Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an accounting support device, an accounting support method, and an accounting support program.

Background Art

[0002] A condominium management company performs combined accounting processing on behalf of a condominium management association within its management consignment business. In a condominium management company, as part of its management business, it conducts accounting processing for each purpose such as management fees, reserve funds, and parking lots, and needs to create an annual budget for its revenue and expenditure and obtain approval from the condominium management association. Furthermore, every month, it is necessary to summarize the progress of budget consumption and the incurred expenses. In addition, within the management business, payment processing is performed based on invoices addressed to the condominium management association. In the payment processing, it is necessary to select an expense item, but if the operator is different or the confirmation operation is not established, the payment processing is often performed for an item different from the original budget. Furthermore, at the time of settlement, when noticing the difference from the budget item, the correction of the account item by journal entry has been delayed and has become necessary later.

[0076] [2. Specific Example] Hereinafter, using specific examples, information processing in master maintenance, budget registration, and payment registration by the PC 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9.

[0077] (First stage: Master maintenance) The method of setting and registering the combination of property code (property identification information) and accounting classification (accounting classification information) in the property - accounting classification master 40 used for budget registration and the method of setting and registering the accounting item (expense accounting item information) in the accounting item master 60 will be described in detail.

[0078] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the property - accounting classification master maintenance screen 30 in this specific example. As shown in FIG. 3, the property - accounting classification master maintenance screen 30 in this specific example includes a "property" selection input field 31, an "accounting classification" selection input field 32, a "property accounting name" input field 33, and a "register" button 34.

[0079] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the property - accounting classification master 40 in this specific example. As shown in FIG. 4, in the property - accounting classification master 40 in this specific example, master records 41 to 45 consisting of property code (property code and property name), accounting classification (accounting classification code and accounting classification name), and property accounting name are stored by property code and by accounting classification.

[0080] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the accounting item master maintenance screen 50 in this specific example. As shown in FIG. 5, the accounting item master maintenance screen 50 in this specific example includes a "subject code" input field 51, a "subject name" input field 52, and a "register" button 53.

[0081] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the accounting item master 60 in this specific example. As shown in FIG. 6, in the accounting item master 60 in this specific example, master records 61 to 69 consisting of subject code and subject name are stored by subject code.

[0082] First, in order to set and register the combination of property code and accounting classification, the user inputs an instruction to display the property - accounting classification master maintenance screen 30 shown in FIG. 3. Based on the instruction, the display unit 102c displays the property - accounting classification master maintenance screen 30 of FIG. 3 (however, all the selection input fields and input fields are blank) on the screen.

[0083] Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Property" selection input field 31 on the property - accounting classification master maintenance screen 30. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of property code options below the "Property" selection input field 31. The list of options for the "Property" selection input field 31 displays all the property codes in the property master (not shown in the figure) in which all combinations of property codes and property names are pre - registered as a list. The user selects the desired property code from within the list of options and inputs the property code into the "Property" selection input field 31 by pressing down the numeric part of the desired property code in the list of options. When the property code is input into the "Property" selection input field 31, the display unit 102c displays the property name corresponding to the input property code registered in the property master on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 31. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, when the property code "0001" is input into the "Property" selection input field 31, the display unit 102c displays the property name "Kyobashi Mansion" on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 31 for the property code "0001".

[0084] Next, the user presses down on the inverted triangle part of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32 on the Property - Accounting Classification Master Maintenance Screen 30. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of options for accounting classification codes below the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32. The list of options for the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32 displays all the accounting classification codes from an accounting classification master (not shown in the figure) in which combinations of all accounting classification codes and accounting classification names are pre - registered, as a list. The user selects an appropriate accounting classification code for the property code entered in the "Property" selection input field 31 from within the list of options, and by pressing down on the numeric part of the selected accounting classification code within the list of options, the accounting classification code is input into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32. When an accounting classification code is input into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32, the display unit 102c displays, to the right of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32, the accounting classification name corresponding to the input accounting classification code registered in the accounting classification master. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, when the accounting classification code "1" is input into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32, the display unit 102c displays the accounting classification name "General Accounting" to the right of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32 for the accounting classification code "1".

[0085] Next, the user directly inputs an arbitrary appropriate name for the property code entered in the "Property" selection input field 31 and the accounting classification code entered in the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 32 into the "Property - Accounting Name" input field 33. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, the same property - accounting name "General Accounting" as the accounting classification name is directly input into the "Property - Accounting Name" input field 33.

[0086] Finally, the user presses down on the "Register" button 34. The maintenance unit 102a accepts the input property code, accounting classification code, and property - accounting name, combines them, and stores and sets them as a master record in the Property - Accounting Classification Master 40.

[0087] By repeating the above process five times, as shown in FIG. 4, a property / account classification master 40 is generated that stores five types of master records 41 to 45 consisting of a property code, an account classification code, and a property account name, which were input via the property / account classification master maintenance screen 30 of FIG. 3.

[0088] In the property / account classification master 40 of FIG. 4, three types of combined master records 41 to 43 with the accounting classifications of "1: General Accounting", "2: Reserve Fund Accounting", and "3: Parking Lot Accounting" are stored for the property code "0001: Kyobashi Mansion". However, for the property code "0002: Takacho Mansion", only two types of combined master records 44 and 45 with "1: General Accounting" and "2: Reserve Fund Accounting" are stored.

[0089] When registering a budget using the property / account classification master 40 of FIG. 4, the accounting classifications of "1: General Accounting" and "2: Reserve Fund Accounting" can be used for both the property codes "0001: Kyobashi Mansion" and "0002: Takacho Mansion". However, the accounting classification of "3: Parking Lot Accounting" can be used for the property code "0001: Kyobashi Mansion", but cannot be used for the property code "0002: Takacho Mansion".

[0090] So far, in the property / account classification master maintenance screen 30 of FIG. 3, the input form of displaying a selection list and making a selection input to the selection input field via the selection list has been described. However, it is not limited to such an input form, and it is also possible to adopt an input form of directly inputting to the selection input field without displaying the selection list, or an input form of batch input to all selection input fields and input fields.

[0091] Next, for setting and registering accounting items, the user inputs an instruction to display the accounting item master maintenance screen 50 shown in FIG. 5. Based on the instruction, the display unit 102c displays the accounting item master maintenance screen 50 of FIG. 5 (however, all input fields are blank) on the screen.

[0092] The user directly enters a non-duplicate account code with other account items in the "Account Code" input field 51 of the account item master maintenance screen 50, directly enters any appropriate account name for the account code entered in the "Account Code" input field 51 in the "Account Name" input field 52, and finally presses down the "Register" button 53. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, the account code "6100" and the account name "Repair expenses" are directly entered in the "Account Code" input field 51 and the "Account Name" input field 52. The maintenance department 102a accepts the entered account code and account name, combines them, and stores and sets them as master records in the account item master 60.

[0093] By repeating the above process nine times, as shown in FIG. 6, an account item master 60 is generated in which nine types of master records 61 to 69 composed of the account codes and account names entered via the account item master maintenance screen 50 of FIG. 5 are stored.

[0094] (Second stage: Budget registration) A method of budget registration using the property / account classification master 40 in FIG. 4 and the account item master 60 in FIG. 6 generated in the first stage will be described in detail.

[0095] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a budget input screen 70 in this specific example. The budget input screen 70 in this specific example, as shown in FIG. 7, includes a "Property" selection input field 71, an "Account classification" selection input field 72, a "Year" selection input field 73, a "Subject" selection input field 74, a "Budget amount" input field 75, and a "Register" button 76.

[0096] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing budget data 80 in this specific example. In the property / account classification master 40 in this specific example, as shown in FIG. 8, budget records 8a to 8k composed of property (property code and property name), account classification (account classification code and account classification name), year, the start date and end date of the year corresponding to the year, subject (subject code and subject name), and budget amount (omitted in FIG. 8) are stored by property code, account classification, and subject.

[0097] First, for budget registration, the user inputs an instruction to display the budget input screen 70 shown in FIG. 7. The display unit 102c displays the budget input screen 70 of FIG. 7 (however, all the selection input fields and input fields are blank) on the screen based on the instruction.

[0098] Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Property" selection input field 71 on the budget input screen 70. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of property code options below the "Property" selection input field 71. All the property codes included in the master records 41 to 45 in the property - accounting classification master 40 of FIG. 4 are displayed as a list in the selection list of the "Property" selection input field 71. Specifically, the selection list of the "Property" selection input field 71 is a list of two types of property codes: the property code "0001" based on the master records 41 to 43 and the property code "0002" based on the master records 44 and 45. The user selects a property code from within the selection list and presses down the numeric part of the property code in the selection list to input the property code into the "Property" selection input field 71. When a property code is input into the "Property" selection input field 71, the display unit 102c displays the property name corresponding to the input property code registered in the property master on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 71. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, when the property code "0001" is input into the "Property" selection input field 71, the display unit 102c displays the property name "Kyobashi Mansion" on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 71.

[0099] Next, the user presses down on the inverted triangle part of the "Account Classification" selection input field 72 on the budget input screen 70. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of options for the account classification code below the "Account Classification" selection input field 72. In the list of options for the "Account Classification" selection input field 72, based on the master records of the property master, all of the account classification codes corresponding to the property code entered in the "Property" selection input field 71 among the master records 41 to 45 stored in the property - account classification master 40 of FIG. 4 are displayed as a list. Specifically, when the property code "0001" is entered in the "Property" selection input field 71, the list of options for the "Account Classification" selection input field 72 becomes a list of three account classification codes, namely "1", "2", and "3", based on the master records 41 to 43 corresponding to the said property code. On the other hand, when the property code "0002" is entered in the "Property" selection input field 71, the list of options for the "Account Classification" selection input field 72 becomes a list of two account classification codes, namely "1" and "2", based on the master records 44 and 45 corresponding to the said property code. The user selects an account classification code from within the list of options and presses down on the numeric part of the selected account classification code within the list of options to enter the account classification code into the "Account Classification" selection input field 72. When an account classification code is entered into the "Account Classification" selection input field 72, the display unit 102c displays, to the right of the "Account Classification" selection input field 72, the account classification name corresponding to the entered account classification code registered in the account classification master. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, when the account classification code "1" is entered in the "Account Classification" selection input field 72, the display unit 102c displays the account classification name "General Accounting" to the right of the "Account Classification" selection input field 72 for the account classification code "1".

[0100] Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Year" selection input field 73 on the budget input screen 70. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of year options below the "Year" selection input field 73. In the list of options for the "Year" selection input field 73, all the years in the year master (figure omitted) in which combinations of assumed range of years and their date ranges are pre-registered are displayed as a list. The user selects a year from within the list of options and presses down the numeric part of the selected year in the list of options to input the year into the "Year" selection input field 73. When the year is input into the "Year" selection input field 73, the display unit 102c displays, on the right side of the "Year" selection input field 73, the date range corresponding to the input year registered in the year master. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, when the year "2023" is input into the "Year" selection input field 73, the display unit 102c displays the date range "2023 / 04 / 01 to 2024 / 03 / 31" for the year "2023" on the right side of the "Year" selection input field 73.

[0101] Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Subject" selection input field 74 on the budget input screen 70. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of subject code options below the "Subject" selection input field 74. All the subject codes included in the master records 61 to 69 stored in the account subject master 60 of FIG. 6 are displayed as a list in the selection list of the "Subject" selection input field 74. Specifically, the selection list of the "Subject" selection input field 74 is a list of nine types of subject codes "1000", "3500", "5500", "5600", "5700", "6000", "6100", "6200", and "6300" based on the master records 61 to 69. The user selects a subject code from within the selection list and presses down the numerical part of the selected subject code in the selection list to input the subject code into the "Subject" selection input field 74. When a subject code is input into the "Subject" selection input field 74, the display unit 102c displays the subject name corresponding to the input subject code registered in the account subject master 60 of FIG. 6 on the right side of the "Subject" selection input field 74. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, the subject code "6100" is input into the "Subject" selection input field 74, and the display unit 102c displays the subject name "Minor repair cost" for the subject code "6100" on the right side of the "Subject" selection input field 74 based on the master record 67 of the account subject master 60 of FIG. 6.

[0102] Next, the user inputs an appropriate budget amount corresponding to the property code, accounting classification code, year, and subject code entered in the "Property" selection input field 71, "Accounting Classification" selection input field 72, "Year" selection input field 73, and "Subject" selection input field 74 into the "Budget Amount" input field 75. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, the budget amount "720,000" is input into the "Budget Amount" input field 75.

[0103] Finally, the user presses down the "Registration" button 76. The budget registration unit 102b receives the input content consisting of the property code, accounting classification code, year, subject code, and budget amount input via the budget input screen 70 in FIG. 7, and adds thereto the start date and end date of the year based on the date range corresponding to the year registered in the year master. These are put together and stored in the budget data 70 as a budget record and set and registered.

[0104] By repeating the above process 11 times, as shown in FIG. 8, budget data 80 in which 11 types of budget records 8a to 8k based on the input content input via the budget input screen 70 in FIG. 7 are stored is generated.

[0105] So far, in the budget input screen 70 in FIG. 7, the input form of displaying a selection list and performing a selection input to a selection input field via the selection list has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to such an input form, and it is also possible to adopt an input form of directly inputting to the selection input field without displaying the selection list, or an input form of collectively inputting to all selection input fields and input fields.

[0106] (Third stage: Payment registration) FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a payment input screen 90 in the present specific example. As shown in FIG. 9, the payment input screen 90 in the present specific example includes a "Property" selection input field 91, an "Accounting classification" selection input field 92, a "Posting date" input field 93, a "Scheduled payment date" input field 94, a "Payee" selection input field 95, a "Expense item" selection input field 96, a "Payment amount" input field 97, and a "Registration" button 98.

[0107] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a flow of information processing for payment registration by the PC 100 in the present specific example. Hereinafter, each step of the flow of information processing for payment registration shown in FIG. 2 will be described.

[0108] At least a property code, an accounting classification code, and a posting date are newly inputted into the "Property" selection input field 91, the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, and the "Posting Date" input field 93 respectively, or any of these is inputted for change (S11). At this point, it is not necessarily required that anything other than the property code, the accounting classification code, and the posting date be inputted into each selection input field and input field. However, a scheduled payment date may be inputted into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, a payee code may be inputted into the "Payee" selection input field 95, a subject code may be inputted into the "Expense Subject" selection input field 96, and a payment amount may be inputted into the "Payment Amount" input field 97.

[0109] The provisional acceptance section 102d provisionally accepts the inputted property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S12). The acquisition section 102e extracts, from among the budget records 8a to 8k stored in the budget data 80 of FIG. 8, a budget record having the year corresponding to the posting date provisionally accepted by the provisional acceptance section 102d and having the same combination as the combination of the property code and the accounting classification code provisionally accepted by the provisional acceptance section 102d (S13). The acquisition section 102e acquires the subject code included in each of the extracted budget records (S14).

[0110] At this point, when a subject code is inputted into the "Expense Subject" selection input field 96 (S15-Yes), and further when a scheduled payment date is inputted into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, a payee code is inputted into the "Payee" selection input field 95, and a payment amount is inputted into the "Payment Amount" input field 97, the display section 102c enables the "Register" button 98 to be pressed. Thereafter, the user presses the "Register" button 98 (S16). The timing of inputting the scheduled payment date into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, the payee code into the "Payee" selection input field 95, and the payment amount into the "Payment Amount" input field 97 may be before the input of the property code, after the input of the property code, before the input of the accounting classification code, after the input of the accounting classification code, before the input of the posting date, after the input of the posting date, before the input of the subject code, or after the input of the subject code respectively.

[0111] On the other hand, when no subject code is entered in the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 (S15-No), the display unit 102c generates a selection list which is a list of subject codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e, and enables the display of the subject code selection list by depressing the inverted triangle part of the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 (S31). The user displays the selection list and selects and enters a subject code in the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 via the selection list (S32). Instead of selecting and entering via the selection list, the subject code may be directly entered in the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 without displaying the selection list. When the subject code is entered, similar to the above, the provisional acceptance unit 102d provisionally accepts the property code, accounting classification code, and posting date that are entered at this time (S12), extracts the budget record by the acquisition unit 102e (S13), and acquires the subject code (S14).

[0112] When the "Register" button 98 is depressed by the user (S16), the payment registration unit 102f accepts, as payment information, the input contents such as the property code, accounting classification code, posting date, subject code, scheduled payment date, payee code, and payment amount entered in each selection input field and input field, all together (S17). The payment registration unit 102f determines whether the subject code of the payment information accepted by the payment registration unit 102f matches any of the subject codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. Here, if the determination result is a match (S18-Yes), the payment registration unit 102f stores and registers the payment information accepted by the payment registration unit 102f as a payment record in the payment data (figure omitted) (S19).

[0113] If the determination result is a non-match (S18-No), the payment registration unit 102f displays on the acceptance screen that the entered subject code is not selectable and is inappropriate, and the payment information cannot be registered (S21), does not store the payment information in the payment data, and similar to the above, the display unit 102c enables the display of the subject code selection list (S31).

[0114] Regarding the information processing flow of payment registration described above, as a first case, when a selection list is displayed and a selection input is made in the selection input field via the selection list, as a second case, when a direct input is made in the selection input field without displaying the selection list, and as a third case, when a batch input is made in all selection input fields and input fields, the three cases will be further described in more detail.

[0115] First, a description will be given of the first case where a selection list is displayed and a selection input is made in the selection input field via the selection list. In the first case, for the "Property" selection input field 91, "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, "Posting Date" input field 93, "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, "Payee" selection input field 95, "Expense Item" selection input field 96, and "Payment Amount" input field 97 (all blank fields) of the payment input screen 90 shown in FIG. 9, the input is carried out in this order.

[0116] First, for budget registration, the user inputs an instruction to display the payment input screen 90 shown in FIG. 9. Based on the instruction, the display unit 102c displays the payment input screen 90 of FIG. 9 (however, all selection input fields and input fields are blank fields) on the screen.

[0117] Next, the user presses down on the inverted triangle part of the "Property" selection input field 91 on the payment input screen 90. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of property code options below the "Property" selection input field 91. All of the property codes included in the budget records 8a to 8k in the budget data 80 of FIG. 8 are displayed as a list in the list of options for the "Property" selection input field 91. Specifically, the list of options for the "Property" selection input field 91 is a list of two types of property codes: the property code "0001" based on the budget records 8a to 8e and the property code "0002" based on the budget records 8f to 8k. The user selects a property code from within the list of options and inputs the property code into the "Property" selection input field 91 by pressing down on the numerical part of the property code in the list of options. When a property code is input into the "Property" selection input field 91, the display unit 102c displays, on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 91, the property name corresponding to the input property code registered in the property master. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, when the property code "0001" is input into the "Property" selection input field 91, the display unit 102c displays the property name "Kyobashi Mansion" on the right side of the "Property" selection input field 91 for the property code "0001".

[0118] Next, the user presses down on the inverted triangle portion of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92 on the payment input screen 90. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of options for accounting classification codes below the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92. In the list of options for the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, based on the budget records of the budget records, all of the accounting classification codes corresponding to the property code entered in the "Property" selection input field 92 among the budget records 8a to 8k stored in the budget data 80 in FIG. 8 are displayed as a list. Specifically, when the property code "0001" is entered in the "Property" selection input field 91 in the list of options for the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, it becomes a list of three types of accounting classification codes, namely, accounting classification codes "1", "2", and "3", based on the budget records 8a to 8e corresponding to the property code. On the other hand, when the property code "0002" is entered in the "Property" selection input field 71, it becomes a list of two types of accounting classification codes, namely, accounting classification codes "1" and "2", based on the master records 8f to 8k corresponding to the property code. The user selects an accounting classification code from within the list of options and presses down on the numeric part of the selected accounting classification code within the list of options to enter the accounting classification code into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92. When the accounting classification code is entered into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, the display unit 102c displays the accounting classification name corresponding to the entered accounting classification code registered in the accounting classification master on the right side of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, when the accounting classification code "1" is selected and entered in the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, the display unit 102c displays the accounting classification name "General Accounting" for the accounting classification code "1" on the right side of the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92.

[0119] Next, the user directly enters the posting date into the "Posting Date" input field 93. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the posting date "2023 / 06 / 30" is directly entered into the "Posting Date" input field 93. As a result, the provisional acceptance unit 102d determines that a new property code, accounting classification code, and posting date have been entered (S11) and provisionally accepts the entered property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S12). Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the property code "0001", accounting classification code "1", and posting date "2023 / 06 / 30" are provisionally accepted.

[0120] The acquisition unit 102e extracts budget records corresponding to the temporarily received property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S13), and acquires the item codes included in each of the extracted budget records (S14). Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the budget records having the year "2023" corresponding to the posting date "2023 / 06 / 30" and the same combination as the combination of the property code "0001" and the accounting classification code "1" are three budget records 8a to 8c. Therefore, these three budget records 8a to 8c are extracted (S13), and the three item codes "5500", "6000", and "6100" included in each of these three budget records 8a to 8c are acquired.

[0121] Regarding the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 on the payment input screen 90 in FIG. 9, since it is blank at this stage, the display unit 102c determines that no item code is input in the "Expense Item" selection input field 96 (S15 - No), and the display unit 102c generates a selection list that is a list of the item codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e and enables the display of the selection list (S31). Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the selection list generated at this time is a list of the three item codes "5500", "6000", and "6100" acquired by the acquisition unit 102e.

[0122] The user inputs the scheduled payment date directly into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94 on the payment input screen 90 in sequence. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the accounting date "2023 / 07 / 31" is directly input into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94. Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Payee" selection input field 95 on the payment input screen 90. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of payee code options below the "Payee" selection input field 95. In the list of options for the "Payee" selection input field 95, all the payee codes in the payee master (not shown in the figure) where the combinations of assumed payee codes and payee names are pre-registered are displayed as a list. The user selects a payee code from within the list of options and inputs the payee code into the "Payee" selection input field 95 by pressing down the numeric part of the selected payee code in the list of options. When the payee code is input into the "Payee" selection input field 95, the display unit 102c displays the payee name corresponding to the input payee code registered in the payee master on the right side of the "Payee" selection input field 95. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the payee code "100" is input into the "Payee" selection input field 95, and the display unit 102c displays the payee name "Obic Construction" for the payee code "100" on the right side of the "Payee" selection input field 95.

[0123] Next, the user presses down the inverted triangle part of the "Subject" selection input field 96 on the payment input screen 90. By pressing down, the display unit 102c displays a list of subject code options below the "Subject" selection input field 96. The list of options for the "Subject" selection input field 96 is the list of options that can be displayed by the display unit 102c as described above, and is a list of subject codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. The user selects a subject code from within the list of options and presses down the numeric part of the selected subject code in the list of options to input the subject code into the "Subject" selection input field 96 (S15 - Yes). When the subject code is input into the "Subject" selection input field 96, the display unit 102c displays, on the right side of the "Subject" selection input field 96, the subject name corresponding to the input subject code registered in the account subject master 60 of FIG. 6. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, when the subject code "6100" is input into the "Subject" selection input field 96, the display unit 102c displays the subject name "Minor repair expenses" for the subject code "6100" based on the master record 67 of the account subject master 60 of FIG. 6 on the right side of the "Subject" selection input field 96.

[0124] Next, the user directly inputs the payment amount into the "Payment amount" input field 97 on the payment input screen 90. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the payment amount "720,000" is directly input into the "Payment amount" input field 97. As a result, since input has been made in all the selection input fields and input fields, the display unit 102c enables the "Register" button 98 to be pressed down. Thereafter, the user presses down the "Register" button 98 (S16).

[0125] When the "Register" button 98 is pressed down by the user (S16), the payment registration unit 102f accepts, as payment information, the property code, accounting classification code, posting date, scheduled payment date, payee code, subject code, and payment amount input into each selection input field and input field (S17).

[0126] The payment registration unit 102f determines whether the item code of the payment information received by the payment registration unit 102f matches any of the item codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. As a result of the determination, if they match (S18-Yes), the payment registration unit 102f stores the payment information in the payment data and registers it (S19). If they do not match (S18-No), it means that the entered item code is not selectable and is inappropriate, and the fact that the payment information cannot be registered is displayed on the reception screen (S21).

[0127] Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the payment registration unit 102f accepts the property code "0001", accounting classification code "1", posting date "2023 / 06 / 30", scheduled payment date "2023 / 07 / 31", payee code "100", item code "6100", and payment amount "720,000" entered in each selection input field and input field. It determines that the received item code "6100" matches one of the three item codes "5500", "6000", and "6100" acquired by the acquisition unit 102e, and stores and registers these as a payment record in the payment data.

[0128] The above is the detailed flow up to the payment registration in the first case. Next, a second case where direct input is made into the selection input field without displaying the option list will be described. Even in the second case, input is performed in this order for the "Property" selection input field 91, "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, "Posting Date" input field 93, "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, "Payee" selection input field 95, "Expense Item" selection input field 96, and "Payment Amount" input field 97 (all blank fields) of the payment input screen 90 shown in FIG. 9.

[0129] First, similar to the first case, the user inputs an instruction to display the payment input screen 90 shown in FIG. 9, and the payment input screen 90 of FIG. 9 (however, all selection input fields and input fields are blank) is displayed on the display unit 102c on the screen.

[0130] Next, unlike the first case, the user directly inputs the property code and accounting classification into the "Property" selection input field 91 and the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92 of the payment input screen 90 without displaying the option list. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the user directly inputs the property code "0001" into the "Property" selection input field 91 and the accounting classification code "1" into the "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92.

[0131] Next, similar to the first case, the user directly inputs the posting date into the "Posting Date" input field 93. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the user directly inputs the posting date "2023 / 06 / 30" into the "Posting Date" input field 93. Thereby, the provisional acceptance unit 102d determines that the property code, accounting classification code, and posting date have been newly input (S11), and provisionally accepts the input property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S12). Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the property code "0001", accounting classification code "1", and posting date "2023 / 06 / 30" are provisionally accepted.

[0132] The acquisition unit 102e extracts the budget record (S13) and acquires the subject code (S14), similar to the first case. Further, the display unit 102c determines that the subject code has not been input (S15-No), generates an option list, and enables the option list to be displayed (S31), similar to the first case.

[0133] The user directly inputs the scheduled payment date into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94 of the payment input screen 90, similar to the first case. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the user directly inputs the posting date "2023 / 07 / 31" into the "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94. Next, unlike the first case, the user directly inputs the payee code and subject code into the "Payee" selection input field 95 and the "Subject" selection input field 96 of the payment input screen 90. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the user directly inputs the payee code "100" into the "Payee" selection input field 95 and the subject code "6100" into the "Subject" selection input field 96.

[0134] Next, similar to the first case, the user directly enters the payment amount into the "Payment Amount" input field 97 on the payment input screen 90. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 9, the payment amount "720,000" is directly entered into the "Payment Amount" input field 97. Similar to the first case, since all the selection input fields and input fields have been entered, the display unit 102c enables the "Register" button 98 to be pressed. The user presses the "Register" button 98 (S16), and the payment registration unit 102f receives the payment information (S17).

[0135] Similar to the first case, the payment registration unit 102f determines whether the item code of the payment information received by the payment registration unit 102f matches any of the item codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. As a result of the determination, if they match (S18-Yes), the payment registration unit 102f stores the payment information in the payment data and registers it (S19). If they do not match (S18-No), it indicates that the entered item code is not selectable and is inappropriate, and the fact that the payment information cannot be registered is displayed on the reception screen (S21).

[0136] Specifically, similar to the first case, in the example of FIG. 9, the payment registration unit 102f determines that the received item code "6100" matches one of the three item codes "5500", "6000", and "6100" acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. These are grouped together as a payment record and stored and registered in the payment data.

[0137] The above is the detailed flow up to the payment registration in the second case. Next, the third case where all the selection input fields and input fields are batch-entered will be described. In the third case, at the stage where the payment input screen 90 in FIG. 9 is displayed on the screen, as shown in FIG. 9, all of the "Property" selection input field 91, "Accounting Classification" selection input field 92, "Posting Date" input field 93, "Scheduled Payment Date" input field 94, "Payee" selection input field 95, "Expense Item" selection input field 96, and "Payment Amount" input field 97 are batch-entered.

[0138] Therefore, at this stage, the provisional acceptance unit 102d determines that the property code, accounting classification code, and posting date have been newly input (S11), and provisionally accepts the input property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S12).

[0139] Similar to the first case, the acquisition unit 102e extracts the budget records corresponding to the provisionally accepted property code, accounting classification code, and posting date (S13), and acquires the subject codes included in each of the extracted budget records (S14). Specifically, similar to the first case, in the example of FIG. 9, three subject codes, "5500", "6000", and "6100", are acquired.

[0140] Different from the first case, at this stage, since all the selection input fields and input fields have been input (S15-Yes), the display unit 102c enables the "Register" button 98 to be pressed. Thereafter, the user presses the "Register" button 98 (S16).

[0141] Similar to the first case, the payment registration unit 102f accepts, as payment information, the property code, accounting classification code, posting date, scheduled payment date, payee code, subject code, and payment amount input in each selection input field and input field (S17).

[0142] Similar to the first case, the payment registration unit 102f determines whether the subject code of the payment information received by the payment registration unit 102f matches any of the subject codes acquired by the acquisition unit 102e. As a result of the determination, if they match (S18-Yes), the payment registration unit 102f stores the payment information in the payment data and registers it (S19). If they do not match (S18-No), it is indicated that the input subject code is not selectable and is inappropriate, and a message indicating that the payment information cannot be registered is displayed on the acceptance screen (S21).

[0143] Specifically, similar to the first case, in the example of FIG. 9, the payment registration unit 102f determines that the received item code "6100" matches one of the three item codes "5500", "6000", and "6100" acquired by the acquisition unit 102e, and groups these together as a payment record, stores them in the payment data, and registers them.

[0144] The above is the detailed flow up to the payment registration in the third case. The flows of the first to third cases can be repeated, and by repeating, payment records are additionally stored in the payment data.

[0145] The accounting support device including the control unit including the provisional reception unit 102d, the acquisition unit 102e, and the payment registration unit 102f of the present invention can also be applied to a journal entry input screen, a screen for selecting a billing item for the resident, and the like.

[0146] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the item accounts selected in the budget from being different from the item accounts selected at the time of expense accounting, and the management work of the condominium management company can be made more efficient.
