BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sales amount determination system and a sales amount determination method, and more particularly, to a sales amount determination system and a sales amount determination method used for sales amount determination processing in a retail store such as a convenience store.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, sales amount determination processing for a retail store such as a convenience store is performed as follows, for example. That is, the retail store owner first brings all the cash in the POS register, that is, the sales amount for the previous day and the change money for the previous day to the bank. Next, the owner deposits the money he brought into the headquarters account. Or, it is installed in a store and deposits into a deposit machine operated by a security company. The headquarters confirms the payment to the account and determines the sales amount of the retail store.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, such sales amount determination processing has the following problems, for example.
[0004]
That is, since the owner of the retail store deposits all the cash in the POS register as described above, it is necessary to newly prepare change for the next day in the POS register. When the change stock runs short, the retail store orders money for change through its headquarters or independently from a cash handling company, such as a security company. The security company that received the order delivers the money of the order to the retail store, and the retail store replenishes the change. The headquarters pays the cash transportation costs to the security company. Here, if the number of orders is large, the cash transportation cost will increase accordingly. In particular, coins are bulky and heavy, and the cost of transporting cash is high. For this reason, the burden of change preparation was large for the headquarters or the owner of the store.
[0005]
On the other hand, when bank counters are crowded, it takes time to wait for the order of deposits, and it takes time to count the amount of sales even when depositing, so it takes time to deposit at banks. There are many. In addition, since the bank's business hours are limited to a predetermined time, there are significant restrictions on the time for depositing. In addition, there is a risk because the sales are taken out of the retail store to bring the sales to the bank. As a result, bank deposits were a heavy burden on the owner.
[0006]
In addition to this, the deposit process is complicated on the bank side, and the deposit process for sales is not preferable.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sales amount determination system and a sales amount determination method that can suppress a shortage of change as much as possible and simplify payment. It is to provide.

[0013]
The retail store 8 is a retail store such as a convenience store that sells products to customers, and is a chain store. Inside the cashier counter 11 of the retail store 8, a bill change machine 1, a coin change machine 2, and a POS register 3 are installed. An ATM 4 is installed outside the register counter 11.
[0014]
The POS register 3 is one terminal of the POS system. Here, the POS system collects the sales amount data at the time of sales of each retail store from the POS register installed in each retail store to the POS server in the headquarters, thereby efficiently managing the sales status of each retail store. Is going to be done. The POS system in the present embodiment includes a POS server 6 and a POS register 3 of each store connected to the POS server 6 via a communication line. The POS register 3 reads the product name, price, and quantity from the product, and calculates the change amount from the total amount of the product and the payment amount of the customer.
[0015]
Next, the bill change machine 1 is connected to the POS register 3 and installed. The coin change machine 2 is connected to the banknote change machine 1 and installed. The banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 are for performing banknote and coin entry / exit processing associated with the sale of merchandise at the retail store 8 or the like. The bill change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 are controlled by a POS register 3. For example, when a withdrawal instruction is received from the POS register 3, the change according to the instruction is discharged.
[0016]
In FIG. 2, the structure of the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 is shown concretely.
[0017]
First, the structure of the banknote change machine 1 will be described.
[0018]
The banknote change machine 1 includes a banknote deposit port 15 for inserting various banknotes (1000 yen bill, 2000 yen bill, 5000 yen bill, 10000 yen bill) and a banknote dispensing port 16 for discharging various banknotes as change. Moreover, the banknote change machine 1 includes an identification unit 17 that identifies a denomination of a banknote inserted from the banknote deposit port 15. Moreover, the banknote change machine 1 includes a reject box 18 that stores reject banknotes that cannot be recognized as banknotes by the identification unit 17. The reject box is not necessarily required, and it is also possible to adopt a mode in which it is dealt with by returning it to the banknote withdrawal port. Moreover, the banknote change machine 1 stores the banknotes that have been identified by the identification unit 17 in denominations, and carries out the stored banknotes when withdrawing or collecting, the first circulation stacker 19 and the second circulation stacker 20. And. The first circulating stacker 19 is used for 1000 yen bills, and the second circulating stacker 20 is used for 5000 yen bills or 2000 yen bills. The banknote change machine 1 stores 10,000 yen bills and includes a recovery cassette 21 for recovering banknotes stored in the first circulation stacker 19 and the second circulation stacker 20. The collection cassette 21 is detachably attached to the banknote change machine 1. The banknote change machine 1 also includes a storage unit 22 that stores the denominations and amounts of money stored in the first circulation stacker 19, the second circulation stacker 20, and the recovery cassette 21. Moreover, the banknote change machine 1 is provided with the control part 23 which controls the banknote change machine 1 whole. The control unit 23 is connected to a control unit (not shown) of the POS register 3 so as to receive various instructions from the POS register 3 and execute the contents of the instructions. For example, when the banknote change machine 1 receives a stock amount acquisition instruction from the POS register 3, the current banknote amount in the banknote change machine 1 is taken out from the storage unit 22 as the bank amount data, and the taken-out money position data is sent to the POS register 3. It is like that. Note that various data such as inventory data stored in the storage unit 22 may be managed by the POS register 3.
[0019]
Next, the coin change machine 2 which explains the configuration of the coin change machine 2 is a coin deposit which inputs various coins (1-yen coin, 50-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 100-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 500-yen coin). A mouth 25 and a coin dispensing port 26 for discharging various coins as change are provided. Moreover, the coin change machine 2 includes an identification unit 27 that identifies the denomination of a coin inserted from the coin deposit port 25. Further, the coin change machine 2 includes a sorting unit 28 that sorts the coins identified by the identifying unit 27 according to the shape thereof. The coin change machine 2 includes a denomination storage unit 31 that stores the coins selected by the selection unit 28 in denominations. Further, the coin change machine 2 includes a storage unit 29 that stores the denomination and amount of money stored in the denomination storage unit 31. Moreover, the coin change machine 2 has the control part 30 which controls the coin change machine 2 whole. The control unit 30 is connected to the control unit 23 of the banknote change machine 1. Thereby, the coin change machine 2 receives various instructions such as a withdrawal instruction and a stock amount acquisition instruction from the POS register 3 via the control unit 23 of the banknote change machine 1, and executes the contents of the instruction. . Note that various data such as cash amount data stored in the storage unit 29 may be managed by the POS register 3 via the banknote change machine 1.
[0020]
Next, an example of the money deposit / withdrawal process by the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 will be described as follows.
[0021]
First, the customer brings the merchandise to the cashier counter 11 and delivers the brought merchandise to the store clerk. The product code of the product delivered to the store clerk is read by the bar code reader of the POS register 3. When all the product codes are read and the content of the product is determined, the total amount is calculated by the POS register 3. The customer hands banknotes and coins to the store clerk, and the store clerk inserts these bills and coins into the banknote deposit slot 15 and the coin deposit slot 25, respectively. The inserted banknotes and coins are subjected to authenticity and denomination discrimination processing by the discriminating units 17 and 27, respectively. Then, the banknotes and coins are collected according to the denominations. The cassette 21 and coins are stored in the denomination storage unit 31. The change amount is calculated from the payment amount of the customer and the total amount of the goods by the POS register 3. The change amount data corresponding to the change amount is sent from the POS register 3 to the control unit 23 of the banknote change machine 1, and further sent from the control unit 23 to the control unit 30 of the coin change machine 2. Based on the change amount data, the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 pay out change from the banknote outlet and the coin outlet. The data in the storage units 22 and 29 is updated to the latest state. Note that the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 store banknotes and coins for change in advance.
[0022]
Next, ATM4 will be described. The ATM 4 is connected to the bank host computer 5. In ATM4, money is stored in advance by a cash handling company such as a security company.
[0023]
The ATM 4 first creates deposit instruction data corresponding to the accepted cash. Next, the ATM 4 transmits the created deposit instruction data to the bank host computer 5. The bank host computer 5 that has received the deposit instruction data updates the account of the deposit destination based on the deposit instruction data. The cash accepted by ATM 4 is stored inside.
[0024]
Next, the headquarters 9 is a department that supervises each retail store including the retail store 8. A POS server 6 is installed in the headquarters 9. As described above, the POS server 6 is for managing each POS register in the POS system, and is connected to the POS register 3 through a communication line.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 1, the POS server 6 can receive sales data at the retail store 8 from the POS register 3. Examples of the sales data include product name, price, quantity data, sales amount data, and the like. The sales amount includes not only the purchase and sale of merchandise, but also the revenue from commission income and miscellaneous income. Further, the POS server 6 can receive cash amount data as cash amount in each money storage unit in the bill change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 via the POS register 3. Specifically, the amount data includes the amount data of the first circulation stacker 19, the amount data of the second circulation stacker 20, the amount data of the collection cassette 21, and the amount data of the denomination storage unit 31. . The POS server 6 can receive these stock data from the POS register 3 by any means such as real-time processing or batch processing. Further, the POS server 6 manages the amount of change to be prepared and replenished in the POS register 3 as change preparation amount data for each day.
[0026]
On the other hand, the POS server 6 is connected to the bank host computer 5 via a communication line. As a result, the POS server 6 can receive the deposit information for the account of the head office 9 and other accounts (hereinafter referred to as the head office account) from the bank host computer 5. The POS server 6 may receive this payment information without going through a communication line. For example, the head office 9 may receive a medium in which the deposit information is accommodated, and the deposit information may be input to the POS server 6 via the medium.
[0027]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the sales amount determination process of the retail store 8.
[0028]
Based on FIGS. 3 and 1, the sales amount determination process of the retail store 8 will be described. In FIG. 1, a solid line arrow indicates a data flow, and a broken line arrow indicates a money flow.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 3, first, the sales amount of the previous day is calculated based on the sales amount data of the previous day (sales calculation period) (S1). This sales amount is divided into an amount that can be counted only with banknotes (amount equivalent to banknotes) and an amount that can be counted only with coins (amount equivalent to coins) (S2). For example, if it is 123,456 yen, it is divided into 123,000 yen and 456 yen. Of these, the banknote equivalent amount (123,000 yen in this case) is transported and recovered to the recovery cassette 21 (see FIG. 2), for example, with the minimum number of banknotes (banknote recovery process) (S3). That is, as described above, since the high-value banknotes are stored in the collection cassette 21 in advance, the necessary number of low-value banknotes is collected in the collection cassette 21. In the case of the above example, if 10 10,000 yen bills are already stored in the collecting cassette 21, the remaining 23,000 yen is, for example, 4 5000 yen bills and 3 1000 yen bills. Collect the minimum number of sheets. It should be noted that the present invention can naturally be implemented without collecting the minimum number of sheets. The low-value banknotes and all coins (including coins for 456 yen in the above example) that have not been collected are left in the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 as change for the day.
[0030]
As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 1, the POS server 6 receives the sales amount data of the retail store 8 on the previous day from the POS register 3 (S4 and (1)). Further, the POS server 6 receives from the POS register 3 the money balance data of the money storage unit in each of the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 (S5 and (1)). Specifically, the POS server 6 receives the stock amount data of the first circulation stacker 19 and the second circulation stacker 20, the collection cassette 21, and the money type storage unit 31.
[0031]
Next, the recovery cassette 21 is removed from the banknote change machine 1. A low-value bill and a high-value bill are taken out from the removed collection cassette 21. As can be seen from FIG. 3 and FIG. 1, the taken out low-value banknote and high-value banknote are deposited in the ATM 4 as part of the sales proceeds (S6 and (2)). The deposited cash is stored in ATM4. The ATM 4 transmits deposit instruction data corresponding to the deposited amount to the bank host computer 5 (S7 and (3)). The bank host computer 5 that has received the deposit instruction data performs a deposit process based on the deposit instruction data (S8). Specifically, the bank host computer 5 adds the deposit amount indicated in the deposit instruction data to the head office account. The bank host computer 5 that has performed the deposit processing transmits deposit result data as a result of the deposit processing to the POS server 6 (S9 and (4)). The POS server 6 that has received the payment result data, the sales amount data, and the stock balance data matches these data to determine the sales amount of the retail store 8 (S10). Specifically, the POS server 6 checks the following two expressions (A) and (B).
[0032]
・ Change amount data + sales amount data = Total amount data of the banknote change machine 1 (the amount data of the first circulation stacker 19 + the amount data of the second circulation stacker 20 + the amount data of the collection cassette 21) + Total stock data of coin change machine 2 (stock data of money storage unit 31) ··· Formula (A)
・ Payment result data = Revenue data of collection cassette 21 ・ ・ ・ ・ Formula (B)
First, Formula (A) will be examined.
[0033]
The change amount data indicates the total amount of change amount prepared and replenished to the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 as the previous day. The sales amount data indicates the previous day's sales amount. On the other hand, the amount data of the banknote change machine 1 (the amount data of the first circulation stacker 19 + the amount data of the second circulation stacker 20 + the amount data of the recovery cassette 21) is immediately after the banknote collection process (or The total amount of all banknotes in the banknote change machine 1 at the end of the sales calculation period). The balance data of the coin change machine 2 (the balance data of the money type storage unit 31) is the total amount of all coins in the coin change machine 2 immediately after the banknote collection process (or at the end of the sales calculation period). Show.
[0034]
Here, the amount obtained by adding the sales amount on the previous day's data to the change amount prepared and supplemented to the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 on the previous day is the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine at the end of the previous day. Is equal to the total amount of all the money present in 2. Therefore, Formula (A) is established. Thereby, the headquarters 9 can confirm that the sales amount as cash which actually exists in the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 matches the sales amount on the data.
[0035]
Next, Formula (B) will be examined.
[0036]
As described above, the deposit result data indicates the amount deposited into the headquarters account via ATM4. On the other hand, the cash amount data of the collection cassette 21 indicates the total amount of banknotes present in the collection cassette 21 immediately after the banknote collection process (or at the end of the sales calculation period). As described above, since all the banknotes in the collection cassette 21 are deposited in the ATM 4, these amounts are equal to each other. Therefore, the formula (B) is established. Thereby, the headquarters 9 can confirm that all the banknotes in the collection cassette 21 have been deposited into the headquarters account by confirming that the formula (B) holds.
[0037]
In the above embodiment, all the banknote equivalent of sales proceeds was deposited in ATM4, but the total amount of banknotes was not deposited, but the amount to be deposited was taken into account in the POS register 3 for the change of the day. May be determined. For example, when the amount of change for the current day is made larger than that for the previous day, the amount of the difference may be squeezed from the amount equivalent to the banknote, and the remaining amount of banknote may be deposited in ATM4. Further, when the change amount for the current day is made smaller than that for the previous day, an amount obtained by adding the difference amount to the bill equivalent amount may be deposited in the ATM 4. In this way, more flexible sales amount determination processing can be performed in consideration of the daily circumstances. In addition, in this embodiment, although ATM4 which receives only a banknote was used, you may use ATM which receives a banknote and a coin.
[0038]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the banknote change machine 1 and the coin change machine 2 were comprised as a different body, you may comprise these integrally. Thereby, the in-store space can be used effectively. Further, even if the ATM 4 and the POS register 3 are integrated, the in-store space can be used effectively.
[0039]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the payment result data created by the bank host computer based on the account deposit from the ATM 4 installed in the store, the sales data acquired by the POS register 3, the banknote change machine 1 and the amount of sales is determined using the stock data in each storage unit in the coin change machine 2. As a result, the sales amount determination process can be performed without necessarily collecting all the sales proceeds. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the account is deposited from the ATM 4 in the store, it is not necessary to go to the bank for depositing the account. Therefore, it is possible to deposit money into the account at any time and safely without worrying about the risk of carrying around the sales money or the time for depositing with the opening time of the bank.
[0040]
In addition, according to the present embodiment, the deposit corresponding to the banknote amount is performed with the minimum required number of banknotes, and the coins are left in the coin change machine 2 as change of the next day without being collected. Thereby, the outflow of change can be suppressed as much as possible, and therefore the cash transportation cost necessary for preparation of change can be suppressed. In particular, by not collecting coins, it is possible to greatly reduce cash transportation costs.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the balance data in the change machine can be recognized by the POS server, and the sales proceeds in the change machine are deposited in the automatic teller machine, so that the shortage of change can be suppressed as much as possible. At the same time, payment can be simplified.
