Abstract:
A commodity return processing device is configured to communicate with a point-of-sale (POS) server, and includes a display, scanner, an input device, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the scanner to read a customer ID that identifies a customer, control the display to show a list of transactions made by the identified customer, determine a commodity to be returned included in one of the transactions in response to a selection made by the customer via the input device, retrieve from the POS server information about one or more requirements for accepting a return of the commodity using a commodity code assigned to the commodity, determine whether the requirements are met based on at least one of a condition of the commodity and the current date, and perform a refund process for the commodity if the requirements are met.
