The present invention provides a coin-detection station comprising a frame in which a passage for coins is provided. In use, the coins roll on one side along an underside of the passage. The passage is provided with at least one radiation source arranged on a side thereof for emitting radiation across the width of the passage in the direction of at least one radiation sensor. The at least one radiation sensor is designed to emit a detection signal which indicates the passing of a coin. The passage is furthermore provided with a movable first closure element for closing off a first end of the passage. If desired, the passage is provided with a second closure element which can be moved synchronously with the first closure element and closes off a second end of the passage which is situated opposite the first end. Operating means provided on the frame serve to move the first closure element and the second closure element between the first and the second position.

A system and method for automated adjustment processing using pre-configured sets of business rules is provided. The seller pre-configures a set of business rules for use in processing an adjustment for a specific buyer. The set of business rules may be variable for each buyer and/or globally set. When a payment is received from a seller and an adjustment is required, an adjustment management application retrieves the buyer's set of business rules from the seller. The set of business rules are then applied to attempt to match the received payment to one of the buyer's outstanding invoices. If the match is successful, the buyer's payment is processed.

A system and method for seller-assisted automated payment and adjustment processing is provided. A seller receives a payment from a buyer that does not match the seller's invoice and consequently requires an adjustment. An adjustment document creator receives the payment data from the buyer and retrieves buyer-specific order data from said seller to construct an adjustment document. A variety of adjustment documents may be created depending upon the actual adjustment required. The adjustment document may then be automatically routed to a set of one or more buyer-specific human reviewers for approval of the adjustment. The automated payment and adjustment processing system is preferably integrated with the seller's financial institution.

A coin handling apparatus (20, 50) having a coin discriminating means (21, 51) and a plurality of coin retaining means (22, 23, 24, 25, 52, 53, 54, 55) wherein at least one (25a, 29a, 55a, 59a) of coin outlets is disposed on the side surface (39, 69) of the coin discriminating means. Since the number of coin outlets being disposed on the bottom surface of the coin discriminating means (21, 51) is decreased, the width of the coin discriminating means can be decreased and the size of the means can be made small. The space defined by the decrease of the size can be utilized as a space for extending an auxiliary coin retaining means (26, 56), thereby increasing the capacity for change to be retained.
