Sales Slip Processor Edit Data Grouping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Salesclerks face cumbersome operations when processing multiple order slips with the same table code, requiring repeated entry of slip codes or customer codes for data retrieval and payment processing, especially when customers occupy multiple tables.
Innovation Solution
A sales slip processing method that organizes provisional data from multiple order slips with the same condition into an edit data group, allowing for easy retrieval and modification using a 'previous/ subsequent slip' designation, eliminating the need for repeated code entry.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If salesclerks process multiple order slips with the same table code manually by entering slip codes or customer codes repeatedly, then the system can retrieve and process data for each slip, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple order slips with the same table code into a single 'edit data group' that is retrieved and processed together. Instead of manually entering slip codes or customer codes for each slip individually, the system retrieves all related provisional data in one operation, thereby reducing the number of manual inputs and processing time while maintaining complete data accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary organization of provisional data from multiple order slips into an edit data group before the actual processing. This preliminary action of grouping and preparing data in advance eliminates the need for repeated manual code entry during processing, as the data is already organized and ready for unified handling.
2Reliability
If salesclerks manually enter slip codes or customer codes for each order slip, then data retrieval is accurate, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple order slips with the same table code into a unified edit data group that is retrieved through a single operation. This merging approach maintains data retrieval accuracy by ensuring all related slips are processed together while significantly reducing operation complexity, as the salesclerk no longer needs to manually enter codes for each slip individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically organizing and retrieving provisional data from multiple order slips based on the table code. The system handles the complex task of data grouping and retrieval autonomously, eliminating the need for manual code entry and reducing operational complexity while maintaining accuracy.
3Productivity
If the system processes order slips individually with repeated code entry, then each slip can be processed separately, but processing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple order slips into a single edit data group that is processed together in one operation. This approach significantly improves processing efficiency by eliminating repeated code entry operations and reducing the total time required to process multiple slips, while still allowing individual slip data to be accessed and modified as needed within the unified group.

AI summary
In response to inputting order, a sales slip processor issues a sales slip with a slip code and a table code of a table at which the order is accepted, and stores order data in a sales holding file. In order to balance or rewrite sales slips, an operator inputs a sales slip code or a table code. The processor calls order data sets with a table code corresponding to the input code from the sales holding file and numbers the sets to create and store an edit data group in an edit file. One edit data set is selected and displayed on a screen display part. A data set next to the displayed edit data set can be retrieved from the edit file through one touch operation that designates a subsequent or previous slip with an input unit and displayed on the screen to thereby facilitate the retrieval of the order data with the same table code.
