[Figure 4] It is a flowchart showing the operation when transmitting information regarding the destination of the invoice to the trading partner terminal in the information processing system shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 5] It is a chart showing the flow of information between each component when performing the outsourcing process for invoice processing in the information processing system shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 6]This flowchart shows the operation when an outsourced invoice processing service is performed in the information processing system shown in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 6 are diagrams showing an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0021] The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment comprises a management server 10, an operator terminal 20, a trading partner terminal 30, a client terminal 40, and a cloud service 50. The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment relates to a service for processing invoices that should be sent from a trading partner company where the trading partner terminal 30 is installed to a client company where the client terminal 40 is installed. In other words, with the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment, when a trading partner company issues an invoice for services performed by the trading partner company to a client company, conventionally the invoice would be sent from the trading partner company to the client company and the client company would process the invoice (specifically, inputting invoice data, creating an invoice list, etc.). In this embodiment, however, the management company that manages the management server 10 processes the invoice on behalf of the trading partner company. The management server 10 is a server that can be used via an internet connection and is provided as a virtual dedicated server built within a physical server that can be accessed via the internet. The management server 10 is connected to the operator terminal 20, trading partner terminal 30, client terminal 40, and cloud service 50 via a network such as an internet connection. Furthermore, the cloud service 50 is accessible via an internet connection, and employees of business partners can upload invoice data to the cloud service 50 using the business partner's terminal 30. Each component of this information processing system 1 is described below.

[0022] The operator terminal 20 includes a personal computer installed in the office of the management company that manages the management server 10. An operator, who is an employee of this management company, can send and receive information to and from the management server 10 by operating the operator terminal 20. Specifically, the operator can input information such as the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date of an invoice by operating the operator terminal 20.

[0023] The client terminal 30 includes a personal computer or similar device installed at a client company's business partner, which is responsible for issuing invoices to the client company, and is operated by an employee of that business partner company.

[0024] The client terminal 40 includes personal computers and other devices installed at client companies that would conventionally receive invoices from trading partners, and is operated by employees of these client companies.

[0025] The cloud service 50 is managed by the management company that manages the management server 10. For example, it allows the creation of a website in the internet space to upload invoice data (specifically, images of invoices) to that website. In this way, accounting personnel at client companies can upload the data of invoices they have issued from their client terminals 30 to the website created by the cloud service 50. The invoice data uploaded to the website is then sent from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10. It should be noted that such cloud service 50 websites can also be created for each department or person in the client company, as will be described later.

[0026] The management server 10 functions as a customer list generation means 12, an identification information assignment means 14, a recipient information generation means 16, and a recipient notification means 18 by executing a predetermined program. The customer list generation means 12 causes the operator terminal 20 to create a list of customer companies to which the client company will issue invoices. The list of customer companies includes information such as the customer company name, department name, contact person name, account information, telephone number, and the client company name, department name, and contact person name. The identification information assignment means 14 assigns identification information to each department or contact person of the client company. The recipient information generation means 16 generates invoice recipient information by adding the identification information of the client company's department or contact person to the address or email address to which the invoice will be sent. The recipient notification means 18 sends the invoice recipient information generated by the recipient information generation means 16 to the customer terminal 30 of the customer company. Details of the functions of these customer list generation means 12, identification information assignment means 14, recipient information generation means 16, and recipient notification means 18 will be described later.

[0027] A predetermined program executed by the management server 10 is stored in the management server 10's memory. Alternatively, the predetermined program may be transmitted to the management server 10 from an external device each time, and then executed by the management server 10.

[0028] Next, the processing flow of the information processing system 1 of this embodiment will be explained using the charts shown in Figures 2 to 6.

[0029] First, the operation when starting the invoice processing service in the information processing system 1 of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 is a chart showing the flow of information between each component when starting the invoice processing service, Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the operation when creating a customer list, and Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the operation when sending information regarding the recipient of the invoice to the customer terminal 30.

[0030] First, the customer list generation means 12 of the management server 10 causes the operator terminal 20 to create a list of customer companies that issue invoices to the client company. Specifically, an employee of the management company that manages the management server 10 requests the accounting staff of the client company to send past invoices that have been sent from customer companies to the client company. When past invoices are sent from the client company to the management company, the past invoices are scanned and the images are read. The read images of past invoices are displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 20. The operator, who is an employee of the management company, operates the operator terminal 20 and enters customer information while viewing the images of past invoices displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 20 (step St11). Specifically, when the customer list generation means 12 of the management server 10 receives login information from the operator terminal 20, it displays a customer information input screen on the monitor of the operator terminal 20. This allows the operator to enter customer information using the operator terminal 20. Furthermore, when login information is received from the operator terminal 20, a spreadsheet of customer information may be displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 20, and the operator may enter the customer information into this spreadsheet. The customer information entered by the operator via the operator terminal 20 includes the customer company name, department name, contact person name, account information, telephone number, client company name, department name, contact person name, etc. The customer information entered by the operator via the operator terminal 20 is sent to the management server 10.

[0031] The customer list generation means 12 generates a customer list based on customer information sent from the operator terminal 20 to the management server 10, and sends the generated customer list to the client terminal 40 of the client company (step St12). The accounting staff of the client company check the customer list that is sent from the management server 10 to the client terminal 40 and displayed on the monitor of the client terminal 40, and check whether there are any errors in the information on the customer list. If there are any errors in the information on the customer list, the accounting staff of the client company corrects the customer list. If there were no errors in the information on the customer list that was originally sent from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20, or if the information on the customer list is corrected, the accounting staff of the client company enters an approval command on the client terminal 40. The client company's accounting staff's confirmation of the customer list includes confirmation by email and confirmation on a spreadsheet of customer information. As a result, approval information is sent from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10 (step St13). Furthermore, the accounting staff of the client company enters information such as the client company's email address (which is the email address of the accounting staff of the trading partner company), the trading partner company's address, and telephone number into the client terminal 40. As a result, the client terminal 40 transmits the information such as the client company's email address, trading partner company's address, and telephone number to the management server 10 (step St13).

[0032] Furthermore, the creation of the customer list may be performed by an accounting staff member of the client company using a client terminal 40, rather than by an operator who is an employee of the management company using an operator terminal 20. In this case, the customer list created by the accounting staff member of the client company using the client terminal 40 is sent from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10.

[0033] Next, the identification information assignment means 14 assigns identification information to each department of the client company or to each person in charge of the client company (step St21). In the following description, we will explain the case in which characters such as aa, bb, cc, dd are assigned as identification information to each department of the client company or to each person in charge of the client company.

[0034] Subsequently, the recipient information generation means 16 generates recipient information for the list of business partners to which approval information has been sent from the client terminal 40 by adding the identification information of the client company's department or contact person to the address (specifically, the address of the management company of the management server 10), email address, and URL of the website of the cloud service 50 (step St22). For example, if the identification information of the client company's department or contact person is aa, and the address to which the invoice will be sent is "5th Floor, XX Building, 1-1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, △△△△ Co., Ltd.", the recipient information generation means 16 creates recipient address information such as "5th Floor, XX Building, 1-1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, △△△△ Co., Ltd., aa". Also, for example, if the identification information of the client company's department or contact person is aa, and the email address to which the email containing the invoice data will be sent is, for example, soufusaki@kanri.co.jp, the recipient information generation means 16 creates email address information such as soufusaki+aa@kanri.co.jp. Furthermore, for example, if the identification information of a department or contact person at a client company is "aa", and the URL of the website for the cloud service 50 to upload invoices is, for example, https: / / www.soufusaki.co.jp, the recipient information generation means 16 creates URL information such as https: / / www.soufusaki.co.jp / aa. Then, the recipient notification means 18 transmits the information regarding the recipient of the invoice generated by the recipient information generation means 16 to the client terminal 30 and displays it on the monitor of the client terminal 30 (step St23). As a result, the contact person at the client company can recognize the future recipient of paper invoices, the recipient of emails with invoice data attached, and the upload destination of invoice data by operating the client terminal 30.

[0035] Alternatively, the recipient notification means 18 may send the information regarding the recipient of the invoice, generated by the recipient information generation means 16, to the terminal of a printing company instead of the customer terminal 30, allowing the printing company to create a notice regarding the recipient of the invoice. In this case, the address information of the customer, sent from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10, is used as the recipient of the notice. This allows an employee of the management company managing the management server 10 to send the notice created by the printing company to the customer company. In yet another embodiment, the recipient notification means 18 may cause the printing machine of the management company managing the management server 10 to print the information regarding the recipient of the invoice, generated by the recipient information generation means 16, onto, for example, a postcard, to create a notice. In this case, the address information of the customer, sent from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10, is used as the recipient of the notice. This allows an employee of the management company managing the management server 10 to send the notice created by the company's printing machine to the customer company. The method of assigning identification information and the method of notifying customer companies of the recipient of the invoice are not limited to those described above.

[0036] Next, the processing flow when processing invoices in the information processing system 1 of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is a chart showing the flow of information between each component when the information processing system 1 performs the proxy processing of invoices, and Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the operation when the information processing system 1 performs the proxy processing of invoices.

[0037] The accounting staff of a trading partner company can either send a paper invoice to the management company of the management server 10, send an email with the invoice data (specifically, an image of the invoice) attached to the management server 10's email address using the trading partner terminal 30, or upload the invoice data to the cloud service 50's website using the trading partner terminal 30. When the accounting staff of the trading partner company sends a paper invoice to the management company of the management server 10, they send the paper invoice to the address of the invoice generated by the recipient information generation means 16, which is notified to the trading partner terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18. When the accounting staff of the trading partner company sends an email with the invoice data attached to the management server 10's email address using the trading partner terminal 30, they send the email with the invoice data attached to the email address of the invoice generated by the recipient information generation means 16, which is notified to the trading partner terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18. Furthermore, when an accounting staff member of a trading partner company uploads invoice data to the website of the cloud service 50 using the trading partner terminal 30, they access the website corresponding to the URL of the invoice recipient generated by the recipient information generation means 16, which was notified to the trading partner terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18, and upload information related to the invoice data.

[0038] Next, the operator, who is an employee of the management company of the management server 10, enters the invoice information using the operator terminal 20. Specifically, for paper invoices, the operator enters the invoice information, such as the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date, using the operator terminal 20 while looking at the paper invoice. The invoice information entered by the operator terminal 20 is sent to the management server 10. Alternatively, before the operator enters the invoice information using the operator terminal 20, an image of the invoice is scanned and this image is sent to the management server 10. Here, instead of the operator entering the invoice information using the operator terminal 20 while looking at the paper invoice, the image of the invoice scanned by the management server 10 is sent to the operator terminal 20, and the image of the invoice is displayed on the operator terminal 20. The operator then enters the invoice information while looking at the image of the invoice displayed on the operator terminal 20. Furthermore, since the address to which invoices are sent (specifically, the address of the management company of the management server 10) is accompanied by identification information of the client company's department or contact person, when an invoice is mailed from a trading company to the management company of the management server 10, the management company can sort the invoices according to the identification information of the client company's department or contact person. When an operator enters invoice information using the operator terminal 20, the operator also enters the identification information of the client company's department or contact person using the operator terminal 20. The identification information of the client company's department or contact person entered into the operator terminal 20 is transmitted to the management server 10. In this way, the management server 10 receives the invoice information entered by the operator terminal 20 based on the paper invoice sent from the trading company, including the invoice date, details, amount, payment due date, and identification information of the client company's department or contact person (step St31).

[0039] Furthermore, if the customer terminal 30 sends an email to the management server 10's email address with invoice data (specifically, an image of the invoice) attached, the management server 10 sends the invoice data to the operator terminal 20, where it is displayed. The operator, while viewing the invoice image sent from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 and displayed on the operator terminal 20, inputs the invoice information, including the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date, using the operator terminal 20. The invoice information entered by the operator terminal 20 is sent to the management server 10. In addition, since the email address to which the invoice is sent has identification information of the client company's department or contact person added, the management server 10 can detect the identification information of the client company's department or contact person for that invoice based on the email address from which the email with the invoice data was sent. In this way, the management server 10 receives the invoice information, including the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date, as entered by the operator terminal 20 based on the invoice image sent from the customer terminal 30 (step St32).

[0040] Furthermore, when invoice data (specifically, an image of the invoice) is uploaded to the website of the cloud service 50 by the customer terminal 30, the invoice data is sent from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10, and then from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20, where it is displayed. Information about the URL of the website where the invoice data was uploaded is also sent from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10, and then from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20. The operator, viewing the invoice image displayed on the operator terminal 20 after it has been sent from the management server 10, inputs the invoice information, including the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date, using the operator terminal 20. The invoice information entered by the operator terminal 20 is then sent to the management server 10. Additionally, because the URL of the website where the invoice data was uploaded includes identification information of the client company's department or contact person, the management server 10 can detect the client company's department or contact person for the invoice based on the URL of the website where the invoice data was uploaded. In this way, the management server 10 receives the invoice information, including the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date, as input by the operator terminal 20 based on the image of the invoice sent from the customer terminal 30 (step St32).

[0041] Then, the management server 10 transmits an image of the invoice and the input information from the operator terminal 20 regarding this invoice (specifically, information on the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date) to the client terminal 40 corresponding to the department of the client company (step St33). As a result, the accounting staff of the client company can process the payment of the invoice amount to the trading partner company (for example, bank transfer) based on the invoice image and input information displayed on the client terminal 40.

[0042] According to the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of this embodiment, which have the above configuration, when the program is executed, the management server 10 (computer) functions as a customer list generation means 12, an identification information assignment means 14, a recipient information generation means 16, and a recipient notification means 18. The customer list generation means 12 causes the operator terminal 20 to create a list of customer companies that issue invoices to the client company. The identification information assignment means 14 assigns identification information to at least one of the client company's departments and client company personnel based on the created list of customer companies. The recipient information generation means 16 generates recipient information that includes the identification information of at least one of the client company's departments and client company personnel assigned by the identification information assignment means 14. As a result, the person operating the client terminal 40 of the client company can see which department or person in the client company the invoice was sent to, thus improving convenience for the person operating the client company's terminal, which is the recipient of the invoice processing.

[0043] Furthermore, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of this embodiment, as described above, the recipient information generation means 16 generates recipient information by adding at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person to the address to which the invoice should be sent. In this case, for invoices sent by mail to the management company of the management server 10, the invoices can be sorted by client company department or by contact person based on at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person included in the address on the envelope containing the invoice, thereby reducing the burden of sorting invoices.

[0044] Furthermore, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of this embodiment, as described above, the recipient information generation means 16 generates recipient information by adding at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person to the email address to which the invoice data should be sent. In this case, emails with attached invoice data sent from the trading partner terminal 30 of the trading partner company to the management server 10 can be automatically sorted by client company department or by contact person based on at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person included in the recipient email address of the email, thereby reducing the burden of sorting invoices.

[0045] Furthermore, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of this embodiment, as described above, the recipient information generation means 16 generates recipient information by adding at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person to the URL to which the invoice data should be sent. In this case, the invoice data uploaded to the website of the cloud service 50 by the trading partner company's trading terminal 30 can be automatically sorted by client company department or by contact person based on at least one identification piece of the assigned client company department and client company contact person included in the URL of the website, thereby reducing the burden of sorting invoices.

[0046] Furthermore, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of this embodiment, as described above, the recipient notification means 18 transmits the invoice recipient information generated by the recipient information generation means 16 to the customer terminal 30 of the trading company or the terminal of the printing company, or causes the invoice recipient information generated by the recipient information generation means 16 to be printed by a printer. As a result, the person in charge at the trading company will be able to recognize the future recipients of paper invoices, the recipients of emails with invoice data attached, and the destinations for uploading invoice data.

[0047] Furthermore, the information processing system 1 and information processing method according to this embodiment are not limited to the above-described configurations, and various modifications can be made.

[0048] For example, in the above description, the identification information assignment means 14 assigns identification information to at least one of the client company's departments and / or contact persons based on the list of client companies created by the client company list generation means 12, and the delivery address information generation means 16 generates delivery address information that includes the identification information of at least one of the client company's departments and / or contact persons assigned by the identification information assignment means 14. However, this embodiment is not limited to this configuration. In another configuration of this embodiment, the identification information assignment means 14 may further assign identification information to at least one of the client company, the client company's departments, and / or contact persons based on the list of client companies created by the client company list generation means 12, and the delivery address information generation means 16 may further include the identification information of at least one of the client company, the client company's departments, and / or contact persons assigned by the identification information assignment means 14 when generating delivery address information. In this case, the person operating the client terminal 40 at the client company will be able to see which company is sending the invoice, or which department or contact person at the client company is responsible for it. This further improves convenience for the person operating the client company's terminal, which is handling the invoice processing on behalf of the client company.

[0049] Furthermore, the recipient information generation means 16 may generate a fax number as the recipient of invoices issued by the client company. The fax number generated by the recipient information generation means 16 may be sent to the client company's terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18, or the fax number may be sent to the printing company's terminal by the recipient notification means 18 so that the printing company can create a notice containing this fax number, or the fax number may be printed on the notice by the printing press by the recipient notification means 18, so that the person in charge at the client company can recognize the fax number when sending a paper invoice by fax. In addition, when generating a fax number as recipient information, the recipient information generation means 16 generates a different fax number for each department or person in charge at the client company. In this case as well, the person operating the client company's terminal 40 will know which department or person at the client company the invoice was sent to, thus improving convenience for the person operating the client company's terminal, which is the recipient of the invoice processing.
