Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a business support device, a business support method, and a business support program. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-135498) discloses a business support device that collectively generates budget data that reflects rent and property management fees, thereby reducing the workload of business operators.

[0003] In this business support device, a standard budget data generation unit generates standard budget data including rent and property management fees to be collected based on past budget data including at least past rent and property management fees for the property. A setting unit sets a calculation method for the rent and a calculation method for the property management fee, respectively, and a calculation unit calculates the rent and property management fees to be collected based on the set calculation methods. The budget data generation unit then generates budget data by updating the standard budget data based on the calculated rent and property management fees to be collected.

[0004] This allows budget data that reflects rent and property management fees to be generated all at once, reducing the workload of business operators. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-135498 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] When any contract, not just a real estate contract, is made, the person in charge often inputs the contract details. In this input process, when inputting a billing item that charges an amount for a specified period (for example, two months' worth), such as a deposit or a fee, the person in charge must first calculate the amount to be charged for the specified period and then input it, which is very tedious and places a burden on the person in charge.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a business support device, a business support method, and a business support program that simplify the input of billing items for billing amounts for a specified number of periods, thereby reducing the burden on staff. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the business support device of the present invention has a screen display control unit that displays on a display unit a contract input screen including a billing amount input field for inputting the billing amount for each billing item under the contract, and a number of periods input field for inputting the specified number of periods for number of period billing items for which the amount corresponding to the specified number of periods is to be billed among the billing items; a calculation unit that calculates the billing amount for the number of period billing items corresponding to the number of periods under the contract by referring to a billing item master table that stores a calculation source item attribute classification that indicates the item attribute used to calculate the billing amount for the number of period billing items, and multiplying the billing amount entered in the billing amount input field for the item attribute indicated by the calculation source item attribute classification by the number of periods entered in the number of period input field; and an automatic billing amount display control unit that displays the calculated billing amount for the number of period billing items in the number of periods input field on the contract input screen.

[0009] In addition, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the business support method of the present invention has a screen display control step in which a screen display control unit displays on a display unit a contract input screen including a billing amount input field for inputting the billing amount for each billing item under the contract, and a number of periods input field for inputting the specified number of periods for number of period billing items for which an amount equivalent to the specified number of periods is to be billed among the billing items; a calculation step in which a calculation unit refers to a billing item master table in which a calculation source item attribute classification indicating the item attribute used to calculate the billing amount for number of period billing items is stored, and calculates the billing amount for the number of period billing items corresponding to the number of periods under the contract by multiplying the billing amount entered in the billing amount input field for the item attribute indicated by the calculation source item attribute classification by the number of periods entered in the number of periods input field; and an automatic billing amount display control step in which an automatic billing amount display control unit displays the calculated billing amount for the number of period billing items in the number of periods input field on the contract input screen.

[0010] In addition, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the business support program of the present invention causes a computer to function as: a screen display control unit that displays on a display unit a contract input screen including a billing amount input field for inputting the billing amount for each billing item under the contract, and a number of periods input field for inputting the specified number of periods for number of period billing items for which the amount corresponding to the specified number of periods is to be billed; a calculation unit that calculates the billing amount for number of period billing items corresponding to the number of periods under the contract by referring to a billing item master table in which a calculation source item attribute classification that indicates the item attribute used to calculate the billing amount for number of period billing items is stored, and multiplying the billing amount entered in the billing amount input field for the item attribute indicated by the calculation source item attribute classification by the number of periods entered in the number of periods input field; and an automatic billing amount display control unit that displays the calculated billing amount for the number of period billing items in the number of periods input field on the contract input screen.

[0013] As an example, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a business support device for inputting the contents of a real estate rental contract will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention can also be applied to a business support device for inputting the contents of contracts other than real estate contracts, and is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0014] (overview) In the rental housing management industry, it is customary for security deposits or brokerage fees to be expressed as the number of months' rent. Therefore, if the amount of a specific billing item could be automatically calculated by adding the amount of the item to be calculated and the number of months (x months' worth), the burden on the person in charge could be reduced.

[0015] That is, for example, I want to automatically calculate the amount of the security deposit (300,000 yen, equivalent to 3 months' rent) using the formula "rent x number of months." The brokerage fee is equivalent to one month's rent, and I would like to automatically calculate the amount using the formula "rent x number of months." I would like the parking deposit to be calculated automatically using the formula "parking fee x number of months" as one month's parking fee. Administrative fees: I would like to enter the amount directly as a fixed amount, rather than having it automatically calculated based on the number of months.

[0016] For this reason, the business support device of the embodiment sets and registers the item attributes of the item for which the billing amount is calculated based on the number of months in the billing item master table (reference numeral 11 in FIG. 2). Then, when the number of months is entered when creating a bill for a deposit or the like, the amount is automatically calculated by multiplying the billing amount of the item that is the calculation source by the number of months, according to the settings in the billing item master table (reference numeral 11 in FIG. 2).

[0017] This makes it possible to accurately and easily calculate the amount to be claimed for items such as deposits or fees, which are billed for several months' worth of specific items, and also prevents missed billings and reduces the burden on staff of entering contract information.

[0018] (Hardware configuration) As shown in FIG. 1, the business support device 1 of the embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input / output interface unit 5. An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input / output interface unit 5. The output device 7 corresponds to a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television), a printing device, or a speaker device. The input device 6 may be a keyboard device, a mouse device, a microphone device, or a monitor device that cooperates with a mouse device to achieve a pointing device function. The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a network, for example, a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] A storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or SSD (Solid State Drive) can be used as the storage unit 2. The storage unit 2 stores a business support program that simplifies the input of billing items for billing amounts for a predetermined number of periods, thereby reducing the burden on staff.

[0020] The storage unit 2 also includes an invoice item master table 11, a property master table 12, a room master table 13, a business partner master table 14, an invoice item setting data storage unit 15, and a contract data storage unit 16, each of which is a storage area.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the billing item master table 11 contains the item code, item name, item attribute category, item classification category, and calculation source item attribute category of the contract content item to be entered. "Item attribute category" indicates the attribute of the item. The item attribute category for "rent" with item code "TK011" is "51: Rent."

[0022] Additionally, the item attribute category for "Common area charges" with item code "TK012" is "51: Rent". Additionally, the item attribute category for "Parking fees" with item code "TK013" is "53: Parking fees". Additionally, the item attribute category for "Security deposit" with item code "TK021" is "1: Security deposit". Additionally, the item attribute category for "Parking deposit" with item code "TK023" is "2: Parking deposit".

[0023] "Item classification" indicates the classification of fees for each item. The item classification for "Rent" with item code "TK011" is "2: Monthly." The item classification for "Common area charges" with item code "TK012" is "2: Monthly." The item classification for "Parking fees" with item code "TK013" is "2: Monthly."

[0024] Additionally, the item classification category for "Deposit" with item code "TK021" is "1: Contract money." Additionally, the item classification category for "Parking Deposit" with item code "TK023" is "1: Contract money."

[0025] The "calculation source item attribute category" indicates the item attribute used when calculating the billing amount. In the example in Figure 2, there are no item attributes used when calculating the billing amount for "rent," "common charges," and "parking fees." The "security deposit" item uses "51: rent" to calculate the billing amount, and the "parking security deposit" item uses "53: parking fee" to calculate the billing amount.

[0026] In the property master table 12, property codes and property names are stored in association with each other, as shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 3 shows an example in which a property code of "B0001" is assigned to "XX Mansion."

[0027] The room master table 13 has registered therein the property code and room number of each real estate property as shown in Fig. 4. In the example of Fig. 4, a real estate property with a property code of "B0001" has rooms with room numbers such as "101", "102", "103", ... "305", etc.

[0028] The customer master table 14 has registered therein the customer code, customer name, and customer type of each customer, as shown in Fig. 5. The example in Fig. 5 shows that "User A" with customer code "T0001" is a "landlord," and "User B" with customer code "T0002" is a "tenant."

[0029] (Functional configuration of business support device) Next, the control unit 3 executes the business support program stored in the storage unit 2, thereby functioning as a display control unit 21, a calculation unit 22, a data generation unit 23, and an output control unit 24, as shown in Fig. 1. The display control unit 21 includes the functions of a screen display control unit 25 and an automatic billing amount display control unit 26.

[0030] In this example, the display control unit 21 to the billing amount automatic display control unit 26 are described as being implemented as software by a business support program, but all or part of the display control unit 21 to the billing amount automatic display control unit 26 may also be implemented as hardware. In either case, the same effects as those described below can be obtained.

[0031] The screen display control unit 25 displays on the display unit (output device 7) a contract input screen (see Figure 8) including a billing amount input field for inputting the billing amount for each billing item (see each item name in Figure 2) according to the contract (for example, a real estate rental contract, etc.), and a period number input field for inputting the specified number of periods for the period number billing item (security deposit and parking security deposit in Figure 2) for which an amount equivalent to a specified number of periods (for example, number of months) is to be billed.

[0032] The calculation unit 22 refers to the billing item master table (see Figure 2) which stores the calculation source item attribute classification indicating the item attributes used to calculate the billing amount for the number of periods billing item, and calculates the billing amount for the number of periods billing item corresponding to the number of periods in the contract by multiplying the billing amount entered in the billing amount input field of the item attribute indicated by the calculation source item attribute classification by the number of periods entered in the number of periods input field.

[0033] The billing amount automatic display control unit 26 displays the calculated billing amount for the number of periods billing item in the number of periods input field on the contract input screen (see FIG. 8).

[0034] Furthermore, the screen display control unit 25 displays, among the number of period input fields on the contract input screen, the number of period input fields for the number of period billing items (input fields for the number of months for the security deposit and parking security deposit shown in FIG. 8) in an input-enabled state on the contract input screen. Furthermore, the screen display control unit 25 displays, on the contract input screen, the number of period input fields for billing items other than the number of period billing items (input fields for the number of months for rent, common area charges, and parking fees) in an input-disabled state.

[0035] The data generation unit 23 generates contract data including each billing item, the billing amount for each input billing item, the number of periods billing item, the number of periods input in the number of periods input field, and the billing amount for the number of periods billing item based on the display contents and input contents of the contract input screen (see Figure 9).

[0036] The output control unit 24 outputs the generated contract data to an output target device. This output target device corresponds to the output device 7, for example, and may be a display device, a printer, or a speaker device. The output control unit 24 converts the contract data into display information, print information, or audio information, and supplies it to the corresponding device. This allows the contract data to be displayed, printed, or audio output. In addition, the output target device may be the storage unit 2, an external storage device, a server device on a network, or the like, and the contract data may be output or transmitted to these devices for storage.

[0037] (Creating billing item setting data) Next, before entering the contract details, the person in charge creates billing item setting data that indicates the attributes and classification of each item, as well as the calculation source item attributes that indicate whether or not they will be used to calculate the billing amount corresponding to the number of months.

[0038] That is, when the person in charge specifies the desired property code and room number and specifies the display of a billing item setting screen (not shown), the display control unit 21 displays the billing item setting screens shown in Figures 6(a) to 6(c), 7(a) and 7(b) via the output device 7. The person in charge inputs the desired item code into this billing item setting screen. Based on the input item code, the display control unit 21 references the billing item master table 11 shown in Figure 2, reads out the item name, item attribute category, item classification category and calculation source item attribute category corresponding to the input item code and displays them on the billing item setting screen together with the input item code.

[0039] The example in Fig. 6(a) is an example in which the item code "TK011" is entered. In this case, the display control unit 21 reads out the item name "Rent", the item attribute "51: Rent", and the item classification "2: Monthly" from the billing item master table 11 shown in Fig. 2, and displays them on the billing item setting screen together with the item code "TK011".

[0040] Note that this "rent" is not an item used to calculate the billing amount for the number of months, and the calculation source item attribute classification is not set in the billing item master table 11. For this reason, the display control unit 21 displays the input field for the calculation source item attribute classification on the billing item setting screen blank or in a state where input is not possible, as shown in Fig. 6(a).

[0041] Similarly, the example in Fig. 6(b) is an example in which the item code "TK012" is entered. In this case, the display control unit 21 reads out the item name "Common Expenses", the item attribute "51: Rent", and the item classification "2: Monthly Amount" from the bill item master table 11 shown in Fig. 2, and displays them together with the item code "TK012" on the bill item setting screen.

[0042] Note that this "common area fee" is not an item used to calculate the monthly billing amount, and the calculation source item attribute classification is not set in the billing item master table 11. For this reason, the display control unit 21 displays the input field for the calculation source item attribute classification on the billing item setting screen blank or in a state where input is not possible, as shown in Figure 6(b).

[0043] Similarly, the example in Fig. 6(c) is an example in which the item code "TK013" is entered. In this case, the display control unit 21 reads out the item name "Parking fee", the item attribute "53: Parking fee", and the item classification "2: Monthly fee" from the billing item master table 11 shown in Fig. 2, and displays them together with the item code "TK013" on the billing item setting screen.

[0044] Note that this "parking fee" is not an item used to calculate the monthly billing amount, and the calculation source item attribute category is not set in the billing item master table 11. For this reason, the display control unit 21 displays the input field for the calculation source item attribute category on the billing item setting screen blank or disabled for input, as shown in Figure 6(c).

[0045] 7(a) is an example in which the item code "TK021" has been entered. In this case, the display control unit 21 reads out the item name of "Deposit", the item attribute of "1: Deposit", the item classification of "1: Contract Money", and the calculation source item attribute classification of "51: Rent" from the billing item master table 11 shown in Fig. 2, and displays them on the billing item setting screen together with the item code "TK021".

[0046] This "security deposit" is an item used to calculate the billing amount for the number of months, and a calculation source item attribute category is set in the billing item master table 11. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7(a), the display control unit 21 displays the calculation source item attribute category of "51: Rent" in the input field for the calculation source item attribute category. This indicates that the security deposit is calculated by multiplying the rent by a predetermined number of months. This will be described in more detail later.

[0047] 7(b) is an example in which the item code "TK023" has been entered. In this case, the display control unit 21 reads out the item name of "Parking Deposit", the item attribute of "2: Parking Deposit", the item classification of "1: Contract Money", and the calculation source item attribute classification of "53: Parking Fee" from the billing item master table 11 shown in Fig. 2, and displays them on the billing item setting screen together with the item code "TK023".

[0048] This "parking deposit" is an item used to calculate the billing amount for the number of months, and a calculation source item attribute category is set in the billing item master table 11. Therefore, the display control unit 21 displays the calculation source item attribute category of "53: Parking fee" in the input field for the calculation source item attribute category, as shown in FIG. 7(b). This indicates that the parking deposit is calculated by multiplying the parking fee by a predetermined number of months. This will be described in more detail later.

[0049] After creating the billing item setting data in this way, the person in charge operates a registration button (not shown), which causes the output control unit 24 to store the set billing item setting data in the billing item setting data storage unit 15 together with the specified property code and room number.

[0050] (Support function for entering contract details) Next, once the billing item setting data has been created, assistance can be provided for inputting the contract details. That is, when it is time for the person in charge to input the contract details, the person in charge specifies the display of the contract input screen. As a result, the screen display control unit 25 controls the display of the contract input screen shown in FIG. 8 via the output device 7.

[0051] This contract input screen has an input area for the contract number, an input area for the property code, a selection area for the room number, an input area for the landlord, an input area for the tenant, an input area for the initial contract date, an input area for the contract date, a selection area for the renewal period, and an input area for the contract expiration date.

[0052] This contract input screen also has a display field for contract information including a display field for item classification (contents), a display field for billing items (item code and item name), an input field for the number of months, and an input field for the billing amount.

[0053] The person in charge enters the contract number, which was set by automatic numbering or the like at the time of signing the contract, into the contract number input field. The example in Figure 8 is an example in which the contract number "KE001" has been entered. The person in charge also enters a property code that is uniquely assigned to the contracted real estate property into the property input field. The example in Figure 8 is an example in which the property code "B0001" has been entered. Based on the entered property code, the screen display control unit 25 references the property master table 12 shown in Figure 3, reads out the property name "XX Mansion" that corresponds to the property code "B0001", and displays it on the contract input screen adjacent to the property code, as shown in Figure 8.

[0054] The person in charge also points the cursor to the room number selection field. This causes the screen display control unit 25 to refer to the room master table 13 shown in Figure 4, read out the room numbers corresponding to the property code "B0001", and display each room number on the contract input screen in the form of a pull-down menu. The person in charge selects the desired room number from this pull-down menu. The example in Figure 8 shows an example in which room number "101" was selected.

[0055] Next, the person in charge enters the business partner codes of the landlord and the tenant. Based on the entered business partner codes, the screen display control unit 25 refers to the business partner master table 14 shown in FIG. 5, obtains the business partner names of the landlord and the tenant, and displays them adjacent to the business partner codes of the landlord and the tenant on the contract input screen. The example in FIG. 8 shows an example in which the business partner code "T0001" has been entered as the landlord's business partner code. In this case, the screen display control unit 25 refers to the business partner master table 14, obtains the business partner name of "User A," and displays it adjacent to the landlord's business partner code of "T0001" on the contract input screen.

[0056] 8 shows an example in which the supplier code "T0002" is entered as the supplier code of the borrower. In this case, the screen display control unit 25 refers to the supplier master table 14, obtains the supplier name of "User B", and displays it on the contract input screen adjacent to the supplier code "T0002" of the borrower.

[0057] In addition, the person in charge enters the initial contract date, such as "May 1, 2024," the contract date, such as "May 1, 2024," and the contract expiration date, such as "April 30, 2026," into the contract input screen. The person in charge also selects the renewal period, such as "2 years," using a pull-down menu.

[0058] Next, the screen display control unit 25 refers to the billing item setting data storage unit 15 based on the input property code and room number. As described above, each billing item setting data stored in the billing item setting data storage unit 15 is stored in association with a property code and a room number. Therefore, the screen display control unit 25 obtains from the billing item setting data storage unit 15 the billing item setting data corresponding to the input property code and room number.

[0059] Then, the screen display control unit 25 displays, in the "Contract Information" display field on the contract input screen, the item classification (content), billing item (item code and item name), input field for the number of months, and input field for the billing amount corresponding to the input property code and room number based on the acquired billing item setting data.

[0060] The display contents of the "Contract Information" shown in Figure 8 correspond to the billing item setting data shown in Figures 6(a) to 6(c), 7(a) and 7(b). The screen display control unit 25 displays billing items including the item classification (content) of "Monthly Amount" or "Contract Fee", item codes such as "TK011", "TK021", and item names such as "Rent" and "Security Deposit" in the "Contract Information" display field based on the billing item setting data shown in Figures 6(a) to 6(c), 7(a) and 7(b).

[0061] Here, when the screen display control unit 25 references the billing item setting data, it determines whether or not a calculation source item attribute classification is set. That is, it determines whether or not the item is an item for which the billing amount is calculated in months. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), a calculation source item attribute classification is set for each of the items "security deposit" and "parking deposit." Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the screen display control unit 25 displays the input fields for the number of months for each of the items "rent," "common charges," and "parking fee," for which a calculation source item attribute classification is not set, in the display area of ​​"contract information" in a state where input is not possible (the input field for the number of months is locked). Furthermore, the input fields for the number of months for each of the items "security deposit" and "parking deposit," for which a calculation source item attribute classification is set, in the display area of ​​"contract information" in a state where input is possible (the input field for the number of months is unlocked).

[0062] Next, the person in charge enters the billing amounts corresponding to the contract in the input fields for "rent," "common area charges," and "parking fees." In the example in Figure 8, "100,000 yen" is entered as "rent," "3,000 yen" as "common area charges," and "10,000 yen" as "parking fees."

[0063] In addition, the person in charge enters the number of months, for example, "2.0 (two months)" in the "Deposit" input field, which has the calculation source item attribute classification set and is ready for input, and enters the number of months, for example, "1.5 (one and a half months)" in the "Parking Deposit" input field.

[0064] When the number of months is entered in this manner, the calculation unit 22 calculates the amount by multiplying the amount of the item attribute set in the calculation source item attribute category of the billing item setting data shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b) by the number of months entered in the number of months input field.

[0065] Specifically, in this example, the calculation source item attribute category for "security deposit" is set to the item attribute "51: rent" as shown in Figure 7(a). Also, the items to which this item attribute "51: rent" is set are the "rent" item shown in Figure 6(a) and the "common area fee" item shown in Figure 6(b).

[0066] Therefore, the calculation unit 22 calculates the security deposit amount to be claimed as "206,000 yen" by multiplying the number of months "2.0 (2 months)" by "103,000 yen", which is obtained by adding "rent" of "100,000 yen" and "common area charges" of "3,000 yen" entered in the display area for the contract information on the contract input screen shown in Fig. 8. The automatic claim amount display control unit 26 controls the display of the calculated security deposit amount to be claimed of "206,000 yen" in the input field for the security deposit amount to be claimed, as shown in Fig. 8.

[0067] In this example, the calculation source item attribute category for "Parking Deposit" is set to the item attribute "53: Parking Fee" as shown in Figure 7(b). The item to which this item attribute "53: Parking Fee" is set is the "Parking Fee" item shown in Figure 6(c).

[0068] Therefore, calculation unit 22 calculates "15,000 yen" as the amount claimed for the parking deposit by multiplying the "parking fee" of "10,000 yen" entered in the display area for the contract information on the contract input screen shown in Fig. 8 by the number of months "1.5 (one and a half months)". Automatic claim amount display control unit 26 controls the display of the calculated "15,000 yen" amount claimed for the parking deposit in the input field for the parking deposit amount claimed, as shown in Fig. 8.

[0069] This allows the system to automatically calculate and input the billing amount for items such as security deposits and parking deposits, which are calculated based on the number of months, simply by entering the number of months, significantly reducing the burden on the person in charge.

[0070] Next, when the entry of the billing amount is completed, the person in charge operates a registration button (not shown). When the registration button is operated, the data generation unit 23 generates the contract data shown in FIG. 9 based on the displayed content and input content of the contract input screen, and stores it in the contract data storage unit 16.

[0071] This contract data is composed of the contract header data shown in Figure 9(a) and the contract detail data shown in Figure 9(b). The contract header data shown in Figure 9(a) is composed of the contract number, contractor code (tenant's business partner code), property code, room number, initial contract date, contract date, renewal period (years), and expiration date. In this example, the contract number is "KE001", the contractor code is "T0002", the property code is "B0001", the room number is "No. 101", the initial contract date and contract date are "May 1, 2024", the renewal period is "2 years", and the expiration date is "April 30, 2026".

[0072] The contract detail data shown in Figure 9(b) includes the contract number, item code (and item name), number of months, and billing amount. In this example, the contract number is "KE001," the item code for "rent" is "TK011," and the billing amount is "100,000 yen." The item code for "common area charges" is "TK012," and the billing amount is "3,000 yen." The item code for "parking fee" is "TK013," and the billing amount is "10,000 yen." The item code for "security deposit" is "TK021," the number of months is "2.0 months," and the billing amount is "206,000 yen." The item code for "parking security deposit" is "TK023," the number of months is "1.5 months," and the billing amount is "15,000 yen."

[0073] Such contract data is read out from the contract data storage unit 16 at a predetermined timing and used for accounting, display, printing, etc.

[0074] (Effects of the embodiment) As is clear from the above explanation, the business support device 1 of the embodiment can automatically calculate and input the billing amount of items that are billed in months, such as deposits or fees, by setting and registering item attributes of items that are billed in months in the billing item master table and billing item setting data.

[0075] This significantly reduces the burden on the person in charge of entering contract information, prevents oversight of billing, and allows accurate and easy calculation of billing amounts for items billed on a monthly basis.
