to 500,000 yen. Also, the setting value for general goods (goods used in everyday life other than consumables) with tax-exempt category code "02" is an amount exceeding 10,000 yen.
[0019] The control unit 41 of the store server 4 according to this embodiment distributes the product master file F1, the tax exemption category file F2, and the tax exemption setting value file F3 to the POS terminal 2 at a predetermined timing according to a control program.
[0020] Next, the POS terminal 2 will be described. The POS terminal 2 is assigned a unique register number and is placed at the checkout location. The POS terminal 2 is a terminal that allows a cashier to carry out sales registration processing.
[0021] Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the POS terminal 2. As shown in Fig. 6, the POS terminal 2 is connected to a keyboard 21, a display 22 which is a liquid crystal display device, a printer 23, a card reader / writer 24, a code scanner 25 which optically reads bar codes, two-dimensional codes, etc. attached to products, an HDD 26 which is a storage device, etc.
[0022] The keyboard 21 has an external structure in which various keys are arranged in blocks. The various keys are, for example, quantity keys for inputting product codes and amounts, a subtotal key for declaring the calculation of the total sales amount, a deposit / cash total key for declaring the closing of sales by cash, a PLU key for specifying various products, a confirmation key for confirming the quantity input by the quantity keys, a clear key, etc. The keyboard 21 also has a tax-free declaration key K for declaring a tax-free transaction during the sales registration process.
[0023] 6, the POS terminal 2 has a microcomputer 30. The microcomputer 30 is configured by connecting a CPU 31 that executes various arithmetic processes and controls each unit to a ROM 32 that stores fixed data in a fixed manner and a RAM 33 that stores variable data in a freely rewritable manner and is used as a work area, via a bus line 34. The microcomputer 30 constitutes an information processing unit that executes information processing.
[0024] In the RAM 33, a tax exemption amount table T for tallying up tax exemption amounts, which will be described later, is created.
[0025] In the microcomputer 30, the HDD 26 and the code scanner 25 are connected to the CPU 31 via a bus line 34. In addition, the above-mentioned keyboard 21, display 22, printer 23, card reader / writer 24, code scanner 25, and HDD 26 are all connected to the microcomputer 30 via various input / output circuits (all not shown) and the bus line 34. The operations of the keyboard 21, display 22, printer 23, card reader / writer 24, code scanner 25, and HDD 26 are controlled by the microcomputer 30.
[0026] Furthermore, the POS terminal 2 includes a communication interface 27 for performing data communication with a store server 4, which is a higher-level device, via a network 3 provided in the store. This communication interface 27 is also connected to the bus line .
[0027] Incidentally, an operating system, various computer programs, and various data files are stored in the HDD 26 of the POS terminal 2. The data files include a product master file F1, a tax-exempt category file F2, and a tax-exempt setting value file F3, which are distributed from the store server 4.
[0028] The operating system and computer programs executed by the POS terminal 2 of this embodiment are provided as files in an installable or executable format recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a flexible disk (FD), a CD-R, or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk).
[0029] The operating system and computer programs executed by the POS terminal 2 of this embodiment may be stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and provided by being downloaded via the network. The operating system and computer programs executed by the POS terminal 2 of this embodiment may be provided or distributed via a network such as the Internet.
[0030] Furthermore, the operating system and computer programs executed by the POS terminal 2 of this embodiment may be provided by being pre-installed in a ROM or the like.
[0031] The process executed by the microcomputer 30 of the POS terminal 2 (hereinafter referred to as the POS terminal 2) according to this embodiment in accordance with a computer program will be described.
[0032] Fig. 7 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the POS terminal 2. As shown in Fig. 7, the computer program executed by the POS terminal 2 according to this embodiment is a modular configuration including each unit (input means 301, sales registration means 302, tax exemption declaration means 303, judgment means 304, addition means 305, base amount judgment means 306, tax exemption means 307, printing means 308, warning display means 309, and description item input means 310) described later, and as actual hardware, the CPU 31 reads the computer program from the HDD 26 and executes it, so that the above-mentioned each unit is loaded onto the RAM 33, and the input means 301, sales registration means 302, tax exemption declaration means 303, judgment means 304, addition means 305, base amount judgment means 306, tax exemption means 307, printing means 308, warning display means 309, and description item input means 310 are generated on the RAM 33.
[0033] An input means 301 inputs a product code and a sales quantity. A sales registration means 302 executes a sales registration process to calculate a registration price of the product to be sold based on the unit price and sales quantity obtained by searching the product master file F1 according to the product code input by the input means 301.
[0034] The tax exemption declaration means 303 declares a tax exempt transaction during sales registration processing. When a tax exemption transaction is declared by the tax exemption declaration means 303, the determination means 304 determines whether or not a product for which sales registration processing was executed by the sales registration means 302 before the declaration and a product for which a product code was input after the declaration are tax exempt by referring to the tax exemption classification in the product master file F1.
[0035] When the determination means 304 determines that the product is eligible for tax exemption, the addition means 305 adds the registered amount of the product as the tax exemption amount. The standard amount determination means 306 determines whether the tax exemption amount added by the addition means 305 meets a predetermined standard amount. When the standard amount determination means 306 determines that the standard amount is met, the tax exemption means 307 performs tax exemption processing to exempt the tax on the tax exemption amount.
[0036] When the tax exemption processing is performed by the tax exemption means 307, the printing means 308 prints a document including details of the products subject to the tax exemption processing and including all or part of the information that must be written as stipulated by the laws and regulations relating to the tax exemption system.
[0037] The warning display means 309 displays a warning when the tax-free item is classified as a dangerous item.
[0038] The item entry input means 310 inputs part of the items to be entered as stipulated by the laws and regulations relating to the tax exemption system.
[0039] The POS terminal 2 according to this embodiment generally executes the following process.
[0040] The POS terminal 2 (input means 301) reads the product code attached to each product in the form of a barcode, two-dimensional code, etc., using the code scanner 25. The POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) then searches the product master file F1 according to the read product code, reads out product information corresponding to the relevant product code, and acquires the unit price of the product, etc. The POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) also executes a sales registration process to calculate the total price of the purchased products based on the unit price and number of products sold. Thereafter, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 308) performs a closing process using the deposit / cash key, etc., to generate sales data, and then executes a printing process. The POS terminal 2 also transmits the sales data to the store server 4 at a predetermined timing.
[0041] Here, Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the flow of the tax exemption process during the sales registration process, and Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the screen transition in the tax exemption process. Note that such tax exemption process is executed before the closing process by operating the deposit / cash key, etc.
[0042] As shown in Fig. 8, the POS terminal 2 (tax-free declaration means 303) judges that a tax-free transaction has been declared by pressing the tax-free declaration key K on the keyboard 21 during the sales registration process, in response to a request from a foreign tourist or the like (Yes in step S1). If it is judged that a tax-free transaction has been declared (Yes in step S1), the POS terminal 2 (item entry input means 310) switches the display screen of the display 22 from the registered product display screen A (Fig. 9(a)) to the nationality selection screen B (Fig. 9(b)) (step S2) in order to input the nationality, which is one of the items to be entered as stipulated by the laws and regulations related to the tax-free system.
[0043] It should be noted that if the tax exemption declaration key K on the keyboard 21 is pressed after the closing process is performed by operating the deposit / cash key or the like, the pressing of the tax exemption declaration key K becomes invalid.
[0044] 9(b), the nationality selection screen B displays a nationality selection button BT for selecting the nationality of a non-resident, such as a foreign tourist, who is eligible for tax exemption processing. The nationality selection button BT includes a button for selecting a nationality that is preset in advance, and a button for manually inputting a nationality other than the preset nationalities.
[0045] When the POS terminal 2 determines that a nationality has been selected from the nationality selection screen B (FIG. 9(b)) (Yes in step S3), it switches the display screen of the display device 22 to the registered product display screen C (FIG. 9(c)) (step S4) and executes the tax exemption process (step S5).
[0046] As shown in Fig. 9(c), the tax exemption indicator I is displayed on the registered product display screen C after nationality selection (after tax exemption declaration). The POS terminal 2 notifies the operator that it is a tax exemption declaration transaction by displaying the tax exemption indicator I on the registered product display screen C in this way. Note that the registered products displayed on the registered product display screen C after nationality selection (after tax exemption declaration) remain as they were before the tax exemption declaration.
[0047] Here, the tax exemption process in step S5 will be described.
[0048] First, the POS terminal 2 (determination means 304) determines which products are eligible for tax exemption by referring to the tax exemption category code in the product master file F1 for the products that have already been registered. If there are any products eligible for tax exemption, the POS terminal 2 (addition means 305) performs the process of adding the tax exemption amount for each registered product group (general goods group / consumables group) eligible for tax exemption to the tax exemption amount table T.
[0049] The tax-exempt items are handled according to the tax type as follows:
[0050] If the registered product eligible for tax exemption is tax-inclusive, the POS terminal 2 adds the registered amount excluding tax as the tax exemption amount to the tax exemption amount table T. More specifically, for a tax-inclusive product, the POS terminal 2 sets the difference between the registered amount before tax exemption and the registered amount after tax exemption as the tax exemption amount. · Unit price before tax exemption 1,080 yen - Unit price after tax exemption 1,000 yen → Tax exemption amount 80 yen
[0051] If the registered product eligible for tax exemption is a tax-exclusive product, the POS terminal 2 adds the registered amount as the tax exemption amount to the tax exemption amount table T. More specifically, in the case of a tax-exclusive product, the POS terminal 2 sets the tax exemption amount to the registered amount.
[0052] In addition, when the registered product that is subject to tax exemption is not taxed, the POS terminal 2 does not add the registered amount to the tax exemption amount table T as the tax exemption amount.
[0053] Next, the POS terminal 2 (reference amount determination means 306) determines whether the tax exemption amount in the tax exemption amount table T meets the set value (reference amount) in the tax exemption set value file F3. In the tax exemption set value file F3 of this embodiment, the set values for food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, and other consumables are 5,000 yen to 500,000 yen. Also, the set value for general goods (goods used in everyday life other than consumables) is an amount exceeding 10,000 yen.
[0054] When the POS terminal 2 determines that the tax-free amount for consumables meets the set value (5,000 yen to 500,000 yen), it performs a tax-free process to exempt the tax on the tax-free amount. Also, when the POS terminal 2 (tax-free means 307) determines that the tax-free amount for general goods (goods used in daily life other than consumables) meets the set value (amounts exceeding 10,000 yen), it performs a tax-free process to exempt the tax on the tax-free amount.
[0055] If the tax exemption amount for the consumable item in the tax exemption amount table T exceeds the upper limit of the set value (500,000 yen), the POS terminal 2 displays an error on the display 22.
[0056] Here, Fig. 10 is a front view showing an example of an error display screen. As shown in Fig. 10(a), when declaring tax exemption by pressing the tax exemption declaration key K, the POS terminal 2 displays "The tax exemption upper limit has been exceeded. Please cancel the product. The amount exceeded is XX,XXX yen" as an error display screen E1. Also, as shown in Fig. 10(b), during the sales registration process after declaring tax exemption by pressing the tax exemption declaration key K, the POS terminal 2 displays "The tax exemption upper limit has been exceeded. This product cannot be registered. The amount exceeded is XX,XXX yen" as an error display screen E2. Note that, when the clear key of the keyboard 21 is pressed, the POS terminal 2 erases the error display screen.
[0057] After the tax exemption process is executed (step S5), the POS terminal 2 redisplays the registered product display screen (step S6). Here, Fig. 11 is a front view showing an example of the redisplayed registered product display screen D. As shown in Fig. 11, the redisplayed registered product display screen D shows the tax amount as "0 yen" due to the exemption of tax by the tax exemption process. Also, as shown in Fig. 11, the redisplayed registered product display screen D shows the total displayed amount as the amount after the tax exemption process. Furthermore, the redisplayed registered product display screen D shows the word "exempt" next to products that are eligible for tax exemption.
[0058] In addition, the POS terminal 2 (warning display means 309) refers to the product master file F1 and, if the tax-free products include a product classified as a dangerous item (Yes in step S7), displays a pop-up warning display on the display screen of the display 22 (step S8). Here, FIG. 12 is a front view showing an example of the warning display W. As shown in FIG. 12, the POS terminal 2 displays, for example, "Carrying on sprays onto aircraft is prohibited" as the warning display W. Note that the POS terminal 2 erases the warning display W when the clear key on the keyboard 21 is pressed.
[0059] As described above, when the tax exemption declaration key K on the keyboard 21 is pressed during the sales registration process, the tax exemption process in step S5 and subsequent processes are executed for the registered products that are registered for sales in the subsequent sales registration process.
[0060] Thereafter, if the deposit / cash key or the like is operated during the sales registration process, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 308) performs a closing process to generate sales data, and then executes a printing process.
[0061] In the printing process of this embodiment, in the case of a transaction in which tax exemption processing has been performed, one purchase pledge, two purchase record tickets, and one receipt are printed. The POS terminal 2 also executes journal printing.
[0062] First, the purchase pledge will be explained. Here, Fig. 13 is a plan view showing an example of the purchase pledge X. The purchase pledge X is a document that describes the fact of the purchase of a duty-free item. The purchase pledge X is attached to a document (purchaser pledge) as a store copy and submitted to the business operator of the duty-free shop.
[0063] As shown in Figure 13, the purchase pledge X includes the name or title a of the business operator of the duty-free shop, the name of the competent tax office b, the location of the duty-free shop c, the purchase date d, product details (item name e, quantity and price for each item f), the total price of all items g, the total price of general items and consumables h, and the tax-free amount i. The following items are to be entered directly on the document (purchaser pledge). Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of arrival - The type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc. - A pledge to export the product after purchase (in the case of consumables, a pledge to export the product within 30 days of purchase) and the signature of the purchaser
[0064] Next, the purchase record ticket will be explained. Here, Fig. 14 is a plan view showing an example of a purchase record ticket Y. The purchase record ticket Y is a document that records the purchase of a tax-free item. Two copies of the purchase record ticket Y shown in Fig. 14 are printed, one to be attached to the document (purchase record ticket) and the other to be used as a copy for the store. The attached purchase record ticket Y is affixed to the document (purchase record ticket). This document (purchase record ticket) is affixed to the passport and tally-stamped.
[0065] As shown in Figure 14, the purchase record slip Y includes the name or trade name a of the business operator of the duty-free shop, the name of the competent tax office b, the address of the duty-free shop c, the purchase date d, product details (item name e, quantity and price for each item f), the total price of all items g, the total price of general items and consumables h, and the tax-free amount i. The following items are to be entered directly on the document (purchase record slip). Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of arrival - The type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc.
[0066] Next, the receipt will be described. Here, Fig. 15 is a plan view showing an example of a receipt R. The receipt R is given to the purchaser after the transaction.
[0067] As shown in Fig. 15, receipt R includes the name or title a of the business operator running the duty-free shop, the purchase date d, product details (product name e, quantity and price for each product f), and the total price g of all items. As shown in Fig. 15, in the case of a product that is already subject to tax exemption, "Exempt" j is printed in the tax printing. Also, as shown in Fig. 15, in the case of a tax-free transaction, a tax exemption message "A tax-free transaction has been made." k is printed on receipt R.
[0068] The POS terminal 2 of this embodiment executes journal printing corresponding to the purchase record ticket Y and the receipt R. Although not specifically shown, the POS terminal 2 prints the "nationality" selected on the nationality selection screen B (FIG. 9(b)) in the journal corresponding to the receipt R.
[0069] In this way, according to the POS terminal 2 of the embodiment, tax exemption processing can be performed automatically when the tax exemption classification unit (consumables, general goods) exceeds the tax exemption standard amount (consumables: 5,000 yen, general goods: 10,000 yen). This eliminates the need for operator-determined tax exemption registration operations, and enables the execution of sales registration processing for products in response to amendments to the tax exemption system.
[0070] In this embodiment, the items shown below are to be entered directly into the document (purchaser's pledge). Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of arrival - The type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc. - A pledge to export the product after purchase (in the case of consumables, a pledge to export the product within 30 days of purchase) and the signature of the purchaser
[0071] In this embodiment, the items shown below are to be entered directly on the document (purchase record slip). Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, status of residence, and date of arrival - The type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc.
[0072] In recent years, a passport reader has been developed that performs optical character recognition (OCR) on characters on a passport and outputs the data, and also reads the IC data on the passport and outputs the data. Therefore, a passport reader (not shown) may be connected to the POS terminal 2. This allows the POS terminal 2 (item input means 310) to input various passport information via the passport reader when, for example, nationality is selected on the nationality selection screen B (FIG. 9(b)). This makes it possible to print the items shown below on the purchase pledge X and the purchase record ticket Y. Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, and status of residence - The type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc.
[0073] Furthermore, the POS terminal 2 may print the following items and the purchaser's signature column on the purchase pledge X in advance. - A pledge to export the product after purchase (in the case of consumables, a pledge to export the product within 30 days of purchase)
[0074] Fig. 16 is a plan view showing an example of the purchase pledge Z. In addition to the items of the purchase pledge X shown in Fig. 13, the purchase pledge Z shown in Fig. 16 has the following items printed thereon. ·Purchaser's name, nationality, date of birth, and visa status ··o ·Type and number of the purchaser's passport, etc. ·p - A pledge to export the product after purchase (in the case of consumables, a pledge to export the product within 30 days from the date of purchase) ·Purchaser signature line ··r
