Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 6 are diagrams showing the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment.

[0021] The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a management server 10, an operator terminal 20, a customer terminal 30, a client terminal 40, and a cloud service 50. The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment relates to a proxy service for invoice processing to be sent from a customer company where the customer terminal 30 is installed to a client company where the client terminal 40 is installed. That is, when the customer company issues an invoice for the services provided to the client company by the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, conventionally, the invoice is sent from the customer company to the client company and the client company processes the invoice (specifically, input of invoice data, creation of invoice list, etc.). In the present embodiment, a management company that manages the management server 10 substitutes and performs the invoice processing. The management server 10 is a server that can be used through the Internet line, and is provided in a state where a virtual dedicated server is constructed in a physical server accessible via the Internet. The management server 10 is communicably connected to the operator terminal 20, the customer terminal 30, the client terminal 40, and the cloud service 50 via a network such as an Internet line. Further, the cloud service 50 can be used through the Internet line, and an employee of the customer can upload invoice data to the cloud service 50 using the customer terminal 30. Each component of such an information processing system 1 will be described below.

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

[0023] The customer terminal 30 includes a personal computer or the like installed in the company of the customer of the client company to which an invoice should be issued, and is operated by an employee of this customer company.

[0024] The client terminal 40 includes a personal computer or the like installed in the client company that conventionally receives an invoice from the customer company, and is operated by an employee of this client company.

[0025] The cloud service 50 is managed by a management company that manages the management server 10. For example, it constructs a website in the Internet space and enables the upload of invoice data (specifically, an image of the invoice) to the website. In this way, the accounting staff of the customer company can upload the data of the issued invoice to the website constructed by the cloud service 50 using the customer terminal 30. The invoice data uploaded to the website is transmitted from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10. Note that such a website of the cloud service 50 can also be generated for each department or person in charge of the client company, as will be described later.

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

[0027] The predetermined program executed by the management server 10 is stored in the memory of the management server 10. Note that the predetermined program may be executed by the management server 10 by being transmitted to the management server 10 from an external device each time.

[0028] Next, the processing flow of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described using the charts and the like shown in FIGS. 2 to 6.

[0029] First, the operation when starting the agency service for invoice processing in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. 2 is a chart showing the information flow between the respective components when starting the agency service for invoice processing, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation when creating a trading partner list, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation when transmitting information regarding the invoice destination to the trading partner 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 or the like to send the past invoices that have been sent from the customer company to the client company. When the past invoices are sent from the client company to the management company, the past invoices are scanned to read the images. The read images of the past invoices are displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 20. The operator, who is an employee of the management company, inputs the customer information while looking at the images of the past invoices displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 20 by operating the operator terminal 20 (step St11). Specifically, when the customer list generation means 12 of the management server 10 receives the login information from the operator terminal 20, it displays an input screen for customer information on the monitor of the operator terminal 20. As a result, the operator can input the customer information using the operator terminal 20. Also, when receiving the login information 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 input the customer information into this spreadsheet. The customer information input by the operator using the operator terminal 20 includes the company name, department name, name of the person in charge, account information, phone number, company name of the client company, department name, name of the person in charge, etc. of the customer company. The customer information input by the operator using the operator terminal 20 is transmitted to the management server 10.

[0031] The business partner list generation means 12 generates a business partner list based on the business partner information transmitted from the operator terminal 20 to the management server 10, and transmits the generated business partner list to the client terminal 40 of the client company (step St12). The accounting person in charge of the client company checks the business partner list transmitted from the management server 10 to the client terminal 40 and displayed on the monitor of the client terminal 40 to check whether there is any error in the information of the business partner list. If there is an error in the information of the business partner list, the accounting person in charge of the client company corrects the business partner list. When there was originally no error in the information of the business partner list transmitted from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20, or when there is no error in the information of the business partner list after the correction of the business partner list, the accounting person in charge of the client company inputs an approval instruction to the client terminal 40. Note that the confirmation of the business partner list by the accounting person in charge of the client company includes confirmation by email and confirmation on a spreadsheet of business partner information. As a result, approval information is transmitted from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10 (step St13). Also, the accounting person in charge of the client company inputs information such as the business partner email address, which is the email address of the accounting person in charge of the business partner company, the address and phone number of the business partner company, etc. to the client terminal 40. As a result, information such as the business partner email address, the address and phone number of the business partner company, etc. is transmitted from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10 (step St13).

[0032] Note that the creation of the business partner list may be performed not by an operator who is an employee of the management company using the operator terminal 20, but by the accounting person in charge of the client company using the client terminal 40. In this case, the business partner list created by the accounting person in charge of the client company using the client terminal 40 is transmitted from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10.

[0033] Next, the identification information providing means 14 provides identification information for each department of the client company or for each person in charge of the client company (step St21). In the following description, a case will be described in which characters such as aa, bb, cc, dd, etc. are provided as identification information for each department of the client company or for each person in charge of the client company.

[0034] Thereafter, for the list of trading partners from which the approval information has been sent from the client terminal 40, the destination information generation means 16 generates destination information by adding the address of the client company's department or the identification information of the person in charge of the client company 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 as the destination of the invoice (step St22). For example, when the identification information of the client company's department or the person in charge of the client company is aa, and the address as the destination of the invoice is "5th Floor, Building 〇〇, 1-1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo △△△△ Co., Ltd.", the destination information generation means 16 creates destination address information of "5th Floor, Building 〇〇, 1-1-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo △△△△ Co., Ltd. aa". Also, for example, when the identification information of the client company's department or the person in charge of the client company is aa, and the email address as the destination of the email to which the invoice data is attached is, for example, soufusaki@kanri.co.jp, the destination information generation means 16 creates email address information of soufusaki+aa@kanri.co.jp. Also, for example, when the identification information of the client company's department or the person in charge of the client company is aa, and the URL of the website of the cloud service 50 as the upload destination of the invoice is, for example, https: / / www.soufusaki.co.jp, the destination information generation means 16 creates URL information of https: / / www.soufusaki.co.jp / aa. Then, the destination notification means 18 transmits the information regarding the destination of the invoice generated by the destination information generation means 16 to the trading partner terminal 30 and displays it on the monitor of the trading partner terminal 30 (step St23). As a result, the person in charge of the trading partner company can recognize the future destination of the paper invoice, the destination of the email to which the invoice data is attached, and the upload destination of the invoice data by operating the trading partner terminal 30.

[0035] Note that the destination notification means 18 may transmit the information regarding the destination of the invoice generated by the destination information generation means 16 to the terminal of the printing company instead of transmitting it to the trading partner terminal 30, and cause the printing company to create a guidance document regarding the destination of the invoice. In this case, the address information of the trading partner transmitted from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10 is used as the name of the addressee in the guidance document. As a result, the employee of the management company that manages the management server 10 can send the guidance document created by the printing company to the trading partner company. Further, as another mode, the destination notification means 18 may cause, for example, a postcard or the like to print the destination information of the invoice generated by the destination information generation means 16 on the printing machine of the management company that manages the management server 10 to create a guidance document. In this case, the address information of the trading partner transmitted from the client terminal 40 to the management server 10 is used as the name of the addressee in the guidance document. As a result, the employee of the management company that manages the management server 10 can send the guidance document created by the in-house printing machine to the trading partner company. Note that the method of assigning the identification information and the method of notifying the destination of the invoice to the trading partner company are not limited to those described above.

[0036] Next, the processing flow when processing the invoice in the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a chart showing the flow of information between the respective components when performing the agency processing of the invoice processing in the information processing system 1, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation when the agency processing of the invoice processing is performed in the information processing system 1.

[0037] The accounting manager of the customer company sends a paper invoice to the management company of the management server 10, or uses the customer terminal 30 to send an email with the invoice data (specifically, an image of the invoice) attached to the email address of the management server 10, or uploads the invoice data to the website of the cloud service 50 using the customer terminal 30. At this time, when the accounting manager of the customer company sends a paper invoice to the management company of the management server 10, the paper invoice is sent to the address of the invoice recipient generated by the recipient information generation means 16 and notified to the customer terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18. Also, when the accounting manager of the customer company uses the customer terminal 30 to send an email with the invoice data attached to the email address of the management server 10, an email with the invoice data attached is sent to the email address of the invoice recipient generated by the recipient information generation means 16 and notified to the customer terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18. Further, when the accounting manager of the customer company uploads the invoice data to the website of the cloud service 50 using the customer terminal 30, the website related to the URL of the invoice recipient generated by the recipient information generation means 16 and notified to the customer terminal 30 by the recipient notification means 18 is accessed, and information regarding the invoice data is uploaded.

[0038] Next, an operator who is an employee of the management company of the management server 10 inputs the invoice information using the operator terminal 20. Specifically, for a paper invoice, the operator inputs the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date information as invoice information using the operator terminal 20 while looking at the paper invoice. The invoice information input by the operator terminal 20 is transmitted to the management server 10. Also, before the invoice information is input by the operator using the operator terminal 20, the image of the invoice is read by the scanner, and this invoice image is transmitted to the management server 10. Here, instead of the operator inputting the invoice information using the operator terminal 20 while looking at the paper invoice, the invoice image read by the scanner is transmitted from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20, and the invoice image is displayed on the operator terminal 20. The operator may input the invoice information while looking at the invoice image displayed on the operator terminal 20. Further, since the department of the client company or the identification information of the person in charge of the client company is added to the address as the invoice recipient (specifically, the address of the management company of the management server 10), when the invoice is mailed from the trading company to the management company of the management server 10, the management company can sort the invoices for each department of the client company or the identification information of the person in charge of the client company. Then, when the invoice information is input by the operator using the operator terminal 20, the operator also inputs the department of the client company or the identification information of the person in charge of the client company using the operator terminal 20. The identification information of the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company input into the operator terminal 20 is transmitted to the management server 10. In this way, the management server 10 receives the invoice date, details, amount, payment due date, and the identification information of the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company as the invoice information input by the operator terminal 20 based on the paper invoice sent from the trading company (step St31).

[0039] In addition, when an email with the invoice data (specifically, the image of the invoice) attached to the email address of the management server 10 is sent by the trading partner terminal 30, the invoice data is sent from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 and is displayed on the operator terminal 20. The operator inputs information on the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date as invoice information using the operator terminal 20 while viewing the image of the invoice sent from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 and displayed on the operator terminal 20. The invoice information input by the operator terminal 20 is sent to the management server 10. Also, since the identification information of the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company is added to the email address as the recipient of the invoice, the management server 10 can detect the identification information of the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company regarding the invoice based on the email address to which the email with the invoice data attached is sent. In this way, the management server 10 receives information on the invoice date, details, amount, and payment due date as the invoice information input by the operator terminal 20 based on the image of the invoice sent from the trading partner terminal 30 (step St32).

[0040] Also, when the billing data (specifically, the image of the billing statement) is uploaded to the website of the cloud service 50 by the customer terminal 30, after the billing data is sent from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10, the billing data is sent from this management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 and is displayed on the operator terminal 20. Also, the information of the URL of the website where the billing data is uploaded is also sent from the cloud service 50 to the management server 10 and then from this management server 10 to the operator terminal 20. The operator inputs the information of the billing date, details, amount, and payment due date as billing statement information on the operator terminal 20 while viewing the image of the billing statement sent from the management server 10 and displayed on the operator terminal 20. The billing statement information input by the operator terminal 20 is sent to the management server 10. Also, since the identification information of the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company is added to the URL of the website where the billing data is uploaded, the management server 10 can detect the department of the client company or the person in charge of the client company regarding the billing statement based on the URL of the website where the billing data is uploaded. In this way, the management server 10 accepts the information of the billing date, details, amount, and payment due date as the billing statement information input by the operator terminal 20 based on the image of the billing statement sent from the customer terminal 30 (step St32).

[0041] Then, from the management server 10, the image of the billing statement and the input information by the operator terminal 20 regarding this billing statement (specifically, the information of the billing date, details, amount, and payment due date) are sent 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 perform the payment process (for example, bank transfer process) of the billing amount to the customer company based on the image of the billing statement and the 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 the present embodiment configured as described above, by executing the program, the management server 10 (computer) functions as a trading partner list generation means 12, an identification information assigning means 14, a destination information generation means 16, and a destination notification means 18. The trading partner list generation means 12 causes the operator terminal 20 to create a list of trading partner companies that issue invoices to client companies. The identification information assigning means 14 assigns identification information to at least one of the departments of the client company and the persons in charge of the client company based on the created list of trading partner companies. Further, the destination information generation means 16 generates destination information including the identification information of at least one of the departments of the client company and the persons in charge of the client company assigned by the identification information assigning means 14. As a result, it becomes possible for the person operating the client terminal 40 of the client company to know which department or person in charge of the client company the sent invoice is for, so that the convenience for the person operating the terminal of the client company, which is the proxy for invoice processing, can be improved.

[0043] Also, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of the present embodiment, as described above, the destination information generation means 16 generates destination information by adding at least one piece of identification information of the department of the client company and the person in charge of the client company assigned to the address to which the invoice should be sent for the address of the invoice destination. In this case, for an invoice mailed to the management company of the management server 10, the invoice can be sorted for each department or person in charge of the client company based on at least one piece of identification information of the department of the client company and the person in charge of the client company included in the address of the recipient name on the envelope containing the invoice, so that the burden of sorting the invoice can be reduced.

[0044] Also, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of the present embodiment, as described above, the destination information generation means 16 generates destination information by adding at least one piece of identification information among the departments of the client company and the person in charge of the client company to the email address of the destination to which the claim data is to be sent. In this case, regarding the email with the claim data attached sent from the business partner terminal 30 of the business partner company to the management server 10, based on at least one piece of identification information among the departments of the client company and the person in charge of the client company included in the email address of the destination of this email, the claim data can be automatically sorted for each department or each person in charge of the client company, so that the burden of sorting the claims can be reduced.

[0045] Also, in the information processing system 1, management server 10, program, and information processing method of the present embodiment, as described above, the destination information generation means 16 generates destination information by adding at least one piece of identification information among the departments of the client company and the person in charge of the client company to the URL of the website to which the claim data is uploaded.

When generating the destination information, the destination information generation means 16 may further include the identification information of at least one of the partner company, the department of the partner company, and the person in charge of the partner company provided by the identification information providing means 14. In this case, since it becomes possible for the person operating the client terminal 40 of the client company to know which company is the partner company of the sender of the claim form, or where the department of the partner company or the person in charge of the partner company is, the convenience for the person operating the terminal of the client company, which is the proxy for processing the claim form, can be further improved.

[0049] Further, as the destination for sending the invoice issued by the trading partner company, the destination information generation means 16 may generate a fax number.

In this way, the person in charge of the trading partner company can recognize the fax number when sending the paper invoice by fax. Also, in this case, when generating a fax number as the destination information, the destination information generation means 16 generates different fax numbers for each department of the client company or for the identification information of the persons in charge of the client company. Also in this case, since it becomes possible for the person operating the client terminal 40 of the client company to know which department or which person in charge of the client company the invoice was sent to, the convenience for the person operating the terminal of the client company, which is the outsourcing destination of the invoice processing, can be improved.
