Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sales floor cash management system for improving the operational efficiency of cash cash prepared in a cash register of a sales floor, and in particular, a cash processing machine is connected to a cash register which is a terminal of a POS system. This system is suitable for a store having a plurality of registers such as a supermarket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a store having a plurality of cash registers, the operating funds A of the day are handed to each sales floor person before the business, the cash register B is closed after the sales work is finished, and the sales B is paid by the person in charge. It is collected after the deposit is confirmed by a predetermined deposit machine. That is, by distributing a predetermined operating fund A every day at each sales floor and collecting the sales amount B, the sales amount C (= B-A) of the day is normally paid or paid by a depositing machine or the like installed in the accounting department. Calculation has been confirmed.

In recent years, a system has been proposed in which a cash processing machine such as a coin dispenser is connected to a register of a POS system to automate the exchange of shopping prices and to improve the efficiency of business processing such as speeding up the payment of change. Has been done. JP-A-4-75
192 "Automatic payment / receipt device", JP-A-4-326496
The "commodity selling device" is a typical example of a conventional electronic cash register having a means for accepting a commodity price and a means for paying out change.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-322396 "POS System Report Creation Method", cash registers attached to a plurality of printers are connected to a store controller, and a plurality of types of reports can be printed in parallel. What has been done is disclosed.

In addition, in this type of system, after inputting the amount of goods by a well-known bar code scanner or manual input, the deposit money from the customer is input to the register, and when the change is paid, a cash processing machine. The change is automatically sent out from the company, and the deposit money is deposited in the cash processing machine after the transaction.

[0006] The reason why the person in charge of the cash register does not confirm the deposit from the cash automatic processor from the beginning, but the person in charge of the cash register manually inputs it is firstly confirmed visually by the person in charge of the cash register. This is because the time should be shortened as much as possible. Secondly, it is necessary to keep the deposit money in a place where the customer can see it until the transaction is completed and to prevent troubles. Thirdly, This is because even if the deposit money is deposited into a cash processing machine that requires a long deposit time after the transaction, the transaction itself is not affected.

In consideration of the above, in this type of system, the communication data transmitted between the cash register and the cash processing machine is composed of at least the following three pieces of information. (1) Change amount fixed at cash register From cash register to cash processor (2) Cash dispenser completion signal Cash processor to register (3) Cash processor trouble information Cash processor to cash register For cash management at the store, the cash amount forecasted based on the sales data by the register and estimated based on the past opening date results, and the bank deposit amount after closing and the denomination specification were created.

[0008]

In a system in which a cash processing machine is connected to a plurality of registers as described above, the cash management cannot be performed simply by putting cash in the drawer of the register, and therefore cash can be used as operating funds for the next day. Despite the necessity, there was a waste of collecting all cash stored in the register after the end of business and distributing operating funds separately in order to determine the sales amount. Since this collection process needs to be performed in a short time after the work is completed, a large number of register staff members concentrate on the overtime hours, which imposes a heavy cost burden.

Further, in a cash processor mainly for change payment, the cash balance in the processor increases with each transaction, but the small amount of cash required for change gradually decreases, and the cash required for change (particularly There is a problem that transactions will be interrupted due to a shortage of coins.

In order to avoid this problem, many small coins are stored in the cash processing machine. However, accommodating this large amount of small amount of money in a cash processing machine is disadvantageous in terms of efficiency of operating funds, and there is a problem that the efficiency of operating funds deteriorates as the number of registers held increases.

Further, conventionally, in the cash management at the distribution business, the cash amount forecast based on the sales data by the register and the past opening date result are estimated, and the amount of money deposited into the bank and the denomination specification after closing ( Or the amount of money to be paid to the in-house center and denomination details) and the amount of money to procure operational funds such as change from the next day and denomination details were created.

[0012] However, with this method, although it is possible to predict the sales amount, it is not possible to grasp the actual details of each cash denomination, and it is decided based on the intuition of the person in charge of accounting based on the past results. It was Therefore, while preparing the money to be deposited into the bank etc. from the sales collected during the collection process, there was a problem that the scheduled deposit details would be insufficient or surplus after closing.

Furthermore, since an interest rate effect can be obtained by speeding up the payment to a bank, etc., speeding up the payment is more thorough in the distribution business than in other business formats. Will have a great impact on. Therefore, it is necessary for the store to accurately predict the denomination specifications that are expected to be sold on the day. This prediction is made for the following items.

(1) The amount of 10,000 yen / 5,000 banknotes that cannot be used as operating funds on the next day. This is the basis for determining the deposit amount.

(2) Thousands of yen and coins that can be used as operating funds for the next day. This is the basis for determining whether the operating funds for the next day are sufficient.

In order to realize such a judgment, it is necessary to have a system for accurately grasping how many denominations of denominations actually exist in which register in the store, and sequentially managing the information. , Current systems do not have such an accurate grasp.

The present invention has been made in order to solve various problems as described above, and based on cash deposit / withdrawal data from a cash processing machine connected to a register, the amount / amount of cash in the register is real-time. We provide a sales floor cash management system that can manage cash in real time, monitor the status of shortfalls and excess funds, and appropriately perform sales forecasts and replenishment / collection for efficient in-store cash management. The purpose is to

Further, the present invention provides a sales floor fund management system capable of always grasping the storage amount of cash stored in a cash processing machine, in particular, the amount required for change, and appropriately replenishing the shortage. The purpose is to

According to the sales floor fund management system of the present invention, a plurality of registers installed in the sales floor, a cash processing machine connected to the registers for receiving and selling the sales price, and connected to the registers by communication means, A management computer that manages cash information for each of the plurality of registers; and a display unit that is connected to the management computer and that displays the amount and amount of cash in the plurality of registers managed by the management computer, A banknote that is provided with a management terminal that manages the amount and amount of cash in each register in real time, and that the management terminal has a limit operating fund setting for each register and cannot be used as operating funds for the next day. Is set as a reference value for collection, and registers that exceed the reference value are specified and displayed on the display unit together with the collection amount. And butterflies.

In this sales floor cash management system, the cash processing machine must have a storage unit for storing the amount of money stored for change, and a storage unit for calculating the amount of money stored each time a withdrawal is made, and the amount is not less than a preset amount. And an output unit that outputs a replenishment request signal when the amount becomes less than a preset amount, and the register is the replenishment request signal from the cash processing machine. It is preferable to include a display unit for displaying, and a transmission unit for transmitting the register identification symbol and the replenishment detailed information to the management computer after replenishment.

[0021]

According to the sales floor cash management system of the present invention, cash deposit / withdrawal data from the cash processing machine connected to the register is transmitted to the management computer of the store via the cash register, and the cash amount in the cash register is based on this data.・ Since the amount is managed in real time and the sales amount is managed immediately and the status of shortage and excess operating funds is monitored, it is possible to eliminate labor-intensive work after the end of work and perform efficient in-store management. Becomes

Further, this system constantly calculates the amount of cash stored in the cash processing machine, particularly the amount of money required for change, and is installed in a place where transaction contents are different due to many sales floors. The transaction status is transmitted to the register side with a predetermined amount for each denomination (depending on the transaction date) set for each register, and at the same time an output such as a display prompting the person in charge of the register to take measures such as replenishment and a request for replenishment are made. Since it is done through the register, it is possible to avoid business suspension due to lack of change.

[0023]

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of devices installed in a sales floor used in a sales floor cash management system according to the present invention, and is assumed to be a supermarket register. A register terminal 1 operated by a staff member is provided in front of the staff member's fixed position, and a bar code reader 4 for inputting a product code to the register terminal device 1 is installed beside the staff member's fixed position. Further, the banknote processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 are connected to the register terminal in order to process the money received from the customer. The input / output port 28 of the banknote processing machine 2 and the input port 3a of the coin processing machine 3 are arranged at positions where a register person can easily insert a banknote or a coin received from a customer. A set of these register terminals 1,
The bill processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 form a processing station 10.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a sales floor fund management system according to the present invention.

The register terminal 1 includes an input unit 11 such as a keyboard for inputting data, a storage unit 13, a control unit 12 for controlling the whole, a display unit 14 for notifying an attendant and a customer of the input status, etc. Printing section 1 for printing receipts
5. An interface unit 16 for connecting to a computer to be described later is provided. In addition to a number of processing stations of the processing station 10 ₁ which is shown here (to 10 _N)
There is one or more in each sales floor, and many register terminals are installed in the entire store. Although not shown, it is also possible to connect an external processor for processing gift certificates other than cash.

The register terminal 1 is connected via an interface 21 to a store computer 20 which manages each register terminal in the store. The store computer 20 is connected to the management terminal 30 via the interface unit 22. The management terminal 30 includes an input unit 31 for inputting data, a control unit 32 for performing various calculations, storage, command output, etc., and a display unit 33 for performing necessary display. The management terminal 30 exchanges data with the store computer 20 to receive cash information of each register, obtain cash replenishment / collection information for each register according to a predetermined algorithm, and store the cash information in the store computer 20. Update cash data for each register.

A monitoring terminal 40 is connected to the store computer 20. The monitoring terminal 40 monitors the sales situation in the store, as described later.

In such a system, when a customer purchases a product, the person in charge of register causes the price of the product to be read by the bar code reader, and if the amount displayed on the display screen of the register terminal 1 is correct, the confirmation key is pressed. Push. In addition, the cashier in charge inserts the bills and coins issued by the customer into the bill handling machine 2 and the coin handling machine 3 connected to the cash register terminal 1, respectively, according to the displayed amount. The banknote processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 confirm the denomination, damage, etc. of the inserted banknotes and coins, and send the information to the control unit 12 of the register, and the control unit 12 calculates the difference between the purchase amount and the deposit amount. , The banknote processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 are instructed to dispense the required change, and the change is discharged. At the same time, the change is given to the customer together with the receipt printed out from the printing unit of the register terminal, and the transaction ends.
The data between the register 1, the bill processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 in the above processing is sent to the store computer 20 through the interface 16 and further processed by the store computer 20. It is used as management information in. The operations of the bill processing machine 2 and the coin processing machine 3 will be described later.

FIG. 3 shows the register 1 by the management terminal 30.
The example of the screen display which shows the mode of cash management in the cash processing machines 2 and 3 connected to FIG. This example shows the current status and closing status of each opening register on the day. To be more specific, the "operating fund" column is the amount invested as operating funds, which is the change fund before the start of business, the "current sales" column is the cash amount information held by each register at the display time,
The “current amount” column shows the amount of money at the display time, that is, the total amount of operating funds and current sales.

The left half of FIG. 3 shows the money amount at the display time of each denomination in the cash processing machine, and the bottom column shows the total of each item. It is shown in real time whether there are individual items.

In the Z column of the table, a circle indicates that the register has been closed, and other (-) indicates that the register is still open. This register closing information is based on the information notified from the register 1 to the store computer 20, and the Z column of all the registers becomes a closed state to close the store, and at this time, the bottom column of the “current sales amount” column is displayed. The amount in the "Total" column is the total sales amount for the day.

From this screen, the sales situation in the store can be accurately grasped. That is, what is displayed on this screen is
It is not the apparent sales information in the register but the scrutinized value by the cash processing machine, and the accuracy of confirmation of the sales cash (in-kind) is the same as that by the conventional back-processing payment machine.

In this respect, conventionally, the cash after the cash register is closed is fixed for each cashier in charge by the backward settlement machine, so that the sales amount cannot be accurately grasped until after the business ends,
This is in contrast to the problem with the operation of in-store funds.

Since the sales amount for each register can be accurately grasped as in this embodiment, it becomes possible to manage which register sales are good or bad for the prediction, as will be described later.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining another management function of the management terminal 4, showing the details of operating funds for each register at this time and the total (upper row), and the timing of cash replenishment and collection for each register. The limit operating capital setting (lower row) to be judged is shown. On this screen, in addition to inputting the operating funds to each register and inputting the replenishment / recovery setting value, it is possible to change it freely. Of course, when inputting or changing the result, the result is sent to the store computer 20. However, the cash information in the corresponding register can be corrected. In this example, the operating fund specification of the register number 10004 and the setting specification value indicating the replenishment / collection timing are shown. As the set value, a reference value for collecting 5000 yen bills and 10,000 yen bills, and a reference value for replenishing 1,000 yen bills and coins are displayed. In other words, the banknotes (10,000 yen, 5,000 yen) for which the current value of each denomination sucked up by the cash processing machine for each register was judged to have exceeded the set value were collected, and the banknotes judged to have fallen below the set value. It means that bills and coins will be replenished. Note that this display is possible for all open registers. Further, the total amount of the operating fund details of FIG. 4 is the register 10004 on the screen of FIG.
It is reflected in the operational fund amount column of.

FIG. 5 is an example of a screen display showing the instruction contents of replenishment and recovery, and shows the replenishment amount for each denomination in the register to be replenished and the recovery amount in the register to be replenished. The person in charge of the management terminal monitors the screen of FIG. 5 in a predetermined cycle, and issues a collection / replenishment instruction to the person in charge of traveling in accordance with the contents displayed on the screen at the time of the next round of register travel. The example of FIG. 5 shows that, for example, the register 10004 should be replenished with 20 pieces of 1,000 yen and 15, 50, and 50 pieces of 500, 100, and 10 yen at the time of circulating the register at 13:30. By inputting the replenishment time from the management terminal 30, the instruction information is output as a list to the terminal (not shown) for the register patroller. At the same time, the register 1002
The instruction to collect 15 ten-thousand tickets for 1 is also given at the time of visiting the register at 13:30. In this way, the cash held in the register can be sequentially monitored and the replenishment / collection can be efficiently performed according to the preset denomination specification for each register, and the efficiency of fund management can be promoted.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the processing status in the bill processing machine and the coin processing machine.

The operating money is stored in the cash processing machine at the initial stage such as when the store is opened (step S101). This storage can be performed by, for example, pressing the "replenishment" key and performing control so as to distinguish it from the payment by transaction. The stored cash is counted and discriminated, and information such as the number of coins of each type is stored as an initial value Aij (step S102). As a result, the transaction wait state is entered and the input waits for a change payment instruction from the register (step 103). When the change payment instruction from the connected register is received, the payment denomination and the number of payments that can be withdrawn with the minimum number of change payment instruction amounts are calculated (step S104). If the number of applicable denominations is insufficient, a smaller denomination than the applicable denomination will be used. Such change payment algorithms are well known. Next, the dispensing process is performed according to the denomination and the number of coins determined in this step (step S105). The withdrawn information at this time is Bij. Then, the withdrawn information Bij is subtracted from the initially stored money type information Aij to obtain the storage information Cij (= Aij-Bij), which is separately stored (step S106). When the change dispensing is completed, the completion of the dispensing is transmitted to the register (step S107).

Upon completion of the transaction, cash processing machine deposit processing of the price received from the customer by the input by the register person in charge is performed (step S108). At this time, the price information is counted and discriminated by the cash processor, and the deposit information Dij is reflected in the storage information Cij (= Cij + Dij). In this way, the cash storage information in the cash processing machine for each transaction is sequentially managed through the change withdrawal / payment, and the in-machine inventory Cij is constantly scrutinized. It is determined whether the processing is continued or ended depending on the presence or absence of the processing end instruction (step S109).

Next, the storage information Cij which is the amount of money in the cabin
Is confirmed every time one transaction is completed with the preset storage amount determination information Eij (hereinafter, set value). The storage amount determination information Eij is set based on the continuous average number of transactions.

In this confirmation, it is first judged whether or not the value is equal to or more than the set value n (step S110), and if all exceed the set value n, there is no hindrance to the transaction and the step S1.
After returning to 03, the transaction waits, but if at least one denomination falls, the average transaction will be m times (n
It is determined whether the transaction of> m) is continuously possible (step S111). If n transactions are not possible and m transactions are possible, a triangle is displayed on the screen (step S112), it is judged whether there is a replenishment instruction (step S113), and the instruction must be given. If step S10
Returning to step 3, if there is an instruction, supplementation is performed (step S1).
15). In this way, when the balance is a value between n and m, it is up to the manager to decide whether to replenish. For example, it is not always necessary to replenish when the store is about to be closed. On the other hand, when the balance is less than m, it is urgently necessary to replenish, so after the cross mark is displayed on the screen (step S114), immediately after step 1
It jumps to 15 and replenishment is performed. The above steps are continued until the processing end instruction is given.

7 to 10 show the display screen of the register, and FIG. 7 shows the transaction display mode, showing the change payment status in the transaction. Here, it is shown that the indicated number and the indicated amount of change are paid for each denomination. The meanings of the △ and × marks are as described above, and because they are displayed according to the type of money, it is possible that the cashier in the cash processing machine will be reduced and the transaction will be affected even during the transaction. You can let them know and let them do replenishment work.

FIG. 8 shows the money amount display mode, showing the current number of coins and the amount of money in each denomination, and it is possible to confirm which denomination has decreased and to what extent. The parts marked with a triangle and a cross are displayed differently from the others in order to call attention to the person in charge of the register. In the case of only the Δ mark, the transaction mode or the replenishment mode can be selected by the person in charge. However, if there is a cross, the next transaction cannot be resumed unless the next replenishment mode is entered.

FIG. 9 shows a screen when the replenishment switch is pressed once, and shows the setting mode of the storage amount determination standard. On this screen, the number of sheets set in advance for each denomination is displayed for each level of Δ and ×. This set value may be automatically set via a register, or may be set by the cash handling machine itself. The reason why such a free setting is possible is that the average purchase amount is different for each sales floor, and therefore the change pattern is also different.

FIG. 10 is a display screen when the replenishment mode is reached by pressing the replenishment switch one more time, and shows a state in which the clerk in charge is requested to replenish the denomination and the number of coins displayed on the screen. There is. Along with this, the register receives a replenishment request from the cash processing machine, communicates the register number and the replenishment details to the store computer (S / C) 20, and instructs the store computer (S / C) 20 to replenish the funds at the next register circulation.

As described above, the necessary cash is properly stored in the cash processing machine connected to the register, and efficient cash management becomes possible.

Further, by sending the replenishment request to the store computer through the register by the replenishment request function of the cash processing machine, the register person in charge can be displayed by displaying which register requires cash replenishment on the management terminal. There is no need to leave the register to pick up cash, or to call a patrol person by pressing a calling button to request cash, so that the user can concentrate on register work.

It is also possible to set an intermediate collection mode in which intermediate collection is carried out without waiting for the end of work when the storage amount exceeds a certain amount. In this mode, it is possible to set the midway collection judgment information in the same manner as the in-machine storage information so that the collection request can be made when the storage exceeds the setting.

Next, the function of the monitoring terminal 40 will be described.

The monitoring terminal 40 manages the opening / closing information as well as the product sales information of a plurality of registers connected to the store computer and the cash processing machine 3 for managing the sales price connected to the registers. It manages the total amount of money stored in the cash processing machine, the number of money types / amount, the amount of change funds received, a breakdown of denominations, etc. obtained through the register. Further, the monitoring terminal 4 is characterized by taking out cash information for each register stored and held in a storage device in the store computer and providing necessary information to an administrator. Less than,
Specific contents will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 11 shows an operation display screen of the sales monitoring terminal 40, in which numeric keys, function keys, next page key, previous page key, printer key and the like are displayed. These can be designated by clicking them with an indicator such as a mouse. Further, a function item and an operation example for obtaining this function item are displayed as individual operation guidance at the top of the screen. For example, by pressing the F1 key, it is possible to know the sales situation in the store. This individual operation guide can be added / deleted according to the items to be managed / monitored in the store.

FIG. 12 shows an example of output of the in-store sales status. The store computer 20 in the store at 16:00.
The total sales status of all the registers managed by is displayed. Information can be provided from the cash handling machine to the register by, for example, a method of automatically providing it at regular time intervals, a method of providing information in accordance with instructions from the register, or a method of providing information to the register for each transaction. Adaptation is possible by either method,
The lines in the performance graph are slightly different. In this example, a case where the information is provided at regular time intervals (fixed time) will be described. If the operation time is 16:25, it means that the latest information is provided at 16:00, and the sales data at the providing interval until 16:00 is displayed in a graph or table (in this example, (Graph display), the point at 16:00 is clearly indicated by a black circle or the like. Further, the actual amount of money stored in the cash processing machine in the store and the actual sales amount after subtracting the change fund provided to each register are output and displayed as numerical values. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately grasp the cash information in the store nearest when operating. In addition, based on past results (trends in sales over time on the next day, national holidays, and holidays), sales forecasts up to closing are automatically output, and the amount of money paid to banks after closing and the change payment on the next day The amount / borrowing amount from the bank can be accurately predicted.

FIG. 13 shows register number 10 after pressing the F2 key.
This is an example in which the sales status of a specific register is output by pressing 001.

Here, the register number, the nearest sales information at the time of operation, the sales record and forecast graph of the register,
At least one or more of the sales information providing time, the current amount of money, change payment, sales amount, deadline forecast, sales target and achievement forecast are output. In addition, the administrator has a display field in which this screen can be confirmed and special instruction contents can be input to the register patrol person. In this example, it can be confirmed that the register 10001 seems to be able to secure the planned sales and achieve the target sales amount by the time the store is closed, and it can be seen that change change and bill collection are necessary.

FIG. 14 shows an example in which the details for each register are output by pressing the F3 key. In addition to the operating status (opening information) of the installed registers in the store, the columns C1 to C9 show the number of coins of each type of money held in the cash processing machine connected to each register, and the column C10 shows cash register which is an on-board cash meter. Amount, change payment amount in column C11 (generic term for operating funds prepared and paid at the time of opening of store and supplementary operating funds paid during work), amount of sales (= C10-C11), column C in column C12
At 13, the achievement forecast for the sales target is displayed for each register. These values are created and predicted based on in-store cash information at the time closest to the time of the investigation, which is provided from each cash processing machine through the register at the time of operation. Therefore, the latest money type information of the operating funds of each register can be accurately grasped, and further, in which register the change is insufficient, and in which register there is unnecessary money (10,000 yen etc.) for working capital. The administrator can keep track of.
Further, the sales achievement status of each register can be grasped, and appropriate register management can be performed by giving necessary instructions to the registers that are far below the sales target.

In this example, an independent terminal is assumed as the sales monitoring terminal, but the management terminal shown in FIG. 1 may have the function of this monitoring terminal.

[0057]

As described above, according to the sales floor cash management system of the present invention, the amount of cash in the cash register can be calculated based on the cash deposit / withdrawal data from the cash processing machine connected to the cash register.
The amount is managed in real time, the sales amount is managed immediately, and the status of shortage and excess working capital is monitored.Therefore, labor-intensive collection and cash scrutiny after the end of business are eliminated, and efficient use of working capital is possible. It becomes possible to do.

Further, since the amount of money in each register can be grasped at all times, it is not necessary to use a payment depositing machine at the rear for confirming the sales, which was required in the past.

In addition, this system constantly calculates the amount of cash stored in the cash processing machine, in particular, the amount of money required for change, and indicates the tradeable state based on the predetermined reference amount set for each denomination. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of business stoppage due to lack of change because it is sent to the register and the output such as a display prompting the person in charge of the register to take measures such as replenishment and the request for replenishment are done, and it is possible to use the minimum required funds. It becomes possible to carry out cash processing operations.
