An arrangement for processing value documents which, at a preparation station, prior to their processing by means of a value document processing apparatus are inserted into a value document container which is subdivided into several storage regions for value documents, wherein each of the storage regions has assigned thereto a storage region identification, the arrangement including: - a monitoring device (5, 15, 25) which is present at the preparation station and is adapted to automatically capture into which first storage region or into which first storage regions of the value document container the value documents of a first deposit, which were removed from a first delivery container, are inserted, and into which second storage region or into which second storage regions of the value document container the value documents of a second deposit, which were removed from a second delivery container, are inserted, - where applicable, a first capture device and, where applicable, a second capture device which are present at the preparation station, wherein the monitoring device or the first capture device is adapted to capture a first deposit identification (ID 16) of the first deposit and a second deposit identification of the second deposit, whose value documents are to be inserted into the value document container, and wherein the monitoring device or the first capture device or the second capture device is adapted to capture a container identification (B1, B2) of the value document container arranged at the preparation station, and the arrangement further including: - a protocol device which is connected to the monitoring device and, where applicable, to the first capture device and, where applicable, to the second capture device, and - a control device (8, 18) connected to the protocol device and/or an accounting device connected to the protocol device, wherein the protocol device is adapted to create linking information and transmit it to the control device (8, 18) and/or to the accounting device, which indicates to which at least one storage region identification (AB1, AB2,...) and to which container identification (B1, B2) the first deposit identification (ID 16) is linked and to which at least one storage region identification (AB1, AB2,...) and to which container identification the second deposit identification is linked, and wherein the control device (8, 18) and/or the accounting device is adapted to assign the value documents present in the respective storage region (AB1, AB2,...) of the respective value document container to the first or the second deposit, respectively, with the aid of the linking information transmitted by the protocol device. - a monitoring device (5, 15, 25) which is present at the preparation station and is adapted to automatically capture into which first storage region or into which first storage regions of the value document container the value documents of a first deposit, which were removed from a first delivery container, are inserted, and into which second storage region or into which second storage regions of the value document container the value documents of a second deposit, which were removed from a second delivery container, are inserted, - where applicable, a first capture device and, where applicable, a second capture device which are present at the preparation station, wherein the monitoring device or the first capture device or the second capture device is adapted to capture a container identification (B1, B2) of the value document container arranged at the preparation station, and the arrangement further including: - a protocol device which is connected to the monitoring device and, where applicable, to the first capture device and, where applicable, to the second capture device, and - a control device (8, 18) connected to the protocol device and/or an accounting device connected to the protocol device, - a protocol device which is connected to the monitoring device and, where applicable, to the first capture device and, where applicable, to the second capture device, and - a control device (8, 18) connected to the protocol device and/or an accounting device connected to the protocol device, wherein the protocol device is adapted to create linking information and transmit it to the control device (8, 18) and/or to the accounting device, which indicates to which at least one storage region identification (AB1, AB2,...) and to which container identification (B1, B2) the first deposit identification (ID 16) is linked and to which at least one storage region identification (AB1, AB2,...) and to which container identification the second deposit identification is linked, and wherein the control device (8, 18) and/or the accounting device is adapted to assign the value documents present in the respective storage region (AB1, AB2,...) of the respective value document container to the first or the second deposit, respectively, with the aid of the linking information transmitted by the protocol device.
