Description

  The present invention relates to a money management system and a money management method including a money processing device that accepts money and pays out change associated with settlement of sold products in commercial facilities such as department stores and supermarkets.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a commercial facility, a money handling apparatus that stores money delivered from a customer at the time of settlement of a product and pays change as necessary is used. When operating this money handling apparatus, change reserves are loaded before the start of business, and all money is collected after the end of business. When the money is collected, a checkout operation is performed to confirm the consistency between the collected money amount, the change reserve, and the sum of the sales on the day.

  In this way, by collecting the entire amount from the money handling apparatus and performing the settlement, it is possible to detect inconsistencies caused by employee fraud and errors. On the other hand, daily loading of change reserves, collection of all money, and settlement operations are heavy for employees. In order to reduce such a burden on the employee, a technique is known in which money is collected while leaving the amount used as change reserve for the next day after the end of business.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the amount of money of a money handling device is managed, and the amount of money to be managed and the number of money types to be left in the money handling device as change reserves for the next business day. Based on this, a technique is disclosed in which the number of money types to be collected is calculated, and money is collected from the money handling apparatus based on the calculation result.

  In this way, by performing the operation of leaving money in the money handling apparatus across the days (hereinafter referred to as “remaining”), the load related to the preparation of the change reserve is reduced. Also, for daily checkout work, calculate the number of denominations to be collected based on the number of remaining denominations, etc., collect based on the calculation results, and whether the collected money matches the calculation results Therefore, the load is greatly reduced.

  Even in the case where such a remaining operation is performed, for example, the entire amount of money stored in the money handling apparatus is collected in a regular cycle such as once every two weeks, and the settlement is performed. It is common. The money handling device manages the amount of money stored in the money handling device. However, the money management device and the money management device are actually stored in the money handling device due to an error in handling when an error occurs or the operator's fraud. This is because there is a case where the number of coins that are present is inconsistent.

In addition, even if the received processing result is a complete collection or automatic scrutiny (step S101; Yes), if the current day is a scheduled date for the received processing (step S102; Yes), the process proceeds to step S111. To do. Also, when the next schedule corresponding to the accepted result process exceeds the reference number of days of the schedule correction parameter 834h corresponding to the accepted result process (step S104; No), the process proceeds to step S111.

  Further, when “9” is set in the next schedule correction condition of the schedule correction parameter 834h corresponding to the processing of the accepted record, which indicates that the next schedule is changed to the final record date based on the record unconditionally (step (S103; No, Step S106; Yes), the process proceeds to Step S105. When “0” indicating that the next schedule correction is not performed in the next schedule correction condition of the schedule correction parameter 834h corresponding to the received actual result processing (step S106; No), the process proceeds to step S111. Transition.

  If “necessary” is set as the necessity of schedule correction after the next time of the schedule correction parameter 834h corresponding to the received result processing (step S107; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f performs processing of the received result. Corrections are made so that the cycle from the next schedule in which the corresponding subsequent schedule is corrected in step S105 becomes a cycle set in the registration master data 834e, and the schedule data 834f is updated (step S108). If “necessary” is not set as the necessity of scheduled correction after the next time of the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the received processing of the result (step S107; No), the process proceeds to step S111.

  As a result of the schedule correction in step S108, when the set value of the maximum number of same day implementation of the schedule correction parameter 834h has been exceeded on the scheduled date after the next correction after the process of accepting the results (step S109; Yes) The schedule correction unit 830f changes the schedule to a schedule that does not conflict with the set value of the maximum number of scheduled correction parameters 834h on the same day in the preceding and following schedules (step S110). In addition, as a result of the scheduled correction in step S108, when the set value of the maximum number of scheduled correction parameters 834h on the same day is not exceeded on the scheduled date after the correction for the process of receiving the results (step S109; No) Skips the process of step S110 and proceeds to step S111.

  If there is still a record in which the series of evaluations related to the schedule correction has not been performed in the received process record (step S111; Yes), the process returns to step S101. In addition, when there is no track record in which the series of processes related to the scheduled correction has been performed among the track records of the received process (step S111; No), the process ends.

  Further, when the accepted processing result is the change reserve replenishment processing result (step S101; No), the schedule correction unit 830f performs the schedule correction process associated with the accepted change reserve replenishment processing. (Step S112), and the process proceeds to Step S111. The detailed processing procedure of step S112 will be described later.

  Next, a detailed processing procedure of the correction process (step S112) for changing the change reserve shown in FIG. 13 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing procedure of the correction process (step S112) for changing the change reserve shown in FIG.

  When the received processing result is a result related to the change reserve replenishment process (step S201; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f performs the evaluation of the prolongation possibility evaluation of the change reserve supplement correction correction parameter of the schedule correction parameter 834h. The result of the latest replenishment amount for the number of times set in the number of times is calculated (step S202). If the received processing record is not a change related to the change reserve replenishment process (step S201; No), the process ends.

  If the actual replenishment amount calculated in step S202 is less than the predetermined threshold (step S203; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f changes the change master replenishment cycle of the registration master data 834e to be longer. (Step S204). If the actual replenishment amount calculated in step S202 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold (step S203; No), step S204 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S205.

  The schedule correction unit 830f refers to the result data 834g and calculates the number of consecutive times that the unscheduled replenishment process is performed in the most recent change reserve replenishment process (step S205). When the number of consecutive unscheduled replenishment processes calculated in step S205 is equal to or greater than the threshold set in the number of times subject to short-term availability evaluation of the change reserve replenishment schedule correction parameter of the schedule correction parameter 834h (step S206; In Yes), the schedule correcting unit 830f changes the change reserve replenishment cycle of the registration master data 834e so as to be shortened (step S207). When the number of consecutive unscheduled replenishment processes calculated in step S205 is less than the threshold value set in the actual number of times subject to shortage evaluation of the change reserve supplement correction parameter for the schedule correction parameter 834h (step S206; No) skips step S207 and proceeds to step S208.

  If the actual change of the accepted change reserve is not as scheduled (step S208; No), or if the accepted change of the change reserve is as scheduled (step S208; Yes) When the cycle of the change reserve replenishment process is changed in step S204 or step S207 (step S211; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f sets the schedule for the next change reserve replenishment process to the last. The schedule data 834f is updated with the correction contents by making corrections based on the results and the change reserve replenishment cycle of the cash register master data 834e (step S209). Further, the schedule correction unit 830f corrects and corrects the schedule for the replenishment process of the change reserve after the next time based on the next schedule corrected in step S209 and the change reserve replenishment cycle of the registration master data 834e. The schedule data 834f is updated with the contents (step S210), and the process is terminated.

  Also, when the accepted change reserve replenishment results are as scheduled (step S208; Yes), and the change reserve replenishment cycle is not changed in step S204 or step S207 (step S211). No), the process is terminated without performing the scheduled correction.

  As described above, the POS register 300 or the coin change machine 100 performs the maintenance process by transmitting the scheduled date for performing the maintenance process such as full collection, automatic scrutiny and replenishment of change reserves performed at the register unit to the POS register 300. If the scheduled date to be approached, a notification that the scheduled maintenance process is to be performed will be issued, and the maintenance process results for which the scheduled date has been set will be accepted, and the subsequent maintenance process based on the received results Since the scheduled date for performing the corrected maintenance process is transmitted to the POS register 300, management of the schedule of the maintenance process related to the amount of money performed by the register unit is appropriately and efficiently performed. It can be carried out.
