  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a tightening process routine. Hereinafter, the closing process by the cash management apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The closing process is, for example, a process in which cash consisting of change and sales set in each register after closing the store is inserted by the cash management device 1 to collect, sort, and collect cash.

  First, the store clerk who performs the closing process inputs to the input unit 14 to select the deposit process. The input unit 14 accepts the input (step S101).

  The main control unit 11 detects the input of the deposit processing selection to the input unit 14 and causes the display unit 12 to display a word prompting insertion of an ID card such as “Please insert ID card”. A store clerk corresponding to this inserts the ID card into the card reader 13. The card reader 13 reads information on the inserted ID card (step S102).

  The main control unit 11 determines whether or not the ID card information read by the card reader 13 is valid (step S103). If the main control unit 11 determines that the information on the ID card is not valid, the main control unit 11 displays that fact on the display unit 12 and ends the tightening process.

  When the main control unit 11 determines that the information on the ID card is valid, the main control unit 11 prompts the user to deposit the cash set in each register, for example, “Please deposit cash into the deposit port”. While being displayed on the part 12, the bill shutter of the bill deposit / withdrawal port 22 and the coin shutter of the coin deposit port 32 are opened to accept the insertion of cash from the store clerk (step S104). The clerk distinguishes between banknotes and coins and brings the cash brought for closing into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 and the coin deposit port 32.

  The main control part 11 closes a banknote shutter and a coin shutter, when the insertion of cash is detected. Next, the main control unit 11 issues an instruction to the bill discriminating unit 23 to discriminate and count the bills inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 22 and to discriminate and count the coins inserted into the coin deposit port 32. An instruction is issued to the coin discrimination unit 33.

  The banknote discriminating unit 23 according to the instruction discriminates the authenticity, correctness, denomination, and the like of the banknote, counts it for each denomination (step S105), and conveys it to the banknote temporary storage box 24. The banknote temporary storage 24 stores the banknote temporarily. Further, the coin discriminating unit 33 according to the instruction discriminates the true / false, correctness, denomination, etc. of the coin, counts it for each denomination (step S105), and conveys it to the temporary coin storage 34. The coin temporary storage 34 holds the coin temporarily. Moreover, the banknote discrimination part 23 notifies the main control part 11 of the deposit amount for each denomination obtained by the counting.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display a word prompting the display unit 12 to check whether the counting result for each denomination is correct. When the clerk determines that the displayed counting result is not correct, the clerk inputs that fact to the input unit 15. The main control unit 11 that has detected the input indicating that the banknote is not correct stores the banknote temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage 24 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 and the coin temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage 34. Are transferred to the coin safe 38 via a transfer path (not shown), and the deposit process is terminated (steps S106 and S107).

  When the clerk determines that the displayed counting result is correct, the clerk inputs that the input unit 15 is correct. The main control unit 11 that has detected an input indicating correctness sends the regular 5,000 yen ticket and the thousand yen ticket out of the banknotes temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage 24 to the banknote change storage 25. The 10,000-yen and 2,000-yen tickets are conveyed to the banknote collection box 26 and the banknotes identified as fraudulent or denominated are transferred to the banknote reject box 27 by using the banknote transport mechanism 28a (steps S106 and S108).

  Thereby, banknotes for change are stored in the banknote change storage 25, banknotes for sales collection are stored in the banknote recovery store 26, and illegal banknotes are stored in the banknote reject store 27. The main control unit 11 stores the stored amount for each denomination in the deposit / withdrawal processing history table of the storage unit 16 as “processing amount”.

  Further, the main control unit 11 selects a regular coin from the coins temporarily held in the temporary coin storage 34 to the coin change storage 35, and rejects a coin identified as fraudulent or unknown in denomination. 37, the coin transport mechanism 39a is used for transport (step S106, step S108). As a result, coins for change are stored in the coin change storage 35, and illegal coins and the like are returned from the coin reject port 37. The main control unit 11 stores the stored amount for each denomination in the deposit / withdrawal processing history table of the storage unit 16 as “processing amount”.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing the storage state of banknotes in the banknote change storage 25, the banknote recovery store 26, and the banknote rejection store 27 at this time. The cassette A is a sales banknote storage cassette provided in the banknote collection box 26, and stores a regular 10,000 yen voucher that has not been identified by the banknote discriminating unit 23 as being illegal or of unknown type. The cassette B is a banknote storage cassette for change provided in the banknote change storage 25, and stores a regular thousand yen ticket that has not been identified as illegal or unknown.

  The cassette C is a cassette in which the change banknote storage cassette provided in the banknote change storage 25 and the illegal / denomination unknown banknote storage cassette provided in the banknote reject storage 27 are integrated. Regular 5,000 yen coupons that have not been differentiated from the banknotes and banknotes (such as 10,000 yen coupons) that have been identified as fraudulent or unknown.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 11 shifts to a cash transfer process. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a cash transfer processing routine. Hereinafter, the cash transfer process by the cash management apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main control unit 11 calculates a sales difference (step S210). FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a sales difference calculation processing routine. The main control unit 11 refers to the deposit / withdrawal processing history table stored in the storage unit 16 and calculates the difference between the deposit amount and the withdrawal amount as a sales amount (step S211). For example, when the withdrawal amount is 1 million yen and the deposit amount is 2.5 million yen, the sales amount is 1.5 million yen.

  The main control unit 11 calculates the difference between the sales amount obtained by the calculation and the amount currently stored in the banknote recovery store 26 (hereinafter referred to as the current recovery store storage amount) as the sales difference amount (step S212). ). That is, the sales difference amount is an amount representing a shortage amount of the current collection storage amount with respect to the original sales amount. For example, if the sales amount is 1.5 million yen and the current collection and storage amount is 1295,000 yen, the sales difference is 205,000 yen. Note that the store clerk may input the sales amount into the input unit 14. In this case, the main control unit 11 calculates the sales difference based on the input sales amount.

  Next, the process proceeds to a cash withdrawal instruction display process by the cash withdrawal instruction display means constituted by the main control unit 11 and the display unit 12 (step S220). FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a cash withdrawal instruction display process. First, the main control unit 11 determines whether or not the sales difference is equal to or greater than the specified amount for taking out with reference to the history stored in the storage unit 16 (step S221). The specified withdrawal instruction amount is, for example, a bill that cannot be used as change, that is, a 10,000 yen bill of 10,000 yen here. At the same time, the main control unit 11 confirms the presence or absence of the 10,000 yen bill in the banknote reject box 27.

  For example, if the sales difference is 9,000 yen, the main control unit 11 ends the sales difference calculation process (step S221), and ends without executing steps S230 and S240 subsequent to the cash transfer process. The main control unit 11 may end the sales difference calculation process even when it is determined that there is no 10,000 yen bill in the banknote reject box 27.

  For example, when the sales difference is 205,000 yen and the total amount of 10,000 yen coupons in the banknote reject box 27 is 250,000 yen, the main control unit 11 proceeds to a selection screen display process (steps S221 and S222). . The main control unit 11 may shift to the selection screen display process when the sales difference is 10,000 yen or more as described above, or when the stored amount in the banknote reject box 27 is the sales difference or more. Alternatively, the process may be shifted to the selection screen display process.

  When the main control unit 11 determines that the sales difference is 10,000 yen or more, the main control unit 11 performs a close examination in the banknote reject box 27, or moves the banknote from the banknote change storage box 25 to the banknote collection box 26, Is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S222). FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a scrutiny movement selection screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording of the scrutiny move selection screen is, for example, “A 10,000 yen voucher with a sales difference amount or more is stored in the reject store. Select“ Scrut ”or“ Move ”. And so on. If the sales difference is 10,000 yen or less, the main control unit 11 does not display the close movement selection screen on the display unit 12 and performs the movement process in step S247 described later.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “move”, the main control unit 11 ends the sales difference calculation process (step S223) and does not execute the process of step S230 of the cash transfer process. Then, the process proceeds to step S240 (deficient amount carrying process).

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 that “scrutinize” is selected, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display an instruction screen for taking out banknotes in the cassette C (step S224). FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bill removal instruction screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording on the bill removal instruction screen is, for example, “1. Remove the bill cassette C and take out the bills in the cassette. 2. Return the empty bill cassette C and close the front door”.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the banknote cassette C stores a 5,000 yen ticket in the banknote change storage 25 and a 10,000 yen ticket in the banknote rejection box 27 and the like. The clerk takes out all these bills stored in the bill cassette C. Here, it is assumed that ten 5,000-yen coupons are stored in the banknote change storage 25 and 25 10,000-yen coupons are stored in the banknote reject storage 27, and the clerk takes out all these banknotes.

  Next, the process proceeds to a difference payment instruction display process by the difference payment instruction display means constituted by the main control unit 11 and the display unit 12 (step S230). FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a display process routine of a difference deposit instruction. First, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display an instruction screen for replenishing change banknotes out of banknotes taken out from the banknote cassette C by the store clerk during display of the banknote removal instruction screen (step S231). FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a change banknote replenishment instruction screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording on the change banknote replenishment instruction screen is, for example, “please replenish the 5,000 yen card you have taken out”.

  The clerk in response to the instruction deposits 5,000 yen coupons into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22. The main control unit 11 stores the ten 5,000-yen deposits in the bill change storage 25 by the same processing as steps S104 to S108 of the closing processing routine shown in FIG. 7 (step S232).

  Subsequently, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display a sales difference replenishment instruction screen (step S233). FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the sales difference replenishment instruction screen displayed on the display unit 12. The text of the sales difference replenishment instruction screen is, for example, “please replenish the sales difference. Replenishable amount 0 yen to 205,000 yen,“ replenishment ”,“ cancel ””, and the like.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “Cancel”, the sales difference is not replenished, and the process proceeds to step S240 (deficient amount conveyance process). Here, it is assumed that the store clerk selects “Replenishment” and deposits 20 of the 25 thousand yen coupons taken out of the cassette C, that is, 200,000 yen into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22.

  Next, the process shifts to a shortage amount transfer process by the shortage amount transporting means constituted by the main control unit 11 and the bill shortage amount transport mechanism 28b (step S240). FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a sales difference calculation processing routine. First, the main control unit 11 receives 20 ten thousand yen coupons deposited into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 by a store clerk (step S241). Twenty 10,000 yen coupons are discriminated and counted by the bill discriminating unit 23 and temporarily stored in the bill temporary storage 24.

  The main control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen such as the replenishment amount on the display unit 12 (step S242). FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a replenishment amount confirmation screen displayed on the display unit 12. The words on the replenishment amount confirmation screen are, for example, “replenishment amount 200,000 yen, shortage amount 5,000 yen, transfer amount 5,000 yen,“ storage ”,“ cancel ””, and the like.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 that “storing” is selected, the main control unit 11 stores the 20 thousand ten thousand vouchers temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage 24 in the banknote recovery box 26. (Step S243). When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 that “cancel” is selected, the main control unit 11 discharges the 20 thousand 10,000-yen tickets temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage 24 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22. Let In other words, 20 10,000 yen tickets are refunded to the clerk.

  When “storing” is selected, the selected main control unit 11 determines that the amount (payment amount) of the banknote inserted through the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 during the display of the sales difference replenishment instruction screen is the current collection storage amount. It is determined whether or not it is insufficient (step S244). When the deposit amount is sufficient, it is not necessary to move the banknote, so the main control unit 11 ends the cash transfer process. Since the amount deposited here is 200,000 yen, it is 5,000 yen less than the current shortage of 205,000 yen in the collection and storage amount.

  The main control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen such as a shortage amount on the display unit 12 (step S245). FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a shortage amount confirmation screen displayed on the display unit 12. The words on the confirmation screen for the shortage amount are, for example, “Is the replenishment of sales completed? The shortage amount is 5,000 yen. The replenishment amount is 5,000 yen.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “end” (step S246), the main control unit 11 ends the cash transfer process. When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “move” (step S246), the main control unit 11 uses the bill shortage amount transport mechanism 28b to compensate for the shortage of 5,000 yen, and changes the bill. One of the 5,000 yen coupons stored in the storage 25 is moved to the banknote recovery store 26 (step S247). As shown in Figure 8, cassette 7 contains a thousand yen ticket, but if you want to cover the shortage of 5,000 yen with a thousand yen ticket, you will need five thousand yen tickets and cover it with a 5,000 yen ticket. Since the number of sheets increases compared to the case, the main control unit 11 moves one 5,000-yen ticket to the banknote collection box 26.

  If the main control unit 11 determines in step S244 that the deposit amount is insufficient, the main control unit 11 does not display the confirmation screen for the insufficient amount, etc., and does not accept the input of “movement” and “end” (steps S245 and S246). The movement process of step S247 may be performed directly (without executing the above).

  The main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display a screen indicating that the banknote is moving (step S248). FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bill moving screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording on the bill moving screen is, for example, “moving ...”. When the movement is completed, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display a screen indicating that the movement of the banknote is completed (Step S248). FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bill movement completion screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording on the banknote movement completion screen is, for example, “sales of sales have been completed”.

  Finally, the main control unit 11 prints the deposit amount, the sales amount, the transfer amount and other necessary items related to the above-described tightening process, and ends the tightening process (step S110).

  Through the above-described processing, the shortage of 205,000 yen in the current collection storage amount relative to the original sales amount was replenished. FIG. 22 is a diagram schematically showing a part of the cash transfer process. The banknotes are determined by taking out 25 pieces of 10,000 yen coupons identified as defective banknotes or unknown denominations and stored in the banknote reject box 27 (step S224), and re-depositing 20 of them into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 Since the money is stored in the collection box 26 (step S243), the shortage of the sales amount in the banknote collection box 26 is 5,000 yen, and the banknote moving from the banknote change storage box 25 to the banknote collection box 26 is one 5,000 yen ticket. (Step S247).

  If the 10,000 yen voucher stored in the banknote reject box 27 is not used effectively as sales, like the conventional cash management device, all of the shortage of 205,000 yen must be covered with 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen vouchers. Therefore, there were not enough 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen tickets for change to be stored in the banknote change storage 25. On the other hand, when the 10,000 yen voucher stored in the banknote reject box 27 is effectively used as sales as in this embodiment, the number of banknotes moving from the banknote change storage box 25 to the banknote collection box 26 can be reduced. It is possible to prevent a shortage of 5,000 yen and 1000 yen vouchers for change.

As described above, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the 10,000 yen coupon stored in the banknote reject box 27 is taken out and a screen is displayed indicating that it should be deposited as a supplement for sales. Since only the banknote of the amount corresponding to the shortage amount is moved from the banknote change storage 25 to the banknote recovery box 26, the change 5000 yen and thousand yen tickets are transferred to the banknote change storage 25. You can leave enough. Thus, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the shortage of sales related to collection can be supplemented so that the change reserve is not short.
<Second embodiment>
In the present embodiment, when the banknote reject box 27 has been scrutinized between the last closing process and the current closing process, replenishment of sales proceeds is promoted.

  The main control unit 11 grasps the number of banknotes stored in the banknote rejection store 27 for each denomination from the count for each denomination of the banknotes by the banknote discrimination unit 23, and stores the RJ warehouse inspection history table in the storage unit 16. To remember. The cash management device 1 is provided with an attachment / detachment detection unit 29 such as a sensor for detecting whether or not the cassette C has been removed, that is, attachment / detachment of the banknote reject box 27, and the main control unit 11 includes an attachment / detachment detection unit 29. In response to the removal detection signal of the banknote rejection store 27, the “classification” of the RJ warehouse review history table is set to “scrutinize”, and the removal time is stored in the “processing date” of the RJ warehouse review history table.

  Also in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the processing from steps S101 to S108 of the tightening processing routine shown in FIG. 7 is performed as in the first embodiment, and the process moves to the cash transfer processing (step S109). FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a cash transfer processing routine in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the cash transfer process in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When it is determined that there has been a scrutiny in the banknote reject box 27 from the previous closing process to the current closing process by the withdrawal / payment instruction display means constituted by the main control unit 11 and the display unit 12, A deposit instruction screen for withdrawing money from the bill reject box 27 is displayed (step S310). FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a withdrawal / payment instruction display processing routine.

  The main control unit 11 refers to the “closing date / time” of the deposit / withdrawal processing history table stored in the storage unit 16 and the “processing date / time” of the RJ warehouse scrutiny history from the previous closing process to the current closing process. It is determined whether or not the banknote reject box 27 has been scrutinized in the meantime (step S311).

  For example, if the last closing date and time is 23:35 on August 26, the current closing processing start date and time is 23:35 on August 27, and the close date and time is August 27, 13:00, the main control The part 11 discriminate | determines that there was a scrutiny in the banknote reject warehouse 27 between the last fastening process and this fastening process.

  In this case, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display an instruction screen indicating that the banknote reject box 27 has been scrutinized between the previous closing process and the current closing process and that the cash that has been taken out should be deposited ( Step S312). FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of a withdrawal / payment instruction display screen displayed on the display unit 12. The wording on the withdrawal instruction display screen is, for example, “The RJ warehouse has been scrutinized after the previous closing process. The expected number of 10,000-yen coupons to be taken out. Please deposit the cash you have taken out”. For example, this is displayed when the number of 10,000 yen coupons stored in the banknote reject box 27 at the time of the close examination at 13:00 on August 27 is 30.

  Next, the main control unit 11 proceeds to display processing of a difference deposit instruction (step S320). Specifically, the main control unit 11 causes the display unit 12 to display the sales difference replenishment instruction screen shown in FIG. 16 as in the first embodiment. According to the instruction displayed on the screen, the clerk deposits 20 of the 30 10,000 yen tickets taken out at 13:00 on August 27 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22. The subsequent processing is the same as in the first embodiment.

As described above, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the date and time of the closing process and the scrutinized date and time of the RJ warehouse are stored, and the banknote is rejected during the closing process from the previous closing process to the current closing process. It is determined whether or not the bank 27 has been scrutinized, and if there is a scrutiny, the number of 10,000 yen coupons to be taken to that effect and the scrutiny (10,000 yen stored in the banknote reject box 27) Number of tickets). The store clerk who knew that thirty 10,000 yen coupons were taken out at the time of scrutiny by the display deposits the 10,000 yen coupons into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22. Thereby, the 10,000 yen ticket is stored in the banknote collection box 26, and the shortage of the current collection box storage amount with respect to the original sales amount is replenished. Thus, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the shortage of sales related to collection can be supplemented so that the change reserve is not short.
<Third embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the number of banknotes to be left in the banknote change storage 25 (hereinafter referred to as change change remaining number) is preset in the main control unit 11 for each denomination. For example, the change set remaining number of 1,000 yen tickets is set to 800, and the change set remaining number of 5,000 yen tickets is set to 500.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram schematically showing the storage state of banknotes in the banknote change storage 25, the banknote collection storage 26, and the banknote rejection storage 27. 300 bills are stored in the bill change storage 25 of the cassette B. Further, the dotted line T1 indicates the position in the cassette B in the case where 800 sheets corresponding to the remaining number of thousand yen change are accumulated. 50 bills of 5,000 yen are stored in the bill change storage 25 of the cassette C. Further, the dotted line T5 indicates the position in the cassette C when 500 sheets corresponding to the remaining change amount of 5,000 yen tickets are accumulated.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing a shortage transfer processing routine in this embodiment. Since steps S241 to S245 are the same as those in the first embodiment, they are omitted. Hereinafter, the processing after step S246 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “move” (step S246), the main control unit 11 determines the number of banknotes stored in the banknote change storage 25 (hereinafter referred to as change banknote storage number). For each denomination (step S247). If the number of change banknotes stored is greater than the change change remaining number, the process proceeds to the movement process of step S250.

  The main control unit 11 determines that the 300-yen change bill storage number is smaller than the thousand-yen change setting remaining number 800 and collects the 1000-yen note stored in the bill change storage 25. A screen for selecting whether to move to the store 26 or to separately replenish a thousand yen ticket from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S248). FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating an example of the movement replenishment selection screen display. The replenishment selection screen display is, for example, “The change balance is 800 thousand yen and 500 yen for 500 yen. The number of banknotes in the change storage is 300 for 1000 yen and 50 for 5000 yen. Does it move ?, “Move”, “Replenish”, etc.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 that “replenishment” is selected (step S249), a replenishment money (for example, a shortage of 205,000 yen) to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22 is accepted, and the banknote discrimination unit 23 After discrimination and counting, the bills are stored in the bill collection box 26 (step S250). In this case, as shown in FIG. 29A, there is no movement of banknotes from the cassettes B and C to the cassette A, and deposit and storage into the cassette A are performed in step S250.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “move” (step S249), the main control unit 11 uses the bill shortage amount transport mechanism 28b to store the bills stored in the bill change storage 25. Among them, for example, a banknote with a deficit of 205,000 yen (for example, 40 5,000 yen and 5 thousand yen) is moved to the banknote collection box 26 (step S251). In this case, as shown in FIG. 29 (b), there is no direct deposit and storage in the cassette A, and banknotes are moved from the cassettes B and C to the cassette A in step S251.

  The moving and moving completion screen display processing in step S252 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

As described above, the cash management apparatus according to the present embodiment presets the number of banknotes to be left in the banknote change storage 25 (the change remaining number), and the number of banknotes stored in the banknote change storage 25. If (the number of change banknotes stored) is equal to or less than the change change remaining number, the banknotes are not moved from the banknote change storage 25 to the banknote collection box 26, and the shortage of sales is compensated by depositing into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 22. Can be. Moreover, even if the number of change banknotes stored is less than or equal to the change change remaining number, the banknotes can be moved from the banknote change storage 25 to the banknote collection box 26 as necessary. Thus, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the shortage of sales related to collection can be supplemented so that the change reserve is not short.
<Fourth embodiment>
In the present embodiment, when the number of change banknotes stored is equal to or less than the change change remaining number, the shortage of the sales amount is replenished by moving the coins from the coin change storage box 35 to the coin collection box 36. . Here, the shortage of the current collection storage amount relative to the original sales amount is 8342 yen.

  Here, there are 800 change balances for the 1,000 yen ticket, 300 change bill storage numbers, 500 change change balances for the 5,000 yen ticket, and 50 change bill storage numbers. The number of sheets is equal to or less than the remaining change amount.

  The coin change storage 35 stores ten 500 yen coins, 100 100 yen coins, 10 50 yen coins, 100 10 yen coins, and 100 1 yen coins.

  The main control unit 11 is preset with a maximum coin recovery number for each denomination. Here, the coin maximum collection number is the maximum number of coins that can be moved from the coin change storage box 35 to the coin collection box 36. The maximum number of coins collected is set as one 500 yen coin, 200 100 yen coins, 50 50 yen coins, 50 10 yen coins, 150 1 yen coins, and 300 1 yen coins.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing a shortage transfer processing routine in this embodiment. Since steps S241 to S245 are the same as those in the first embodiment, they are omitted. Hereinafter, the processes after step S246 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the store clerk inputs to the input unit 14 to select “move” (step S246), the main control unit 11 determines that the number of banknotes stored in the banknote change storage 25 (the number of change banknotes stored). It is determined for each denomination whether or not it is less than the change change remaining number (step S247).

  If the main control unit 11 determines that the number of change banknotes stored is larger than the change change remaining number, the main control unit 11 moves the replenishment amount from the banknote change storage 25 to the banknote recovery box 26 (step S248). When it is determined that the number of change banknotes stored in the yen ticket is equal to or less than the change change remaining number, the replenishment amount is moved from the coin change storage box 35 to the coin collection box 36 by the coin shortage transport mechanism 39b (step S249).

  At this time, the main control unit 11 selects, for example, coins for replenishing 8342 yen, which is the shortage of the current collection storage amount, in descending order, for example. First, the main control unit 11 selects one 500-yen coin because the maximum collection number of 500-yen coins is one. As a result, the shortage is 7842 yen. Next, the main control unit 11 selects 78 100 yen coins. As a result, the shortage is 42 yen. Since the maximum collectable number of 100 yen coins is 200, 78 can be selected. Subsequently, the main control unit 11 selects four 10-yen coins and two 1-yen coins in order to supplement the shortage of 42 yen. As a result, the shortage will be 0 yen. Since the maximum collectable number of coins of 10 yen coins is 150, and the maximum collectable number of coins of 1 yen coins is 200, selection of 4 or 2 is allowed.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram schematically showing part of the shortage transfer processing routine. The coin change storage 35 is provided with a coin storage cassette for each denomination. 100 yen coins are stored in cassette D, 10 yen coins are stored in cassette E, 1 yen coins are stored in cassette F, 500 yen coins are stored in cassette G, 50 yen coins are stored in cassette H, and 5 yen coins are stored in cassette I. Has been. In step S249 described above, one 500-yen coin from the cassette G, 78 100-yen coins from the cassette D, four 10-yen coins from the cassette E, and two 1-yen coins from the cassette F are collected in the coin collection box 36. Move to. In the above case, the banknotes are not moved from the banknote change storage 25 to the banknote collection box 26.

  As described above, the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment moves coins from the coin change storage box 35 to the coin collection box 36 when the number of change banknotes stored is equal to or less than the change change remaining number. Thereby, the shortage of the sales amount can be replenished without causing the banknote change reserve to be insufficient and without leaving the coin change reserve excessively. In addition, since the maximum number of coins to be collected is set in advance for each denomination, the coins for change in the coin change storage 35 are not reduced more than necessary. Thus, according to the cash management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the shortage of sales related to collection can be supplemented so that the change reserve is not short.
