Is input, an operation display unit 380 displays a setting screen as shown in FIG. In such a setting screen, the operator inputs a register number or a person in charge name by selecting from the pull-down menu, for example, by using the operation display unit 380, and a check column for “Non-Sales” (see FIG. 13 (a) is displayed with a small square). More specifically, when it is desired to associate a cash register number and a storage area as an individual aggregation unit, a check column of “Not applicable” for a cash register number for depositing money collected from the money settlement apparatus 100 as a sales amount On the other hand, the cashier number for depositing money that is not counted as the sales amount such as donation is checked in the check box for “not for sale”. Here, the cash register number for depositing money that is not counted as sales amount for donations, etc. does not correspond to the actual cash register, but is a virtual cash register number in preparation for depositing money that is not counted as sales amounts for donations, etc. It's just a deemed setting. In this way, the setting unit 358 of the money handling apparatus 300 associates each individual aggregation unit with any one of the first storage areas 353 and each second storage area 354 for each individual aggregation unit. Done.

More specifically, for example, cash register numbers 1 to 4 are assigned to, for example, four cash registers installed at the checkout counter 12 of the store 10, and money that is not counted as a sales amount such as a donation is sent to the money processing apparatus 300. A virtual cash register number “FREE” is set in preparation for deposit. In such a case, the operator can check whether or not to check the “non-sales target” check box for each register number on the setting screen as shown in FIG. Setting for each register number as shown is performed. In the present embodiment, the plurality of first storage areas 353 correspond to cash register numbers 1 to 4, respectively, and the cash settlement apparatus for each cash register having the cash register numbers 1 to 4. When the money collected from 100 is deposited into the money handling apparatus 300, the amount of money put into the money handling apparatus 300 is stored in each first storage area 353 corresponding to this cash register number. Further, when the virtual cash register number “FREE” is designated and money related to donation is deposited into the money processing apparatus 300, the amount of money thrown into the money processing apparatus 300 is stored in the second storage area 354 as a donation amount. Will come to be. At this time, the operator can input the donation destination of the money put into the money processing apparatus 300 through the operation display unit 380, and the donation amount corresponds to the input donation destination. The second storage area 354 is stored.

In addition, in the money handling apparatus 300, when using the clerk's person-in-charge ID instead of the cash register number as an individual aggregation unit and wanting to associate each person-in-charge ID with a storage area, an operator such as an administrator of the shop 10 Enter the name of the person in charge and the person in charge of the person by selecting them from the pull-down menu, for example, and select whether or not to check the “Non-Sales” check box. I do. At this time, for each person who handles money related to the price of a commercial transaction (specifically, the price of the product) that should be counted as the sales amount, do not check the check box for “Not for sale” On the other hand, the “not for sale” check box is checked for the person ID of “for donation” provided in preparation for depositing money that is not aggregated as sales amount such as donation. More specifically, when each person in charge deposits money such as a donation into the money processing apparatus 300, each person in charge does not use a dedicated person ID, but uses a common person ID for donation. The money such as donation is used to deposit money into the money handling apparatus 300. In addition, when the manager deposits money as a donation into the money handling apparatus 300, the operation display unit 380 selects “manager” as a person in charge and checks “Non-Sales”. You may make it check in a column.

In this way, for example, the person-in-charge IDs are allocated to four persons in charge of the store 10 (Yamada, Sato, Tanaka, Taniguchi), and the prices of the commercial transactions that these persons in charge should aggregate as sales amounts ( More specifically, when the person in charge uses a common person ID for donation when depositing money such as a donation into the money handling apparatus 300. The operator performs the check as shown in FIG. 14B by checking / not checking the “not for sale” check box for each person in charge on the setting screen as shown in FIG. 13A. Settings are made for each person. In the present embodiment, each of the plurality of first storage areas 353 corresponds to each person in charge, and each person in charge of Yamada, Sato, Tanaka, and Taniguchi collects the money collected from the money settlement apparatus 100. When depositing money into the money handling apparatus 300, the amount of money thrown into the money handling apparatus 300 is stored in each first storage area 353 corresponding to the person in charge ID of the person in charge who performed the deposit processing. Become. In addition, when depositing money collected from the money settlement apparatus 100, money collected from a donation box, etc. into the money processing apparatus 300, each person in charge uses the common person ID for donation to process money. The amount of money put into the apparatus 300 is stored in the second storage area 354 as a donation amount. At this time, the operator can input the donation destination of the money put into the money processing apparatus 300 through the operation display unit 380, and the donation amount corresponds to the input donation destination. The second storage area 354 is stored.

In addition, after setting the association between each individual tabulation unit and the storage area on the setting screen as shown in FIG. 13A in the money handling apparatus 300, an operator such as an administrator of the store 10 A deposit amount list for each cash register number and person-in-charge ID can be displayed on the operation display unit 380 of 300. FIG. 13B is a display screen of a deposit amount list for each register number and person-in-charge ID in the operation display unit 380 of the money handling apparatus 300. In the screen as shown in FIG. 13B, the operator selects the item “sales target (Sales)” or “non-sales target (non Sales)” to thereby determine the price of the commercial transaction to be aggregated (specifically For each item (specifically for each cash register number or person ID) It will be displayed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), the operation display unit 380 of the money handling apparatus 300 displays the total amount of the deposit amount only for the price of the commercial transaction to be tabulated or the amount of money that is not tabulated as the sales amount such as donation. Only the total amount of deposit will be displayed.

In the present embodiment, the individual counting unit associated with any one of the first storage areas 353 and the second storage areas 354 in the money handling apparatus 300 is the register number or the person in charge ID. There is no limit. For example, other types of individual tabulation units such as the floor number of the store 10 may be used.

When the individual aggregation unit input by the aggregation unit input unit 360 relates to the price of a commercial transaction to be aggregated as the sales amount (“YES” in STEP 104), the main body control unit 350 calculates the amount by the amount calculation unit 356. The entered deposit amount is stored in the first storage area 353 corresponding to the entered individual total unit (STEP 105). On the other hand, when the individual aggregation unit input by the aggregation unit input unit 360 relates to money that is not aggregated as a sales amount such as a donation (“NO” in STEP 104), the main body control unit 350 displays the amount calculation unit 356. The deposit amount calculated by the above is stored in the second storage area 354 as a donation amount (STEP 106). If the individual aggregation unit input by the aggregation unit input unit 360 relates to money that is not aggregated as sales amount such as donation, the store clerk uses the operation display unit 380 to donate money related to the donation amount. Information about the destination can also be entered. When information related to the fund-raising destination is input, the deposit amount calculated by the amount calculation unit 356 is stored in the second storage area 354 corresponding to the input fund-raising destination.

More specifically, such an operation is described by the setting unit 358, as shown in FIG. 14A, for each registration number, each first storage area 353, and each second storage area 354 as an individual aggregation unit. In the case where the association with any one of the storage areas is performed for each cash register number, when the money is deposited, the store clerk uses the operation display unit 380 to register the cash register number as cash register information. When any one of No. 1 to No. 4 is input, the main body control unit 350 stores the deposit amount calculated by the amount calculation unit 356 in the first storage area 353 corresponding to the input register number. . On the other hand, when the store clerk inputs the virtual cash register number “FREE” corresponding to the money to be collected as the cash collection source cash register information on the operation display unit 380 when performing the money deposit process, the main body control unit 350 , The deposit amount calculated by the amount calculation unit 356 is stored in the second storage area 354.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the setting unit 358 associates each person-in-charge ID as an individual aggregation unit with any one of the first storage areas 353 and the second storage areas 354. Is performed for each person-in-charge ID, an operator who performs a money deposit process using the operation display unit 380 when the store clerk performs a process for depositing money as sales from each money settlement apparatus 100. If the person-in-charge IDs of Yamada, Sato, Tanaka, and Taniguchi are input as the information of, the main body control unit 350 uses the amount of money calculated by the amount calculation unit 356 as the first storage area corresponding to the input person-in-charge ID. 353 to store. On the other hand, when the store clerk inputs the person-in-charge ID for donation as information of the operator who performs the money deposit process by the operation display unit 380 when performing the money deposit process such as donation, the main body control unit 350 displays the amount of money. The deposit amount calculated by the calculation unit 356 is stored in the second storage area 354.

Thereafter, the above-described deposit information in the money handling apparatus 300 is transmitted to a higher-level device such as the management server 400 and the management system 20 by the communication unit 370 of the money handling apparatus 300 (STEP 107). In this way, a series of deposit processing is completed.

Next, the operation of the money withdrawal process by the money handling apparatus 300 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the money as a change reserve for loading into the money settlement apparatus 100 or money as a donation is withdrawn from the money processing apparatus 300, the store clerk first uses the operation display unit 380 to set the money in the money processing apparatus 300. The withdrawal mode is selected as the processing mode. Then, the store clerk inputs a withdrawal command through the operation display unit 380 (STEP 151). At this time, the store clerk also inputs the withdrawal amount and the contents of the withdrawal currency. Here, the content of the withdrawal money means “change reserve for loading into the money settlement apparatus 100” or “fund raising”, and the store clerk displays an operation display as to which kind of money to withdraw. The part 380 is selected. In addition, the store clerk inputs an individual counting unit such as a cash register number and a person-in-charge ID through the operation display unit 380.

When a withdrawal command is input through the operation display unit 380, the money corresponding to the input withdrawal amount is dispensed from the banknote dispensing unit 316 and the drawer mounting unit 336 of the money handling apparatus 300 (STEP 152). Further, when the content of the input withdrawal money is a change reserve, the main body control unit 350 uses the amount of the dispensed money as the withdrawal information and corresponds to the input individual counting unit. The data is stored in one storage area 353 (STEP 153). On the other hand, when the content of the input withdrawal money is a donation or the like, the main body control unit 350 stores the amount of the deposited money in the second storage area 354 as withdrawal information (STEP 154). . At this time, the store clerk can also input information related to a donation destination of the dispensed money through the operation display unit 380. When information related to the fund-raising destination is input, the withdrawal information is stored in the second storage area 354 corresponding to the input fund-raising destination.

In this way, a series of withdrawal processing is completed.

Further, in the money handling apparatus 300, the total amount of money stored in each of the first storage areas 353 and each of the second storage areas 354 is totaled at predetermined intervals (for example, every month) by the totaling unit 362. . In the present embodiment, the totaling unit 362 may total the amount of money stored in each first storage area 353 and the amount of money stored in each second storage area 354 at different timings.

[Operation of deposit / withdrawal of money by money settlement apparatus 100 and POS register 200]
Next, the operation of money deposit processing by the money settlement apparatus 100 and the POS register 200 will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. In the present embodiment, the main body control unit 150 of the money settlement apparatus 100 determines that the money taken into the money settlement apparatus 100 is the price of a commercial transaction acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 of the POS register 200 (specifically, , The price of the product is stored in the first storage area 153 of the money settlement apparatus 100, while the price is acquired. Control is performed so that the amount calculated by the amount calculation unit 156 for the money taken into the money settlement apparatus 100 in a state where the price of the commercial transaction is not acquired by the unit 250 is stored in the second storage area 154 of the money settlement apparatus 100. To do.

First, an operation when a money as a price for a commercial transaction (specifically, a price for a product, etc.) is input to the money settlement apparatus 100 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

When the checkout counter 12 performs the checkout process, the store clerk reads the ID card carried by the clerk 228 by the code scanner 228 of the POS register 200 so as to read the clerk ID of the store clerk. . The clerk's person-in-charge ID read by the code scanner 228 is transmitted from the POS register 200 to the money settlement apparatus 100 as information relating to the individual tabulation unit.

When the checkout counter 12 performs checkout processing, the store clerk who receives the product from the customer inputs the price of the product using the keyboard 220, the touch panel 234, or the like, and the barcode attached to the product is displayed by the code scanner 228. I read it. Thereby, the price acquisition unit 250 acquires the price of the commercial transaction such as the price of the product (STEP 201). The price of the commercial transaction acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 is transmitted from the POS register 200 to the money settlement apparatus 100 (STEP 202, STEP 203).

Then, the clerk puts the money deposited from the customer into the body of the money settlement apparatus 100 (STEP 204). The amount calculation unit 156 calculates the amount of money taken into the bill settlement apparatus 110 and the coin settlement apparatus 130 based on the identification result of the bills and coins by the identification units 122 and 142 (STEP 205). Then, the main body control unit 150 of the money settlement apparatus 100 calculates the amount of change by subtracting the amount of money for the commercial transaction acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 from the amount of money calculated by the amount calculation unit 156. Then, control is performed so that money corresponding to the change amount is thrown out by the bill throwing unit 116 and the coin throwing unit 136 (STEP 206). Money as a change thrown out from the money settlement apparatus 100 is returned to the customer. Further, information on the amount of change calculated by the main body control unit 150 is transmitted from the money settlement apparatus 100 to the POS register 200 (STEP 207, STEP 208). As a result, the control unit 210 of the POS register 200 can also manage information related to the change amount.

In addition, the main body control unit 150 of the money settlement apparatus 100 stores the price amount received from the POS register 200, that is, the price amount acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 of the POS register 200 in the first storage area 153. (STEP209). At this time, the price amount acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 is stored in the first storage area 153 corresponding to the individual tabulation unit (specifically, the clerk's person-in-charge ID). Further, in addition to storing the amount of money acquired by the price acquisition unit 250 of the POS register 200 in the first storage area 153, the amount calculated by the amount calculation unit 156 is used as deposit information, and banknote dispensing The amount of money as a change dispensed by the unit 116 or the coin dispensing unit 136 may be stored in the first storage area 153 as withdrawal information.

In the present embodiment, the amount of money calculated by the amount calculation unit 156 is larger than the amount of money for the commercial transaction acquired by the price amount acquisition unit 250, and money as change is paid out from the money settlement apparatus 100. Even if it should be done, instead of paying out money as change from the money settlement apparatus 100, the money settlement apparatus 100 can make a donation for the amount of change instead. More specifically, when the amount of money calculated by the amount calculation unit 156 is larger than the amount of money for the commercial transaction acquired by the price acquisition unit 250, the customer makes a part of the amount of change to the store clerk. Alternatively, if the sales clerk is informed that he / she wants to donate the money, the store clerk makes a donation using the keyboard 220 or the touch panel 234 of the POS register 200 without throwing out the money corresponding to a part or all of the calculated change amount to the outside of the aircraft.
