After the project construction is completed, it is necessary to conduct acceptance and settlement of the project according to the contract provisions to achieve the project investment control target. Therefore, in addition to the statistics of the contract costs incurred by the project contract, the collection of many other non-contract project costs according to the project budget should also be carried out.

[0004] However, there is a lack of unified standards in the cost management methods for the non-contractual parts of related engineering projects, which leads to complex cost management of virtual contracts and lack of effective control over project engineering. Summary of the invention

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] During the project construction process, it is necessary to stipulate the project quality standards according to the project contract management content and improve the construction efficiency. After the project construction is completed, it is necessary to inspect and accept the project and settle the accounts according to the contract provisions to achieve the project investment control objectives. Therefore, in addition to the statistics of the contract costs incurred in the project contract, the collection of project costs according to the project budget also requires the collection of many other non-contract project costs, such as: construction project supervision fees, survey and design consulting fees, material price differences and other cost costs. The way in which virtual contract costs occur and the way in which they are collected are the same as those of real contracts, so that the statistics of project costs can be more accurate and complete, and project investment can be more effectively controlled.

[0044] The cost management methods for the non-contractual parts of related engineering projects mainly have the following problems:

[0045] (1) Inaccurate aggregation. That is, when the costs of uncontracted projects are aggregated, there may be problems with inaccurate aggregation. For example, cost types such as supervision fees, survey and design consulting fees, and material price differences may not be fully incorporated into the project's cost management system, resulting in inaccurate cost statistics and analysis, affecting the effective control of project investment.

[0046] (2) Complex management, that is, it is necessary to establish independent management systems and processes to manage the project costs without contracts in engineering projects, which increases the complexity of management. For example, it is necessary to conduct budget management, cost collection, financial management, acceptance and settlement separately, which makes the management process cumbersome and prone to management loopholes and errors.

[0047] (3) Lack of unified standards, that is, lack of unified standards and specifications. There may be differences in the management and collection standards of non-contracted project costs in engineering projects, which makes it difficult to compare and analyze the cost management of different projects, affecting the overall control of project investment.

[0048] To solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a project cost management system, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0049] The virtual contract classification allocation module 101 is used to obtain engineering projects, establish virtual contracts based on the engineering projects, classify the virtual contracts, and establish a management department for virtual contract categories.

[0050] The virtual contract associated project module 102 is connected to the virtual contract classification allocation module 101, and is used to parse the virtual contract, determine the basic contract information, enter the basic contract information into the virtual contract bill of quantities, and associate the management department of the virtual contract category, the virtual contract bill of quantities and the engineering budget project.

[0051] Specifically, the basic information of the contract includes: virtual contract name, virtual contract category, virtual contract expense list item BOQ, and the contract is inserted into the database to form a main table record.

[0052] Furthermore, when the virtual contract associated project module 102 detects that the database master table (i.e., virtual contract bill of quantities) record is successfully formed, the virtual contract ID (Identity document), virtual contract code, master table record ID and master table record code are obtained through the database query interface; the virtual contract list item BOQ set, the management department of the virtual contract category and the engineering budget code are associated and matched through the background association interface; among which, the main information of a single virtual contract bill of quantities includes virtual contract ID, virtual contract code, BOQ code, BOQ name, BOQ type, budget code, management department, unit of measurement, unit price, quantity, total price, etc.

[0053] For example, the basic contract information of the expense-type virtual contract is entered into the virtual contract bill of quantities, the management department of the expense-type virtual contract BOQ (Bill Of Quantity) is associated, and the expense-type virtual contract BOQ is associated with the project budget item through the project budget code.

[0054] The virtual contract cost generation module 103 is connected to the virtual contract associated project module 102, and is used to obtain the virtual contract identifier and the virtual contract bill of quantities identifier, determine the collection of management departments based on the virtual contract identifier and the virtual contract bill of quantities identifier, and use the collection of management departments to review the virtual contract, and update the payment list of the virtual contract according to the review results.

[0055] The virtual contract cost collection module 104 is connected to the virtual contract cost generation module 103 and is used to collect the cost of the updated virtual contract payment list according to the project budget to obtain the project cost summary result.

[0056] Specifically, the virtual contract cost collection module 104 is used to collect the contract cost items in the virtual contract payment list according to the engineering budget, and obtain the engineering project cost summary result through SQL (Structured Query Language) script.

[0057] Furthermore, the SUM_GROUP_BY function is called to obtain the project cost summary result, wherein the SUM_GROUP_BY function involves two parameters: the payment list of the virtual contract and the project budget code; wherein the project budget code is represented by PBC, and the corresponding cost summary value is represented by SUM_COST(PBC); the data structure is a key-value pair, the project budget code is the key (key), and the cost summary is the value (value), that is, {PBC: SUM_COST(PBC)}.

[0058] For example, the data structure of the payment list of the updated virtual contract is: {LG010402: 8000, LO09: 17000}; the grouped summary cost of the engineering estimate code is added to the total cost value of the engineering estimate code TOTAL_COST (PBC), and the latest cost value is obtained and stored in the database to complete the cost collection, that is, TOTAL_COST (PBC) = TOTAL_COST (PBC) + SUM_COST (PBC).

[0059] The present embodiment provides a project cost management system, which classifies virtual contracts, associates the management departments of the virtual contract categories, the virtual contract bills of quantities and the project budget items, uses the association relationship to determine the collection of centralized management departments, and then uses the collection of centralized management departments to audit the virtual contracts, thereby clarifying the person responsible for project cost management, strengthening the centralized management of expenses, and achieving more effective control over project investments; secondly, the payment list of the virtual contract is updated according to the audit results, the cost and expense management process of project management is digitized, and standardized management of costs and expenses incurred without contracts is achieved, ensuring accurate recording and accounting of costs, reducing cumbersome manual operations, and improving the efficiency of project cost management.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the virtual contract classification and allocation module 101 includes:

[0061] The classification unit 1011 is used to initialize the engineering project and classify the initialized engineering project according to a preset classification rule to obtain a virtual category.

[0062] Specifically, the virtual categories include virtual contracts for expenses, virtual contracts for equipment investment, and virtual contracts for construction investment; among them, the contract code of the virtual contract for expenses is set to XN77777, which is applicable to the management of costs incurred without contracts in the following parts of the budget items: compensation for reservoir flooding treatment, other expenses, price difference reserve, and loan interest; the contract code of the virtual contract for equipment investment is set to XN88888, which is applicable to the management of costs incurred without contracts in the following parts of the budget items: the equipment part of mechanical and electrical equipment and installation projects, and the equipment part of metal structure equipment and installation projects; the contract code of the virtual contract for construction investment is set to XN99999, which is applicable to the management of costs incurred without contracts in the following parts of the budget items: construction projects, the installation part of mechanical and electrical equipment and installation projects, the installation part of metal structure equipment and installation projects, temporary projects, and Maopingxi protection projects.

[0063] The establishing unit 1012 is used to obtain the engineering project code, perform field matching between the virtual contract category and the engineering project code, and establish a virtual contract management department based on the field matching result.

[0064] Specifically, the fields in the virtual contract classification record (ie, virtual contract category) are matched and associated with the project code field (project_code). If the match is successful, the contract management department information (purchase_order_mng_dept) of the current project is obtained, and the virtual contract management department is set according to the matching result.

[0065] Furthermore, the engineering budget code is a hierarchical code. A foreign key, the engineering budget code, is set in the virtual BOQ database table to associate it with the engineering budget item. Subsequently, statistical analysis of the contract BOQ data is performed through the engineering budget item.

[0066] The project cost management system provided in this embodiment realizes the standardized management of virtual contracts that occur without contracts by classifying virtual contracts. By establishing a virtual contract management department, it lays the foundation for the automated review of subsequent virtual contract payment lists, reduces the possibility of human errors and omissions, and improves the accuracy and reliability of project management.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the virtual contract cost generation module 103 includes:

[0068] The matching unit 1031 is used to obtain the virtual contract identifier and the virtual contract bill of quantities identifier, and determine the centralized management department set based on the virtual contract identifier and the virtual contract bill of quantities identifier by using the relationship between the management department of the virtual contract category, the virtual contract bill of quantities and the engineering budget items in the centralized management department set;

[0069] Specifically, the matching unit 1031 obtains the BOQ set of the virtual contract according to the input virtual contract ID, matches the BOQ set of the virtual contract according to the input virtual contract list item ID set, and then obtains the corresponding BOQ centralized management department set.

[0070] The review unit 1032 is used to divide the payment list of the virtual contract into multiple levels, send the payment list of the virtual contract after the multi-level division to the centralized management department for review, and update the payment list of the virtual contract based on the review result.

[0071] Specifically, the audit unit 1032 is used to divide the payment list of the virtual contract into multiple levels, and determine the audit token based on the set of unified management departments, audit the payment list of the virtual contract after the multi-level division through the audit token, and update the virtual contract payment list based on the audit result.

[0072] Furthermore, the audit unit 1032 obtains the token identity of the handling personnel set by the centralized management department according to the acquired BOQ centralized management department set, and only the handling personnel can audit the BOQ through their token identity; the audit unit 1032 sends a confirmation request to the handling personnel, and after receiving the token identity confirmation of the handling personnel, the audit unit 1032 sets the handling personnel of each BOQ centralized management department as the payment order co-signer and completes the financial payment confirmation; among them, the following parameters need to be provided for setting the payment order co-signer: payment order ID, process instance ID, handling personnel ID set (MNG_DEPT.OPERATERs).

[0073] For example, when the virtual contract is determined to be a fee-based virtual contract according to the virtual contract identifier, the budget item to which the cost of the fee-based virtual contract belongs can be preset, and its quotation is fixedly divided according to the cost category and the centralized management department of the engineering budget, and the entrustment type is set to automatic mode, that is, the contract amount automatically increases after the cost occurs. The specific usage procedures are as follows:

[0074] ① Quotation item hierarchical definition: define the contract quotation in the expense virtual contract by dividing it into first-level quotation and setting its attribute as payment item.

[0075] ②Contract quotation: The quotation items of the expense virtual contract XN77777 correspond to the hierarchical definitions of the quotation. The entrustment type should be set to 'A' (automatic), that is, the contract price cannot be determined in advance. The contract amount will increase automatically for each expense incurred. The unit of measurement is generally set to the total price item.

[0076] ③ Cost occurrence and payment: In order to strengthen the centralized management of expenses, the approval of payment applications and cost occurrence of virtual expense contracts must be carried out by the expense management department; in order to avoid duplication of payment order numbers, the payment order code structure of the virtual contract is set as: year (2 digits) + month (2 digits) + serial number (2 digits) + '-' + department code (2 digits). For example: a payment made by the Information Center in March 1999 may have the payment order number: 19990301-XX.

[0077] In addition, the contract forecast amount should be set in the review unit 1032 to avoid a warning that the cumulative payment amount is greater than the contract forecast amount when making payments.

[0078] Furthermore, when the virtual contract is determined to be an equipment investment virtual contract or a construction virtual contract based on the virtual contract identifier, the cost of the two types of virtual contracts belongs to the budget item randomly, and the quotation is divided into multiple levels according to the management department of the virtual contract. Before each payment, the contract must be changed and the cost is incurred. The specific usage procedures are as follows:

[0079] ① Hierarchical definition of quotation items: The quotation is defined as multi-level, and the first level is preset as a two-character code that identifies the department using the virtual contract, and the type is "HRC" (summary item); then, on this basis, each department defines the subordinate quotation items of the department; the hierarchical level depends on the specific situation, and it is only necessary to set the type of the bottom-level item to "POI" (payment item). For example, the quotation item for the cost incurred by the Changba Project Department for the first time in 1999 when no contract was signed can be defined as "CB9901".

[0080] ②Change processing: Equipment investment and construction virtual contracts must be changed before payment applications are made and costs are incurred; when a department needs to incur costs for construction investment or equipment investment without a contract, a new item should be added through changes, and then the planning and contract department should fill in the budget code, and finally the changed item should be approved. The entrustment method in the change quotation item should be set to 'R' (normal).

[0081] For batch-order expenses, the change category must be defined as 'batch' during change registration, and the budget amount approved in the batch must be entered in the contract forecast amount module to avoid a warning that the cumulative payment amount is greater than the contract forecast amount when making payments.

[0082] ③ Cost incurrence and payment: The department that needs to incur non-contract costs for equipment or construction shall apply for payment and incur costs according to the quotation items defined in the change quotation.

[0083] The present embodiment provides a project cost management system, which divides the payment list of the virtual contract into multiple levels, and sends the payment list of the virtual contract after the multi-level division to the centralized management department for review, thereby matching the corresponding level of the payment list of the virtual contract with the centralized management, and further clarifies the person responsible for the payment fee management in the virtual contract, strengthens the centralized management, and realizes more effective control over the project investment; and, based on the review results, the payment list of the virtual contract is updated, which realizes the standardized management of costs and expenses incurred without a contract, ensures the accurate recording and accounting of costs, and reduces the possibility of human errors and omissions through the automated processing and approval process of the centralized management department, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of engineering management.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0085] The system database module 105 is respectively connected to the virtual contract classification and allocation module 101, the virtual contract associated project module 102, the virtual contract cost generation module 103 and the virtual contract cost collection module 104, and is used to store the engineering project cost management data during the virtual contract engineering fee payment and cost generation process.

[0086] Specifically, the project cost management data during the payment and cost incurrence process of virtual contract engineering expenses include: virtual contract categories, management departments of virtual contract categories, payment lists of virtual contracts and project cost summary results, as well as the relationship between the management departments of virtual contract categories, virtual contract bills of quantities and engineering budget items.

[0087] Furthermore, the system database module 105 forms a BOQ sub-table of the virtual contract based on the association between the management department of the virtual contract category, the virtual contract bill of quantities and the engineering budget items.

[0088] Furthermore, the system database module 105 stores the data generated by the non-contractual project cost payment and cost occurrence process for subsequent settlement project cost tracing and proofreading.

[0089] The present embodiment provides a project cost management system, which, in a key business system of engineering construction project management with cost control as the core and contract management as the main line, uses automated scripts to aggregate non-contract project costs in engineering projects according to engineering budget estimates, thereby achieving accurate and complete statistics of project costs and improving engineering management efficiency. It also uses SQL scripts to process the entry, approval, payment, and voucher generation processes of virtual contract payment applications, thereby reducing tedious manual operations and improving engineering management efficiency.

[0090] The specific working process of a project cost management system is described below through a specific embodiment.

[0091] Embodiment 1:

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a virtual contract of expense type is selected. The steps of project cost collection based on the virtual contract of expense type include:

[0093] S201, the virtual contract classification allocation module defines all virtual contract classifications in the construction process of the engineering project and establishes a virtual contract management department.

[0094] In this step, the project is first initialized: the predefined virtual contract classification record is inserted into the database using the prepared program, the fields in the virtual contract classification record are matched and associated with the project code field (project_code), and if the match is successful, the contract management department information (purchase_order_mng_dept) of the current project is obtained, and the management department of the virtual contract category is set according to the matching result.

[0095] S202, the virtual contract association project module enters the basic information of the expense virtual contract into the system database, associates the management department of the expense virtual contract BOQ and associates the expense virtual contract BOQ with the engineering budget project through the engineering budget code. For example, the expense virtual contract bill of quantities is shown in Table 1 below.

[0096] Table 1:

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] In this step, the basic information of the virtual contract of expense type entered includes: virtual contract name, virtual contract classification, virtual contract expense list item BOQ, and the contract is inserted into the database to form a master table record (VPO).

[0100] S203, in order to strengthen the centralized management of expenses, the payment application and cost occurrence of virtual contracts of expenses must be automatically approved by the centralized management department of expenses through a process. The payment list of virtual contracts of expenses is shown in Table 2 below.

[0101] Table 2:

[0102]

[0103] In this step, the virtual contract cost generation module automatically sends the virtual contract to the relevant department personnel for review according to the management department corresponding to the BOQ; the query is initiated through the virtual contract ID (PO.ID) and the virtual contract list item ID set (BOQ.IDs) to obtain the set of management departments corresponding to the BOQ in the virtual contract payment.

[0104] First, the BOQ set of the virtual contract is matched in the database according to the input virtual contract ID, and the BOQ set of the virtual contract is matched according to the input virtual contract list item ID set to obtain the corresponding BOQ centralized management department set (BOQ.MNG_DEPTs).

[0105] Secondly, according to the acquired BOQ centralized management department set, the token identity (MNG_DEPT.OPERATOR) of the operator set by the department is obtained. Only the operator can review the BOQ through his token identity. Send a confirmation request to the operator. After receiving the token identity confirmation of the operator, set the operator of each BOQ centralized management department as the payment order countersigner and complete the financial payment confirmation.

[0106] S204, based on the virtual contract payment order for engineering expenses (contract cost items), the virtual contract cost collection module opens items according to the engineering budget and collects them through an automated script.

[0107] In this step, the virtual contract payment list obtained in step S203 is grouped and summarized according to the engineering budget code. For example, as shown in Table 3 below, the data structure of the payment list of the updated virtual contract is: {LG010402: 8000, LO09: 17000}; the engineering budget code grouped and summarized costs are added to the engineering budget code total cost value TOTAL_COST (PBC) to obtain the latest cost value and store it in the database to complete the cost aggregation, that is, TOTAL_COST (PBC) = TOTAL_COST (PBC) + SUM_COST (PBC).

[0108] Table 3:

[0109] Estimated code Estimated Name Cost LG010402 Construction project supervision fee 8000 LO09 Material price difference 17000
