[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of a notification operation support device, a notification operation support method, and a notification operation support program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0012] <Introduction> (Problems with conventional technology) First, we will explain the problems with the conventional technology. In fixed asset management, especially in companies with strict control management, applications for the acquisition, transfer, and disposal of fixed assets are approved. In fixed asset management, application content includes both items that have an accounting impact and items that do not. Therefore, companies have faced the challenge of being able to confirm the accounting impact of application content submitted through correction applications. Furthermore, fixed asset systems often use optional items such as analysis codes to manage information used in management accounting, such as segment information, and the significance of each item varies from company to company, creating a challenge.

[0013] Furthermore, for items that have set contents defined in the system's master data, it is possible to detect whether there are any errors in the changes by comparing the master setting value with the application information. However, for items that are set and used by companies at their discretion, there was an issue where when a specific item was modified, the contents that should have been changed as a set remained different, and no changes were made. As a result of the above issue, errors occurred in the modification and modification contents of the application information.

[0014] Therefore, the notification business support device 100 of the embodiment adds a master for managing related items, enables the linking of items to be checked in accordance with the company's operations, and highlights the items to be checked, thereby providing a notification business support device 100 that allows approvers who check application information to easily check the application information.

[0038] Returning to Fig. 1, we will continue to explain the configuration of the notification operation support device 100. The control unit 120 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the notification operation support device 100. The control unit 120 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. The control unit 120 has an acquisition unit 120a and a display control unit 120b.

[0039] The acquiring unit 120a acquires application information input by the applicant. For example, the acquiring unit 120a acquires information about the items of approval data and master data applied for by the applicant.

[0040] The display control unit 120b displays the approval data and the master data as acquired data on the screen of the approver's terminal device. Specifically, the display control unit 120b displays the acquired data in which the asset information data 130a, the depreciation information data 130b, the monthly depreciation information data 130c, the asset classification master 130d, the installation location master 130e, the asset type master 130f, the related item control master 130g, and the object classification master 130h, which are applied for by the applicant, are associated with each other.

[0041] The display control unit 120b highlights the combination of the target category and the related item associated with the related item control master 130g on the approver's screen by adding symbols and colors to the combination. For example, the display control unit 120b reads out the information on the target category and the related item set in the related item control master 130g, adds symbols and colors to the related items, and displays them on the approver's monitor 112. The display control unit 120b may display the information on the monitor 112, or may output the information to an external server, the approver's PC, or the like via the communication interface unit 110.

[0042] (Processing performed by the notification operation support device) The overall configuration of the notification operation support system will now be described with reference to FIG. 12. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the overall configuration of the notification operation support system according to the first embodiment. First, the notification operation support device 100 acquires application information from an applicant as a new application. Here, the application information acquired by the notification operation support device 100 includes each piece of approval data and each piece of master data. The approval data includes asset information data 130a, depreciation information data 130b, and monthly depreciation information data 130c. The master data includes an asset type master 130f, an installation location master 130e, an asset classification master 130d, and a related item control master 130g. The related item control master 130g is a master added to manage related items, and is a master that enables linking of items to be checked in accordance with the operations of the company.

[0043] Then, the notification operation support device 100 displays the approval data on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver based on the approval data and the master data. For example, when displaying the approval data on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver, the notification operation support device 100 displays the items set in the related item control master 130g using colors, symbols, and messages to alert the approver to any errors, etc.

[0044] In other words, the notification business support device 100 reads various data such as approval data and master data, and displays the related items that have been set using colors, symbols, and messages, thereby providing the approver with an approval screen that makes it easy for them to visually check.

[0045] Next, a screen displayed on the approver's monitor 112 will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a screen to be checked by the approver according to the first embodiment. Fig. 13 will be described using screen 40, screen 41, item 42, item 43, item 44, and item 45.

[0046] Screen 40 indicates that the acquired data displayed by the display control unit 120b for the information applied for by the applicant is a new application. Screen 41 displays a message urging the approver to take caution when checking the information applied for by the applicant. In screen 41 of FIG. 13, the display control unit 120b displays "*1" as the symbol, adds color to the symbol "*1," and displays the message "Please confirm that the items that make up the set for the segment-related items are correct" as a message urging caution. For example, the symbols, colors, and messages displayed by the display control unit 120b on screen 41 are not limited to the above examples.

[0047] Items 42 to 45 are the aggregated display of each approval data and each master data. Items 42 to 45 display the related items stored in association with the target category set in the related item control master 130g. Item 42 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Manufacturing cost" of the "Expense category, manufacturing cost" related item stored in association with the target category set in the related item control master 130g.

[0048] Item 43 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Kawasaki 2nd Factory Building A" in the "Installation location, Kawasaki 2nd Factory Building A" related item that is stored in association with the target category and set in the related item control master 130g.

[0049] Item 44 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Segment A" of "Analysis Code 1, Segment A," a related item that is stored in association with the target category and set in the related item control master 130g. Item 45 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Product A" of "Analysis Code 2, Product A," a related item that is stored in association with the target category and set in the related item control master 130g.

[0050] As described above, the notification business support device 100 can alert the approver to any errors in the information set in the related item control master 130g, which can be set arbitrarily, by displaying the information on the approver's screen using symbols, colors, and text.

[0051] (Processing performed by the notification operation support device) Next, the processing executed by the notification operation support device 100 will be described. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing the processing executed by the notification operation support device 100 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 14, when the notification operation support device 100 acquires application information from an applicant (step S101, Yes), the notification operation support device 100 sets each approval data and each master data of the acquired application information as acquired data. On the other hand, when the notification operation support device 100 has not acquired application information from an applicant (step S101, No), the notification operation support device 100 waits until it acquires application information.

[0052] Next, the notification operation support device 100 assigns symbols and colors to the related items set in the related item control master 130g among the collected data (step S102).Then, the notification operation support device 100 displays the collected data on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver (step S103), and ends the process.

[0053] (Effects of the First Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the notification operation support device 100 acquires application information applied for by an applicant, uses the acquired application information to generate acquired data, and assigns symbols and colors to the related items set in the related item control master 130g and displays them on the screen of the terminal device used by the approver. This allows the notification operation support device 100 to alert the approver to whether the specified combination of information has been applied for in a correct combination.

[0054] In addition, the notification business support device 100 can add a master for managing related items and set up a link between items to be checked in accordance with the company's operations, and can alert the approver to whether the specified combination of information has been applied for in the correct combination.

[0055] Furthermore, the notification operation support device 100 can also alert the approver to the related items set in the related item control master 130g, along with items set in the same target category.

[0056] <Embodiment 2> In the first embodiment, a display example is described for a case where the applicant's application is a new application, but the notification operation support device 100 to be disclosed can also display whether there is an error in the combination in the case of a correction application. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a display example is described for a case where the applicant makes a correction application.

[0057] (Functional configuration) The functional configuration of the notification operation support device 100 according to the second embodiment will be described. Fig. 15 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the notification operation support device 100 according to the second embodiment. The notification operation support device 100 according to the second embodiment has the same configurations as the communication interface unit 110, the input / output interface unit 111, the output device 112, the input device 113, the server 200, and the network 300 described in Fig. 1, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. Here, the storage unit 130 and the control unit 120, which have configurations different from those of the first embodiment, will be described.

[0058] The storage unit 130 has asset information data 130i, amortization information data 130j, and monthly amortization information data 130k in addition to the approval data and master data described in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the asset information data 130i, amortization information data 130j, and monthly amortization information data 130k are collectively referred to as actual data. Here, actual data refers to data before correction, and approval data refers to data after correction.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 16, the asset information data 130i stores the items of "accounting department," "reporting local government," and "installation location." Here, the stored "accounting department" is information that identifies the department that accounts for assets owned by the applicant or the organization to which the applicant belongs. The "reporting local government" is information that identifies the local government that reports the assets owned by the applicant or the organization to which the applicant belongs. The "installation location" is information that identifies the location where the assets owned by the applicant or the organization to which the applicant belongs are installed.

[0060] 16, the asset information data 130i stores "Second Manufacturing Department, Kawasaki City, Kawasaki Second Factory Building A" as the "accounting department, reporting municipality, installation location." In other words, the asset information data 130i stores that the department that accounts for assets owned by the applicant or the organization to which the applicant belongs is "Second Manufacturing Department," the municipality that reports the assets is "Kawasaki City," and the location where the assets are installed is "Kawasaki Second Factory Building A."

[0061] The asset information data 130i stores the items of "structure," "details," "analysis code 1," and "analysis code 2," as shown in Fig. 17. Using the example of Fig. 17, the asset information data 130i stores that the optional items for a "forklift" whose structure is "other than those listed above" are "segment A" and "product A."

[0062] As shown in FIG. 18, the asset information data 130a stores the following items: "Asset No.", "Asset Name," "Asset Classification," "Asset Type," "Accounting Department," "Declaring Municipality," and "Installation Location." Using the example of FIG. 18, the asset information data 130a stores "A100011-000, R Forklift II, Vehicle_Forklift, Vehicle Transporter, Second Manufacturing Department, Kawasaki City, Kawasaki Second Factory Building B" as the "Asset No., Asset Name, Asset Classification, Asset Type, Accounting Department, Declaring Municipality, Installation Location." That is, the asset information data 130a stores the asset number applied for by the applicant as "A100011-000," the asset name as "R Forklift II," the asset is classified as "Vehicle_Forklift" and is divided into the type "Vehicle Transporter," the accounting department is "Second Manufacturing Department," the reporting municipality is "Kawasaki City," and the installation location is "Kawasaki Second Factory Building B."

[0063] Furthermore, the asset information data 130a stores the items of "structure," "details," "analysis code 1," and "analysis code 2," as shown in FIG. 19. Explaining the example of FIG. 19, the asset information data 130a stores "other than those listed above, forklift, segment A, product A" as "structure, details, analysis code 1, analysis code 2." That is, in explaining the example of FIG. 19, the asset information data 130a stores that the optional items for the type "forklift" whose structure is "other than those listed above" are "segment A" and "product A."

[0064] As shown in FIG. 20, the asset type master 130f stores the items "asset type," "asset type," and "depreciation method." Using the example of FIG. 20, the asset type master 130f stores the asset type "building," the asset type "not subject to local tax," and the depreciation method "-" in association with each other, as shown in the first row of the table. The asset type master 130f also stores the asset type "building fixtures," the asset type "building fixtures," and the depreciation method "straight-line method" in association with each other, as shown in the second row of the table. The asset type master 130f also stores the asset type "vehicles and transportation equipment," the asset type "vehicles and transportation equipment," and the depreciation method "straight-line method" in association with each other, as shown in the third row of the table. The asset type master 130f also stores the asset type "tools, furniture, and fixtures," the asset type "tools, furniture, and fixtures," and the depreciation method "straight-line method" in association with each other, as shown in the fourth row of the table. Moreover, the asset type master 130f stores the asset type "machinery", the asset classification "machinery", and the depreciation method "straight line method" in association with each other, as shown in the fifth row of the table.

[0065] Next, returning to Fig. 15, the control unit 120 will be described. The control unit 120 in Fig. 15 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the notification operation support device 100. The control unit 120 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. The control unit 120 has an acquisition unit 120a and a display control unit 120b.

[0066] The acquiring unit 120a acquires application information entered by the applicant. For example, the acquiring unit 120a acquires information about each item of approval data, master data, and actual data requested by the applicant. Also, for example, the acquiring unit 120a acquires data information about the corrections requested by the applicant.

[0067] The display control unit 120b displays the approval data and the master data as acquired data on the screen of the approver's terminal device. Specifically, the display control unit 120b displays the acquired data in which the asset information data 130a, the depreciation information data 130b, the monthly depreciation information data 130c, the asset classification master 130d, the installation location master 130e, the asset type master 130f, the related item control master 130g, the object classification master 130h, the asset information data 130i, the depreciation information data 130j, and the monthly depreciation information data 130k applied for by the applicant are associated with each other.

[0068] The display control unit 120b assigns symbols and colors to the combinations of target categories and related items associated with the related item control master 130g on the approver's screen and displays them together with the acquired data. For example, the display control unit 120b reads out information on the target categories and related items set in the related item control master 130g, assigns symbols and colors to the related items, and displays them on the approver's monitor 112. Note that the display control unit 120b may display the information on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver, or may output the information to an external server, the approver's PC, or the like via the communication interface unit 110.

[0069] (Processing performed by the notification operation support device) Here, the entire system of the notification operation support device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 21. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the entire configuration of the notification operation support device 100 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 21, the notification operation support device 100 acquires correction data from an applicant as a correction request. Here, the correction data acquired by the notification operation support device 100 includes approval data, master data, and actual data. The approval data includes asset information data 130a, amortization information data 130b, and monthly amortization information data 130c. The master data includes asset classification master data 130d, installation location master data 130e, asset type master data 130f, and related item control master data 130g. The actual data includes asset information data 130i, amortization information data 130j, and monthly amortization information data 130k.

[0070] Then, the notification operation support device 100 displays the approval data on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver based on the approval data, master data, and actual data. For example, when displaying on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver, the notification operation support device 100 displays the items set in the related item control master 130g using colors, symbols, and messages to alert the approver to whether there are any errors in the application information.

[0071] In other words, the notification business support device 100 reads various data such as approval data, master data, and actual data, and displays the related items that have been set using colors, symbols, and messages, thereby providing an approval screen that makes it easy for the approver to visually check the areas to be corrected.

[0072] Next, the screen displayed on the approver's monitor 112 will be described with reference to FIG. 22. The display control unit 120b simultaneously displays the acquired data before and after correction, and highlights the items set in the related item control master 130g by adding symbols and colors. The display control unit 120b also highlights the items set in the related item control master 130g that have been corrected by adding colors and notes. For example, when an item set in the related item control master 130g is corrected, the display control unit 120b highlights the text of the corrected item by adding colors and notes. In other words, when there is an item set in the related item control master 130g that has a difference between the actual data and the approval data, the display control unit 120b highlights the text of all related items set in the target category of the related item control master 130g by adding colors and notes. However, if there is no difference in any of the related items for any one of the target categories set in the related item control master 130g, the display control unit 120b does not highlight the related items.

[0073] Fig. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a screen to be confirmed by an approver according to embodiment 2. Fig. 22 includes a screen 50, a screen 51, a screen 52, a screen 53, an item 54, an item 55, an item 56, and an item 57.

[0074] Screen 50 indicates that the acquired data displayed by the display control unit 120b for the information requested by the applicant is an amendment request. Screen 51 displays a message urging the approver to take caution when checking the information requested by the applicant. In FIG. 22, screen 51 displays "*1" as the symbol displayed by the display control unit 120b, coloring the symbol "*1," and displaying the message "Please be sure that the items that make up the set for the segment-related items are correct" as a message urging caution. For example, the symbols, colors, and messages displayed by the display control unit 120b on screen 51 are not limited to the above examples.

[0075] Screen 52 shows that the following items are information before correction, and screen 53 shows that the following items are information after correction.

[0076] Items 54 to 57 are the obtained and displayed approval data, master data, and actual data. Item 54 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Manufacturing cost" of the related item "Expense category, manufacturing cost" stored in association with the target category in the related item control master 130g.

[0077] Item 55 displays the symbol "*1" and colored "Kawasaki No. 2 Factory Building B" of the related item "Installation location, Kawasaki No. 2 Factory Building B" that is stored in association with the target category and set in the related item control master 130g.

[0078] Item 56 displays "Segment A" of "Analysis Code 1, Segment A" of the related items that are stored in association with the target category and are set in the related item control master 130g, with the symbol "*1" and color added. Also, item 57 displays "Product A" of "Analysis Code 2, Product A" of the related items that are stored in association with the target category and are set in the related item control master 130g, with the symbol "*1" and color added.

[0079] Now, let's compare the contents of the items before and after the correction. First, for item 54, the expense category of the related item after the correction is set to "cost manufacturing" in the related item control master 130g. The expense category of the related item before the correction was also "cost manufacturing," and it can be confirmed that there are no errors in the item description before and after the correction.

[0080] Next, for item 55, the installation location of the related item after the correction, which is set in the related item control master 130g, is "Kawasaki 2nd Factory Building B." The installation location of the related item before the correction was "Kawasaki 2nd Factory Building A," and it can be confirmed that the correction has been made.

[0081] Next, for item 56, the analysis code 1 of the related item after correction is set in the related item control master 130g is "Segment A." The analysis code 1 of the related item before correction was "Segment A," and although the installation location item has changed, there is no change in the description of the analysis code 1 item, and it can be confirmed that no changes have been made to the content of the item.

[0082] Next, for item 57, the analysis code 2 of the related item after correction is set to "Product A" in the related item control master 130g. Before correction, the analysis code 2 of the related item was "Product A", and although the installation location item has changed, it can be confirmed that the content of the analysis code 2 item has not been changed.

[0083] As described above, the notification business support device 100 displays the information set in the related item control master 130g, which can be set arbitrarily, on the approver's screen using symbols, colors, and text, thereby alerting the approver to the possibility of errors in the corrected data, including in items that are paired with the corrected item.

[0084] In addition, the notification business support device 100 highlights and colors the modified items among the items set in the related item control master 130g, thereby drawing attention to the correspondence between the items with the difference that caused the highlighting and the related items that need to be checked.

[0085] Furthermore, the notification business support device 100 can indicate that corrections may not have been completed for items set in the related item control master 130g that should have differences even though they are highlighted, if the text is not highlighted.

[0086] Furthermore, the notification operation support device 100 does not highlight items set in the related item control master 130g if there is no difference between the actual data and the approval data, eliminating unnecessary highlighting of items with no difference and allowing users to focus only on modifications to items that correspond to the modified item.

[0087] (Effects of the second embodiment) In the second embodiment, the notification operation support device 100 acquires the correction application information applied for by the applicant, and uses the acquired data to assign symbols and colors to the related items set in the related item control master 130g and display them on the screen of the terminal device used by the approver. In this way, the notification operation support device 100 can alert the approver to whether the combination of specified information has been applied for in a correct combination.

[0088] In addition, the notification operation support device 100 can add a master for managing related items and set up a link between items to be checked in accordance with the company's operations, and can alert the approver to whether the specified combination of information has been applied for in the correct combination.

[0089] In addition, the notification operation support device 100 displays the acquired data before and after correction on the monitor 112 of the terminal device used by the approver, and by assigning symbols and colors to the related items set in the related item control master 130g, it is possible to easily check whether there are any errors in the application information after correction.

[0090] In addition, the notification operation support device 100 also assigns symbols and colors to related items that are set with the corrected item, making it easy to check whether there are any errors in the application information after correction. It can be recognized.
