[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an account item setting processing device, an account item setting processing method, and an account item setting processing program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

[0012] [Account item setting processor] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an account item setting processing device.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the account item setting processing device 10 of this embodiment executes an account item setting process when performing a journalizing process, thereby improving the efficiency of the account item setting process.

[0014] The account item setting processing device 10 is constructed based on a commercially available desktop personal computer. Note that the account item setting processing device 10 is not limited to being constructed based on a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but may also be constructed based on a portable information processing device such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smartphone, or tablet personal computer.

[0015] The account item setting processing device 10 comprises a control unit 11, a communication interface unit 12, a memory unit 13, and an input / output interface unit 14. The units comprised in the account item setting processing device 10 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via any communication path.

[0016] The communication interface unit 12 communicatively connects the account item setting processing device 10 to the network 100 via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 12 has a function of communicating data with other devices via the communication line. Here, the network 100 has a function of connecting the account item setting processing device 10 and the server 200 so that they can communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The data stored in the memory unit 13 may also be stored in the server 200, for example.

[0017] The input / output interface unit 14 is connected to an input device 21 and an output device 22. The input device 21 may be a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, or a monitor that cooperates with the mouse to realize a pointing device function. The output device 22 may be a monitor (including a home television), a speaker, or a printer. In the following, the input device 21 may be referred to as a keyboard or a mouse, and the output device 22 may be referred to as a monitor.

[0018] The storage unit 13 stores various databases, tables, files, etc. The storage unit 13 stores computer programs that work in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to issue commands to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to perform various processes. The storage unit 106 can be, for example, a memory device such as RAM (Random Access Memory) or ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0019] The memory unit 13 mainly stores various information related to business partners. The memory unit 13 stores a condition specification master 31, an item acquisition category master 32, and a general item master 33. Details of the condition specification master 31, the item acquisition category master 32, and the general item master 33 will be described later.

[0020] As information processing, the control unit 11 executes account item setting processing based on various data stored in the memory unit 13. The control unit 11 has an account item setting unit 41, a condition specification master change unit 42, a general account master change unit 43, and a display control unit 44.

[0021] The account item setting unit 41 sets account items from the input business partner and transaction information based on the condition specification master 31, account acquisition classification master 32, and general account master 33. The condition specification master change unit 42 can change the search priority of multiple key items set in the condition specification master 31. The general account master change unit 43 can change the transaction information for key items set in the general account master 33.

[0022] The display control unit 45 displays the account item setting processing data and the like on a monitor serving as the output device 22. The account item setting unit 41, the condition specification master change unit 42, and the general account master change unit 43 each execute the various processes described above based on various input information entered from the input device 21. The display control unit 45 displays the results of this processing on the monitor.

[0023] [Detailed configuration of memory unit] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the creditor's condition acquisition master, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the debitor's condition acquisition master.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, the condition specification master 31 has a credit side condition acquisition master and a debit side condition acquisition master. As shown in Fig. 2, the credit side condition acquisition master is registered with an associated account acquisition category, a debit / credit category, an item, a required category, a priority, and a display name. As shown in Fig. 3, the debit side condition acquisition master is similarly registered with an associated account acquisition category, a debit / credit category, an item, a required category, a priority, and a display name.

[0025] Here, the account acquisition category is, for example, 1: sales, 2: cost of sales, 3: selling and general administrative expenses, etc. The debit / credit category is 1: credit, 0: debit. The items are the key item numbers (1 to 7) described below. Required categories are marked with a circle when applicable. The priority is the priority during search. The display name is, for example, customer (business partner), sales office, product, delivery destination, etc.

[0026] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the subject acquisition category master.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the subject acquisition category master 32 registers subject acquisition categories in association with display names. Here, subject acquisition categories are, for example, the aforementioned 1: sales, 2: cost of sales, 3: selling and general administrative expenses, etc. Display names are, for example, sales, cost of sales, selling and general administrative expenses, etc. In other words, the subject acquisition category master 32 derives display names for subject acquisition categories.

[0028] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the general-purpose item master on the credit side, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the general-purpose item master on the debit side.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 1, the general account master 33 has a credit side general account master and a debit side general account master. As shown in Fig. 5, the credit side general account master is registered with the account acquisition type, debit / credit type, start of period, end of period, key items 1 to 7, and set items associated with each other. As shown in Fig. 6, the debit side general account master is similarly registered with the account acquisition type, debit / credit type, start of period, end of period, key items 1 to 7, and set items associated with each other.

[0030] Here, the start of the period is the business start date, and the end of the period is the business end date. Different transaction information can be registered for each of key items 1 to 7. Transaction information includes the customer (business partner), business establishment, product, delivery destination, etc. The items set on the credit side are account items such as product sales, product loan sales, raw material sales, and product sales, and the items set on the debit side are account items such as accounts receivable and long-term accounts receivable.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the condition specification master 31 is set according to the type of account acquisition category set in the general account master 33. When setting an account, the account is set according to the priority specified in the condition specification master 31. The "display name" set in the condition specification master 31 is used to display the name on the screen that maintains multiple key items in the general account master 33. As shown in Figure 2, in the case of the condition acquisition master on the credit side, the priority for account acquisition is set in the order of customer > sales establishment > product > delivery destination. Also, as shown in Figure 3, in the case of the condition acquisition master on the debit side, the priority for account acquisition is set in the order of customer > product.

[0032] That is, the account item setting unit 41 sets debit and credit account items from the inputted customer and transaction information based on the mutually associated condition specification master 31, account acquisition classification master 32, and general account master 33. Then, journalization processing is carried out using the set debit account items and credit account items.

[0033] The condition specification master modification unit 42 can also change the search priority of multiple key items set in the condition specification master 31. In the condition acquisition master on the credit side in Fig. 2, the priority order is customer > sales establishment > product > delivery destination, but the condition specification master modification unit 42 can change this priority order. In the condition acquisition master on the debit side in Fig. 3, the priority order is customer > product, but the condition specification master modification unit 42 can change this priority order.

[0034] Furthermore, the general-purpose account master modification unit 43 can modify transaction information for key items set in the general-purpose account master 33. In the general-purpose account master on the credit side in Figure 5, key items 1 to 4 are customer, business establishment, product, and delivery destination, but the general-purpose account master modification unit 43 can modify or increase or decrease key items 1 to 4. Also, in the general-purpose account master on the debit side in Figure 6, key items 1 and 2 are customer and product, but the general-purpose account master modification unit 43 can modify or increase or decrease key items 1 and 2.

[0035] [Example of account setting process 1] The journal entry process including the account item setting process will be specifically explained below. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a journal entry creation process screen, Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of debit / credit item acquisition information at the time of journal entry, Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of account item setting process from the general account master on the debit side, and Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of account item setting process from the general account master on the credit side.

[0036] As shown in Figure 7, the journal entry creation processing screen has the following processing options: "Sales," "Deposit," "Purchase," and "Payment," as well as "Journal entry creation" to start various processes and "End" to end various processes. Here, select "Sales," then "Journal entry creation" to start the process.

[0037] As shown in Figure 8, the account acquisition information associates the sales number, sales date, sales office, customer, delivery destination, and product. Here, select the sales number

[0200] , sales date [August 10th], sales office [Office 001], customer [Customer A], delivery destination [Delivery Destination 001], and product [Product 001].

[0038] The account item setting unit 41 then refers to the condition specification master (Fig. 2) and performs processing by matching the date, customer, and product information with the general account master (Fig. 6). As a result, as shown in Fig. 9, in the debit side general account master, the sales date (start and end of period) and key item 1 (customer) match, and sales (bold in Fig. 9) with no other settings are found, and the set item [Accounts Receivable] is obtained and set.

[0039] Furthermore, the account item setting unit 41 refers to the condition specification master (Fig. 2) and performs processing by matching the information on the date, customer, sales establishment, product, and delivery destination with the general account master (Fig. 5). Then, as shown in Fig. 10, in the credit side general account master, sales (bold in Fig. 10) that match the sales date (start and end of period), key item 1 (customer), key item 2 (sales establishment), key item 3 (product), and key item 4 (delivery destination) are found, and the set item [product rental sales] is obtained and set.

[0040] Then, through journal entry processing, journal entries for accounts receivable / merchandise rental sales are generated.

[0041] [Example of account setting process 2] Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of a journal entry creation processing screen, Figure 12 is a diagram showing another example of debit and credit account acquisition information at the time of journal entry, Figure 13 is a diagram showing another example of account item setting processing from the general account master on the debit side, and Figure 14 is a diagram showing another example of account item setting processing from the general account master on the credit side.

[0042] Also, as shown in FIG. 11, select "Sales" and then select "Journal Entry Creation" to start the process.

[0043] As shown in Figure 12, from the account acquisition information, select the sales number

[0300] , sales date [August 16th], sales establishment [Establishment 001], customer [Customer A], delivery destination [Delivery Destination 003], and product [Product 002].

[0044] Then, the account item setting unit 41 refers to the condition specification master (Fig. 2) and performs processing by matching the date, customer, and product information with the general account master (Fig. 6). Then, as shown in Fig. 13, in the debit side general account master, sales (bold in Fig. 13) that match key item 1 (customer) and key item 2 (product) are found, and the set item [Long-term accounts receivable] is obtained and set.

[0045] Furthermore, the account item setting unit 41 refers to the condition specification master (Fig. 2) and performs processing by matching the information on the date, customer, sales establishment, product, and delivery destination with the general account master (Fig. 5). As a result, as shown in Fig. 14, in the credit side general account master, sales (bold in Fig. 14) whose sales date (start and end of period) and key item 1 (customer) and key item 3 (product) match are found, and the set item [raw material sales] is obtained and set.

[0046] Then, through journal entry processing, journal entries for long-term accounts receivable / raw material sales are generated.

[0047] [Effects of this embodiment] The account item setting processing device 10 of this embodiment includes a general-purpose account master 33 in which account items are set for business partners and transaction information during a transaction period, and an account item setting unit 41 that sets account items based on the general-purpose account master from the input business partner and transaction information. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of the account item setting process.

[0048] In the account item setting processing device 10 of this embodiment, the general-purpose account master 33 can set a business partner and multiple pieces of transaction information as key items, and has a condition specification master 31 that sets search priorities for multiple key items for which multiple pieces of transaction information have been set, and the account item setting unit 41 sets account items from the input business partner and transaction information based on the condition specification master 31 and the general-purpose account master 33. This makes it easy to obtain and set account items from transaction information.

[0049] The account item setting processing device 10 of this embodiment has a condition specification master change unit 42 and a general-purpose account master change unit 43 that can change the search priority of transaction information for key items set in the general-purpose account master 33 and multiple key items set in the condition specification master 31. Therefore, the condition specification master 31 and the general-purpose account master 33 can be changed appropriately as needed.
