Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of financial accounting and benefit analysis technology, specifically providing a method and apparatus for calculating the benefits of products. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional financial accounting systems, telecommunications operators and other enterprises face numerous challenges that severely impact the efficiency and accuracy of product benefit accounting. Existing systems have significant shortcomings in data integration, rule flexibility, data flow efficiency, and dynamic monitoring capabilities, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern enterprises for refined management and data-driven decision-making.

[0003] (1) Difficulty in data integration

[0004] Existing systems struggle to accurately match heterogeneous data from multiple sources, such as revenue, costs, and assets, by product dimension, resulting in coarse-grained benefit accounting that fails to meet the demands of refined management. For example, revenue data might come from the BOSS system, cost data from the ERP system, and asset data stored in a data platform. The lack of a unified product coding and mapping mechanism between these systems leads to inefficient data integration. Furthermore, manually importing data is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to introducing human error, further reducing the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0005] (2) Accounting rules are solidified

[0006] Existing accounting rules are ill-suited to adapting to dynamic changes in business lines, such as shifts in the government and enterprise market versus the household market. Adjusting these rules often requires modifying the underlying code, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to introducing systemic risks. For example, when an expense (such as depreciation) is changed from a direct cost to an indirect cost, the existing system cannot respond flexibly, leading to inconsistencies between historical data and the new rules, affecting the consistency and accuracy of accounting results.

[0007] (3) Severe data silos

[0008] The lack of a unified mapping mechanism for multi-source data from ERP systems, BOSS systems, and data platforms leads to reliance on manual import in the accounting process, resulting in low efficiency and a high probability of errors. For example, revenue data may need to be extracted from multiple systems and manually integrated, increasing the complexity of data flow and the probability of errors. Furthermore, inconsistent data standards between different systems further exacerbate the difficulty of data integration.

[0009] (4) Lack of dynamic monitoring

[0010] Existing systems cannot trace historical accounting processes in real time, making it difficult to visualize and analyze trends in profitability. For example, management cannot quickly view historical profitability data for a product, nor can they analyze the reasons for changes in profitability. This lack of transparency in the accounting process not only affects management's accurate judgment of product profitability but also limits the company's ability to respond quickly to market changes.

[0011] The aforementioned problems severely restrict the ability of telecommunications operators and other enterprises to achieve refined management and data-driven decision-making. Summary of the Invention

[0012] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a highly practical method for calculating the benefits of individual products.

[0013] A further technical objective of this invention is to provide a reasonably designed, safe, and applicable product benefit accounting device.

[0014] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0015] A method for calculating product-specific benefits includes the following steps:

[0016] S1, Multi-source data fusion engine;

[0017] S2, Rule Configuration Management Center;

[0018] S3, Accounting Execution and Monitoring.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S1, data is automatically accessed and mapped from the multi-source heterogeneous data system, and unified management of product codes is achieved through the product library mapping table. The multi-source heterogeneous data system includes the ERP system, BOSS system, and data platform.

[0020] Furthermore, the incoming data is cleaned to remove duplicate and erroneous data, and converted into a unified data format. Data from different systems is matched to the same product code through a product mapping table, and the cleaned and matched data is stored in a central database for subsequent accounting.

[0021] Furthermore, the business volume table is associated with the product library mapping table, and costs are dynamically allocated according to actual business volume. Business volume data is collected from the business system, matched with the product mapping table, and costs are allocated to each product according to the business volume ratio. The allocation results are stored in the accounting result table.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S2, the rule configuration management center provides a visual interface that allows users to dynamically adjust accounting rules, create, edit, and delete accounting rules, store rules in the rule base for version control, provide a rule review process, and apply approved rules to the accounting process.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S3, the accounting process is executed, and real-time monitoring and result backtracking functions are provided. The accounting process is minimized by using database stored procedures, and two modes, scheduled triggering and manual triggering, are implemented to ensure that the accounting process is executed on time. The real-time monitoring interface displays the accounting progress and status, and recalculates historical billing data.

[0024] Furthermore, calculate the revenue, cost, and asset data for all products to generate gross profit, gross profit margin, and total cost profit margin indicators;

[0025] Summarize and statistically analyze the revenue and cost data of the large market segment and the government and enterprise segment, and calculate the gross profit, gross profit margin, total cost profit and total cost profit rate for each segment;

[0026] The revenue and cost data of selected key products are summarized and displayed, and the gross profit, gross profit margin, total cost profit and total cost profit rate of key products are calculated.

[0027] Furthermore, by executing the version repository, the accounting rules and data are bound to versions, allowing for backtracking of the accounting process for any billing period, version management of accounting rules and data, providing a data verification interface, and recalculating historical billing period data.

[0028] A product-based benefit accounting device includes: at least one memory and at least one processor;

[0029] The at least one memory is used to store a machine-readable program;

[0030] The at least one processor is used to call the machine-readable program to execute a product benefit calculation method.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the product-specific benefit calculation method and apparatus of the present invention have the following outstanding advantages:

[0032] (1) Efficiency improvement:

[0033] This invention significantly shortens the accounting cycle through automated data access and processing. Traditional manual accounting methods typically take several days or even weeks, while this system can reduce accounting time to the hourly level. For example, after using this system, a telecommunications operator reduced its accounting time from an average of 3 days to 2 hours, an efficiency improvement of approximately 37.5 times. This efficiency improvement not only reduces the need for human resources but also enables management to obtain data more promptly and respond quickly to market changes.

[0034] (2) Improved accuracy

[0035] By integrating multi-source data and automating processing, this invention eliminates errors caused by manual data import, improving data accuracy to over 99.9%. Traditional manual accounting methods, due to human factors and the complexity of data flow, typically have an accuracy rate of around 90%. This system ensures data consistency and accuracy through automatic matching and verification mechanisms. For example, after using this system, a company found that the error rate of its product benefit data decreased from approximately 10% to below 0.1%, significantly improving the reliability of its decision-making.

[0036] (3) Precision decision support

[0037] This invention provides a detailed, visualized performance dashboard, enabling management to intuitively understand the performance of each product. Through the overall product performance report, segmented performance reports, and key product performance reports, management can clearly see key indicators such as revenue, cost, and gross profit for each product. For example, a telecommunications operator used this system to discover that the gross profit of a key product had decreased by 15% year-on-year, allowing them to adjust their market strategy in a timely manner and avoid further losses. This precise decision support significantly enhances the company's market competitiveness.

[0038] (4) Enhanced flexibility;

[0039] The rule configuration management center of this invention allows users to dynamically adjust accounting rules to adapt to business changes. For example, if a company needs to change depreciation expenses from direct costs to indirect costs, a traditional system would require weeks of code modification and testing, while this system, through a visual interface, completed the rule adjustment within hours and recalculated historical data. This flexibility not only saves time and costs but also ensures the consistency and accuracy of the accounting results.

[0040] (5) Data-driven management optimization;

[0041] This invention supports enterprises in calculating break-even points and optimizing product pricing by periodically generating product-specific performance data. For example, a telecommunications operator discovered through this system that the cost-profit margin of a certain product was lower than the industry average, and promptly adjusted its pricing strategy, resulting in an 8% increase in the product's profit margin. This data-driven management optimization not only improves the company's profitability but also enhances its market competitiveness.

[0042] (6) System reliability and stability;

[0043] This invention employs a modular design, ensuring high system reliability and stability. Through data backup and recovery mechanisms, the system can operate 24 / 7, ensuring data security and business continuity. For example, one company, after using this system, has never experienced data loss or business interruption due to system failures, significantly improving its operational efficiency.

[0044] (7) Sustainable development and industry demonstration;

[0045] This invention not only improves the internal management efficiency of enterprises but also provides a solution that can be learned from by others in the industry. Through refined benefit accounting and dynamic monitoring, enterprises can better optimize resource allocation, reduce waste, and achieve sustainable development. For example, after using this system, a telecommunications operator increased its resource utilization rate by 15% and significantly reduced operating costs. This success story provides a valuable reference for the industry and promotes technological progress across the entire sector.

[0046] Through the aforementioned beneficial effects, this invention not only solves the key problems in the prior art, but also brings significant economic and social benefits to enterprises, providing strong support for the high-quality development of enterprises. Attached Figure Description
