TRANSACTION FACILITY

PURPOSE:To know the actual working time of a transaction facility which performs the transaction of totalization of notes, etc., by counting the processing time for each unit transaction totalize the unit transaction time. CONSTITUTION:When the sorting/counting operation of cash is through together with the manual input of broken notes and the input of securities, an operator pushes an end key. Then a control part 8 compares the amount written on a slip with the amount of transaction and stores the notes in a store box when coincidence is obtained between both amounts. Here the part 8 totalizes the transaction amounts and stores them in a totalization storage area and an account storage area of a memory part 9. Then the part 8 defines the time of a timepiece device 10 as a transaction end time point to store it in a time storage area in a RAM 11 and calculates the time needed for the transaction from the start time and the end time stored in the RAM 11. Thus the part 8 totalizes calculated transaction time (consumed time) and stores it in the account corresponding to the account storage area of the part 9 as well as in the total storage area. Thus it is possible to know the actual working time of a transaction machine.
