Its function is only to realize business record memo and supervise the misconduct of employees. In the late 1960s, with the rapid development of electronic technology, Japan took the lead in developing the electronic cash register (ECR). The invention of the electronic cash register has epoch-making significance. Its technical performance and commercial function are far beyond the prototype of the institutional cash register. It has the characteristics of intelligence and networking, and has become an effective tool and means for labor management, accounting management and commodity management in commercial sales. By the mid-1980s, the powerful commercial special terminal system (POS) was produced and became the third generation cash register. The biggest difference between POS and ECR is that it has the characteristics of direct and real-time account entry and strong online real-time processing capability. POS integrates computer hardware and software to form an intelligent commercial workstation that can work independently and under the network environment.
