Invoice issuance system and method

[0019] Example one

[0020] Introduce in detail an invoice issuance system proposed in the first embodiment of the present invention. The system is a supermarket self-service terminal invoice issuance system based on server data storage business, adopting a client/server model, and the server is a traditional invoice management terminal , The client is a new self-service invoicing terminal. At the same time, network tax control equipment is added on the enterprise side to support enterprises' online taxation activities. This system realizes self-service terminal invoicing, invoice server storage and processing, network copying, tax declaration and other services through a complete data interaction mechanism.

[0021] Compared with the original commercial supermarket and other large-scale enterprise invoice management solutions, generally such enterprises have a complete set of internal data flow management system in the traditional invoice issuance management process. When consumers shop, they will get the purchase record voucher, which is our common shopping slip, which is the voucher for the consumer to issue an invoice. In the traditional invoicing business process, the user needs to use the shopping slip to communicate with the invoicing management staff at the service desk and explain the invoices to be issued, and then the invoicing management staff will issue the invoices required by the user according to the user's requirements and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0022] The system also requires the user to use the shopping slip as the user's self-service billing voucher, but the user will be faced with the billing self-service terminal when issuing the bill and no longer need the company to provide related service personnel. When the user provides the billing voucher, the system provides two ways to obtain the user's billing identification code: one method is for the user to directly enter the identification code on the terminal interface, for example, use the voucher acquisition device in the self-service billing terminal to receive user input The identification code entered by the terminal; another way is that the user obtains the identification code by scanning the paper or electronic identification code using the credential acquisition device. After the self-service invoicing terminal obtains the identification code, it transmits the identification code to the enterprise server. The shopping flow information acquisition module in the enterprise server obtains the user shopping flow information according to the identification code and the preset identification protocol. The flow information is analyzed to generate basic invoice data. After the basic invoice data is transmitted to the corporate tax control equipment, the actual invoice data is generated according to the basic invoice data and preset algorithms and displayed to the user. The user can select the invoice content that meets his needs according to the display result to complete the invoice printing and extraction work .

[0023] Between the self-service invoicing terminal, enterprise server and enterprise tax control equipment of this system, the data transmission can adopt the network data protocol format such as XML or JSON.

[0024] The self-service invoicing terminal obtains the identification code of the user invoicing. The identification code corresponds to the unique ticket information, as shown below:

[0025]

[0026]

[0027] The small ticket information can be parsed and stored in a certain structure, as shown in Table 1.

[0028]

[0029] Table 1

[0030] When issuing an invoice, associate the small invoice information with the invoice information to form the basic invoice data, as shown in Table 2.

[0031] name Description INVOICE_ID Invoice unique identifier INVOICE_DATE Invoice date CLIENT_NAME Invoice ……. Detailed invoice data, etc.

[0032] Table 2

[0033] According to the basic data format, the enterprise tax control equipment is called, and the corresponding actual invoice data is generated according to the established algorithm, as shown in Table 3.

[0034]

[0035] table 3

[0036] Accurately associate the actual invoice data and the corresponding small invoice information to generate invoice issuing data, and transfer this invoice issuing data to the enterprise server for storage. The invoice issuing data is as follows:

[0037]

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] Reference figure 1 , Shows a data flow chart of an invoice issuance system in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] The system includes: invoice printing equipment, voucher identification equipment, self-service invoicing terminal, enterprise server and enterprise tax control equipment. The enterprise tax control equipment supports network transmission mode and is connected to the tax bureau-side invoice management system.

[0042] The user can use the voucher identification device to input or scan the paper or electronic billing voucher to the self-service billing terminal, and the self-service billing terminal transmits the billing voucher to the enterprise server. The shopping flow information acquisition module in the enterprise server obtains the user's shopping flow information according to the billing voucher and the preset identification protocol; the invoice basic data generation module generates invoice basic data according to the shopping flow information. The enterprise server then transmits the basic invoice data to the enterprise tax control equipment. The enterprise tax control equipment generates the actual invoice data according to the basic invoice data and preset algorithms, and then transmits the actual invoice data to the self-service invoicing terminal via the enterprise server, which is printed by the invoice printing equipment. Into paper invoices.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention adopts a modern self-service terminal device, which greatly simplifies the user's invoice issuance process and reduces the enterprise operating expenses. In addition, network tax control equipment is used to reduce manual operations in the tax process of enterprises, effectively increase the speed of system data processing, and strengthen the safety and effectiveness of invoice management. The system users directly face the majority of consumers and support electronic billing vouchers, such as mobile apps, which improve user experience and increase corporate operating efficiency.

[0044] In summary, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention adopts a brand-new self-service terminal invoicing mode on the basis of compatibility with the original data transmission mode and storage system, which reduces manual participation in the data transmission process and strengthens the data Safety and effectiveness. For corporate users, it reduces the cost of corporate invoice management and improves corporate operating efficiency; for consumers, through good human-computer interaction, the user’s invoice issuance process is reduced, saving time and energy , Which helps to enhance the user’s enterprise service experience.
