Claim:
1. A method for processing value documents of different deposits using a value-document processing apparatus, having the steps of: a) inserting value documents of different deposits into one or more containers, while placing a separating element into the respective container at each boundary between the value documents of two different deposits in a container; b) transporting the containers into which the value documents of the different deposits were inserted to the value-document processing apparatus; c) transporting the value documents of the different deposits from the containers into an input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus, while removing the value documents from the respective container, along a removal direction, and inserting them into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus stack by stack; d) checking the value documents of the different deposits by the value-document processing apparatus, while counting the value documents stack by stack to establish a stack-based value-document number in dependence on the respective value-document type; e) automatically bringing to account the different deposits that were checked by the value-document processing apparatus; wherein a beginning position and, where applicable, also an end position of the respective deposit are established for each deposit upon insertion of the value documents and then transmitted to an accounting device; and upon insertion of the value documents for at least one contemplated deposit the value documents of the contemplated deposit are divided into at least two sub-stacks that are inserted into the same or into different containers; and wherein in the case when the value-document processing apparatus checks in immediate succession at least two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit that were inserted in the same or in different containers, then the value documents of the at least two sub-stacks are brought to account jointly, with consideration of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position established upon insertion.
