Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form data input journalizing apparatus for journaling data of a form such as a financial product application form sent from a certain institution (for example, post office) to a financial institution (for example, bank).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the back side of a postal transfer payment notice (form) is an application form for a bank product such as a loan trust, and it is possible to apply for a bank product through a post office. Therefore, in the office center of the bank, the form is journaled according to the classification item such as the store number from the data of the payment notice form sent from the post office.

Conventionally, the input journal of such form data is performed in the following procedure. First, a key entry person at a bank's office center key-enters numerical data such as store number, account number, and transfer amount from the keyboard of the data entry terminal device, and then another key entry. The person in charge makes a key entry for similar data on the form. Furthermore, both of these data are displayed and output side by side on a CRT or printer,
It confirms whether the key entry data of both persons in charge of entry match, and if they do not match, the contents are checked again, and if there is an error, the part is corrected.

As another method of confirming the form data, first, key entry of data on a large number of forms from the keyboard is performed, and then the contents of these key entries are output in the form of a list. After that, the contents of the list are visually compared with the original form to judge whether or not the contents of the entry are correct.

If the contents of the entry are correct by the above confirmation work, the form is journaled according to the classification item such as the store number, and again after the form is journaled, it is confirmed again whether or not the journal is properly processed. Calculate the total amount of the form (payment notification slip) for each store number, compare the total amount for each store number with the total amount data already entered, and if there is a mismatch, pursue the cause of the mismatch. .

[0006]

Therefore, in the above-mentioned entry of form data, the data on the form is manually entered, so that another key must be entered again to confirm the validity of the key entry. When the person in charge of entry inputs the data on the same form and confirms the sameness of both input contents, or when the data on the form is output in the form of a list, the list is collated with the original form. We are working to confirm the identity.

As a result, most of the work, such as data input work, confirmation work of input data validity, and totalization work for confirming the validity of journals after journalizing, depend on manpower. There is a problem that a lot of time is spent on the work of and the great effort is required.
