Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the contract information registration device 100 and the server 200 to be able to communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 106 may be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0018] An input device 112 and an output device 114 (corresponding to an output unit of the present invention) are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. The output device 114 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. The input device 112 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that cooperates with a mouse to realize a pointing device function. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as the monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as the keyboard 112 or the mouse 112.

[0019] Various databases, tables, files, etc. are stored in the storage unit 106. Computer programs for cooperating with an OS (Operating System) to give instructions to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes are recorded in the storage unit 106. For example, memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), fixed disk devices such as hard disks, flexible disks, and optical disks can be used as the storage unit 106.

[0020] The memory unit 106 includes contract header data 106a, contract detail data 106b, purchase data 106c, and administrative expense master data 106d.

[0021] The contract header data 106a manages basic information regarding contracts for projects (such as public works) that public interest corporations have concluded with contractors (such as government agencies, etc.) For specific examples of the data structure of the contract header data 106a and the information (item values) held in the contract header data 106a, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3.

[0022] The contract specification data 106b manages information on costs and contract amounts related to the work included in the contract. For specific examples of the data structure of the contract specification data 106b and information (item values) set in the contract specification data 106b, please refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3.

[0023] The purchase data 106c manages the expenses (such as outsourcing expenses) related to purchases incurred by the public corporation to carry out its business, by linking them to the contract (specifically, the work included in the contract) and the accounting items linked to the work included in the contract. Please refer to FIG. 2 for a specific example of the data structure of the purchase data 106c and the information (item values) set in the purchase data 106c. The purchase amount stored in the purchase data 106c corresponds to the cost amount.

[0024] The administrative expenses master 106d manages administrative expenses incurred by the public corporation to carry out its business, classified by the tasks included in the contract. Please refer to FIG. 2 for a specific example of the data structure of the administrative expenses master 106d and the information (item values) set in the administrative expenses master 106d.

[0025] 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the contract information registration device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, and required data, and executes various information processing based on these stored programs.

[0026] The control unit 102 conceptually includes a contract information registration unit 102a (including a counting unit, an acquisition unit, and a calculation unit of the present invention) and the like.

[0027] The contract information registration unit 102a compiles, from the purchase data 106c, expenses linked to the designated contract and the accounting items corresponding to the designated business.

[0028] The contract information registration unit 102a acquires the administrative expenses associated with the specified business from the administrative expenses master 106d.

[0029] The contract information registration unit 102a adds up the obtained total amount and the acquired administrative fee to calculate the contract amount for the specified service to be billed to the contracting party.

[0030] A specific example of the process executed by the contract information registration unit 102a will be described in detail in the following "2. Specific Example of Process."

[0031] [2. Specific examples of processing] Here, a specific example of the contract information registration process executed by the contract information registration device 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 3 etc. In particular, a specific example of the process will be described using as an example a case where payment is made to an outsourced contractor in May 2023 and invoiced to the contractor in June 2023. Note that this description is based on the premise that data is stored in the contract header data 106a, contract detail data 106b, purchase data 106c, and administrative expense master 106d as shown in Fig. 2. In addition, this explanation assumes that the operator instructs the display of the contract information registration screen MA (see Figure 3), that the contract information registration unit 102a receives the instruction and displays the contract information registration screen MA on the monitor 114, that the operator sets the contract number "K001" in the header area within the contract information registration screen MA, that the contract information registration unit 102a extracts data linked to the set contract number "K001" from the contract header data 106a and displays it in the header area, and that the operator presses the aggregation button (see Figure 3) provided within the contract information registration screen MA.

[0032] First, the contract information registration unit 102a totals the expenses linked to the contract number "K001" set as the accounting item corresponding to the business from the purchase data 106c for each business displayed in the details area of ​​the contract information registration screen MA, and displays the total amount in the details area. Here, for the business content "construction cost" displayed in the details area, the purchase amount "4,00,000" and the purchase amount "700,000" linked to the contract number "K001" set as the accounting item "outsourced construction cost" corresponding to the "construction cost" are totaled, and "4,700,000" is displayed in the "construction cost" column in the details area. In addition, for the work content "Labor costs" displayed in the details area, the purchase amount "5,000,000" linked to the accounting item "Research and design costs" corresponding to the "Labor costs" and the contract number "K001" is totaled, and "5,000,000" is displayed in the "Construction costs" column in the details area.

[0033] Next, the contract information registration unit 102a obtains, for each task displayed in the details area of ​​the contract information registration screen MA, the administrative expenses associated with the task from the administrative expenses master 106d based on the contract date "2023 / 04 / 01" displayed in the header area of ​​the contract information registration screen MA, and displays the obtained administrative expenses in the details area. Here, the record in the administrative expenses master 106d with a revision date of "2023 / 04 / 01" is referenced based on the contract date of "2023 / 04 / 01". Therefore, for the work content "construction costs" displayed in the details area, the administrative expenses of "2,400,000" linked to the work content "construction costs" corresponding to the "construction costs" are obtained, and "2,400,000" is displayed in the "administrative expenses" column in the details area, and for the work content "labor costs" displayed in the details area, the administrative expenses of "2,800,000" linked to the work content "design costs" corresponding to the "labor costs" are obtained, and "2,800,000" is displayed in the "administrative expenses" column in the details area.

[0034] Next, the contract information registration unit 102a calculates the contract amount for the work to be billed to the contractor "XX City" displayed in the header area of ​​the contract information registration screen MA by adding up the obtained total amount and the obtained administrative fee for each work displayed in the details area of ​​the contract information registration screen MA, and displays the calculated contract amount in the details area. Here, for the work content "construction costs" displayed in the details area, the total amount "4,700,000" and the administrative fee "2,400,000" are added together to calculate the contract amount "7,100,000", and "7,100,000" is displayed in the "contract amount" column in the details area. In addition, for the work content "Work costs" displayed in the details area, the aggregate amount "5,000,000" and the administrative costs "2,800,000" are added together to calculate the contract amount "7,800,000", and "7,800,000" is displayed in the "Contract amount" column in the details area.

[0035] Then, when the operator presses the registration button on the contract information registration screen MA, the contract information registration unit 102a updates the contract detail data 106b as shown in Figure 3 by storing the construction costs, administrative costs, and contract amount displayed in the details area on the contract information registration screen MA in the contract detail data 106b.

[0036] As described above, (1) the outsourcing purchase data (outsourcing purchase data linked to the contract number) generated for the contract information is aggregated to calculate the construction cost, (2) the administrative cost corresponding to the contract date and the work content code (if the construction cost is not 0 yen, the amount calculated by multiplying it by a factor) is obtained from the administrative cost master, and (3) the construction cost and administrative cost are added together to calculate the contract amount. In other words, in order to calculate the contract amount for a contract for a public interest corporation, the construction amount linked to the contract is aggregated, administrative costs are calculated, and the contract amount is calculated. This makes it possible to realize business efficiency by preventing calculation errors in the aggregation of the construction amount (cost amount), administrative costs, and contract amount, and eliminating the need for input. In addition, based on the operation of calculating the billing amount from the cost specific to public interest corporations, it is also possible to perform "calculation of administrative fees according to the rate according to the expense item" and "generation of billing data based on the expenses and administrative fees" specific to public works of public interest corporations contracted by the national and local governments.

[0037] [3. Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to goals 8 and 9 of the SDGs.

[0038] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0039] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, making it possible to contribute to Goal 16 of the SDGs.
