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

More specifically, in step S1, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 calculates the provisional deposit amount by subtracting the change reserve for the next day from the total amount of all denominations of the amount information transmitted from the automatic change machine 100.
Retention information (total amount of all denominations) -total amount of next day change reserve = provisional deposit amount

Next, the number of banknotes for each denomination that constitutes the deposit amount and the deposit amount is calculated based on the number of denomination banknotes and the provisional deposit amount in the existing amount information. The method of calculating the deposit amount and the number of denominations constituting the deposit amount will be described below.

To calculate the deposit amount and the number of sheets for each denomination that composes the deposit amount, a subtraction process is performed in which the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the banknote denomination and the number of the banknote denomination is subtracted from the balance (start is the temporary deposit amount). Do.

Specifically, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 obtains the maximum number of banknotes that can be deducted from the balance (starting with the provisional deposit amount) for the maximum denomination of banknotes (initially 10,000 yen bill). Then, when the CPU 38 finds the maximum number of sheets that can be subtracted, the CPU 38 performs the same calculation for the next denomination (the next 10,000-yen note is the 5,000-yen note).

The number of each banknote denomination and the amount of money for each denomination obtained as described above are the initial values of the number of sheets for each banknote denomination and the total amount of money for each banknote denomination in the deposit amount information.

Calculate the change reserve (initial value of each denomination) for the next day by subtracting the number of coins for each denomination).
Retention information-Deposit amount and pool money = Next day change reserve

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

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

Next, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 waits for the value change 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 S5). Step S6).

In the present embodiment, the number of each denomination of the next day change reserve (change), the amount deposited in the ATM (the amount of banknotes deposited), and the next day pool money (the amount of coins deposited) is manually changed. Is possible.

On condition that the value has been changed in any area (Yes in step S5), the CPU 38 (change means 82) of the POS terminal 10 also executes a change process for changing the value in the other area (step). S7).

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

Further, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 stores the deposit amount to the ATM and the pool money 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 items shown below (step S10).
