In the money handling unit 40, both coins and banknotes can be processed. Since the function and operation of the money processing unit 40 for depositing and dispensing coins and banknotes, such as deposit processing, withdrawal processing, and currency exchange processing, are conventionally known, detailed description thereof is omitted, and the following description is necessary for the description of the present embodiment. Such processing will be described mainly using banknotes as an example.

Next, main money processing performed by the money handling apparatus 20 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a start menu displayed on the screen of the operation display unit 50 when the money handling apparatus 20 starts money handling. The “deposit”, “withdraw”, “refund”, and “exchange” menus displayed on the screen correspond to the deposit process, withdrawal process, refund process, and exchange process. When a menu corresponding to a process to be executed is selected, an operation screen for executing the selected process is displayed on the screen. The start menu screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed to an authenticated user by performing a predetermined authentication process in which the user ID and password are input by operating the operation display unit 50 of the money handling apparatus 20. The user who has not been authenticated cannot perform money processing with the money processing apparatus 20.

Here, refund processing will be explained. The refund process is a process of withdrawing a specified amount of banknotes from the money handling apparatus 20, but the process of the amount of banknotes withdrawn is different from the withdrawal process. For this reason, a menu dedicated to refund processing is provided in the start menu to distinguish it from withdrawal processing.

For example, when checking in at a hotel, the guest deposits a predetermined amount of cash as a deposit at the hotel as a deposit. When this guest checks out, the amount charged for the provision of goods and services to the guest does not reach the deposit amount previously deposited as a deposit. After deducting the fee, the remaining amount of money is returned to the customer.

The hotel cash register will store the proceeds such as the accommodation fee. If you deposit and check in at this cash register, the cash will be collected from the cash register at the specified timing on the check-in date. After that, if the deposit is refunded at the checkout at the time of checkout, when the checkout sales are collected from the cashier, the deposit is refunded for the checkout sales. Will be lacking. In such a case, refund processing is performed by selecting “refund” instead of “withdrawal” in the start menu of the money handling apparatus 20.

Suppose, for example, that at the time of check-in at a hotel, 100,000 yen of cash is deposited from the customer to the hotel and stored at the cash register. At this time, the 100,000 yen cash stored in the cash register is a deposit from the customer, but it is collected from the cash register along with the sales amount on the day, etc. at a predetermined timing, such as after all check-in processing for the day is completed. The money processing apparatus 20 deposits the money. At the time of depositing, in order to specify the cash register from which the deposited money is collected, the money processing apparatus 20 is required to input identification information for identifying each cash register. The deposit processing operation will be described later.

The money management apparatus 10 acquires and manages, from the money processing apparatus 20, information including cash register identification information and the amount of money collected and deposited from the cash register as information related to the deposit process. Moreover, the money management apparatus 10 transmits the information regarding the acquired payment process to the POS server which manages the hotel cash register. Accordingly, the POS server recognizes that the money collected from the cash register and deposited in the money handling apparatus 20 includes the money by deposit, and confirms that there is no problem in the amount of the deposited money. it can.

When the guest checks out at a later date, for example, out of the 100,000 yen deposit made earlier, only 70,000 yen will be devoted to payment to the hotel, and the remaining 30,000 yen will be stored at the cash register. Suppose that you have been refunded to the guest using cash. For example, if the cash to be collected from the cash register on this day is 1 million yen, as a result of refunding 30,000 yen, the cash that can be collected from the cash register becomes 970,000 yen, which is 30,000 yen short. In such a case, the money processing device 20 executes a refund process, inputs identification information for specifying the cash register, designates the shortage amount, and outputs the shortage money of 30,000 yen. Make money. Then, after adding 30,000 yen withdrawn in the refund process to 1 million yen, the money processing apparatus 20 inputs the identification information for specifying the cash register and executes the deposit process.

When the money management apparatus 10 performs the refund process for the same cash register and then executes the deposit process, 30,000 yen out of the million yen deposited by the deposit process is refunded by the refund process. The cash register identification information, the information related to the refund process including the refund amount, and the information related to the deposit process including the deposit amount are associated and managed. The money management apparatus 10 transmits to the POS server identification information of the cash register and information indicating that a cash refund process of 30,000 yen and a deposit process of 1 million yen have been performed on the cash register. Thereby, in the POS server, it is possible to confirm that the amount of money collected from the cash register and deposited in the money handling apparatus 20 matches the amount of money to be collected from the cash register.

In addition, the POS server can process the amount of money returned by the refund process as being related to the deposit that has been previously deposited. Specifically, there is no contradiction between 100,000 yen deposited as a deposit, 70,000 yen of the fee paid by the guest, and 30,000 yen refunded to the guest. It can be confirmed that the operation has been performed normally.

Note that the refund process performed in the money handling apparatus 20 is not limited to a mode of actually withdrawing money of a specified amount, and is actually performed following the refund process without dispensing money. It may be an aspect of processing by adding the amount specified in the refund process to the deposit amount of the deposit process. Specifically, in the previous example, after 30,000 yen was specified in the refund process, the refund process was terminated without withdrawing 30,000 yen from the money processing apparatus 20, and then the refund process was performed. A mode may be adopted in which a refund amount of 30,000 yen is added to 970,000 yen deposited by the deposit process, so that the deposit amount is 1 million yen.

In addition, processing for confirming that the amount of money collected from the cash register and deposited into the money handling apparatus 20 matches the amount of money including sales and deposit to be collected from this cash register, The process for confirming that there is no contradiction between the amount received, the fee paid by the guest, and the amount refunded to the guest is not limited to the mode executed by the POS server. The money management apparatus 10 that acquires necessary information from the POS server may execute the information.

Next, a description will be given of a withdrawal process for preparing a change reserve necessary for business in a hotel or a store. When the change reserve is withdrawn, the “withdraw” menu is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 3 and the withdrawal process is started. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation display unit 50 of the money handling apparatus 20 during the withdrawal process.

The example of a screen displayed when one is selected from the choices is shown.

The money handling apparatus 20 can deposit and withdraw a plurality of types of currencies. For example, when two types of currency, Japanese currency and US currency, are set to be stored in the denomination storage unit 46 by denomination, on the screen displayed at the time of monetary processing, Denominations are displayed by currency. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, on the screen displayed during the withdrawal process, the denominations included in the Japanese currency are displayed together with the letters JPY, and the denominations included in the US currency. Is displayed with the letters USD. In addition, the number and amount of money types and the total amount are displayed for each currency.

When the withdrawal process is started, the cash register identification information managed by the control unit 30 is displayed in a list as shown in FIG. The money handling device 20 is configured with identification information for identifying each cash register of the store and the hotel that withdraws the change machine reserve using the money handling device 20 and the change reserve required for each cash register. The denomination and number (amount) of money are registered and managed in advance. Specifically, for example, the store identification information No. The denominations of money constituting the change reserve necessary for the cash register 01 and the number of each denomination are managed in association with the identification information “Store-No. 01” for identifying the cash register. When the cashier identification information corresponding to the change reserve to be withdrawn is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 4A, the change reserve managed in association with this identification information can be withdrawn from the money processing apparatus 20. It becomes a state. As identification information for identifying the cash register, the name of the person in charge of the cash register, the identification number for identifying the person in charge, etc. can be used in addition to the number indicating the cash register. The management of information necessary for the withdrawal process is not limited to the mode in which the money processing apparatus 20 performs the management, but may be a mode in which the information is managed by another apparatus such as the money management apparatus 10. Specifically, identification information for identifying each register of a store and a hotel that uses the money handling apparatus 20 to withdraw a change machine reserve and a change reserve necessary for each checkout A mode in which the denomination and the number (amount) of money are registered and managed in advance in the money management apparatus 10 and used by the money processing apparatus 20 with reference to this may be used.

For example, when the person in charge of the cash register of the store selects identification information “Store-No. 01” indicating the cash register in charge on the screen shown in FIG. 4A, as shown in FIG. The breakdown of the banknotes constituting the change reserve managed in association with the selected identification information is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 4 (b), on the screen showing the breakdown of the change reserve, the denomination, number and amount of banknotes constituting the change reserve, and the total amount of the banknotes by currency are displayed. The The number and amount of money shown in white letters on a black background on the screen can be changed manually, and if necessary, change the breakdown of banknotes withdrawn as change reserve Can do. If you select the “Coin” tab displayed on the left side of the screen on this screen, the denomination, number, and amount of coins that make up the change reserve, and the amount of coins are totaled by currency, as with banknotes. The total amount is displayed and the breakdown of coins withdrawn as change reserves can be changed.

If necessary, change the breakdown of money to be withdrawn as change reserve and operate the start button on the screen to withdraw change reserve consisting of the denomination and number of coins displayed on the screen. be able to. When the withdrawal process is performed, the money management apparatus 10 that manages the money handling apparatus 20 obtains information from the money processing apparatus 20, the date and time when the withdrawal process was performed, and the cash register selected at the time of the withdrawal process. The identification information, the money type and amount of money withdrawn, information for specifying the user who performed the processing, information for specifying the money processing apparatus for which processing has been performed, and the like are associated and managed.

In the “remaining” item, the number and amount of banknotes left in the denomination storage unit 46 without being collected when performing the collecting process are displayed in the denomination.

In the item of collection, the number and amount of banknotes to be collected and the total amount of banknotes to be collected for each currency are displayed. When the number or amount displayed in white characters on a black background in the collection item is entered in the denomination and the banknote to be collected is specified, the display of the remaining item is automatically updated and left in the money handling apparatus 20 Banknotes to be collected and banknotes to be collected can be confirmed on the screen.

When the “all collection” button at the bottom of the screen shown in FIG. 7 is operated, the number and amount of collection items are automatically set so that all banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 are designated as collection targets. It is designed to be entered. Also, if you select the "Coin" tab displayed on the left side of the screen on this screen, specify the number or amount of coins to be collected and select the coins to be retained and the coins to be collected on the screen. It can be confirmed. The example of FIG. 7 shows a screen when it is specified that 100 of the 200 thousand-yen tickets that can be recycled stored in the denomination storing unit 46 are left and 100 are collected. Yes.

After manually specifying the number or amount of money of the denomination you want to collect and determining the money to be collected, operating the “Recovery Start” button at the bottom of the screen will allow you to specify it within the money processor 20. The selected denomination and number of coins are fed out from the denomination storage unit 46 and stored in the collection cassette 47. After all the money designated as the collection target is stored in the collection cassette 47, for example, by removing the collection cassette 47 from the money processing apparatus 20, the collected money is transported to a bank or the like while being stored in the collection cassette 47. be able to.

Next, processing when the “sales collection” menu is selected on the collection menu screen shown in FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for collecting sales. In the money management system, both banknotes and coins can be collected, but coins can be processed in the same way as banknotes. The processing content shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 will be described by taking an example of collecting gold. In addition, in order to simplify the explanation, each of the first money handling device 20a, the second money handling device 20b, and the third money handling device 20c has a denomination storage unit 46a for storing a 10,000 yen ticket, and a 5,000 yen ticket. It is assumed that it includes three denomination storage units 46a to 46c, that is, a denomination storage unit 46b for storing the money and a denomination storage unit 46c for storing the thousand yen ticket (see FIG. 9).

For example, when the “sales collection” menu is selected on the first money processing apparatus 20a and the sales collection process is started, the control unit 30 of the first money processing apparatus 20a receives the sales from the first money processing apparatus 20a. The money management device 10 is inquired and acquired the collected amount of banknotes to be collected and the remaining number of banknotes to be left in the first money handling apparatus 20a without being collected (step S1).

The remaining number of banknotes to be left in each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is determined in advance at the store and managed by the money management apparatus 10. On the other hand, the recovery amount of banknotes collected as sales money from each money handling apparatus 20a-20c is based on the amount of banknotes stored in each money handling apparatus 20a-20c at the time of collection processing and the sales proceeds of the store. , Determined by the money management apparatus 10.

Here, the method by which the money management apparatus 10 determines the collection amount will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of banknotes in each of the first money processing device 20a, the second money processing device 20b, and the third money processing device 20c when determining the amount of money collected for sales. . In the example of FIG. 9, 70 thousand yen coupons are stored in the denomination storage unit 46a of the first

money handling apparatus

20a, and 80 5,000 yen coupons are stored in the denomination storage unit 46b. The type storage unit 46c stores 200 thousand yen coupons, the collection cassette 47 stores 200,000 yen of banknotes, and the amount of banknotes stored in the first money handling apparatus 20a is It shows that the total is 1.5 million yen. 9 and FIG. 12 to be described later, only the money type storage unit 46 and the recovery cassette 47 necessary for the description of the recovery process are shown in the configuration shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the relationship between the amount of sales and the amount collected from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. Sales at hotels and stores include amounts paid by customers in cash and amounts paid by methods other than cash, such as checks and credit cards. The figure in the upper part of FIG. 10 shows that among the sales of hotels and stores, the amount of banknotes collected from the hotel cash register and the store cash register and deposited into the three money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is 1,000,000 yen. Show. In the sales collection process, 1 million yen of banknotes obtained in cash out of the entire sales is collected as sales from the three money processing apparatuses 20a to 20c.

The control unit 11 of the money management apparatus 10 acquires information from the POS server and recognizes that a total of 1 million yen banknotes is collected as sales from the three money processing apparatuses 20a to 20c. Further, the control unit 11 acquires the banknote amount information in each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c shown in FIG. 9 as the apparatus information from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. And the control part 11 determines the collection amount of the banknote collect | recovered from each money processing apparatus 20a-20c based on the acquired balance information. Specifically, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 10, the total amount of sales collected from the three money handling devices 20a to 20c is 1 million yen, and as shown in FIG. 9, the three money handling devices 20a When the banknotes stored in .about.20c are 1.5 million yen, 2.5 million yen, and 1 million yen, respectively, the control unit 11 is shown in the lower part of FIG. 10 based on the ratio of these banknotes. Thus, the recovery amount of banknotes collected from the first money handling apparatus 20a is 300,000 yen, the recovery amount of banknotes collected from the second money processing apparatus 20b is 500,000 yen, and the banknotes collected from the third money processing apparatus 20c are collected. The amount is determined to be 200,000 yen. That is, the ratio of the banknotes stored in the three money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c substantially matches the ratio of the collected money of the banknotes collected from the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c, and 3 The amount of money collected from the three money handling devices 20a to 20c is determined so that the total amount of banknotes collected from the money handling devices 20a to 20c matches the amount of sales to be collected.

The example of FIG. 10 shows an example in which the ratio of the banknotes stored in the three devices matches the ratio of the banknotes collected from each device. In some cases, the ratio of the amount in stock and the ratio of the amount do not completely match. More specifically, for example, if you want to collect 100,000 yen sales with a collection amount that is a ratio of 2: 1 with banknotes being collected, this ratio can be It is not possible to make the collected amount completely the same. In such a case, the control unit 11 adjusts in units of thousand yen, such as 66,000 yen and 34,000 yen, or 65,000 yen and 30,000 so as to substantially match this ratio. Adjustments are made in units of 5,000 yen, such as 5,000 yen, and adjustments are made in units of 10,000 yen, such as 70,000 yen and 30,000 yen. About the method of adjusting so that ratio may substantially correspond, a calculation method can be designated and set. Thus, “substantially coincidence” is a concept including a case where the ratio of the amount in stock and the ratio of the amount are completely matched and a case where the amount is adjusted on a denomination basis when the ratio is not completely matched. However, it may be referred to as “match” including the case where the ratio of the amount in stock and the ratio of the amount are completely matched and the case where the amount is adjusted in units of denomination when the ratio is not completely matched.

As for the amount of sales, in addition to the mode in which the money management device 10 acquires information from the POS server, the money management device 10 that manages the money processing performed by each of the money processing devices 20a to 20c performs the contents of money processing. It is also possible to calculate based on the above. In addition, the control unit 11 of the money management apparatus 10 performs both the acquisition of the sales amount from the POS server and the calculation of the sales amount based on the contents of the monetary processing performed by each of the money processing apparatuses 20a to 20c. It is also possible to execute a process for confirming that the two match.

The collection amount of banknotes collected from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c can be determined according to the contents of the money processing performed in each apparatus. Specifically, whether the money handling apparatus 20 is a depositing apparatus that performs only the deposit process, a withdrawal apparatus that performs only the withdrawal process, or a deposit / withdrawal apparatus that performs both the deposit process and the withdrawal process. Adjust the collection amount accordingly. The control unit 11 of the money management apparatus 10 acquires information indicating whether each apparatus is a depositing apparatus, a dispensing apparatus, or a depositing / dispensing apparatus as apparatus information from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. Based on the acquired information, the control unit 11 determines the amount of money collected from each device so that the amount collected from the dispensing device and the amount collected from the depositing device are smaller than the amount collected from the depositing device. decide. While there is no need to withdraw banknotes with the depositing device, banknotes to be used for the withdrawal process are required with the withdrawal device and the depositing / withdrawing device. The amount of money collected from each device is adjusted so as to leave For example, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 10, the recovery amount from the first money processing apparatus 20a is 300,000 yen, the recovery amount from the second money processing apparatus 20b is 500,000 yen, and the recovery amount from the third money processing apparatus 20c. Is determined to be 200,000 yen, and then only the first money handling device 20a is a deposit / withdrawal device for depositing / withdrawing banknotes, and the second money processing device 20b and the third money handling device 20c are depositing devices dedicated to depositing The control unit 11 reduces the amount collected from the first money handling apparatus 20a to half 150,000 yen, divides the reduced 150,000 yen into two equal parts, and the second money handling apparatus 20b and the third money. In addition to the recovery amount from the processing device 20c, the recovery amounts are 575,000 yen and 275,000 yen, respectively. However, the ratio of the amount to be reduced according to the processing type of money, and the ratio to allocate and add the reduced amount to other devices can be changed by setting.

In addition, the recovery amount of banknotes collected from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is determined based on the amount of banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 and the amount of banknotes stored in the recovery cassette 47. It is also possible to do.

For example, the amount of sales to be collected, that is, the total amount of banknotes collected from three money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is 1,000,000 yen. As shown in FIG. The bank balances are 1.5 million yen, 2.5 million yen and 1 million yen, respectively, and the amounts of banknotes stored in the collection cassettes 47 of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c are 200,000 yen, 400,000 yen and 100,000 yen, respectively. Specific description will be given. First, the control unit 11 of the money management apparatus 10 subtracts the amount of banknotes to be collected stored in the collection cassette 47 of each device from the amount of sales to be collected, and other than the collection cassette 47, that is, the money of each device. The total amount of banknotes collected from the type storage unit 46 is calculated. In the example of FIG. 9, the total amount of banknotes collected from the denomination storage unit 46 of each device is calculated as 300,000 yen (= 1,000,000 yen-200,000 yen-400,000 yen-100,000 yen). Next, the control unit 11 subtracts the amount of banknotes stored in the collection cassette 47 of each device from the stock of each device, and the amount of banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 of each device. Is calculated. In the example of FIG. 9, the amount of banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 of the first money handling apparatus 20a is 1.3 million yen (= 1.5 million yen-200,000 yen), and the denomination of the second money handling apparatus 20b. The amount of banknotes stored in the storage unit 46 is 2.1 million yen (= 2.5 million yen-400,000 yen), and the amount of banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 of the third money handling apparatus 20c is 900,000 yen (= 1 million yen-100,000 yen). And the control part 11 is substantially equal to the ratio of the amount of the banknote accommodated in the money type storage part 46 of each apparatus, and the money amount of the banknote collect | recovered from the money type storage part 46 of each apparatus is the total amount. The amount to be collected is determined so that the cost is 300,000 yen. For example, the collection amount is determined so as to be approximately the same in units of 10,000 yen. In the example of FIG. 9, the total amount of banknotes collected from the denomination storage unit 46 of each device is 300,000 yen, and the amount of banknotes stored in the denomination storage unit 46 of each device is 1.3 million yen, Since the amounts are 2.1 million yen and 900,000 yen, the control unit 11 sets the amount of banknotes collected from the denomination storage unit 46 of the first money handling apparatus 20a to 90,000 yen so as to substantially match the ratio of these amounts. The amount of banknotes collected from the money type storage unit 46 of the second money handling apparatus 20b is determined to be 150,000 yen, and the amount of banknotes collected from the money type storage unit 46 of the third money processing apparatus 20c is determined to be 60,000 yen. The amount of the banknotes collected from each device is calculated as the total amount of the amount of banknotes already stored in the collection cassette 47 and the amount of banknotes collected from the denomination storage unit 46, and the first money handling apparatus 20a. The amount of banknotes collected from 290,000 yen (= 200,000 yen + 90,000 yen), the amount of banknotes collected from the second money processing apparatus 20b is 550,000 yen (= 400,000 yen + 150,000 yen), the third money processing The amount of banknotes collected from the apparatus 20c is 160,000 yen (= 100,000 yen + 60,000 yen). As a result, a total of 1 million yen banknotes can be collected as sales from the three money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c.

As described above, the money collection amount collected from each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is automatically determined by the money management apparatus 10, but it is also possible to manually change the determined collection amount. . FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation display unit 12 of the money management apparatus 10 when changing the collection amount.

As shown in FIG. 11, the total amount of banknotes collected from the three money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is displayed for each currency as “sales amount” along with the date of the day. In the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that the total amount of banknotes collected as sales proceeds from the three currency processing devices 20a to 20c is one million yen in Japanese currency. In addition to this, for example, when recovering 10,000 dollars of US currency from three currency processing devices 20a to 20c, 1 million yen displayed on the screen together with “JPY” indicating Japanese currency. In addition to displaying the amount of money, an amount of 10,000 dollars is displayed together with “USD” indicating the US currency.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the names given to the respective money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c are displayed on the screen as “processor names”. In the example of FIG. 11, “DEVICE-001” displayed as the processor name indicates the first money handling apparatus 20a, “DEVICE-002” indicates the second money handling apparatus 20b, and “DEVICE-003” indicates the first money handling apparatus 20a. A three money handling apparatus 20c is shown.

As shown in FIG. 11, the amount of bills in each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is displayed on the screen as “in-flight balance”, and the money management apparatus 10 is based on this amount of money. The collected amount determined to be collected from 20a to 20c is displayed as “collected amount”. In addition, in the item of cash on hand, the amount of banknotes stored in the collection cassette 47 as a part of the cash balance is displayed as “in cassette”. In-flight balances and recoveries are displayed by currency. The collection status item indicates whether or not the collection processing has been performed in each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. In the money processing apparatuses 20a to 20c on which the collection processing has been performed, the collection status item includes a collection process. Information indicating completion is displayed.

The display of FIG. 11 corresponds to FIGS. 9 and 10. For example, the in-machine amount of the first money handling apparatus 20 a with the processing machine name “DEVICE-001” is 200,000 stored in the collection cassette 47. This indicates that the currency amount is 1.5 million yen including Japanese yen, and the recovery amount determined to be collected as sales from the first money handling apparatus 20a is 300,000 yen. Further, the total amount of the recovery amounts determined for each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c is displayed as “Total”. As shown in FIG. 11, the amount displayed as “sales amount” on the screen is the same as the total amount collected from the money handling apparatuses 20 a to 20 c displayed as “Total”.

On this screen, the collected amount indicated by white characters on a black background can be changed by operating the operation display unit 12. When the collection amount is changed, the total amount of the collection amount indicated as “Total” on the screen is automatically updated. By manually changing the collection amount and operating the save button, the breakdown of the collection amount can be determined.

When the amount of money determined by the money management apparatus 10 is manually changed, the total amount of money collected from the money processing apparatuses 20a to 20c after the change is displayed as “sales amount” at the top of the screen. It is necessary to change the breakdown of the collected amount so that it matches the amount. If the total amount collected from each money handling device 20a to 20c does not match the sales amount displayed at the top of the screen, the save button cannot be operated on the screen of the money management device 10, and the next operation Can not proceed.

When the recovery amount from each device is determined in this way, the control unit 30 of the first money handling apparatus 20a includes information including the recovery amount determined by the money management device 10 and a preset remaining number of sheets. After obtaining from the money management apparatus 10, the expected number of collection is confirmed (step S2 in FIG. 8). The scheduled number of collections is the number of banknotes exceeding the remaining number of banknotes stored in the denomination storage units 46a to 46c. For example, in the case where all the denomination storage units 46a to 46c of the first money handling device 20a, the second money handling device 20b, and the third money handling device 20c are set to 130, the number 130 is set. The banknotes exceeding the number of sheets are the number of sheets to be collected.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a method for determining the breakdown of banknotes collected from the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. When the banknotes stored in each of the money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c are in the state shown in FIG. 9, the number of banknotes exceeding the 130 remaining number indicated by the broken line as shown by the oblique lines in FIG. However, the number of sheets to be collected will be. Specifically, 70 thousand yen vouchers are collected in the first

money handling apparatus

20a, 30 thousand yen vouchers in the second

money handling apparatus

20b, and 70 thousand yen vouchers in the third money handling apparatus 20c. . In order to simplify the description, an example is shown in which a common remaining number is set in all denomination storage units 46a to 46c of all money handling apparatuses 20a to 20c. Different remaining number of sheets can be set in each of the denomination storage units 46a to 46c.

The control unit 30 of the first money handling apparatus 20a that has confirmed that the scheduled number of collections is 70 thousand yen vouchers, then, the amount of banknotes to be collected and the number of banknotes stored in the collection cassette 47. It is confirmed whether or not the total amount with the amount matches the amount collected by the first money handling apparatus 20a (step S3 in FIG. 8). If they match (step S3; Yes), a process of displaying and confirming information including the denomination and the number of the banknotes to be collected on the operation display unit 50 is performed (step S7). On the other hand, when the two do not match (step S3; No), the control unit 30 calculates the total amount of the amount of the banknotes to be collected and the amount of the banknotes stored in the collection cassette 47, and the first amount. The amount of money collected from the money handling apparatus 20a is compared (step S4).

When the total amount of the amount of banknotes to be collected and the amount of banknotes stored in the collection cassette 47 is smaller than the collection amount of the first money handling apparatus 20a (step 30). (S4; No), the control unit 30 adds the banknote corresponding to the shortage to the collection amount to the collection target (step S5), and collects the added banknote and the number of banknotes to be collected. The target banknote. On the other hand, when the total amount of the amount of bills to be collected and the amount of bills stored in the collection cassette 47 exceeds the collection amount of the first money handling apparatus 20a (step S4; Yes), The control unit 30 reduces, from the collection target, banknotes corresponding to the amount exceeding the collection amount from the number of banknotes to be collected (step S6). That is, when the sum of the amount of bills to be collected and the amount of bills stored in the collection cassette 47 does not match the amount collected by the first money handling apparatus 20a, the difference between the two is adjusted. In order to do so, a process of changing the denomination and number of banknotes to be collected is performed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), in the first money handling apparatus 20a, the collection amount is 300,000 yen, whereas the amount of banknotes in the collection cassette 47 is 200,000 yen, and the collection is scheduled. The amount of banknotes is 70,000 yen. Since the total amount of bills in the collection cassette 47 and the number of bills to be collected is 270,000 yen, as shown as “over / short amount” in FIG. Ten thousand yen is insufficient (step S4 in FIG. 8; No). For this reason, 30,000 yen of banknotes are added to the number of banknotes to be collected as shown in FIG. 12B as “over / deficient banknotes”, and these banknotes are collected (step S5). ). Specifically, for example, three 10,000 yen vouchers are added to the collection target so that the shortage of 30,000 yen is composed of the minimum number of banknotes.

Also, when collecting banknotes from the third money handling apparatus 20c, as shown in FIG. 12B, the total amount of the banknotes in the collection cassette 47 and the banknotes to be collected is 170,000 yen, and the collection amount 20 Since there are not enough 30,000 yen banknotes per 10,000 yen (step S4 in FIG. 8; No), in order to adjust the shortage of 30,000 yen, three 10,000 yen tickets are added to the collection target (step S5) The banknotes to be collected are the number of banknotes to be collected and the three added 10,000 yen coupons.

On the other hand, in the second money handling apparatus 20b, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the amount of money collected is 500,000 yen, whereas the amount of banknotes in the collection cassette 47 is 400,000 yen. The amount of banknotes is 150,000 yen. The total amount of the banknotes in the collection cassette 47 and the banknotes to be collected is 550,000 yen, which is 50,000 yen exceeding the collection amount of 500,000 yen (step S4 in FIG. 8; Yes). For this reason, the excess banknotes of 50,000 yen are reduced from the number of banknotes to be collected (step S6). Specifically, by reducing the number of 5,000 yen tickets to be collected by 10 to 20 sheets, the total amount of banknotes to be collected and the banknotes in the collection cassette 47 coincide with the amount of 500,000 yen collected. Let These 20 5,000-yen coupons are used as banknotes to be collected.

However, the method for determining the denomination and the number of banknotes to be added to the collection target as banknotes constituting the insufficient amount in step S5 of FIG. 8 is not limited to the mode of determining to be the minimum number. For example, a priority may be set for the denomination, and banknotes constituting the insufficient amount may be determined based on the priority.

Further, for example, the number of stored banknotes stored in each of the denomination storage units 46a to 46c is compared with the remaining number except for the number of banknotes to be collected, and the denomination is close to the remaining number. The banknotes to be added to the collection target may be determined with priority. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), in the third money handling apparatus 20c, except for the 70 thousand yen vouchers that are the number of banknotes to be collected, the number of thousand yen vouchers stored is the remaining number. Compared to 130, the number of 10,000 yen tickets that can be stored is 40, which is 90 less than the remaining number, and the number of 5,000 yen tickets is 60, which is 70 less than the remaining number. is doing. In such a case, priority is given to the thousand yen ticket whose stored number is closest to the remaining number, and the insufficient 30,000 yen banknotes are composed of thirty thousand yen tickets.

At this time, if the amount of money that is insufficient is composed of one denomination banknote, after collection, the difference between the number of stored banknotes of this denomination and the remaining number of sheets is the difference between the number of stored banknotes of other denominations and the remaining number of sheets. In the case where the amount of money is larger than the amount of money, it can be determined that the amount of money that is insufficient is constituted by banknotes of multiple denominations instead of one denomination. For example, for the sake of simplicity, excluding the number of banknotes to be collected, the number of 5,000-yen coupons stored is 115 and the number of thousand-yen coupons stored is 120 compared to the remaining 130. Suppose that the amount of money that is insufficient with respect to the collection amount is 20,000 yen. In this case, if the shortage of 20,000 yen is composed of only 20 thousand yen tickets, the difference between the remaining number and the stored number is smaller than that of the 5000 yen ticket, the number of stored 5000 yen tickets will be reduced after collection. 115 sheets and 1,000 yen tickets can be stored in 100 sheets. As a result, the difference between the stored number of thousand yen tickets and the remaining number of sheets is 30, the difference between the stored number of 5,000 yen tickets and the remaining number of sheets is 15, and there is a difference of 15 sheets between denominations. In such a case, the shortage of 20,000 yen is reduced to three 5,000-yen coupons so that the difference between the number of banknotes stored and the number of remaining banknotes after collection is close to the value between the denominations. And five thousand yen bills of multiple denominations. In this case, after collection, the number of 5,000 yen tickets stored is 112, and the number of thousand yen tickets stored is 115. As a result, the difference between the number of stored 5,000-yen tickets and the remaining number of sheets is 18 and the number of stored 1,000-yen tickets is 15 and the number of denominations can be reduced to three. it can. After collection, the collection target is set so that the number of stored bills does not become extremely small with only a specific denomination, that is, the difference between the number of stored bills of each denomination and the remaining number is as even as possible. To decide.

Also, in the case where the excess banknotes are reduced from the number of banknotes to be collected in step S6 of FIG. 8, when banknotes of multiple denominations are included in the banknotes to be collected, priority is set for the denominations. Based on this priority, the number of banknotes to be reduced as an excess may be determined, or the number of banknotes of each denomination included in the scheduled number of collections is compared with the remaining number of denominations to store more Priority may be given, and the banknote reduced as an excess may be determined. In addition, after collection, so that the number of stored sheets does not become extremely large only with a specific denomination, that is, the difference between the number of stored banknotes of each denomination and the number of remaining sheets is made as uniform as possible. You may determine the banknote reduced as excess. In step S5 and S6, how to adjust the denomination and the number of banknotes to be collected can be changed by setting.

Thus, when the denominations and the number of banknotes to be collected from the denomination storage units 46a to 46c are determined so that the banknotes whose amount is determined by the money management apparatus 10 are collected, the banknotes to be collected are collected. A process of displaying and confirming information including the denomination and the number of sheets on the operation display unit 50 is performed (step S7 in FIG. 8).

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation display unit 50 when the denomination and the number of banknotes collected from the money handling apparatus 20 are determined. As shown in FIG.12 (b), the 200,000 yen banknote accommodated in the collection | recovery cassette 47 of the 1st money processing apparatus 20a, and the 70 thousand yen coupon accommodated in the money type accommodating part 46c, When it is determined that three 10,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage unit 46a are to be collected, the screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed.
