Description

The present invention relates to a deposit management device, a deposit management method, and a deposit management system.

When managing sales proceeds at a supermarket or the like, there are cases where a cashier takes the sales proceeds from a POS (Point of Sale) terminal to a sales deposit machine located within the store, processes the deposits, and manages the deposits.

As a technique for managing deposits using a POS terminal, there is Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-186528 (Patent Document 1). This bulletin states, ``The POS terminal 1, the management server 2, and the cash deposit/withdrawal machine 3 are connected to each other via the network 4, and the POS withdrawal amount obtained when the POS terminal 1 settles the payment and the remaining amount of change are transferred to the POS terminal 1. The withdrawal amount creation section 11 and the remaining change amount creation section 12 create and send it to the management server 2.In the management server 2, the deposit/withdrawal machine balance acquisition section 22 and the deposit/withdrawal machine amount calculation section 23 process all deposits and withdrawals. The deposit/withdrawal machine 3 determines the remaining amount and free space, and the deposit/withdrawal state determination unit 24 calculates a deposit/withdrawal machine that allows deposits/withdrawals or deposits only, and makes a reservation for deposit/withdrawal with the deposit/withdrawal machine 3. If the shortage state determining unit 25 determines that there is no deposit/withdrawal machine 3 that can withdraw money, the POS terminal 1 issues a withdrawal receipt. Performs deposit and withdrawal processing, deposit processing, or withdrawal processing using withdrawal receipts.''

JP2014-186528A

In a supermarket, etc., where cashiers work in multiple shifts at each of multiple POS registers, and each cashier deposits all the sales proceeds from the POS registers into the sales deposit machine at the time of shift change, the sales Since the chances of money being deposited increase, it becomes complicated to manage whether all cashiers have actually deposited the sales proceeds accurately. In Patent Document 1, the amount actually deposited by the cashier is not confirmed.

The present invention enables a cashier who handles a POS register to process the end-of-shift receipt issued at the end of a shift and valuable media in the POS register using a sales deposit management device, thereby increasing the cashier's sales for each shift. A sales deposit management method for managing cash, in which a drawer ID for identifying sales proceeds of a cashier is created, a shift end receipt is output together with the sales proceeds, a sales deposit management device reads the drawer ID from the shift end receipt, It is characterized by outputting a sales deposit result receipt based on the sales proceeds to be deposited and the deposit amount of valuable media actually received.

According to the present invention, it is possible to more reliably confirm that the sales amount handled by the cashier has been deposited.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when a cashier deposits all the sales in the POS register handled by the cashier into the sales deposit machine at the end of the shift and changes shifts, the cashier should deposit the money. The amount is managed on the server, a dedicated receipt is output to the cashier, and when depositing sales proceeds, each cashier uses receipt information, server information, and information on the amount actually deposited. To enable a person in charge to more easily and reliably confirm that the sales proceeds to be deposited by the person in charge have been deposited without fail.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

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

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

The POS server 102 is connected to a plurality of POS registers including the POS register 101, and when a cashier finishes his/her shift at the POS register 101, sales information that is aggregation of all sales results of the cashier during the shift, and a drawer ID, which will be described later, are received from the POS register 101 and recorded.

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

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

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

The sales deposit machine 106 stores sales proceeds processed by the cashier of the POS register 101 within each shift from the plurality of POS registers 101. The shift end receipt 103 brought by the cashier is read and the drawer ID is sent to the tally server 105. Sales information corresponding to the corresponding drawer ID is received from the aggregation server 105, and input of valuable media 104 is accepted from the cashier. At the time of insertion, the denomination, number, and authenticity of each cash are identified, and if there is any valuable medium that cannot be determined to be a genuine note, it is returned to the cashier as a reject note (RJ note 108). Thereafter, information such as the drawer ID, the deposit result, and the difference with the sales information is transmitted to the tally server 105. Note that the difference with the sales information mainly occurs when the RJ ticket 108 is generated. If all the valuable media 104 inserted by the cashier are determined to be genuine bills, no RJ ticket 108 is generated.

The sales deposit result receipt 107 is a tangible object (mainly a receipt) output from the sales deposit machine 106 after the cashier finishes the deposit process, and includes the drawer ID, deposit result, and Sales information, the difference with the sales information, etc. are recorded.

The management terminal 109 is a terminal connected to the totalization server 105 and used by a manager who manages sales receipts. It is equipped with a device that reads the sales deposit result receipt 107 brought by the cashier who has completed the deposit process, transmits the drawer ID to the tally server 105, and receives the deposit result and sales information. If there is a difference with the sales information and the cashier brings the RJ ticket 108, the manager compares the difference with the sales information and the RJ ticket 108 and determines that the total amount matches the sales information. If it is determined that this is the case, a notification to that effect is transmitted to the aggregation server 105.

In this way, when depositing sales proceeds after the end of a shift, the cashier brings the outputted shift end receipt 103 and the valuable medium 104 representing the sales amount during the shift to the sales deposit machine 106 as a set. The sales amount accepted at the POS register 101 can be reliably matched with the amount actually deposited at the sales deposit machine 106. In particular, even if an RJ ticket 108 is generated, the sales deposit machine 106 further issues a sales deposit result receipt 107, so by matching the sales deposit result receipt 107 and the RJ ticket 108, the manager can Since the cashier can efficiently match the amount that could not be deposited to the sales deposit machine 106 with the sales information, it is possible to easily and accurately confirm the sales proceeds that the cashier attempts to deposit.

Note that the valuable medium 104 and the RJ ticket 108 are stored in a cloth bag, case, or box (not shown), and the shift end receipt 103 and the sales receipt result receipt 107 are pasted on these bags, or the receipts are held and held on the side of the bag. It is desirable in terms of security and efficiency to transport the receipt, the valuable medium 104, and the RJ ticket 108 in association with each other by providing a clip pocket or the like.

The memory 204 includes a sales management section 214, a drawer ID management section 224, a closing information transmission section 234, and a shift end receipt creation section 244.

The sales management unit 214 performs a process of recording information inputted by the input/display unit 202 (information including all sales in progress) into the transaction information DB 207.

The drawer ID management unit 224 generates unique information (drawer ID) for identifying sales receipts for each cashier's shift time based on the information of the cashier in charge, the shift time of the cashier, the identification information of the POS register 101, etc. generate. However, the drawer ID management unit 224 may be provided in the POS server 102 instead of the POS register 101, but in that case, the POS register 101 receives the drawer ID from the POS server 102.

When the POS register 101 detects that the shift end button has been pressed, the closing information transmitting unit 234 aggregates all sales results within the shift, records it as sales information in the transaction information DB 207, and sends the result via the communication unit 201. , transmits closing information including at least the sales information and the drawer ID to the POS server 102.

The shift end receipt creation unit 244 converts the drawer ID into a barcode, creates receipt information including the barcode and sales information, and sends it to the printer 205.

When the printer 205 receives the receipt information, it prints it on the receipt.

The valuable medium storage section 206 is a section that stores cash and coupons that the cashier receives in exchange for products.

The transaction information DB 207 is a database that records sales information created by the sales management section 214.

The memory 304 includes an information extraction section 314 and a transaction information transmission section 324.

When the information extraction unit 314 receives the closing information received from the POS cash register 101 normally, it notifies the POS cash register 101 to that effect, extracts at least the drawer ID and sales information, and performs processing to record it in the transaction record DB 203. .

Transaction information transmitting section 324 transmits the drawer ID and sales information extracted by information extracting section 314 to aggregation server 105 via communication section 301 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the aggregation server 105.

The communication unit 401 is an interface that communicates with the POS server 102, the sales deposit machine 106, and the management terminal 109.

The sales information DB 402 is a database that records the drawer ID and sales information received from the POS server 102.

Control unit 403 executes a program stored in memory 404, which will be described later.

The memory 404 includes a sales information search section 414 and a search result transmission section 424.

The sales information search unit 414 searches and extracts sales information recorded in the sales information DB 402 using the drawer ID received from the sales deposit machine 106 as a key.

The search result transmitting unit 424 transmits the sales information extracted by the sales information searching unit 414 to the sales deposit machine 106 via the communication unit 401.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the sales deposit machine 106.

The communication unit 501 is an interface that communicates with the aggregation server 105 and the sales deposit machine 106.

The input/display unit 502 is a means by which the cashier performs input operations to the sales deposit machine 106, reads the barcode printed on the shift end receipt, and displays input/read results. In particular, by displaying difference information, which will be described later, after inserting cash, the cashier can immediately notice a mistake in inserting cash. Note that the device for reading the drawer ID written on the shift end receipt may be made independent as a reading section.

Control unit 503 executes a program stored in memory 504, which will be described later.

The memory 504 includes a transaction information management section 514, a difference calculation section 524, a transaction result transmission section 534, and a sales deposit result receipt creation section 544.

The transaction information management unit 514 transmits the drawer ID from the input/display unit 502 to the aggregation server 105 via the communication unit 501, receives sales information corresponding to the drawer ID, and records it in the sales information record DB 507. I do.

After the sales information corresponding to the drawer ID is found, the difference calculation unit 524 uses an authenticity determination unit (not shown) to check the valuable media that the cashier deposits into the valuable media receiving unit (not shown) of the sales deposit machine 106. , stores the valuable media determined to be true in the valuable media storage unit 506, and calculates the total amount thereof. Further, the difference between the total amount and the sales information corresponding to the drawer ID recorded in the sales information record DB 507 is calculated. Note that if the authenticity determination unit cannot determine the authenticity due to the condition of the valuable medium, a process is performed in which only the valuable medium is returned to the cashier as the RJ ticket 108.

The transaction result transmitting unit 534 records the results calculated by the difference calculating unit 524 as sales information in the sales information record DB 207 and transmits them to the aggregation server 105 via the communication unit 501.

The sales deposit result receipt creation unit 544 converts the result calculated by the difference calculation unit 524 and the drawer ID into a barcode, creates receipt information including the barcode and sales information, and sends it to the printer 505. Note that the drawer ID may be the same as the shift end receipt 103, or may be newly created using new time information or the like.

When the printer 505 receives the receipt information, it prints it on the receipt.

The valuable medium storage section 506 is a section where the cashier deposits money and stores cash and coupons that are determined to be genuine by the authenticity determination section. Note that instead of returning the RJ ticket 108 to the cashier, another storage (AB storage) may be prepared in the valuable medium storage section 506 and the RJ ticket 108 may be stored therein. In that case, in order to identify the valuable media stored in the AB store, the serial number acquired during the determination by the authenticity determination unit and the photographed image data of the valuable media are stored in the sales information record DB 207 together with the drawer ID. It is preferable to record the information and transmit the serial number and image data together when transmitting to the aggregation server 105.

The sales information record DB 207 is a database that records sales information including difference information created by the difference calculation unit 524.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data recorded in the sales information record DB 507. The data structure is the same for the transaction information DB 207, transaction record DB 302, and sales information DB 402, so the description thereof will be omitted.

The cash register number 602 is a number for identifying the POS register 101 used by the cashier.

The shift serial number 603 is a number that stores the order of the cashier using the cashier number 602.

Employee ID 604 is an ID for identifying the cashier. It can also be used as a cashier name.

The shift start time 605, shift end time 606, and closing time 607 are information on the shift start time, shift end time, and closing time at which the cashier pressed the shift end button, respectively.

The number of coins of denomination A 608 to the number of coins of denomination C 610 are the numbers of sales information that the cashier plans to deposit, divided by denomination. Although not shown, it is more preferable that the sales deposit machine 106 separately maintains the number of coins for each denomination determined to be true by the authenticity determining section as a database. In that case, the number of various valuable media scheduled to be deposited and the number of various valuable media actually deposited are compared, and the type and number of valuable media that are missing are displayed as the difference in the input/display unit 502. This can be expected to further prevent cashiers from failing to make deposits. Note that the denomination may include not only banknotes but also coins.

The total sales amount 611 is the total amount of sales during the shift of each cashier using each POS register 101, which is scheduled to be deposited.

The total deposit amount 612 is the total amount of valuable media determined to be genuine by the authenticity determination unit in the sales deposit machine 106.

The difference amount 613 indicates the difference between the total amount of sales 611 and the total amount of deposits 612. If it is 0, it indicates that the total amount of sales scheduled to be deposited will be fully deposited, and if there is a difference in the amount, it is a case that either the deposit is omitted or the RJ ticket 108 has occurred.

The confirmation result 614 indicates the confirmation result of the RJ ticket 108, which will be described later.

Status 615 indicates the processing status for each drawer ID 601. If the cashier is waiting for payment, this indicates that although the drawer ID 601 has been registered, the cashier has not yet deposited the money into the sales deposit machine. Waiting for confirmation indicates that the cashier has deposited valuable media into the sales deposit machine 106 and the total deposit amount has been updated, but the manager (to be described later) has not read the sales deposit result receipt 107 on the management terminal 109. If it is being checked, the manager (to be described later) reads the sales deposit result receipt 107 on the management terminal 109, and then shows that the sales information, RJ ticket 108, etc. are being checked. Completion indicates a state in which a manager (to be described later) confirms the sales information, the RJ ticket 108, etc., registers the result of checking the RJ ticket 108 in the sales information record DB 507, and completes the confirmation.

Note that the sales information DB 402 and the sales information record DB 507 may be made into one database without being separated, and the sales information record DB 507 (sales information DB 402) may be managed by either the POS server 102 or the aggregation server 105.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the shift end receipt 103. This example corresponds to drawer ID 987644 in the third row from the top in FIG. 6 .

701 indicates date information. 702 indicates an employee ID.

Reference numeral 703 indicates a drawer ID, which is printed as a one-dimensional barcode in FIG. 7, and is read by the sales deposit machine 106 and the management terminal 109.

704 describes shift start time to shift end time.

705 displays the number of coins for each denomination that the cashier should deposit. In 706, the total sales amount, which is the total amount of deposits, is written.

After the shift ends, the cashier can grasp the total amount to be deposited and the number of coins for each denomination by holding the shift end receipt 103 and having it read by the sales deposit machine 106. The deposit amount corresponding to the drawer ID can be confirmed through the drawer ID.

Note that by attaching this shift end receipt 103 to a bag or box containing valuable media 104, which is all sales during the shift, or wrapping it around it as a tag, the valuable media 104 and the corresponding shift end receipt 103 can be separated. You can carry it around without having to worry about it.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the sales payment result receipt 107. This figure is also illustrated as corresponding to the drawer ID987644 on the third line from the top in FIG.

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

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

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

806 describes the difference as an amount.

By looking at the sales deposit result receipt 107, the cashier can check whether the difference (one denomination of denomination A) has been deposited.

In addition, if there is no missing payment, the customer goes to the manager with one RJ ticket (denomination A) that was not determined to be genuine by the sales deposit machine 106. The administrator reads the barcode part of the drawer ID with the management terminal 109, and receives information from the tabulation server 105 that the sales information determined by the sales deposit machine 106 matches the sales deposit result receipt 107, and that the sales deposit is completed. By determining whether the difference (difference amount) in the resulting receipt 107 matches the contents of the RJ ticket 108, it is possible to easily manage and confirm sales information. After matching the sales information, the manager only has to register the result of actually checking the RJ ticket 108 from the management terminal 109 to the sales information recording DB. In order to further ensure accuracy, the cashier may take both the shift end receipt 103 and the sales deposit result receipt 107 to the manager, and the manager may read both drawer IDs and match them.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, the embodiments described above are described in detail to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to having all the configurations described. For example, in the above embodiment, the drawer ID is configured by reading a one-dimensional barcode on the sales deposit machine or the management terminal, but the drawer ID can be printed as characters on the shift end receipt or the sales deposit result receipt. It is also possible to use a configuration in which the bar code is input from the input section, or a configuration in which it is printed as a two-dimensional bar code and read from the input section.

Further, it is also possible to replace a part of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of one embodiment. Further, it is possible to add, delete, or replace a part of the configuration of each embodiment with other configurations. For example, the POS server 102 and the tally server 105 may function as one server, or the sales deposit machine 106 may have the functions of the POS server 102 and the tally server 105. In addition, information such as programs, tables, files, etc. that realize each configuration can be stored in a memory, a recording device such as a hard disk, an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a recording medium such as an IC card, SD card, or DVD. can.
