The number of sheets and the amount of money for each banknote denomination constituting the amount of money are calculated as the amount of payment.

  The pool money calculating means 86 calculates, as pool money, the number of money and the amount for each money denomination that constitutes the difference between the temporary deposit amount and the deposit amount.

  The reserve calculation means 87 calculates the number and amount of money for each money denomination obtained by subtracting the amount of money deposited and the amount of pool money as a change fund.

  Change management processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, first, the CPU 38 (payment amount calculation means 85) of the POS terminal 10 calculates the initial value of each denomination as the payment amount to be displayed in the payment amount information area 203 of the payment denomination adjustment screen 200. (Step S1).

More specifically, in step S1, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 subtracts the change reserve for the next day from the total amount of all the denominations of the amount information transmitted from the automatic change machine 100 to calculate the temporary payment amount.
Balance information (total amount of all denominations)-next day total amount of change reserve = provisional amount

  Next, the deposit amount and the number of pieces of each denomination constituting the deposit amount are calculated based on the number of denomination-type bills and the temporary deposit amount in the stock information. In the following, a method of calculating the deposit amount and the number of denominations constituting the deposit amount will be described.

  Calculation of the deposit amount and the number of sheets for each denomination constituting the deposit amount is a subtraction process of subtracting the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the banknote denomination by the number of the banknote denomination from the balance (start is the temporary deposit amount) Do.

  Specifically, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 obtains the maximum number of sheets that can be subtracted from the balance (the start is the temporary deposit amount) for the maximum denomination of bills (firstly 10,000 yen notes). Then, when the CPU 38 obtains the maximum number of subtractable sheets, the CPU 38 performs the same calculation for the next denomination (the one after the ten thousand yen bill is the five thousand yen bill).

  The number of each banknote denomination and the amount of money for each denomination obtained as described above become the initial value of the total amount of the number of each banknote denomination and the amount of each banknote denomination in the payment amount information.

  In addition, the balance after finally calculated with respect to the minimum denomination (1,000 yen bill) of bills becomes the pool gold the next day.

  Next, the CPU 38 (pool money calculation means 86) of the POS terminal 10 calculates the initial value of the pool money of the next day displayed in the pool money information area 204 of the deposit denomination adjustment screen 200 (step S2).

Then, when the CPU 38 obtains the subtractable maximum number, the CPU 38 performs the same calculation for the next denomination (the one after the 500-yen coin is the 100-yen coin). Such subtraction processing is executed until the balance finally becomes 0 (zero).

  The number of each coin denomination and the amount for each coin denomination determined as described above become the initial value of the total number of each coin denomination and the number for each coin denomination of the pool gold of the next day.

  Next, the CPU 38 (the reserve calculation means 87) of the POS terminal 10 calculates the initial value of each denomination in the change reserve displayed in the change reserve information area 202 of the deposit denomination adjustment screen 200 (step S3) .

More specifically, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 in step S3 determines the deposit amount (the number of money for each banknote denomination) and the pool money (the number of money for each banknote denomination) from the amount information (number of money for each denomination) transmitted from the automatic change machine 100. The number of coins for each coin type is reduced to calculate the change fund for the next day (initial value of the number of each denomination).
Balance Information-Deposit Amount and Pool Money = Change Reserve for the Next Day

  Next, the CPU 38 (display means 81) of the POS terminal 10 displays an initial value in each area of the deposit denomination adjustment screen 200 (step S4).

  The change reserve information area 202 of the deposit denomination adjustment screen 200 displays the change reserve (initial value of each denomination) calculated in step S3. In the deposit amount information area 203 of the deposit denomination adjustment screen 200, the deposit information (initial value of each denomination of bills of the deposit amount) calculated in step S1 is displayed. In the pool money information area 204 of the deposit money type adjustment screen 200, the next day pool money calculated in step S2 (initial value of each denomination of coins of payment amount) is displayed.

  Next, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 waits for the change of values in the change reserve information area 202, the deposit amount information area 203, and the pool money information area 204 (step S5), and waits for the operation of the confirmation button 211 ( Step S6).

  In the present embodiment, the number of each denomination of change reserve (change), payment to ATM (payment of banknotes), and next day pool money (payment of coins) should be changed manually in the present embodiment. Is possible.

  On condition that the value has been changed in any of the areas (Yes in step S5), the CPU 38 (the changing unit 82) of the POS terminal 10 executes the changing process to change the values in the other areas (step S7).

  Further, under the condition that the confirmation button 211 has been operated (Yes in step S6), the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 displays a confirmation message, and the change reserve information area 202, the deposit amount information area 203, and the pool money The value in the information area 204 is determined (step S8).

  Further, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 stores the amount of money paid into the ATM and the pool money of the next day in the sales file of the HDD 55 (step S9).

Further, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 controls the thermal printer 37 to print the following items (step S10).
・ Gold type current value input ・ The next day change reserve ・ The amount of money paid to ATM ・ The next day pool gold

  As described above, according to the POS terminal 10 of the embodiment, the cash on hand is correctly calculated by automatically calculating, for each denomination, the deposit amount of only the banknote for depositing money in the ATM installed in the convenience store or the like. It is possible to hold and reduce typing errors.
