Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an overall outline of this embodiment.

The POS cashier 101 is a cash drawer type POS (Point of Sale) terminal, and a cashier (cashier) performs an input operation to store and manage a valuable medium 104 such as cash or a coupon in exchange for a product.

The POS server 102 is connected to a plurality of POS cash registers including the POS cash register 101, and when the cashier finishes the shift at the POS cash register 101, the sales information obtained by totaling all the sales results of the cashier within the shift. And the drawer ID described later is received from the POS cash register 101 and recorded.

The shift end receipt 103 is a tangible item (mainly a receipt) output from the POS cash register 101 when the cashier ends the shift, and is unique information based on the sales information, the shift time, the POS cash register 101, and the cashier in charge. (Drawer ID) is described.

The valuable medium 104 is cash (banknotes, coins) or coupons, which the cashier takes out from the POS cash register 101 and deposits it in the sales deposit machine 106.

The aggregation server 105 is connected to the POS server 102 and the sales deposit machine 106, and receives and records sales information and drawer ID from the POS server 102. When a sales information inquiry request is received from the sales deposit machine 106, which will be described later, the sales information is searched using the drawer ID as a key, and the result is transmitted to the sales deposit machine 106. The POS server 102 and the aggregation server 105 do not have to be physically separated. In that case, the POS server 102 and the aggregation server 105 may be operated as one server having both functions of the POS server 102 and the aggregation server 105.

The sales deposit machine 106 stores the sales amount processed in each shift by the cashier of the POS cash register 101 from the plurality of POS cash registers 101. The shift end receipt 103 brought by the cashier is read, and the drawer ID is transmitted to the aggregation server 105. The sales information corresponding to the corresponding drawer ID is received from the aggregation server 105, and the input of the valuable medium 104 is received from the cashier. At the time of insertion, the denomination, number of coins, and authenticity of each cash are identified, and if there is a valuable medium that could not be determined as a genuine ticket, it is returned to the cashier as a reject ticket (RJ ticket 108). After that, information such as the drawer ID, the payment result, and the difference from the sales information is transmitted to the aggregation server 105. The difference from the sales information mainly occurs when the RJ ticket 108 is generated. If all the valuable media 104 inserted by the cashier can be determined as true tickets, the RJ ticket 108 does not occur.

The sales deposit result receipt 107 is a tangible property (mainly a receipt) output from the sales deposit machine 106 after the cashier finishes the deposit process, and the drawer ID, the deposit result, and the drawer ID transmitted from the sales deposit machine 106 to the aggregation server 105. Sales information, difference from sales information, etc. are described.

The management terminal 109 is a terminal that is connected to the aggregation server 105 and is used by an administrator who manages sales payments. A device for reading the sales deposit result receipt 107 brought by the cashier who has completed the deposit process is provided, the drawer ID is transmitted to the aggregation server 105, and the deposit result and the sales information are received. If there is a difference from the sales information and the cashier brings the RJ ticket 108, the manager compares the difference with the sales information with the RJ ticket 108, and the total amount matches the sales information. If it is determined, that fact is transmitted to the aggregation server 105.

In this way, when depositing sales proceeds after the end of the shift, the cashier brings the output shift end receipt 103 and the valuable medium 104, which is the sales amount in the shift, to the sales deposit machine 106 as a set. It is possible to reliably match the sales amount received at the POS cash register 101 with the amount actually deposited at the sales deposit machine 106. In particular, even when the RJ ticket 108 is generated, the sales deposit result receipt 107 is further issued by the sales deposit machine 106. Therefore, by matching the sales deposit result receipt 107 with the RJ ticket 108, the manager Can efficiently match the amount of money that could not be deposited in the sales deposit machine 106 with the sales information, so that it is possible to easily and accurately confirm the sales amount that the cashier tried to deposit.

The valuable medium 104 and the RJ ticket 108 are housed in a cloth bag, a case, or a box (not shown), and the shift end receipt 103 and the sales deposit result receipt 107 are attached to those bags, or the receipt is gripped and held on the bag side. It is desirable from the viewpoint of security and efficiency to carry the receipt, the valuable medium 104, and the RJ ticket 108 in association with each other by providing a possible clip pocket or the like.

801 is the deposit time. 802 indicates an employee ID.

803 is the number of sheets for each denomination for which payment was actually confirmed by the sales deposit machine 106. Alternatively, the total amount for each denomination may be displayed or written together. 804 indicates the total amount of the deposit.

805 displays the difference between the number of sheets for each denomination to be deposited (705 in FIG. 7) and 803 as the number of sheets for each denomination. FIG. 8 shows that the denomination A is one less. Alternatively, it may be displayed as the total amount for each denomination, or may be written together.

In 806, the difference is described as an amount.

By looking at the sales deposit result receipt 107, the cashier can confirm whether or not the deposit of the difference (one denomination A) has been leaked.

If there is no omission of payment, the sales deposit machine 106 goes to the manager with one RJ ticket (denomination A) that could not be determined to be true. The administrator reads the barcode part of the drawer ID with the management terminal 109, and from the aggregation server 105, the sales information determined by the sales deposit machine 106, the sales deposit result receipt 107 match, and the sales deposit. By determining whether the difference (difference) of the result receipt 107 and the content of the RJ ticket 108 match, it is possible to easily manage and confirm the sales information. After the sales information is matched, the administrator may register the result of actually checking the RJ ticket 108 from the management terminal 109 to the sales information record DB. In order to ensure more accuracy, the cashier may bring both the shift end receipt 103 and the sales deposit result receipt 107 to the manager, and the manager may read and match both drawer IDs.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described examples, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiment has been described in detail in order to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and is not necessarily limited to the one including all the described configurations.
