An embodiment of the cash voucher management system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

An embodiment of a cash voucher management system is a gift certificate management system 11 that sells gift certificates as cash vouchers and manages inventory associated therewith. The gift certificate management system 11 is installed in a store such as a department store that sells gift certificates. As shown in FIG. 1, the gift certificate management system 11 is installed in a management room in a store to store a gift certificate S in a gift certificate storage area 17, and a non-portable Omoto safe 12 and a gift certificate S. It has a large safe 12 and a transaction storage 13 such as a portable hand-held safe that is stored when being transported between the gift certificate counter. In addition to the gift certificate storage area 17, the safe 12 is provided with a storage storage area 18 for storing the transaction storage 13.

Further, the gift certificate management system 11 is installed in the gift certificate counter to mechanically count the gift certificates S and pay out a set number of gift certificates, and is installed in the gift certificate counter to sell the gift certificate S. It also has a gift certificate management device 16 that manages the inventory associated therewith. The operation of the gift certificate payout device 15 is controlled by the gift certificate management device 16.

In the transaction storage 13, some of the gift certificates S stored in the gift certificate storage area 17 of the safe 12 to be transported to the gift certificate counter for sale are replenished, which will be described later. The gift certificate S is transported to the gift certificate counter in a state of being stored in the transaction storage 13 and is taken out from the transaction storage 13 and sold through the payout process described later. ..

Here, the transaction storage 13 is operated to be stored in the storage storage area 18 of the safe 12 while storing the gift certificate S. That is, the gift certificate S is not taken out from the transaction storage 13 and stored in the safe 12. Further, even if the gift certificate S stored in the transaction storage 13 is stored in the safe 12 together with the transaction storage 13, it is not treated as the inventory of the safe 12, but is treated as the inventory of the transaction storage 13. It is in operation.

The gift certificate payout device 15 separates the insertion port 21 in which the gift certificate S is manually set by the operator in an integrated state and the gift certificate S set in the insertion port 21 into pieces, takes them in, and feeds them out while counting. It has a counting feeding unit 22, a payout outlet 23 for collecting gift certificates S paid out by the counting feeding unit 22 so as to be able to take out, and a payout device control unit 24 for controlling the counting feeding unit 22. In the gift certificate payout device 15, the payout device control unit 24 pays out a set number of gift certificates S from the slot 21 while being counted by the counting payout unit 22 based on the command signal from the gift certificate management device 16. Accumulate at the payout port 23.

The gift certificate payout device 15 is provided with an insertion port 21 at the upper part on the front side thereof, and a payout outlet 23 at the lower part on the front side thereof. Gift certificates S are set in the slot 21 in a state of being accumulated vertically, and the counting feeding unit 22 takes in the gift certificates S set in the slot 21 in order from the lower side. Further, the counting feeding unit 22 pays out the gift certificate S in the order in which the gift certificate S is taken out, and the payout outlet 23 collects the gift certificate S from the bottom to the top in the order in which the gift certificate S is taken out. Therefore, in the gift certificate payout device 15, when the payout port 23 is empty, the gift certificate S at the bottom of the slot 21 at the start of the payout is also the best at the payout outlet 23. Be below. At that time, the surface of the gift certificate S facing downward at the slot 21 is also facing downward at the payout port 23.

The gift certificate management device 16 has a touch panel type operation display unit 31 (input means, operation means, display means, warning means) that accepts operation input by the operator and displays the screen toward the operator, and the gift certificate management device 16 toward the operator. A voice output unit 32 (warning means) that outputs voice such as an alarm, a printer 33 that prints on paper, and a management device control unit 34 (management means) that controls these and controls the gift certificate payout device 15. It has a storage unit 35 (management means) for storing data.

As shown in FIG. 2, the gift certificate S has a version number L, a ticket number N, and a face value V displayed on the ticket surface S1. Here, the edition number L is a group number indicating the lot number at the time of manufacturing the gift certificate S, and even if the ticket number N is the same, if the edition numbers L are different, the gift certificate S is different, so that there is no problem. On the contrary, if there are a plurality of gift certificates S having the same ticket number N and the same version number L, one of them will be forged, which causes a problem. That is, each gift certificate S is distinguished from other gift certificates S by the combination of the version number L and the ticket number N. In a specific example of the gift certificate S shown in FIG. 2, the same ticket surface S1 that the version number L is "12344567", the ticket number N is "10000001", and the face value V is "500 yen". It is displayed above.

As shown in FIG. 3, the gift certificate S is handled in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) bundled in a predetermined number of bundles, and as shown in FIG. 2, the gift certificate S is separated one by one. It may be handled in the state of (b).

The gift certificate S has the same face value V, the same version number L, and the ticket number N is a serial number. The number of loose tickets S (b) is only a predetermined number of bundles (for example, 200), both of which are in front of the ticket surface S1. The tickets with the smaller ticket numbers N are stacked in numerical order so that they are in the bundled state, and the tickets are delivered from a specialized supplier.

As shown in FIG. 3, the ticket bundle S (a) in which the number of loose tickets S (b) constituting the bundle is in a bundled state is, for example, a transparent resin pack one by one so as not to be easily separated. It is delivered in a shrink-packed state with P. On the ticket bundle S (a), the face value V of the gift certificate S, the version number L, the minimum ticket number Na, and the maximum ticket number Nb are printed together with the number of loose tickets S (b) that make up the bundle. The display sheet H is enclosed with the face value V, the version number L, and the ticket numbers Na and Nb visible. In the specific example of the ticket bundle S (a) shown in FIG. 3, the face value V is "500 yen", the version number L is "12344567", the minimum ticket number Na is "10000001", and the maximum. It is displayed on the display sheet H that the ticket number Nb is "10000200".

The gift certificate S is stored in the gift certificate storage area 17 of the Omoto safe 12 installed in the management room in the store through the warehousing process described later in the state of the ticket bundle S (a). The safe. Therefore, in the gift certificate storage area 17 of the safe 12, all the gift certificates S are stored in the state of the ticket bundle S (a). Here, the ticket bundle S (a) in the gift certificate storage area 17 can be taken out directly by opening the safe 12. All of the loose tickets S (b) having the same number of bundles constituting the same ticket bundle S (a) have the same version number L.

In the transaction storage 13, there is a possibility that the ticket bundle S (a) of the gift certificate S and the loose ticket S (b) in the loose state of the gift certificate S are mixed. The ticket bundle S (a) and the loose ticket S (b) stored in the transaction storage 13 are stored in the storage storage area 18 of the safe 12 as they are stored in the transaction storage 13. Therefore, the ticket bundle S (a) and the loose ticket S (b) stored in the transaction storage 13 cannot be directly taken out even if the safe 12 is opened.

The type of gift certificate S to be handled can be set arbitrarily, but here, a gift certificate S with a face value of 1,000 yen (so-called 1,000 yen ticket) and a gift certificate S with a face value of 500 yen ( The case where there are only two types (so-called 500-yen coins) will be described as an example. Further, the number of bundles of gift certificates S, which is the bundle S (a), can be arbitrarily set, but here, a case where it is set to 200 regardless of the face value will be described as an example.

First, an outline of the operation of handling the gift certificate S will be described.

At the store, before the start of business on the day, the gift certificate S required for the business on the day is appropriately transferred from the Omoto safe 12 to the transaction storage 13 and carried to the gift certificate counter. It has become. Then, at the gift certificate counter, when the customer requests the purchase of the gift certificate S, the gift certificate S is sold according to the face value and the quantity of the gift certificate S for which the purchase request has been made.

For example, in the case of a purchase request for 200 gift certificates S having a predetermined face value, the salesperson unwinds the ticket bundle S (a) in which the 200 gift certificates S having a predetermined face value are bundled. The 200 gift certificates S are transferred to a predetermined gift certificate sales case, packaged, and sold to customers. Further, for example, when there is a purchase request for 10 gift certificates S having a predetermined face value, if there is no loose ticket S (b) having this face value, 200 gift certificates S having this face value are bundled. The ticket bundle S (a) is unwound, and as a loose ticket S (b), only 10 gift certificates S are taken out, transferred to a predetermined gift certificate sales case, packaged, and sold to customers. ing. Further, for example, when a subsequent customer requests the purchase of, for example, five gift certificates S at this face value, only five of the remaining 190 loose tickets S (b) are paid out, and a predetermined value is given. It is operated by transferring it to a gift certificate sales case, packaging it, and selling it to customers.

When the business on the day is closed, all the gift certificates S remaining at the gift certificate counter are stored in the transaction storage 13 and then returned to the storage storage area 18 of the safe 12 and stored together with the transaction storage 13. It is an operation to do. That is, the gift certificate S required for business on the day is carried out from the safe 12 in a state of being stored in the transaction storage 13, and the gift certificate S remaining in the business on the day is stored in the transaction storage 13. It is left in the safe and returned to the safe 12 for storage. Further, in the safe 12, the gift certificate S in the transaction storage 13 and the gift certificate S in the other gift certificate storage area 17 are distinguished and managed in inventory. Such an operation is repeated every business day.

In the trading storage 13 transferred every business day, as shown in FIG. 3, a bundle of tickets S (a) in a shrink-packed state and a bundle of tickets S (a) separated from the bundled state and left in a separated state. There is a possibility that a fractional number of loose tickets S (b) less than the number of bundles are mixed, but even in that case, the gift certificate management system 11 is a gift certificate in the state of the ticket bundle S (a). Inventory management is performed by distinguishing between S and the gift certificate S in the state of the loose ticket S (b).

The gift certificate management device 16 arranged in the gift certificate counter is operated by an operator to perform "receipt" and "replenishment" as handling operations of the gift certificate S from the inventory management menu screen displayed on the operation display unit 31. , "Gift certificate withdrawal", "Aggregation", "Rewash" and other menu operations are possible.

[Warehousing processing]
When the store side purchases the gift certificate S from a specialist in the state of a shrink-packed ticket bundle S (a) and stores it in the safe 12, the store operator operates the warehousing process. Select the "Receiving" menu from the inventory management menu screen of the operation display unit 31 of the gift certificate management device 16. Then, the management device control unit 34 sets the operation display unit 31 to the warehousing screen 41 as shown in FIG. 4, and performs the warehousing process.

The warehousing screen 41 includes a selection tab 42 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen handled by the gift certificate management system 11 and a selection tab 43 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen handled by the gift certificate management system 11. , Including.

FIG. 4 shows a warehousing screen 41 in a state where the selection tab 43 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen is pressed and selected, and the warehousing screen 41 is an input value of the version number of the gift certificate S. Input value of "first ticket number" to display the input value of the smallest ticket number in the gift certificate S consisting of the "version number" input value display field 45 for displaying and the serial number in the state of the ticket bundle S (a). Value display field 46, "number of sheets" input value display field 47 for displaying the input value of the number of sheets, these "version number" input value display field 45, "first ticket number" input value display field 46, and "number of sheets" input It includes an input operation unit 51 for performing an input operation to the value display field 47, a "back" button 52, a "receipt cancellation" button 53, and a "registration" button 54.

The input operation unit 51 has a ten-key unit 61 that is operated when inputting a number, a number display field 62 that displays the number input by the ten-key unit 61, and when erasing the number input by the ten-key unit 61. The "CE" button 63 to be operated, the "version number" button 65 to be pressed when inputting the version number, the "ticket number" button 66 to be pressed when inputting the ticket number, and the pressing operation when inputting the number of sheets. Includes a "number" button 67.

Here, in the warehousing screen 41, in the initial state before inputting to the input operation unit 51, the "version number" input value display field 45 and the "first ticket number" input value display field 46 are blank. In the "number of sheets" input value display field 47 of the number of gift certificates S of 100 yen, 200 sheets are displayed as a preset default value. This is because a gift certificate S with a face value of 500 yen is a bundled ticket S (a) of one pack of 200 sheets having the same number of editions and serial numbers, and is delivered in units of one pack. This is because it is in operation. When multiple packs of gift certificates S (a) with a face value of 500 yen are delivered, 200 gift certificates S with the same edition number but serial numbers will be delivered. It is also operated in multiple packs so that it is delivered. In this way, when the number of ticket bundles S (a) to be delivered is a pack number other than one pack, the operator can use the product according to the ticket bundle S (a) whose ticket number is composed of the gift certificate S having a serial number. The number of tickets S will be entered instead of the default value.

On the warehousing screen 41, even when the selection tab 42 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen is pressed and selected, the "version number" input value display field and the "first ticket number" are input in the same manner. It includes a value display field, a "number of sheets" input value display field, an input operation unit on which an input operation is performed, a "back" button, a "receipt cancellation" button, and a "registration" button.

Here, in the "number of sheets" input value display field of the gift certificate S of 1,000 yen, 2000 sheets are displayed as a preset default value. This is because the gift certificate S with a face value of 1,000 yen is a 10-pack bundled ticket S (a) so that 2000 sheets with the same version number and serial numbers are converted into 200 serial numbers each. This is because the operation is divided and delivered in units of 10 packs. When the number of ticket bundles S (a) to be delivered is a number of packs such as 20 packs other than 10 packs, the operator responds to the ticket bundle S (a) composed of gift certificates S whose ticket numbers are serial numbers. The number of gift certificates S will be changed to the default value and entered. In addition to the delivery from the delivery company, the ticket bundle S (a) collected from another closed store may be stored. In this case as well, the operator may receive the gift certificate S having a serial number. The number of gift certificates S corresponding to the ticket bundle S (a) composed of the above is input instead of the default value.

Specifically, for example, in the case where a total of 5 bundles S (a) composed of 200 gift certificates S having a face value of 500 yen are stored, they are displayed on the display sheet H of each of these 5 bundles. The number of editions L is the same, and the ticket numbers of the gift certificates S constituting the five bundles are all consecutive from the minimum ticket number Na and the maximum ticket number Nb displayed on the display sheet H of each of these five bundles. In the case of the turn, first, as shown in FIG. 4, on the warehousing screen 41, the operator has a selection tab 42 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen and a selection tab for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen. From among 43, the selection tab 43 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen is pressed and selected.

Then, the operator uses the input operation unit 51 to input the version number common to the five bundles. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 61 of the input operation unit 51 to input the version number, and while checking the display of the input version number in the numerical display field 62, presses the "version number" button 65. Manipulate. Then, the management device control unit 34 displays the input version number in the "version number" input value display field 45 that displays the version number. In FIG. 4, "1234567" is input as the version number, and this is displayed in the "version number" input value display field 45.

Further, the operator uses the input operation unit 51 to input the smallest number among the smallest ticket numbers Na displayed on the display sheet H of each of the five bundles. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 61 of the input operation unit 51 to input the smallest number, and while checking the display of the input ticket number in the number display field 62, presses the "ticket number" button 66. Press and operate. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the management device control unit 34 causes the input ticket number to be displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 46 that displays the smallest ticket number. FIG. 4 shows a case where "10000001" is input as the smallest ticket number and this is displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 46. In this way, the ticket number displayed on the gift certificate S is manually input to the operation display unit 31.

Further, the operator uses the input operation unit 51 to input the total number of gift certificates S for five bundles. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 61 of the input operation unit 51 to input the number of sheets, and while checking the display of the input number in the number display field 62, presses the "number of sheets" button 67. Then, the management device control unit 34 displays the input number of sheets in the "number of sheets" input value display field 47 that displays the number of sheets of the warehousing screen 41. FIG. 4 shows a case where "1000", which is the number of sheets for five bundles, is input instead of the default value "200", and this is displayed in the "number of sheets" input value display field 47.

Next, when confirming and registering these numerical values, the operator presses the "register" button 54. By this operation, the management device control unit 34 does not transfer the warehousing date and time when the "register" button 54 is pressed and the above information input to the warehousing screen 41 to the transaction vault 13 regarding the replenishment process described later. It is stored in the storage unit 35 of the gift certificate management device 16 as management data including the fact that it is replenished and the fact that it has not been paid out with respect to the payout process described later, and this management data is printed on paper by the printer 33. As a result, it is possible to manage the receipt of the gift certificate S in the safe 12.

That is, for example, a gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen is selected as the ticket type, "12344567" is input as the version number, "10000001" is input as the smallest ticket number, and "1000" is input as the number of sheets. Then, the "register" button 54 is pressed.

Then, the management device control unit 34 tells that the management data has not been replenished and has not been paid out to the transaction storage 13, and that, for example, "2018/12" is the storage date and time when the "register" button 54 is pressed. / 14 11:00 "and the version number is" 1234567 ", and the number is 500 yen in the state of a bundle of 200 tickets S (a) with serial numbers from" 10000001 "to" 10000200 ". The gift certificate S and the gift certificate S of 500 yen in the state of a bundle of 200 tickets S (a) having a ticket number "10000201" to "10000040" and having a version number of "1234567". A gift certificate S of 500 yen in the state of a bundle of 200 tickets S (a) having serial numbers from the ticket numbers "10000401" to "10000600" and the version number being "1234567". The number is "1234567", and the number of the gift certificate S is 500 yen in the state of a bundle of 200 tickets S (a) with serial numbers from the ticket numbers "100000601" to "10000080". Is also "1234567", and a 500-yen gift certificate S in the state of a bundle of 200 tickets S (a) with serial numbers from the ticket numbers "10000801" to "10001000" is stored in the large safe 12. That is stored in the storage unit 35. In other words, this management data is data indicating that 1000 500-yen gift certificates S having serial numbers from the ticket numbers "10000001" to "10001000" have been stored in the safe 12.

When the "register" button 54 is pressed as described above on the warehousing screen 41 in which the information is input, the management device control unit 34 selects the operation display unit 31 from the selection tabs 42 and 43. The selection tab that was selected immediately before is selected, the "version" input value display field 45 and the "first ticket number" input value display field 46 are left blank, and the "number of sheets" input value display field 47 sets the default value. Return to the displayed initial state warehousing screen 41.

Further, when the "back" button 52 is pressed instead of the "register" button 54 as described above on the warehousing screen 41 in which the information is input, the management device control unit 34 inputs the information as described above. The stored information is erased without being stored in the storage unit 35, and the display of the operation display unit 31 is returned to the inventory management menu screen without printing by the printer 33.

Here, when it is desired to cancel the management data registered in the immediately preceding warehousing process, the operator presses the "receipt cancel" button 53 on the warehousing screen 41 in the initial state. Then, the management device control unit 34 reads out the management data that has not been replenished and has not been paid out in the transaction storage 13 registered in the immediately preceding warehousing process from the storage unit 35, and is based on this management data as shown in FIG. The warehousing cancellation screen 71 is displayed. The warehousing cancellation screen 71 has a selection tab 72 for a gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen and a selection tab 73 for a gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen.

FIG. 5 shows a warehousing cancellation screen 71 in a state in which the selection tab 73 for the gift certificate S of 500 yen is pressed and selected, and the warehousing cancellation screen 71 in this state has a face value of 500 yen immediately before. In the "receipt date and time" display field 75 that displays the warehousing date and time included in the unreplenished and unpaid management data in the transaction storage 13 stored in the storage unit 35 in the warehousing process of the gift certificate S, and this management data. The "version number" display field 76 that displays the number of plates included, the "first ticket number" display field 77 that displays the smallest ticket number included in this management data, and the number of sheets included in this management data are displayed. It includes a "number of sheets" display field 78, a "back" button 81, and a "cancel" button 82.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 5, the selection tab 73 indicating that the ticket type is the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen is pressed and selected, and the warehousing cancellation screen 71 shows the above. Based on the management data stored in the storage unit 35 in the warehousing process immediately before the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen, the ticket bundle S in which the warehousing process was performed immediately before is displayed in the "receipt date and time" display field 75. The warehousing date and time of (a), "2018/12/14 11:00", is displayed, and the "version number" display column 76 is the number of editions of the ticket bundle S (a) whose warehousing process was performed immediately before.

Select by pressing the selection tab 152 for the gift certificate S of. Then, the management device control unit 34 clearly indicates that the "machine payment" display field 155 is a machine payment as a display state that is clearer than the "manual payment" display field 156.

Then, the operator inputs the number of units using the input operation unit 171. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 181 of the input operation unit 171 to input the number of units, and while checking the display of the input number in the number display field 182, presses the "number of units" button 185. Then, the management device control unit 34 causes the input number of units to be displayed in the "number of units" input value display field 161 for displaying the number of units. In FIG. 8, “3” is input as the number of units, and this is displayed in the “number of units” input value display field 161.

In addition, the operator uses the input operation unit 171 to input the number of payouts per unit. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 181 of the input operation unit 171 to input the number of payouts per unit, and while checking the display of the input number of payouts per unit in the number display field 182, Press the "number of sheets" button 186. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the management device control unit 34 causes the "number of sheets" input value display field 162 for displaying the number of payouts per unit to display the number of payouts per unit that has been input. FIG. 8 shows a case where “10” is input as the number of payouts per unit and this is displayed in the “number of sheets” input value display field 162.

In this way, when the number of units and the number of payouts per unit are input, the management device control unit 34 automatically calculates the amount of money per unit from the input value and displays it in the "amount" display field 163. At the same time, the total amount of all units is automatically calculated from the input value and displayed in the "total amount" display field 164. In FIG. 8, the amount of money per unit is 1000 yen x 10 sheets of 10000 yen, which is displayed in the "amount" display column 163, and the total amount of all units is 1000 yen x 30 sheets of 30000 yen. It shows the case where this is displayed in the "total amount" display column 164.

At the same time, the management device control unit 34 is stored in the storage unit 35 of the gift certificate management device 16 as management data including the fact that the replenishment process has been replenished to the transaction storage 13 and that the withdrawal process has not been paid out. Of the loose tickets S (b), which is a fraction (that is, less than 200) that is not in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) in the gift certificate S with a face value of 1,000 yen. Search for the smallest ticket number in the ticket number group. Taking FIG. 8 as an example, the ticket number identified by searching is "30000501", and the management device control unit 34 displays the ticket number in the "first ticket number" display field 167.

Along with this, the management device control unit 34 also includes a group of ticket numbers of the loose tickets S (b) that are not in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) in the gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen in the management data. The smallest ticket number is set as the first, and the ticket numbers are counted in order to search for the 30th smallest ticket number, which is the last of the total number of 30 tickets for 3 units and 10 tickets to be paid out. Taking FIG. 8 as an example, the ticket number identified by searching is 30000501 + 30-1 = "3000530", and the management device control unit 34 displays the ticket number in the "last ticket number" display field 168.

As described above, when the operation display unit 31 performs the payout operation with a fractional number of gift certificates S, the smallest ticket number of the loose ticket S (b) managed by the management device control unit 34 and the storage unit 35 is displayed. Both the ticket number obtained by adding the fractional number to the smallest ticket number and subtracting 1 are displayed on the operation display unit 31.

In addition, here, the case where there is no missing number in the ticket numbers of "30000501" to "3000530" is illustrated. In this case, 30 is added to the first searched ticket number "30000501" and 1 is subtracted. That is, by adding 29, the final ticket number "3000530" is obtained.

Here, if there is one missing number, for example, the ticket number "30000502" among the ticket numbers of "30000501" to "3000530", the ticket number is shifted by that amount and the "last ticket number" is changed. It becomes "30000531" and is displayed in the "last ticket number" display field 168. In addition, if there are two missing numbers, for example, ticket numbers "3000510" and "300000511", the ticket numbers are shifted by these numbers, and the "last ticket number" becomes "30000532", which is the "last". It will be displayed in the "ticket number" display field 168.

Then, when the "payout" button 176 is pressed in this state, the management device control unit 34 displays a confirmation screen as a pop-up screen on the gift certificate payout screen 151 that has been displayed up to that point. When the "confirmation" button on the confirmation screen is pressed, a payout instruction signal including 30 cards, which is the total number of gift certificates S to be paid out, is output to the gift certificate payout device 15.

Then, the payout device control unit 24 of the gift certificate payout device 15 operates the counting payout unit 22 to pay out the gift certificates S set in the slot 21 one by one to the payout outlet 23 in order from the bottom, and give a payout instruction. When the payout operation of the predetermined number of gift certificates S included in the signal is normally completed, the counting payout unit 22 is stopped. As a result, the loose ticket S (b) of the gift certificate S having a face value of 1,000 yen is paid out to the payout port 23 in numerical order from the gift certificate S having the smallest ticket number. At the same time, the payout device control unit 24 outputs a signal to the gift certificate management device 16 to the effect that the payout is normally completed.

Then, the management device control unit 34 causes the operation display unit 31 to display the extraction guidance of the gift certificate S. Then, the operator takes out the gift certificate S at the payout port 23 of the gift certificate payout device 15 according to this guidance. At this time, the operation display unit 31 displays "number of units" input value display field 161, "number of sheets" input value display field 162, "amount" display field 163, "total amount" display field 164, and "first ticket number". The gift certificate withdrawal screen 151 in a state where the above numerical values are displayed is displayed in the column 167 and the "last ticket number" display column 168, respectively.

Therefore, the operator has the minimum ticket number of the gift certificate S taken out from the payout port 23 of the gift certificate payout device 15 and the ticket number displayed in the "first ticket number" display field 167 of the operation display unit 31. While visually performing collation and matching, visually check the collation and matching between the maximum ticket number of the gift certificate S taken out from the payout exit 23 and the ticket number displayed in the "last ticket number" display field 168 of the operation display unit 31. If the gift certificate S taken out from the payout port 23 is not dirty, broken, torn, or otherwise defective, the gift certificate S is handed over to the customer for sale.

Further, as described above, when the payout device control unit 24 outputs a signal indicating that the payout is normally completed, the management device control unit 34 has already replenished the transaction storage 13 with respect to the replenishment process. And, of the management data including the fact that the payout process has not been paid out, the management data of the gift certificate S paid out in the current payout process is rewritten to the information that the payout process has been paid out, and the current payout process. The transaction number corresponding to the above and the date and time information when the current withdrawal process is completed are added and stored in the storage unit 35. As a result, it becomes possible to manage the withdrawal of the gift certificate S from the transaction storage 13.

In this way, when the operator inputs necessary items to the operation display unit 31 during the payout process, the management device control unit 34 sends the first ticket number and the last ticket number to be paid out to the operation display unit 31. Since it is automatically displayed, the operator visually checks the ticket number attached to the gift certificate S with the ticket number displayed on the operation display unit 31 as a check before handing the gift certificate S to the customer. You will be able to do it.

After that, when the "end" button 172 is pressed, the management device control unit 34 pays the management data rewritten by the printer 33 into the information that the payout has been completed in the current payout process, that is, the payout in the current payout process. The information about the issued gift certificate S is printed on the paper.

FIG. 9 shows a state in which the selection tab 153 for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen is pressed and selected, and the “manual payment” display field 156 is displayed more clearly than the “machine payment” display field 155. The gift certificate payout screen 191 of the above is shown. The gift certificate payout screen 191 displays a "number of sheets" input value display field 192 for displaying the input value of the number of payouts of the gift certificate S, a "amount" display field 193 for displaying the payout amount, and the total amount of payout. The "total amount" display field 194 and the like are included.

In addition, the gift certificate withdrawal screen 191 displays the "first ticket number" input value display field 195 for displaying the input value of the minimum ticket number of the gift certificate S to be paid out, and the maximum ticket number of the gift certificate S to be paid out. Input operation unit 201 for performing input operations in the "last ticket number" display field 196, the "number of sheets" input value display field 192, and the "first ticket number" input value display field 195, and the "end" button 202. , The "exclude" button 203, the "cancel" button 204, the "replenishment" button 205, and the "payout" button 206.

The input operation unit 201 has a ten-key unit 211 operated when inputting a number, a number display field 212 for displaying the number input by the ten-key unit 211, and when erasing the number input by the ten-key unit 211. The "CE" button 213 to be operated, the "ticket number" button 215 to be pressed when inputting the minimum ticket number of the gift certificate S to be paid out, and the "number of sheets" button 216 to be pressed when inputting the number of payouts. Includes.

Specifically, for example, when 10 gift certificates S having a face value of 500 yen are paid out on the gift certificate payout screen 191, the operator is for the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen as shown in FIG. Press the selection tab 153 to select. Then, the management device control unit 34 makes the "manual payment" display field 156 clearer than the "machine payment" display field 155, and clearly indicates that the payment is manual payment.

Then, the operator inputs the number of payouts using the input operation unit 201. That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 211 of the input operation unit 201 to input the number of payouts, and while checking the display of the input number of payouts in the number display field 212, presses the "number" button 216. To do. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the management device control unit 34 displays the input number of payouts in the "number" input value display field 192 of the number of payouts. FIG. 9 shows a case where "10" is input as the number of payouts and this is displayed in the "number of sheets" input value display field 192.

When the number of payouts is input in this way, the management device control unit 34 automatically calculates the amount from the input value and displays it in the "amount" display field 193 and the "total amount" display field 194. FIG. 9 shows a case where the amount of money is 500 yen × 10 sheets of 5000 yen, and this is displayed in the “amount” display column 193 and the “total amount” display column 194.

At the same time, the management device control unit 34 is stored in the storage unit 35 of the gift certificate management device 16 as management data including the fact that the replenishment process has been replenished to the transaction storage 13 and that the withdrawal process has not been paid out. The management data is read out, and the number of loose tickets S (b) that is a fraction (that is, less than 200) that is not in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) in the gift certificate S with a face value of 500 yen. Search for the smallest ticket number in the group of ticket numbers. Taking FIG. 9 as an example, the ticket number identified by searching is "10000401", and the management device control unit 34 displays the ticket number in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195.

Here, the ticket number in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195 can be changed and input. For example, from among the loose tickets S (b) having a face value of 500 yen, which are stored in the transaction storage 13 in the order of number tickets, the operator has the smallest ticket number at the beginning. Take out 10 sheets, collate the ticket number with the smallest ticket number at the beginning with the ticket number displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195, and if they are different, press the input operation unit 201. Enter using.

That is, the operator operates the numeric keypad 211 of the input operation unit 201 to input the ticket number having the smallest ticket number at the beginning, and confirms the display of the input ticket number in the number display field 212. While pressing the "ticket number" button 215. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the management device control unit 34 displays the input ticket number in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195 that displays the ticket number of the smallest ticket number. ..

Further, the management device control unit 34 is stored in the storage unit 35 of the gift certificate management device 16 as management data including the fact that the replenishment process has been replenished to the transaction storage 13 and that the withdrawal process has not been paid out. The management data is read out, and it is displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195 from the group of ticket numbers of the loose ticket S (b) in the gift certificate S having a face value of 500 yen. The 10th smallest ticket number, which is the 10th number to be paid out, is searched for by counting in order, with the ticket number being the first. Taking FIG. 9 as an example, the ticket number identified by searching is 100000401 + 10-1 = "100000410", and the management device control unit 34 displays the ticket number in the "last ticket number" display field 196.

Here, too, an example is shown in which the ticket numbers of "10000401" to "100040010" have no missing numbers. In this case, 10 is added to the first searched ticket number "10000401" and 1 is subtracted. That is, the last ticket number "100000410" is obtained by adding 9 to the first ticket number.

Here, if there is one missing number, for example, the ticket number "10000405" among the ticket numbers of "10000401" to "100040010", the ticket number is shifted by that amount and the "last ticket number" is ". It will be "10000411" and will be displayed in the "last ticket number" display field 196. Further, if there are two missing numbers, for example, ticket numbers "10000405" and "10000406", the ticket numbers are shifted by these numbers and the "last ticket number" becomes "10000412", which is the "last". It will be displayed in the "ticket number" display field 196.

Then, when the "payout" button 206 is pressed in this state, the management device control unit 34 includes a display to confirm as a pop-up screen on the gift certificate payout screen 191 that has been displayed so far. A confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed, and when the "confirmation" button on the confirmation screen is pressed, the operation display unit 31 displays the gift certificate S payout guidance.

At this time, in the operation display unit 31, the "number of sheets" input value display field 192, the "amount" display field 193, the "total amount" display field 194, the "first ticket number" input value display field 195, and the "last ticket" The gift certificate withdrawal screen 191 with the above numerical values displayed is displayed in the "number" display column 196. Therefore, the operator has taken out the gift certificate from the transaction storage 13 as described above for the withdrawal. The minimum ticket number of the 100-yen loose ticket S (b) is visually collated and matched with the ticket number displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195 of the operation display unit 31, and is used for transactions. The maximum ticket number of the loose ticket S (b) with a face value of 500 yen taken out from the storage 13 as described above, and the ticket number displayed in the "last ticket number" display field 196 of the operation display unit 31. Collation and matching are performed visually, and if these gift certificates S are not dirty, broken, or torn, the gift certificates S are handed over to the customer for sale.

Further, as described above, when the "confirmation" button is pressed on the confirmation screen which is the pop-up screen after the "payout" button 206 is pressed, the management device control unit 34 stores the data for transaction regarding the replenishment process. Of the management data including the fact that it has been replenished to the warehouse 13 and the fact that it has not been paid out regarding the payout process, the management data of the gift certificate S that has been paid out is rewritten to the information that the payout process has been paid out, and this issue is made. The transaction number corresponding to the processing and the date and time information when the current withdrawal processing is completed are added and stored in the storage unit 35.

In this way, when the operator inputs necessary items to the operation display unit 31 during the payout process, the management device control unit 34 obtains the last ticket number from the first ticket number to be paid out and obtains the last ticket number from the operation display unit 31. As a check before handing the gift certificate S to the customer, the operator visually checks the ticket number attached to the gift certificate S and collates it with the ticket number displayed on the operation display unit 31. Will be able to.

As described above, when the "Finish" button 202 is pressed after the "Confirm" button is pressed on the confirmation screen, which is the pop-up screen after the "Payout" button 206 is pressed, the management device control The unit 34 prints the management data rewritten by the printer 33 to the effect that it has been paid out in the current payout process, that is, the information regarding the gift certificate S paid out in the current payout process on the paper.

In the above, when the number of gift certificates S that is less than the state of the ticket bundle S (a) (that is, less than 200) is paid by machine for a face value of 1,000 yen and by hand for a face value of 500 yen. Of course, it is also possible to pay out the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) (200 sheets) as it is.

As an example, in the case of an operation of manually paying 200 gift certificates S having a face value of 500 yen in the state of the ticket bundle S (a), the operator has a gift certificate with a face value of 1,000 yen as shown in FIG. From the selection tab 152 for S and the selection tab 153 for the gift certificate S with a face value of 500 yen, the selection tab 153 for the gift certificate S with a face value of 500 yen is selected and operated, and the input operation unit 201 is used to select "number of sheets". Enter "200" in the input value display field 192. Then, the management device control unit 34 performs an operation to display 100,000 yen in the "amount" display field 193 and the "total amount" display field 194.

At the same time, the operator inputs the smallest ticket number (for example, "20000001") at the beginning of the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) in the "first ticket number" input value display field 19. .. Then, the management device control unit 34 adds the management data of the ticket bundle S (a) having a face value of 500 yen, including the fact that the replenishment processing has been replenished to the transaction storage 13 and the fact that the withdrawal processing has not been paid out. If the minimum ticket number is "20000001", the largest ticket number of the ticket bundle S (a) automatically obtained in the "last ticket number" display field 196 (for example, "20000200") Will be displayed.

As described above, the operation display unit 31 performs a payout operation for a predetermined number of gift certificates S, and the most unpaid bundled gift certificates S managed by the management device control unit 34 and the storage unit 35. When a small ticket number is input as the first ticket number, the management device control unit 34 operates and displays the largest ticket number of the gift certificate S in the bundled state managed by the storage unit 35 as the last ticket number. Displayed in unit 31.

On the other hand, when an incorrect ticket number (for example, "20000002") that is not the smallest ticket number at the beginning of the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) is input, or when the ticket bundle S (a) When a ticket number in the group of ticket numbers of the loose ticket S (b) that is less than the state is input, the management device control unit 34 indicates that the transaction storage 13 has been replenished for the replenishment process and the payout process. By collating with the management data of the ticket bundle S (a) having a face value of 500 yen including the fact that the ticket has not been paid out, the inconsistency due to the erroneous operation is recognized, and the operation display unit 31 "enters the wrong ticket number. The alarm display "Please enter the smallest ticket number at the beginning of the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a)." Will be displayed.

Further, similarly to the above-mentioned "receipt process" and "replenishment process", in the case of "payout process", it is possible to cancel the payout process performed immediately before. In that case, for example, when the "Cancel" button 174 is pressed on the gift certificate payout screen 151 in which the selection tab 152 for the gift certificate having a face value of 1,000 yen is selected, the management device is controlled. As shown in FIG. 10, the unit 34 switches the display of the operation display unit 31 to the cancellation confirmation screen 221 that displays the information of the immediately preceding payout process.

The cancellation confirmation screen 221 has a "transaction number" display field 222 that displays the transaction number of the immediately preceding payout process, a "number of units" display field 223 that displays the number of units to be paid out in the immediately preceding payout process, and the immediately preceding payout process. The total of the "number of sheets" display column 224 that displays the number of payouts per unit, the "amount" display column 225 that displays the payout amount per unit of the previous payout process, and the total number of payouts of the previous payout process. The "total amount" display field 226 that displays the amount, the "first ticket number" display field 227 that displays the minimum ticket number of the gift certificate S that was paid out in the previous payout process, and the product that was paid out in the previous payout process. It has a "last ticket number" display field 228 that displays the maximum ticket number of the ticket S.

Further, the cancellation confirmation screen 221 has a "cancel" button 231 and a "back" button 232. When the "Cancel" button 231 of the cancellation confirmation screen 221 is pressed, the management device control unit 34 executes the payout cancellation process, and the management data stored in the storage unit 35 when the immediately preceding payout process is performed. The information regarding the payout process is changed from paid out to unpaid, the transaction number and the date and time information of the payout process are deleted, and the printer 33 prints this information on the paper. When the withdrawal cancellation process is not executed, the operator presses the "back" button 232 on the cancellation confirmation screen 221. Then, the management device control unit 34 returns the display of the operation display unit 31 to the gift certificate payout screen 151 without changing the management data.

[Exclusion process]
At the time of the payout process, especially in the case of machine payment, the gift certificate payout device 15 separates the gift certificate S one by one, takes them out from the slot 21, and pays them out to the payout port 23. For example, it is rare that an abnormality in taking in or an abnormality in feeding out occurs, so that the gift certificate S becomes dirty, or a problem such as breakage or tearing occurs.

In such a case, the operator presses the "exclude" button 173 on the gift certificate payout screen 151, or presses the "exclude" button 203 on the gift certificate payout screen 191. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the management device control unit 34 causes the operation display unit 31 to display the exclusion screen 241.

Further, when the operation display unit 31 performs a payout operation with a fractional number of gift certificates S, the smallest ticket number of the loose ticket S (b) managed by the management device control unit 34 and the storage unit 35 and this Both the ticket number obtained by adding the fractional number to the smallest ticket number and subtracting 1 are displayed on the operation display unit 31. In this way, when the loose gift certificate S is paid out, the first ticket number and the last ticket number are automatically displayed on the operation display unit 31, so that the gift certificate at the time of payout is automatically displayed. The spot check of S is possible by the ticket number.

In addition, the operation display unit 31 performs a payout operation for a predetermined number of gift certificates S, and the smallest ticket number of the bundled gift certificate S managed by the management device control unit 34 and the storage unit 35 is the first. When the ticket number is input, the largest ticket number of the gift certificate S in the bundled state managed by the management device control unit 34 and the storage unit 35 is displayed on the operation display unit 31 as the last ticket number. In this way, when the first ticket number is input when the gift certificate S in the bundled state is paid out, the last ticket number is automatically displayed on the operation display unit 31, so that the payout can be performed. It is possible to check the actual gift certificate S at the time by the ticket number.

Further, when it is confirmed that the inventory of the gift certificate S in the transaction storage 13 does not match the actual ticket number and the inventory ticket number stored in the storage unit 35, the operation display unit 31 performs the mismatch. It is possible to perform a rewashing operation that corrects all of the gift certificates S for which is confirmed to match. Therefore, even if the gift certificate S with the wrong ticket number is handed over to the customer, the ticket number stored in the storage unit 35 for the gift certificate S in the remaining inventory by the rewashing operation is the correct actual item. It is possible to correct the ticket number of the gift certificate S.

In addition, when the operation display unit 31 performs a rewashing operation, when an attempt is made to correct a ticket number other than the gift certificate S ticket number stored in the storage unit 35 before the start of the transaction on the day. The management device control unit 34 detects this and causes the operation display unit 31 and the voice output unit 32 to issue a warning. In this way, if a ticket number that cannot be corrected is input during the rewashing operation, a warning is issued, so that the operator can be made aware of the operation error.

Further, since the operation display unit 31 can perform an exclusion process of excluding the input ticket number of the gift certificate S from the payout target, when the gift certificate S is found to be defective (dirty, torn, etc.), the product is concerned. The ticket S can be excluded from the payout target, and the ticket number of the gift certificate S can be managed.

The above embodiment can be changed as in the following modifications 1 and 2.

"Modification example 1"
When paying out in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) (200 sheets), as described above, the state of the ticket bundle S (a) (200 sheets) is displayed in the "first ticket number" input value display field 195. I explained that you should enter the smallest ticket number (for example, "20000001") at the beginning of the gift certificate S, but this is at the gift certificate counter of the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a). It is assumed that there are multiple bundles in stock. Therefore, if the management device control unit 34 can recognize from the management data of the storage unit 35 that the stock of the gift certificate S in the state of the ticket bundle S (a) at the gift certificate counter is only one bundle, "first The minimum ticket number of the bundle of gift certificates S stored in the storage unit 35 is displayed as the "first ticket number" input value without requiring an operation input in the "ticket number" input value display field 195. It may be automatically displayed in the column 195 and the maximum ticket number may be automatically displayed in the "last ticket number" display column 196.

"Modification 2"
When the loose ticket S (b) in the loose state (less than 200 sheets) is paid out, if the gift certificate S in the loose state is out of stock at the gift certificate counter, a display to that effect or a ticket bundle S (a) The operation display unit 31 may display a display indicating that the gift certificate S in the state (200 sheets) needs to be paid out separately.

In the above description, as an embodiment of the cash voucher management system, the gift certificate management system 11 that handles the gift certificate S as gold vouchers has been described as an example, but if a ticket number for identification is attached, the gift certificate S will be used. Not limited to this, it can be applied to various money ticket management systems that handle other money tickets.

In addition, the menu of "gift certificate withdrawal", which is explained above, is basically a case where an order is received from a customer who visits the store, the gift certificate is withdrawn on the spot, and the product is sold to the customer. .. However, not limited to this, there are cases where the customer applies for a purchase reservation of the gift certificate S by telephone or the like, and the purchase comes after the next day. In this case, if the withdrawal process is performed using the normal "gift certificate withdrawal" menu, there may be a problem that the sales amount of the gift certificate that is not sold on the day is recorded as data in the sales total of the day. Therefore, in response to this, a menu of "gift certificate reservation withdrawal" is provided. For example, for the gift certificate withdrawal screen 151 of FIG. 8 when the gift certificate S is withdrawn, the gift certificate S is reserved and paid out. The gift certificate reservation withdrawal screen 151A is as shown in FIG. 16, and the gift certificate reservation withdrawal screen for making a reservation withdrawal of the gift certificate S is opposed to the gift certificate withdrawal screen 191 of FIG. 9 when the gift certificate S is withdrawn. 191A is as shown in FIG.

That is, as can be seen by comparing FIGS. 8 and 16 or FIG. 9 and FIG. 17, only the name display on the menu screen differs between "gift certificate withdrawal" and "gift certificate reservation withdrawal". ing. That is, the content of the reservation withdrawal operation of the gift certificate S is the same as the content of the withdrawal operation of the gift certificate S described above, but the gift certificate S is paid out, but the sales are still at the stage of the purchase reservation application. Since there is no data, it will not be recorded in the sales total on the day, but will be recorded in an independent reservation total unlike this. That is, the payout data of the gift certificate S in the reservation payout operation is not recorded in the sales total, but is recorded in the reservation total. In addition, the gift certificate S that has been paid out is stored in a predetermined case so as to be distinguishable from the normal inventory, and is stored until the customer visits the store. In this way, the payout data of the gift certificate S in the reservation payout operation is not recorded in the sales total, but is recorded in the reservation total. Therefore, the payout data of the cash vouchers in the reservation payout operation for which sales are not made is sold. It can be prevented from being included in the total.

Then, when the customer who has applied for the purchase reservation of the gift certificate S described above comes to the store and applies for the purchase of the reserved gift certificate S, the operator displays the inventory management menu screen of the operation display unit 31 of the gift certificate management device 16. Select the "Aggregate" menu from, and then select "Reservation Aggregation" from the "Aggregate" menu. Then, the reservation reception number corresponding to the customer who has processed the application for purchase reservation or the gift certificate data list for each customer's name and the total gift certificate data total of these are displayed on the operation display unit 31. It has become.

Subsequently, when the operator selects the reservation reception number corresponding to the customer who visited the store or the gift certificate data of the customer's name from the operation display unit 31 and further presses the sales button of the operation display unit 31, the selected product is selected. The ticket data is deleted from the "reservation total" screen, and the gift certificate data for that amount is subtracted from the total gift certificate data and displayed. Then, instead, the selected gift certificate data is recorded in the "sales total" on the day of sale. That is, when the data of the gift certificate S to be sold is selected from the reservation total, the data of the selected gift certificate S to be sold is replaced from the "reservation total" to the "sales total". As a result, the payout data of the gift certificate S for which sales have been made can be replaced from the "reservation total" to the "sales total".

Subsequently, the operator will hand over the gift certificate stored in the predetermined case corresponding to the reservation reception number or the customer's name to the customer in exchange for the price.

In addition, to add to the "inventory totaling", the gift certificate data for the reserved payment at the time of the reservation payment of the gift certificate S may be subtracted from the "inventory totaling". Or, when the gift certificate S is reserved and paid out, the gift certificate data for the reserved payment is not subtracted from the "inventory total", and only when the customer visits the store and presses the sales button, the "inventory" is displayed. It may be subtracted from "aggregation".

Further, if the case where the "reservation total" is printed by the printer 33 is also added, the "reservation total" as shown in FIG. 18 may be printed alone, or the "reservation total" as shown in FIG. It may be included in the printing of "inventory total" and printed.
