DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0020] [1. Overview] First, an overview of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of post-discount management processing in this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of discount application data output processing in this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of post-discount result import processing in this embodiment.

[0021] In the reagent, pharmaceutical, or medical device industries, for example, there are operations in which transactions are made with customers at a fixed price and discounts are received from suppliers later in a lump sum, i.e., discounts (post-sale discounts) are received from suppliers after the sale. In the past, sales amounts were less than purchase amounts, resulting in losses, and companies were often in the red until the post-sale discounts were received. If the post-sale discounts could not be received, there was a risk that profits could not be made. Furthermore, in the past, it was difficult to appeal to suppliers for invoices for which the discount results had not yet been received, and it was not possible to confirm actual gross profits until the post-sale discounts were received from suppliers, making it impossible to confirm profits early.

[0022] Therefore, as shown in Fig. 1, this embodiment provides a mechanism for (1) executing purchase processing, (2) executing sales processing at the fixed price, (3) executing a post-discount request to the supplier, and (4) obtaining a post-discount result including the discount amount. Here, as shown in Fig. 1, in this embodiment, since the sales amount in (2) is smaller than the purchase amount in (1), there is a deficit at this point, so in (3) a post-discount request is made by referring to the post-discount unit price master, and in (4) a discount is made from the purchase amount based on the returned post-discount result, thereby generating a profit (gross profit = {100 x ¥1,000 - 100 x (¥1,100 - ¥200)} = ¥10,000).

[0023] That is, as shown in Figure 1 (3) and Figure 2, in the discount application data output process in this embodiment, a file of post-discount application is output to the supplier based on the post-discount application data, and a discount is applied for, and a post-discount number is assigned to each sales number row number when applying for a post-discount. Here, in this embodiment, it is possible to set the predicted post-discount unit price in the post-discount unit price master, and the information in the post-discount master may be obtained at the time of application and the post-discount application file may be output.

[0024] 1(4) and 3, in the post-discount result import process in this embodiment, the post-discount data (CSV) returned from the supplier is imported as purchase discount data to confirm the post-discount, and the discount confirmation flag in the discount application data, which is used to determine whether the post-discount has been confirmed, is updated. As a result, in this embodiment, the discount application number sent from the other party can be linked to the discount application data. Also, in this embodiment, whether the post-discount has been reflected can be confirmed by gross profit inquiry, and this can be confirmed on a slip-by-slip basis, so it is possible to see at a glance which slips have not received the post-discount.

[0025] [2. Configuration] An example of the configuration of the post-discount management device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.

Here, the sales statement data may be linked to a customer. The transaction management database 106a may also store purchase statement data in which the purchase quantity and purchase price of a product are linked together. The transaction management database 106a may also store a post-discount unit price master in which the brand and the post-discount unit price are linked together. Here, the post-discount unit price master may be linked to a customer. The post-discount unit price master may be linked to a product. The transaction management database 106a may also store a product master in which the product and the supplier are linked together. The transaction management database 106a may also store discount application data, post-discount result data, and / or gross profit linking data.

[0032] An example of the post-discount unit price master in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the post-discount unit price master in this embodiment.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, the conditions set in the post-discount unit price master are used to obtain the predicted final purchase price (predicted discount unit price) when entering orders and creating post-discount application data. Here, as shown in Fig. 5, in the post-discount unit price master in this embodiment, post-discount management codes (e.g., A3: brand, A4: brand + customer, or A5: brand + customer + product) can be set at various granularities as specific conditions for the post-discount unit price, and the master settings make it possible to obtain the predicted discount amount and to grasp the predicted gross profit before importing the post-discount results.

[0034] Returning to Fig. 4, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that comprehensively controls the post-discount management device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing based on these stored programs. Functionally, the control unit 102 conceptually includes a transaction acquisition unit 102a, a discount application creation unit 102b, a post-discount result acquisition unit 102c, and a result display unit 102d.

[0035] The transaction acquisition unit 102a acquires transaction data.

The transaction acquisition unit 102a may also acquire (create) sales statement data in which the sales quantity and unit sales price of a product are linked together. The transaction acquisition unit 102a may also register the transaction data in the transaction management database 106a.

[0036] The discount application creation unit 102b creates discount application data in which a post-discount unit price for a product is set. Here, the discount application creation unit 102b may create discount application data in which a post-discount unit price for a product is set based on the sales detail data, and send the discount application data to the supplier of the product. Alternatively, the discount application creation unit 102b may identify a post-discount unit price set in a post-discount unit price master linked to the brand of the product set in the sales detail data, create discount application data in which the post-discount unit price is set, and send the discount application data to the supplier of the product. Alternatively, the discount application creation unit 102b may identify a post-discount unit price set in a post-discount unit price master linked to the customer and brand of the product set in the sales detail data, create discount application data in which the post-discount unit price is set, and send the discount application data to the supplier of the product. The discount application preparation unit 102b may also identify the post-discount unit price set in the post-discount unit price master linked to the customer, product, and product brand set in the sales detail data, create discount application data in which the post-discount unit price is set, and send the discount application data to the supplier of the product.The discount application preparation unit 102b may also create discount application data in which the supplier and post-discount unit price of the product are set based on the product master and sales detail data, and send the discount application data to the supplier.The discount application data may also be linked and set with a confirmation flag indicating whether post-discount result data corresponding to the discount application data has been obtained.

[0037] The post-discount result acquisition unit 102c acquires post-discount result data in which a post-discount purchase unit price is set. Here, the post-discount result acquisition unit 102c may acquire post-discount result data in which a post-discount purchase unit price is set from a supplier, and update the purchase detail data based on the post-discount result data. Furthermore, the post-discount result acquisition unit 102c may acquire gross profit linking data that links the sales detail data with the updated purchase detail data. Furthermore, when the post-discount result acquisition unit 102c acquires post-discount result data corresponding to the discount application data from a supplier, it may update the confirmation flag set in the discount application data to "acquired."

[0038] The result display unit 102d displays a result screen in which the predicted discount amount and the actual discount amount have been set. Here, the result display unit 102d may display a result screen in which the predicted discount amount and the actual discount amount have been set based on the sales statement data, discount application data, and purchase statement data.

[0039] [3. Specific Examples] A specific example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0040] [Post-Discount Management Processing] An example of the post-discount management process in this embodiment will now be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the post-discount management device 100 in this embodiment.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, the transaction acquisition unit 102a acquires purchase detail data that is set by linking the purchase quantity and purchase unit price of the product from the supplier (step SA-1).

[0042] Then, the transaction obtaining unit 102a obtains sales statement data that is set by linking the sales quantity and unit sales price (quota price) of the product to Tokuzaki (step SA-2).

[0043] Then, the discount application creation unit 102b creates discount application data that sets the post-discount unit price of the product based on the sales detail data and the post-discount unit price master, and sends the discount application data to the supplier of the product (step SA-3).

[0044] Then, the post-discount result acquisition unit 102c acquires post-discount result data from the supplier, which sets the discounted purchase price corresponding to the discount application data, and updates the confirmation flag set in the discount application data to acquired (step SA-4).

[0045] Then, the post-discount result acquiring unit 102c updates the purchase details data based on the post-discount result data (step SA-5).

[0046] Then, the post-discount result acquiring unit 102c acquires gross profit linking data that links the sales statement data with the updated purchase statement data (step SA-6).

[0047] Then, the result display unit 102d displays a result screen on the output device 114 in which the predicted discount amount and actual discount amount are set based on the sales detail data, discount application data, and purchase detail data (step SA-7), and ends the process.

[0048] Here, an example of the post-discount management process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7 to Fig. 11. Fig. 7 to Fig. 9 are diagrams showing an example of the post-discount management process in this embodiment. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are diagrams showing an example of a result screen in this embodiment.

[0049] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, the post-discount application data output process involves outputting discount application data based on sales detail data, converting it into each supplier's format using an EDI conversion tool, and sending the discount application data to the supplier. When a post-discount application is made, the discount application data table is updated. Note that sales numbers (present in the discount application data) for which a post-discount application has been made will no longer be subject to extraction from the next time onwards, but they can be reissued. Also, in this embodiment, discount application data for which the import of post-discount results has been completed and the confirmation flag is set to 1 will not be issued under any circumstances.

[0050] 8, in this embodiment, as a post-discount result import process, a file of post-discount result data is received from the supplier, the data is imported into the system, and data is supplemented from the master as necessary, and the discount application data and purchase detail data are updated. Here, in this embodiment, the confirmation flag of discount application data that matches the update conditions of "post-discount result data.discount application number = discount application data.discount application number" and "discount application data.confirmation flag = 0 (unconfirmed)" is updated to confirmed.

[0051] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the purchase number and purchase line number are obtained under the condition "post-discount result data.discount application number = discount application data.discount application number", and the sales number and sales line number are obtained under the conditions "discount application data.sales number = sales detail data.sales number" and "discount application data.sales line number = sales detail data.sales line number", and as shown in Figure 8, when the results are updated, the sales detail data of the discount requester and the purchase detail data of the discount result are linked and managed using gross profit linking data.

[0052] As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, on the gross profit inquiry results screen, it is possible to set whether to check only sales slips where there is a difference between the predicted discount amount and the actual discount amount, and whether to check only sales slips that are in the red.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the gross profit inquiry results screen allows the user to see at a glance whether or not a post-discount has been applied to each sales slip, as well as the difference between the predicted discount amount and the actual discount amount. As shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, (1) = "predicted discount amount" = (sales detail data. cost amount - discount application data. post-discount unit price x sales detail data. number of sales), (2) = "predicted cost unit price" = discount application data. post-discount unit price, (3) = "predicted cost amount" = (discount application data. post-discount unit price x sales detail data. number of sales), (4) = "actual discount amount" = (sales detail data cost amount - purchase detail data. purchase amount), (5) = "actual cost unit price" = purchase detail data. purchase unit price, (6) = "actual discount amount" = purchase detail data. purchase amount, (7) = "actual gross profit amount" = (sales detail data. sales amount - (5)), and (8) = "discount difference" = ((1) - (4)).

[0054] [4. 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 the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0055] 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.

[0056] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
